Theyve been clinical because our mistakes have been far worse but we had plenty of chances to punish their mistakes too. 
 

Before that goal we had more shots than them. 

Have you seen our powder puff shots?

Don't be silly, they are away from home and have been all over us.

This is it. They've ripped us apart on numerous occasions, same as Norwich did. At our gaff. Infront of our fans. And we've fucking spread our legs for them.  Fucked it.

We need Charles in midfield. Trouble is, at the moment, that means playing Holgate. But it that's the case, so be it. We are too open in midfield and at the back. We can't keep trying to outscore teams. (Albeit we have to now!)

Agree with this. Midfield without Charles hopelessly inadequate.

Fuck me, I thought we’d suffered enough last season. Obviously not. 
 

Time for players to look each other in the eye and say this is not fucking good enough.

It would be an insult to schoolboys to say we're making schoolboy errors. How many managerial fuck ups can this lot make?

I'm afraid to say I'm all for Martin leaving now. From what I have seen, this is the worst we have been in a very, very long time. He is absolutely tactically clueless.

Yeah apart from the bits where we’ve more possession and more shots. 
 

They haven’t outplayed us, we outshitted them. 

More possession and more shots doesn't mean shit if we're not even testing their keeper.

Tapping it around in the final third and hitting tame long range shots straight at the keeper does not qualify as "outplaying them".

Doesn’t make Leicester any better. A good team would have beaten them tonight, they’ve been shocking for a team that’s top of the league. 
That’s how bad we are.

Knew that Leicester would be the toughest challenge.

They are clearly a better side, way more stable and well drilled. They deserve to be ahead but good grief we've made it easy for them.

Ridiculous tactics anyone can see that. After shipping 4 and 5, I'd have expected a dour gritty match.

First aim would be not to concede. Charles has to be in midfield. Holgate just has to cope. FBs need to stay in their proper position. Make Leicester play against two resilient walls of 4. Bluntly both man and ball should ever pass.

Once control has been established gradually let the flair players loose.

Be pretty grim to watch but neither would Saints be 4 1 down.

They are better than us by some distance.

They've made a few mistakes but they have kept a decent defensive shape to stop us getting through and been clinical on the counter. A perfect away performance really.
