I think this is modern football though, we aren't unique. There aren't many grounds I've visited recently and thought wow. I'm really harking back to the 90s for most of it.

This is true tbf

I'm not saying we should win every game. I am saying we shouldn't conceed 3 goals in the last 10 minute twice in a 2 month period, entirely different things. Had we lost and been played off the park by Leeds fair enough but we are clearly a better technical side lacking in the mental strength not to lose (not win) that game despite what the football gods or Leeds threw at us. After the crsp refereeing and misses it was inevitable Leeds would do what they did, we weren't prepared. The is recognition of building up up a huge lead, the disappointment is we are squandering that work now. 6 points or 2 wins away from 3 other teams this afternoon, let that sink in. The facepalm part is where you think just because we beat a team at home or under no pressure we are suddenly gonna walzt in to their manor and take the 3 points this time, football doesnt work like that. Leeds and Southampton have been playing under pressure all season and certainly Leeds are delivering. We are now the hunted and I'm not sure this lot like being hunted.(you tell me with your thinking we will just turn up and win the reverse fixtures (becoz we did before) about goldfish level thinking...give it a wobble!). And try to reign in the offensive assumptions because you disagree aye? It's hard to have confidence in a team that throws away 1-0 leads at 80 minutes twice in big pressure games to be honest. If your roof blew off your house every time the wind blew you would have a reason to be worried about wind! I'm fully behind the team, I acknowledge they play song very good football but we have a major weakness mentally, there is not much fans can do about that. For clubs like us you either get technical weak players or strong cloggers, the technical strong players don't often play for Leicester. I also hope the same. It would be very worrying if every disagreement in opinion ended with the other side making claims about the intelligence of the other. Of course I hope I am proved wrong but to pretend I'm am not concerned about and near 20 point lead over 3rd diminishing to 6 points would be ludicrous. I remember the same happy clappers telling me the same in 20 and 21 seasons when when squandered a champions league spot. The next thing will be I'm entitled, and we should be happy with 5th we are 'little leicester'. We never win in 2015/16 if the players have that kind of shitty mentality, talking about what we have done rather than what we are going to do and need to do and the reality of the situation. Bury your head at your peril.

We clearly did sit back after subs, with respect if we didn't sit back, how were they in our half and how did they score 3 goal? I get maybe 1-1, but 3-1 in the last 10 minutes, that's the facts and the result regardlessof other factors. We shouldn't be losing any game after being 1-0 up for 80 minutes imo. We've done it 2 times this year now! The likes of Ipswich make their own look by not resting on their laurels and thinking they are too good.

Elland Road was quieter than the KP for much of last night. They woke up with a late goal, like any ground would.

Also 3 at Cov, similar situation. Our run in is more difficult that Leeds, Southampton and Ipswich. If form continues as is, one will 100% catch us, it's not unrealistic for 2 to. I do acknowledge other teams are doing well. It is very much a situation where there are 4 good teams it's likely someone will make 90+ and not get Promoted this year imo. To not be concerned given our recent history and form since Christmas against any side with a bit of spirit or quality would be unrealistic.

It's embarrassing how blasé and complacent some of our fans are about chucking away a near 20 point lead over 3rd place. Saying things like we will go unbeaten from now when there is no evidence at present to support that. Over the past few months more and more concerning form and performances. The Leeds support was shit until the last 10 minutes. The difference was they decided to go all out attack and make chances whilst we sat back. Are they technically a better side than us, no, but are they better at winning football matches at present, yes. Any set of fans will get behind that, we did last week against Boro. I dont care about dominating games, missing chances or shit refs. The simple basic is don't conceed 3 goals, if you conceed 3 goals, you lose football matches.

When you are 1-0 up on with 10 minutes left you just shouldn't be losing football matches. I don't really care how many we misses or if the ref was shit or we were amazing for 70 mins, rule number 1 dont conceed 3 ****ing goals! Then you don't lose, end of. That is where the issue lies, it's more problematic because its the style and mentality of this group of players. Many of them have already proved when the chips are down they disappear. I would love desperately for them to prove me wrong.

It's completely unfair to blame individual players. End of the day we shouldn't be in a position to conceed 3 goals in the last 10 minutes in any game. The way we play and setup allows this.

Yeah 21 was a bit of a bad example really, but it felt wrong to exclude a fa cup winning team as bottle jobs.

This lot aren't fit to clean the boots of the 15/16 legends. There is absolutely no way on earth this team goes unbeaten until may.

Not in 1997, 2009, 2014, 2015, 2016 and 2021 we didn't. Somehow then we had born winners and fighters in the team. Not always technically fantastic some but always fighting till the end. Now we have players who disappear when it matters. Maybe it a side effect this style of having technically better players who aren't good enough to be at the top clubs. You just have to accept sometimes then will roll over and hope they have enough quality to get over the line.

I'm not sure how you outclass someone and lose 3-1. We played well for 70 minutes yes, great football at times, then packed up and went home, unfortunately football matches last 90 minutes despite ideas to the contrary of much of our home support.

They were all over us 2nd half!

You kinda make your own luck. Score your chances and don't sit back inviting shots and pressure, you are less likely to conceded. If the ball is in the Leeds half they don't score, the game is that simple! If we are attacking their goal maybe we get the deflection.

It's perfectly possible. Look at Ipswich who have a piss easy run, Leeds do and Southampton have a easier run that us. Apart from QPR in March, there's no easy games for us. Got to visit Hull who beat us, Sunderland who outplayed us at the KP. Far from a done deal all these teams will reach 90 points + imo.

Because teams with strong mentalities don't let those situations occur. I'd forgive 1 or 2 games but this has happened in every game we have played this year where there has been any semblance of pressure, as the saying goes 'you make your own luck'. We either kill the game dead with the sitters we have or don't sit so deep, game management has been poor.

Get the players out tomorrow shooting at the ****ing white box thing you have to get the ball in. The amount of chances we missed tonight and last week, and the way we capitulated at the end it is a long way from over.

No not falling apart and getting at least a point shows strength. Mentally we are a long long way from being tge best team. That was a pathetic capitulation. Its all very well playing good stuff but too many times now we are failing to deliver when it matters.

Our fixtures are tough. We are gonna have to develop some balls, I don't see evidence.

Yes. Don't see where the next win after QPR comes. Sunderland, Hull, Southampton and Bristol can't see us getting much, we could be 3rd by end of March.

It's the absolute bottle jobs in thus team I worry about.

He put the players on the pitch. Weak mentality.

6 points, games against, Saints, Hull, Preston, Bristol easily gone.

Enzo has been outclassed. I can't see us winning many more from now on.
