When the Leicester fans were singing “Jamie Vardy has won more medals than you!”, were they meaning each and every Town fan or in terms of Town as a club? Either way they’d be wrong, my cycling proficiency badge cancels out his premier league winners medal for starters and then I’ve got my basic swimming stuff from school to trump him.  |

Agree with pretty much all of this- if you'd asked a neutral at half time which team cost £50m to build they'd have been stumped. Leicester will probably improve over the season as their manager imposes his regime, but if that's the toughest game of the season (and all the pundits seem to think it will be) then we'll be fine. The ref's bias brought back memories of being in the PL though. Hope there was an assessor watching. I agree completely about the ref but somehow we still only had 1 booking to their 4 true enough, but we were given 8 free kicks, they got 15...which seems at odds to the number of bookings.. |

I can't remember a Town player who can skin a fullback with as much ease as Pat Jones can. I hope we can keep him fit.

They got a free kick every time they fell over though, whereas we only got them if we were kicked up in the air. 2 of their bookings were for dissent too. |

It should really have been 5 bookings. The ref was going to book Choudhury after the final whistle, he went to his pocket for the card but then didn’t bother brandishing it. Harrett was left prone on the floor after a challenge, Choudhury picked the ball up and threw it at him when the ref blew for the end of the game.

Seemed to be constantly stretching his hammies during every break in play. Must be so difficult to be such an explosive runner but worrying about your body letting you down at the same time. Got in behind at least twice I can remember for pullbacks / crosses. Massive plus if he can stay fit. |

Didn't think much to Leicester & wont be rushing out to bet on them either, come the Winter months with long trips to Ipswich & Cardiff days before our NY day meeting I will be backing Town to get something, not a huge difference between the teams with tired legs & a keeper error the deciding factor on the day......Give Ruffels a stab at free kicks (Can't be any worse), a bit of heading practice for some of the lads..UTT.

In the 15 games Ward has played in since Warnock came back he's scored two goals. Nowhere near good enough for a striker. I think you need to read up on football tactics bit more. Ward's chance conversion rate isn't far behind Mitrovic, but he gets less chances, therefore less goals. But his roll in a game like today isn't to finish off chances as much as to close down and bring others in to the game. The primary objective of any striker is to score goals, I don't need to read up on football tactics to know that. Ward had 53 shots last season and converted 5. If his job yesterday was to close down and bring others in to the game then he didn't do it very well, Ward was poor all round yesterday and our weakest link in a good overall team performance. There's a reason why Warnock wants to bring in a couple of strikers and it's not to run around without getting in to good scoring positions. |

Good performance against clearly a very good & well organised side.
If I have one criticism it was that we sat back too much after the break and invited them on. There were times when their centre back was bringing the ball forward with no one challenging for ages.
Got our mojo back after they scored though, and ended really giving it a go.

Great effort
Unlucky not to get a point - Diarra, Helik, Pearson all could have scored. Decent saves from long range bye you’d expect him to save those. Almost broke through a few times
They had the one on one and the 3 v 1 which should have been a clear chance but Hogg did well to invite him on his right and lots of half chances they wasted and on another day could’ve done more with. Other chances at end reflected us chasing game
Ref was hopeless fwiw. Far too many soft free kicks first 20 then inconsistent. Only free kicks we got were so blatent a leeds fan would’ve given them. Couldn’t see Jones clear enough but we’d have had to been shot to get a penalty. He bottled Choudhury at end but wasn’t fussed about that doesn’t help us

In the relegation zone with nil points.Unlucky or not, that is where we will remain UNTIL the striker situation is resolved, Unfortunately,as it stands,teams will always score 1 more than us. I still wish I could attend the games though!

I thought he'd kicked him in the head as he walked past tbh I didn’t see that bit, just him throwing the ball at KH. Both are red card offences. Throwing a ball at an opponent is treated in the same way as striking an opponent directly unless minimal force is used. I thought I saw a kick out at Harratt. I'm on the far side and my view wasn't the best. I didn't see the throwing of the ball; by that point I was looking at the ref to see if he'd seen it. |

He seemed to be walking gingerly in the way that Vaclik did when he was warming up. really hope he won’t be another case of injuries not allowing him to reach his full potential because with his pace and quality his ceiling is incredibly high. |

Calling him a bellend would be polite. You’re happy then ? Three games. Three defeats. No signings. Players sold. But hey you carry on clapping. Where did I say I was happy? Just because I'm not losing my shit, and acting like an attention seeking pleb on social media, doesn't make me a happy clapper. What I am, is realistic, objective, and not blinded by some weird desire to make my voice heard above all others, basically I'm everything that you're not. Just calm the fuck down. |

Anyone know what is happening with the south stand!?
Great noise as always generated by those in there but massive gaps at the front compared to previous seasons!?

Harrett was left prone on the floor after a challenge, Choudhury picked the ball up and threw it at him when the ref blew for the end of the game. I saw it from the other end, he deserved filling in for throwing the ball at him when he was on the floor. Compare the ref ‘not bothering’ to when VLP got sent off after the match for retaliation against Man City. |

Feel a lot more confident about how this season will pan out after yesterdays game.
They'll probably win the division and we matched them all over the pitch. Draw would have been the fairest result.
But loads of positives to take from that game despite the result.

So are you joking or aren’t you? Truthfully. In part yes. But don’t be fooled. Warnock is all but warnock and nobody else. Do you really think he read the posts on here and read mine out like he had found it ? Did he Bollox somebody did it for him. He can’t stand criticism. Fact is. 3 games. 3 defeats. Another awful start to a season. Dunc, I think you mean well. But I am not sure social media or fans forums are for you. You are all over the shop, contradictions, happy one post, not the next. If you consider yesterdays match as awful (which is in essence what you are saying here). I am not sure this is the right sport or football club for you. You might want to consider something else. |
