To think had we won at Cardiff we would have been going into this game with some hope of autos to be greeted by this performance.

If we do go up we will be murdered without a raft of signings we probably couldn't afford.

tried to pass it out, under pressure we are not good enough to do it, turned the ball over quickly and it led directly to conceding.  

My word. In contrast, Leicester beat our pathetic press with ease and we are in massive trouble.

This, if Martin was a good manager instead of a decent one, he would change this, as they are breaking against us with ease / making us go long.....

Of course, Martin is not a good manager, so that is that

Perfect example of why Leicester are where they are and why we will not get automatic promotion. Ball with Leicester defence, they play the ball around our high press in the same way we do with opposition strikers but once the ball was played out to their defensive midfielder he makes a scything through ball straight to their pacy attackers. In that situation we would go from our defensive midfielder back to the left back, back to centre back, back to goalkeeper, back to right back, then to defensive midfielder again before knocking it back to the left back then up to a winger then back to the left back then centre back and back to goalkeeper. Meanwhile their whole team get back into position again. I get the playing our the back but it needs to be more zippy in getting it up the pitch. It's passing just for passing sake which is frustrating as sh!t to watch.

Adams has spent most of the half on the ground rather than on his feet.

 

He’s a fucking disgrace. Going through the motions. He needs to get his body round the ball & hold off the centre halves. For all this talk of brave, he’s fucking hiding.

FFS Rothwell, if you're not fit enough to play then go down and get the play stopped so you can get treatment. Don't just trot aimlessly about the pitch until you get subbed and leave us effectively a man down.

Whatever we needed in the January window. It wasn’t Brooks and Rothwell. Terrible.

Apparently Darren Mowbray was clocking up air miles looking at players, and of course we had Jason Willcox as acclaimed football guru in charge. But we still end up with two loans from along the coast at Bournemouth.

Rothwell now gone off injured in one of the worst 40 minutes you’ll see from a player

Wasn't’’t quite fat Chaz at Fulham away a few years back, but slots right in at number 2.

don't agree with this. He's not hiding. He's trying hard but just is not good enough.
