Worrying signs. Game should be over but we are allowing them to stay in the game. We all know what might happen and against a team that clearly has no confidence whatsoever. Had we kept the pressure on they would have folded and the crowd would have turned.

Glass half empty and defeat tonight would see our now slender lead evaporate, but there's no point dwelling on the three cosecutive defeats that have enabled the chasing pack to eat up our comfortable cushion. The season is now an 11 game fight to the finish. Glass half full and 4 points from our next two away games would leave us in pole position after the international break with key players back from injury. Tonight we must play with real fight, ambition and intent. Time to bring in experience and leadership so Vardy, Albrighton and Coady should all start. Come on you Foxes, show us what you're made of!

We've got ourselves into a four way fight now and simply playing this patient style to wear down the opposition will not be enough to get us over the line. Many of the teams we've played this season were so intimidated by us that they'd lost before the whistle blew, but our cloak of invincibily has now gone. Enzo needs to have a more flexible approach including route one if need be and be prepared to modify our tactics and adapt within a game. We also need to be able to fight, win ugly and show greater urgency and mental strength. Unfortunately Ipswich, Leeds and Southampton have shown that they have more of these qualities. My biggest fear is that Enzo lacks the experience to change the momentum shift that has occured over the last three games. The chasers will taste blood and we could be heading towards the lottery of the playoffs!

Credit to QPR they had a clear game plan and looked really comfortable. We are now in a battle and need to show some fight and variety in our approach if we are to avoid the lottery of the playoffs. Enzo's lack of experience as a head coach is cause for concern for the run in. Ipswich, Leeds and Southampton now all have the momentum. Worrying times!

It was like watching a car crash in slow motion. In a game we had dominated throughout after taking an early lead we then had a goal wrongly disallowed and missed a couple of guilt-edged chances, any of which would have put the game away. The really scary part is that we all knew what would happen next and sure enough it did. And a 12 point cushion, which would have made our run towards the title little more than a formality, was reduced to six in the space of a few minutes as we cracked under pressure. We certainly still have it all in our own hands but there is a nagging feeling that we'll find some way to screw it up!

For 75 minutes we totally outplayed an in-form Leeds who looked clueless about how to beat us to be fair. An incorrect call by the offcials robbed us of a vital second goal and we missed a couple of absolute sitters to put the game beyond Leeds. Had we netted a couple of the sitters we've missed in the last two games we'd be 15 points clear and the title race would have been over. The fact that the gap has now narrowed to 6 points and Southampton and Ipswich will likely also close in on us tomorrow is definitely cause for concern. And, given the way the way we collapsed under pressure in the final 15 minutes suggests we could well bottle it.

Agreed. He is clearly a raw talent that needs to be carefully nurtured. Enzo is clearly coaching him to improve his decision making and to add diversity to his play.

Mavididi tore them to shreds first half often taking on and beating two defenders. Fatawu, on the other hand, never took his man on. Always cut inside or crossed to the far post. Clearly playing to orders. Not sure what Enzo's thinking was.

Another great result but that was like watching a pre-season game. Second gear will do and will help us get through the heavy fixture schedule ahead.

Huge talent imbalance in our favour but, once again, failure to push for a second cost us. It's becoming a recurring theme. Why we regularly concede the initiative to inferior teams is becoming a real worry.

Definitely a game for Hamza.

This game is following a worrying pattern. We must be more assertive and get the second goal to kill the game off otherwise we might drop points against a very poor Cardiff team.

Played some great stuff. Totally dominated after the first 10 but for some woeful finishing this game would be over alraedy. A one goal lead is always precarious.

Results today and the fact that Leeds and Ipswich play each other next have given us the opportunity to put an exclamation point on the first half of the season. With two winnable games before we play Ipswich we could be 13 or more points ahead of third and 3 or more ponts ahead of Ipswich. This will have a huge psychological impact on every team trying to chase us down. Most would already concede the inevitable but we must continue to be remorseless. We gave the likes of Leeds and Southampton a sniff with a couple of defeats but since then we've snuffed out that ray of hope. The period when we lose players for the African Cup of Nations will provide the last glimmer of hope for the chasing pack. Survive that with a sizeable lead in tact and it would take a catastrophic decline in our form regardless of what the chasers do to deny us promotion back to the Premier League.

Most important win of the season so far. Huge and much needed momentum shift. Players and coaches went just as mental as us fans! Thanks WBA for that kamikazi gift. Reminiscent of the breakaway goal to clinch a plafoff place at Forest!

