Bad luck. It’s the excuse that gets trotted out after every poor result. But we keep doing the same things, making the same mistakes and dropping points in the same way.

At what point does something that keeps happening stop being “bad luck” and start becoming a tactical / mental issue which requires sorting?

Honest question here: what are the "same mistakes" and "same things" the team are doing that make us drop points?

Let's talk about the 11 on the field and not the off field decisions (subs etc.) as they have no bearing on this "luck" you're referring to

Not scoring the way we manage not to score on a regular basis, and conceding goals the way we concede goals at crucial times on a regular basis, is anything but bad luck.

Tonight was not bad luck. And to be fair you’re being wilfully ignorant at best to suggest anyone’s saying that tonight.

Leicester player brilliantly, we couldn’t cope, and we were mentally fragile. No luck involved.

Some on here would say that we have been unlucky in every game since United at home! The major bit of bad luck is we have Potter as the manager!

This. Those who wish to deny what's happening are fooling nobody but themselves.

How can you call someone ignorant, but then proceed to tell them that Leicester were brilliant and we couldn’t cope, despite being by the far the better team for entire first half? We suffered from our usual missed chances and inadequate subs.

Luck is just that. We're gash, that's fact. Less than the sum of the parts.

GP is 70's Aston Martin . . . Allegro door handles give it away.

Agree with this. We've had plenty of bad luck recently but today was a bog standard loss to a team playing better than us in the second half. Doesn't make it much less painful though.

Unlucky is hitting the frame of the goal 5 times in a match.

This is our own doing and they need to start taking collective responsibility, players need to be dropped

For me we have plenty on the bench who should be starting based on the last month worth of performances

This match was just a normal football match.

We were better first half, they were better second half.

Draw probably would have been fair enough, but no massive arguments that we lost to the 2nd best team in the country

The last 3 games before that have been preposterously unlucky ... I mean we could have helped ourselves more clearly ... but still very unlucky as well

We are so unlucky that the other teams keep scoring more than we do. So unfair.
