The Staying Up Tracker says today was a point gained, but to not win when one up at home against ten men, it feels like two dropped.
So, what was it?

we're one point further away from the relegation zone than when we started the day, and thats all that matters in this league right now, so its a point gained.
Always think a point gained where against a more expensive/illustrious team.
But not today, an hour against 10 men, at home.
Lack of subs by CH is pathetic.

That’s the big picture, you’re spot on. I’m pretty sure we’ll stay up and next summer deal with glaring squad weaknesses.
But with this particular discrete event in the season, throwing away a home win against ten men, is gutting in the moment. Only natural to feel that, admit it, then move on.

I'm sure Leicester fans would consider it a point won, so hardly surprising the vote is currently 1:16. But why is 'two points dropped' in italics? Imagine the mayhem if the referendum options had been in different fonts!

I have to say our approach in that second half was pretty embarrassing. Wasting time with every throw in/goal kick. No ball boys to be seen. Took an equaliser to get anyone bothered about attacking again.

I believe in the tracker.
Although that does mean today was one of our best 3 results of the season.
Doesn't really feel like it

These things happen when you have a mentality arthritic manager.
Normally I'd agree with this. But to me it feels like five points dropped in two games - and that is a great concern.

Italics indicate the vote you made. I voted the other way and "A point gained" is in italics for me.

Massive 2 points dropped. Hugely frustrating and disappointing.

Not so sure about that one. All you have to do is read other teams forums and they say pretty much the same as this..
I wasn’t there, but if that’s true about us time wasting for the entire second half, that’s disgraceful at home with a man advantage. I despise clubs who kill this sport with that crap, and in a way justice for football was done with Leicester destroying that ‘master’ plan.
.... if that’s true?

Both.
Two points dropped as that game was the taking and should have been comfortable and if not for our negativity would have comfortable.
Point gained because the tactics and the way we played, we deserved nothing out of that game.
To sit back against ten men, at home, against a mid-table side, 1-0 up, is simply not acceptable.
Hughton needs to have a good look at himself. Fans will accept that against the top teams and away from home, but not against a mid table side, 1-0 up, against 10 men. Simply not good enough.

2 points dropped. To come out in the second half with a (seemingly) defensive attitude just invited Leicester to attack. They soon twigged it, bought on Vardy and pure panic set in. To see GM struggling just before half time invited some fresh legs up front. When the change came it was too late, if only CH would be a little more adventurous when the game is there to be killed off.
