[Albion] Leicester: a point gained or two points dropped?

[London Irish]

It was a very cowardly display to sit back so deeply against 10 men. I’d say with courage like that we didn’t deserve one point. Worrying

Playing at home against a side outside the 'big six' + 1 goal up + 1 player up for most of the game = 2 points dropped.

 

[Luke93]

2 points dropped. 1-0 lead verses 10 men, at that point you’d expect to win. “It’s hard to play verses 10 men” is a cliche often used, but I’d like to see the stats of how many teams throw away a lead verses 10 men.

It's not a new thing.

Fair enough. I'm much more amenable to clickbait when we win although I imagine the site has far less viewers when that's the case so I guess it's a case of striking whilst the iron is hot.

You'd like to think that you'd prevail over a full hour of playing against ten men. Would have been good to have put the game to bed before Vardy came on, because somehow you just knew he'd score. But heigh ho, every point is a point gained, they all count when the teams below you are dropping three points.

Hour with an extra man at home against dont get me wrong a good side but there a high mid table side at best. Definatly two points dropped but inleast we improved from last seasons result.

 

[Seagull1989]

2 points dropped it was predictable what was going to happen. I was actually hoping Leicester would score early so we would come out and attack again

 

[Silverhatch]

Would’ve taken a point at KO. Wanted 3 at half time. Very glad to still be in the game at 85 minutes even against ten men. When we finally replaced injured and blowing Murray and shot (but sublime) PG we could’ve nicked 3 again. Chris must show more aggression and flexibility at home. We need 433 at Huddersfield and Andone has to start.

 

[The Sock of Poskett]

Feels like two dropped now.
But suspect that later in the season we'll look back on it as a valuable point against a higher ranked, more established opponent with a much deeper and more expensive squad.

 

[Blue3]

Point gained but disappoint we did not match them up when they went down to 10 men if we had gone to a three back line and an extra midfielder and brought the subs on earlier I think we would have won, but then again what do I know here we are one point ahead of the tracker much happier than Southampton or Huddersfield

 

[Lower West Stander]

2 dropped - the way we played in that second half was just asking for trouble.

No one minds if we go down with a bit of drive and fight but against 10 men that second half performance was appalling.

If I was a Leicester player waiting 5 minutes for Ryan to take one of those goal kicks, I would have been thinking “we’ve got them here”

Felt like a defeat but every point is valuable at this level. A point a game should keep us up however boring it is to watch.

 

[Machiavelli]

Before the game: point gained
At half time: two points lost
End of the season: ?

Jesus H Christ on a bike. Absolute charity giveaway for christmas, BHAFC donation to LCFC. Holy cvunting fvck what a 'bend over' second half. Chris needs to ****ing step up and put situations like this to the sword. We just sat there like a prom queen slut and spread them for LCFC to take what they wanted. FVCKING EMBARESSING!!!!!

 

[nicko31]

Too negative, 2 pts dropped but would have take a point at the start of the day

 

[LamieRobertson]

Has to be two dropped

 

[Albion Dan]

Dropped. That second half performance was not only shockingly bad it should leave Hughton and the players feeling utterly embarrassed. Outthought and outfought.

We were walking around whilst they were busting a gut and Hughton let it all unfold. No attempt to change the game until they’d equalised. Why on earth not bring on a pacey Andone much earlier when GM was clearly struggling? March for AK basically a defensive change. The developing trend is becoming very worrying.

Yep, CH ****ed it up for us today with his fear of losing tactics against 10 men who were a goal down. I’d give him 4 out of 10. However much we give him to spend on players I don’t think he is any more than a survival specialist at this level, if we want to progress we will have to get a manager with more nous but he will keep us here if that’s all that we want.

It was two points dropped and felt like a defeat to me.

 

[saafend_seagull]

Depends how we do against Huddersfield. Lose that and then it’s an awful return from Cardiff/weakened Leicester at home/hudd.

We'd have won that if Smug had been in charge!
