I think their performance today was all about us.

Not many teams can play 'their' game against a team that in your face, as we were.

When they switched it to 4-3-3 chasing the equaliser you could see the quality in the side.

You`re right for about 10 minutes after Wood came on they looked like they might do a smash and grab,but then Casper returned to sending the players up the pitch and hoofing the ball into our box, as he had done pretty much the entire match.

I thought the foxes were quality, from 25th to 45th minute, every time they had the ball they looked very dangerous and powerful.

Maybe it's because they don't always play like that.

A bit (actually a lot) harsh on Leicester. I think if we hadn't got that penalty then I wouldn't have bet against them equalising. They were very tricksy and caused all sorts of problems for our defence after they got that goal back. And that was a blinding header - shouldn't have been unmarked but a lovely goal nonetheless.

Talking to a leicester fan after the game Route One is a tactic they employ regularly which their fans are constantly complaining about.

If you listen to Pearson's post match stuff - if you can cope with the constant "umms and errs" - he says we played well "in patches", and Barnes "just can't stay on [his] feet" in reference to the penalty. We "tried to buy a second booking for Wasilewski" by bringing on LuaLua...when it kind of looked like LuaLua was brought on to relieve pressure on us by giving us an extra outlet.

I dunno, he kind of pissed me off in the interview.

I think it was probably for both reasons to be fair. Lualua was primarily brought on as an relief outlet but I'm better sure Oscar would have told him to run at the defence and look for the second booking which I think is a valid tactic

This. Even at 2-0 I was worried, some of their build-up was superb, it was evident why they're top.
