Yep - just seen that on MotD. Just waiting now for 'these things even themselves out over the season' to help us out!

Ive just watched MOTD and they didn't confirm it.

Not directly addressed in later posts, but yes, time wasting from about 40 mins, mostly not getting the ball when it had gone out of play. The ball was just sitting there against elec hoardings, with seemingly one short arsed ball boy trying to reach it and flick it back, but struggling as not tall enough. Another time Duffy stood waiting for ballboy and gave up, another time Ryan bollocked Bernardo for going to get it, so he stopped, and we waited for ballboy again.
You are right, it's embarrasing, and loathsome, and we ended up wanting those few minutes right at the end to get the winner..

So, it was there for us to win, but we lost. Two points lost then.
Rather annoying really.............

Bang on .......the change from 1st to 2nd half was shocking and something that needs to be recognised and ironed out of the system.

I said two points lost earlier.

Thanks. That’s pathetic from us and Leicester got their just desserts then.

Fed up with trains. Sick of the rain.
Two dropped.
Second half was as dreich and depressing as the weather.

Two points dropped. And five dropped in to games thanks to the same negative, initiative surrendering tactics. We should be sitting pretty in the top half of the table with 20 points, well on our way to survival. Which, as a knock on effect, would (or at least should) mean that we can have a really good go at the f.a cup without having to worry about the league.
Playing with the handbrake on means that instead of having an easy, comfortable, fun season we're going to make much harder work of it. It's very frustrating. Trouble is we may well struggle if we do release the brake and become more aggressive and assertive in matches as our success is based on our being a well drilled unit and we definitely don't spend a lot of hours on the training ground working on going for the jugular. A little more positivity wouldn't hurt though would it?

Has to be a point gained shirley? Could have been a whole lot worse if Vardy had started and Maddison hadn't been sent off after half an hour.

strong and stable with me, or...
PLUS, Gross was onside for his goal, Ianacho offside for the pen and DIVED over Kayal which I said last night even before I saw the motd replays (accepting Kayal was foolish diving in). Despite us being poor 2nd, think we have every right to feel a bit aggrieved!
