In the end, it matters not. We didn't do enough in the second half and didn't take the half chances we created in the first. Have to applaud Rogers for his tactical change. He returned the favour, as Ralf had the tactics in the last game against them.

No problem. Discussion is good and seeing things from the other point of view essential to find the best solutions to problems. Many people of colour obviously don't think enough is being done. The black lives marches and taking a knee enabled them to express on mass and brought their issue right into the spotlight. "Things are not all good. Things can improve". It created attention. Job done. What happens next? What can be done to improve things? I don't know the answer to that. Three word slogans solve nothing. I hope others with a better understanding of this subject do.

away games aren't quite what they were, to be fair. Still, its a good record. Hopefully we can get a few senior players back and start scoring a few goals.

Lots of room for improvement, but bring back Ings and we have a cutting edge up front and that relieves pressure on the defence. We are a mid table side punching well.

maybe you need some specs, tinged or otherwise.

Amen. We ran them ragged first half. We did everything we could, but they were too good on the day. Lots of positives to take from this game. We are so much better than two years ago.

we do have some injuries

I disagree. We were excellent to a man in the first half. Second half we weren't goof, which was largely down to Leicester stepping it up big style. We lost. No need to throw the whole side under the bus.

the decision on the Diallo foul was atrocious. As was not sending Diallo off. Rest of game he was pretty decent.

Tactically Leicester got it right in the second half and Ralf either couldn't adjust or didn't have the players on the bench to do anything. For me the ref not giving us the foul on Diallo changed the game. It left us scrambling in defence and we couldnt recover. Going a goal down killed us.

Leicester stepped it up and we were already on our limit in the first half. They have made it very tough to pass it out fro the back and we have turned over possession to easily.

brilliant save

we are struggling. their change of tactics is strangling us.

Diallo lucky, to be fair.

thought we looked tremendous on the break, but we miss Ings to finish it off with his extra class. Diallo is an absolute beast in midfield. He looks a tremendous signing.

fuming about that missed foul by the ref. Left us scrambling and we never recovered leading to the goal. Very very poor decision.

More that he wasn't sharp enough on the turn rather than 'pushed around'. Same outcome though.

how on earth is that not a foul. Attwell has fucked us there.

I thought Ralf might give N'Lundulu the nod, but I am looking forward to seeing what Smallbone can do against what is a very good side. We got our tactics absolutely spot on last time we played them. Need to do so again, as they are very dangerous on the break and have guile on the ball too. COYR

your post quoted me, so I'll assume the content was aimed at me. Where have I suggested the UK is inherently racist? Nice straw man. I'd agree, the UK is pretty tolerant, but that doesn't mean there isn't any racism at all. I've no knowledge or experience of how soft the Police are on gangs due to fear of being labelled a racist, so won't comment.

Highlighting issues, through protests etc. doesn't contribute towards change? I am not sure I agree with you on this.

What if thousands of people all wore the same `don't fight in pubs' t-shirt to the pub every week, it got media attention as to the fact that it was a major issue and ignoring it was no longer good enough, and that media attention was retained by the continued and repeated act, which perhaps helped get other stuff implemented that contributed towards less fighting in pubs, would the wearing of the t-shirt seem a less bizarre concept?

better value in terms of lower wage? Lower fee? I think Williams can play at this level and on both sides. I know we shouldn't need jack of all trades, but nice to have, especially if you want to have a small squad. Omar Richards still not signed on a free with Bayern.

for my sins I watched the whole thing. The early clips make him look pretty poor, I have to say. but there's one or two nice flashes of skill as you go on and some good longer balls out wide. He makes a fair few interceptions, showing good anticipation, but mostly it just bad passing by opponents. I'd like to see more of how he does when under a bit more pressure. Most of the clips show him having hours of time. He looks pretty quick across the ground and is willing to go to ground to make a tackle, but I get the feeling he doesn't work quite hard enough to get the right side and maybe even does the bare minimum because he has the recovery speed - he's a bit casual, possibly, and could maybe do more. Looks comfortable on the ball, but one footed. Doesn't dribble and show much, if anything going forward. Bit of a meh for me, but that's just on this video, nothing else.

very good point and if you take it would step further, maybe player demanding that huge wage will have to settle for a little less than they would have prior to COVID?
