It's a point gained. We never had the three points to lose.

Probably ought to call it gained based on the fact we looked like losing the whole second half, but in reality it is two dropped. Failure to win when at home and already in front against 10 men for an hour is unforgivable.
If you think that, it’s saying something. Normally very positive about all things Albion.
Two dropped all day long. They looked like they had the extra man. Every time they attacked they had a man over. At 1-1 we then battered them, why the F did we not come out with that attitude at the start of the 2nd half.
Leicester being down to 10 men attitude compared to ours at Cardiff was the completely opposite. Massive points dropped over the past 2 games.

Just depressingly inevitable really.
But to be expected when we are the only team in the Premier League that has to play 38 away games.

We had chances to win that game then stood back and the inevitable happened. we should try and kill games by going for the 2nd goal as opposed to defend a 1-0 lead. Leicester were all over us in the 2nd half despite having a player less.
Today we really should have won and I hope lessons are learnt from this.
Just this. We look like the away side almost every week by trying to sit on a 1-0.

I can’t believe how many people have said a point gained?! I admire the positivity, but seriously?!
People have to give the opposition credit. A lot of this team won the whole league a couple of years ago FFS. I don't think we tried to be negative 2nd half, but were wary of the counter attacks which is Leicester's forte.
Its not unknown that a team with 10 men will get a silly penalty chasing the game to earn a point.

At the start of the day a point gained
After the game 2 points dropped. Few games in the league where you will play with 11v10 for over an hour and you have to find a way to win especially when 1 up already.
We were better 11v11 proactive and looked as good a side. Vardy changed a lot but even still once they equalised we started to press again and threatened. Not sure why we sat off 11v10

Two points dropped. It was like the half time team talk was "right, they've got ten men - so they'll be easier to defend against.."
The subs baffled me, too.

It’s delusion when positivity ignores reality.

Yep, looking like this. Certainly we are dull to watch. We’ll be on after the MOTD closing credits at this rate never mind last match all the time.
It's not a new thing.
Horrid second half, very frustrating but we, as usual, didn’t create enough decent chances. Fair play to Leicester, really went for it after the break.