The fact that we're top of the league is indisputable, for another couple of days at least, and we still have a cushion to third. However, that cushion has been significantly eroded over the last 4 games. Should we lose again on Saturday in a game that could be our toughest test of the season so far, that cushion will likely be down to 5 or 6 points with as many as 4 clubs snapping at our heels for one of those all important top 2 positions. And we'll almost certainly have been knocked off top spot by Ipswich. We were always going to lose games, but our recent form is more than a blip I fear. We have become worryingly predictable and far too passive. We need to become more agressive and maximize the superiority we have in terms of player quality if we are to avoid the lottery of the playoffs at the end of the season. Those comforting themselves by quoting current statistics: points, goals for and against need to be reminded that it's how you finish that often determines the outcome of a game or a season. Remember our failures to qualify for the Champions League under Rodgers? Massive leads but no plan B. Some of us are beginning to have some serious flashbacks!

Not bothered about what other teams have done but when you are up against the worst team in the league you have to impose your superiority early and had we done so we'd have won that game going away. We didn't and they were still in the game at 1 - 0. We got what we deserved. We threw away two easy points and for me that's on Maresca.

We've been largely outplayed and outmuscled yet might have been 3 up. We need to up our game second half and put this one to bed. Rocket from Enzo at halftime!

Great discussion. Talking Enzoball is such a refreshing change after two years of turgid Rodgersball. Enzo is establishing a clear identity in terms of how he wants the team to play. The players are buying in and as a result he is getting the best out of them. So many have either improved or been rejuvenated after being undermined or frozen out by Rodgers. As fans we can now get really excited about the future of our club after the damage Rodgers inflicted. What a remarkable turn around. Well done Enzo!

How times have changed. I went to Anfield as a kid in the 60's with my dad. Being a nipper everyone around me seemed 10 feet tall and I couldn't see a thing. In those days there was no segregation and some Liverpool fans spotted my plight and said to my dad 'we'll shoulder him down to the front and look after him'. which they did. I got a bird's eye view for the rest of the game and a regular supply of sweets! I also remember after the FA cup semi final replay at Villa Park in 1974, which we lost to Liverpool, I was walking down the steps after the game and heard shouts from the terraces from our fans still behind the goal to come back as the Liverpool fans had invaded the pitch and were running towards our end. We rushed back in expecting a pitched battle but the Liverpool fans stopped in front of the goal and applauded us to which we responded in kind. Those were the days. Hope our fans support us vociferously at Anfield on Wednesday but show a bit of class and mutual respect for their opposite numbers.

I live in Canada and have an overseas pass for the season and didn't manage to connect until the start of the second half. Fuming!

Fair play to Preston and Ipswich, both have had incredible starts and are massively exceeding expectations, but their current form is unsustainable given their squads lack sufficient depth and quality. Trying to compete with one of the best and deepest squads ever to play outside of the top flight over a full season must be a scary prospect for the rest of the division. Their best hope would have been that we got off to a slow start and whatever happens against Norwich tomorrow that hasn't happened.

Disappointing result but the performance was pretty much on a par with the other games we've played this season. Player for player Hull are the best team we've played this season by some way. We could have got something out of the game but didn't get the breaks and didn't finish our chances today. We are a work in progress. New system. New players. After 5 games 12 points is a real bonus for a team that should get better and better as the season goes on. One baffling selection today. Surely Casadei should be starting over Ndidi!

Momentum! Momentum! Momentum! We now have positive momentum. Just contrast that with the negative momentum created by Rodger's trying to make a point in the opening game last season. As we might have expected, due to our lack of a proper preseason, we were undercooked and lacking match fitness. In addition we are clearly far from the finished article in terms of personnel. Coady's enforced absence due to injury is crucial as Vestergaard, who may be able to pass a ball, is a defensive liability due to his total lack of pace. We also lack a creative attacking midfielder to provide defence splitting passes in the final third. Ndidi cannot pass the ball so he is clearly a square peg in a round hole. Praet, as he proved when he came on and changed the game, should be starting but probably isn't because he's off to pastures new. Bottom line is that we are still a few peices short, but the window is open for a few more weeks. If Rudkin and co (I say this advisedly as I cannot believe they are still in their posts) can use the loan system or some of the money we have from player sales effectively then we will be the team to beat in the Champo this season, as we're only going to get better. The win over Cov today in their cup final, a game we really had no right to win, will have a huge positive impact on our chances of going on and gaining promotion straight back to the 'money' league!

We've gone from challenging the top 6 in the Premier League to relegation to the Championship in the blink of an eye, so it's difficult for us as emotionally invested fans to adjust to our new reality, but we have no choice. 12 months ago signing Winks would have been unthinkable but now it might be a very shrewd move. Hopefully Maresca and Glover are now pulling the transfer strings, otherwise the cretins that engineered our current situation will flush us even further down the pan!
