    It didn't look like they lacked the hunger, just a bit of quality in the final third.

    i watched it online in my hotel, lacked passion for me..when the going gets tough, the tough get going, I didn't see that tonight for me. at the final whistle they were not hurting...sorry. that game had 0-0 written all over it.the manager and the players lacked the guile and guts to change it. thats why we will not make the playoffs.

    We didnt want it as much

    Marshall was our best player

    Why bring Howard on? And for Dyer?

    Why is Nugent on the wing?

    beckford was the worst player i have seen in a city shirt in a long time. And i think i may have even seen Luigi Glombardi.

    Nugent needed to go up top if we play 4-2-3-1. I like that formation, but beckford is a boarderline disgrace.

    I have always said he is not a leicester type player,but he lived on scraps tonight, nigel has to take the majority of the blame for this performance, absolutely no plan B.. against a very limited side.

    Why are you all surprised by this performance it was on the cards. We should all forget this season and expect nothing from it. At least that way when we win it will be more enjoyable. I see Beckford is crap now he hasn't scored for two games. Im not a massive fan of Howard tbf, i think Pearson just brought him on as Schlupp and Beckford are quite similar in a way so wanted three different options. the midfield was cramped and not working any way so he just tried something differen't. Didn't work but never mind he was our only other option.

    Onwards and upwards we will beat peterborough 1-0 saturday Nugent i reckon

    what a total twonk you are, so you missed the game but somehow decide we lacked hunger, what a load of rubbish. There were two teams playing tonight, a team thaqt defended very well, and another which lacked ideas. Pearson made some errors tonight. Never bring Howard on, hes past it, should have pushed nugent uptop earlier but instead brought him off, thought defence was fine, bamba did well, drinkwater went missing second half, crossing 2nd half was awful, very frustrating and disappointing but no lack off effort or hunger, it just fits perfectly into our inconsistent season. Win against posh and donny and we will right back in it and suddenly we will be brilliant again.
    oh and i would love to round up the morons who booed at half time and the end and ban them, they aint fans in any shape or form.

    It was just one of those games. This is the problem with us atm in my opinion, the media fans etc are getting all sensationalist like the good ole tabloids and i think the players pick this up and this has conrtibuted to our inconsistency. If a Nil nil draw at home gets booed wouldn't you be so nervous of doing the slightest thing wrong? I know i would.

    Yes it was a poor performance, nevermind it wasn't that bleeding bad and weve got a game in a few days time to try and move on. Take the positives and move on. Clean sheet and we are a point better off.

    I cant understand that as soon as we get a poor result the same charaters come out. Forest have picked up some form of late and being a derby would always be up for it. We just ouldnt get the break through - there was NO lack of desire. And whilst Howard may have been suspet, i can understand that he brings on a different dimension that may help sneak the odd goal (like when he plays against Leeds). If we had kept up our current form under Sven then we wouldnt be scrapping for the Play Offs!

    You play against three centre halfs then.

    The guy is a goalscorer, not a goal creator.

    It's Pearson's fault that he didn't have a partner.

    We are not going to get any better in the championship to be honest. Give him and Nugent the stiking positions and have schlupp and another striker (waggy) as back up/ pushing nugent and beckford for starting positions.

    You have to remember that not everything works out straight the way like Lambert at Southampton for example. We haev to realise that that kinda stuff is once in a blue moon

    maybe he just isnt designed for that role. But no touch, no chasing down, no challenging for headers, cant create anything unless 1-on-1, cant pass, shooting appalling. He is normally better than today, and good when on form, but that was atrocious.

    Brilliant. Absolutely brilliant.


    Typical Leicester fan. What was your opinion on him LESS THAN A WEEK AGO when he scored twice against Blackpool?


    The bloke has 5 goals in 5 games, he has one bad game and you say something as stupid as that.

    ^ im obviously not being serious and dont really mean he is THAT bad. But for me that performance was the worst thing i have witnessed out of any player that i can remember. Its a bad game for him, and that boy can know how to find the net, but he was like a liability today.

    He didn't play well i agree, I dont think he played as bad as you think but i agree he wasn't great. Many others played poorly too aswell but there wont be any posts about them.

    Hes a bit like Dyer. Can only play one way and can't seem to adjust his game. System didn't suite his style and he can't seem to play any other way although i could be wrong to be fair.

    i accept that is his game, but even when dyer plays bad he still tries. He puts in a shift just the full-back can handle him. Beckford literally contributed nothing. Couldnt control a ball, see a pass nor play a pass.

    As he brings **** all to the team now. Get rid
