Adingra and O’Riley were poor startERS today. I think Weiffer and Gomez would have been better.

I think both Adingra and O’Riley ( and maybe Hürzeler too 😉) should have gone out on loan in January and imo we should have kept Enciso and McConville

It's a silly game though isn't it. Adingra, ORiley and Minteh were actually excellent today, great runs, crosses, through balls, got in brilliant positions, each should have had 2 or 3 assists today. The reason they didn't is because the same three managed to fluff excellent chance after excellent chance (and add Pedro and Welbeck to that).

They kept putting it on the plate to each other, and then f***ing the final shot up. What do you do......:shrug:

Before kick-off I did fear the worst but this feels worse.

Yeah it's weird. I thought we'd lose in a jokey "classic Albion" kinda way but somehow needing two penalties to draw at home to Leicester whilst spending the last 20 minutes of the game looking like a Sunday league team actually does feel worse.

Sunny Sussex, occasionally Leith
After Leicester's subs they were bossing the game. Hurzeler failed to react to that. Fortunate to get away with a point against a truly dreadful Leicester side.

What is the point of Wieffer if Hurzeler doesn't trust him, or considers him incapable of coming on and taking the initiative in midfield with twenty minutes left?

Hopefully some of you lickers can see now why I've been saying this goon should have been sacked a long time ago. We are going backwards. A draw at home to the second worse team in the league, who have stunk the division out all season, is quite frankly a shambles. Anyone that defends him after this is a Palace fan.

Ignoring the trolling comment …

TB isn’t going to sack a young development manager a few months into
his first season ( or even during his first season). That is not how we work. We all know ( as Hürzeler has said himself) it is a learning curve.

That was a shocking performance today - we looked in disarray and knackered frankly. I didn’t agree with the line up or our failure to change our shape to counter the late press from the Foxes.

However, we are still in the top half
of the table, have played some impressive football this season, beaten top sides away and responded well to our League loss away to NF. We are also still with a chance of qualifying for the Conference or even Europa. We especially missed Van Hecke today and Mitoma.

It’s always tough coming back from an international break too - managing fatigue, a combined 21 players on int duty (in the age teams and Men’s first team) interruptions to our momentum and coping with 10 players out injured.

Same as always, a poor run of results by the team as a whole is down to a range of factors but there is no excuse for individual errors as we saw today and the poor finishing. A manager can give player a game plan but if they execute that game plan badly on the pitch ie miss sitters, there is a limit to what the Manager can do imo.

That game should have been sewn up by half time. Disgraceful finishing.

It really was absolutely pathetic. What were they doing?

As we missed sitter after sitter, all I could think was 'there's only one way this is going to end'.

Our inability to finish teams off is the most frustrating thing about this squad and manager. The “guys” need an absolute roasting for the way they have binned this season and I hope Hurzeler has the balls to give them one. Enough of the excuses, the buck stops with him.

Today’s squad should have won that game comfortably

Europe is off the cards now imo, need to concentrate on staying above Palace, which on current form is a tough shout.

At least they held the London train at Lewes so will be back to Polegate half an hour earlier, good old Southern, small win

Beating Newcastle in the cup did us and then the international break, we could have had a break before the Villa game and could have got a result against them and Palace. We lost arguably our 2 best players against Forest and we are always poor at home against rubbish sides, we will probably beat Liverpool at home but think we need the end of the season now.
