Nacho’s chance at the start of the second half was better than both the Villa chances you mention, so it wasn’t as if we were under the cosh. We were well under the cosh for large portions of the game. I'd argue Watkins fumbling at the back post with a tap in was easier too. I'm just not willing to celebrate turning the corner yet because I don't think we have. 6 1

There were obviously encouraging signs, particularly from Tete (not just him but also the change of shape and options he gave us) but I am aware that Villa were awful defensively and that may or may not have flattered us. I'd certainly want to see more evidence before proclaiming we're back. Edited 8 February 2023 by taupe 4

Neither should we celebrate anything beyond winning the one game and some improvement in that single game. I am certainly not suggesting we should, but neither should use previous games to devalue the improved performances in this one game. There is no corner turned yet for sure, not disputing that, but we can allow ourselves a small shred of localised enjoyment from an improved performance and the hope the new signings bring.

I enjoyed the win, ofcourse. I just stated before that I thought we had a huge slice of luck, it's not a dig. Tete is cause for enthusiasm for the few games he's here is the biggest take away. Along with iheancho is the second coming. Edited 8 February 2023 by ARTY_FOX 1

It was an exaggerated response thats more to do with the me thinking we were pretty lucky to win. Which I still maintain we were. Doesn't mean I'm not happy to win mate.

Oppo Teams are always shit when we beat them..There is always condemned man's attitude to us winning 3pts. All leagues are about a game at a time,but one can yodel when plan B works.. FT enjoys being miserable and cantankerous everytime we lose, then they can be bloody extatic when we win.. Always..sir but sir attitude..! Edited 9 February 2023 by fuchsntf

With that being said I am happy we've won a game at last but I am reserving proper judgement for a few games. I still think we are in big trouble and we are 1 injury away from being an imbalanced team again.

Going into tomorrow, a tough game, but I still think it's winnable. Up the Foxes. We all want the same result.

Swallows and summers etc. There were promising signs against Villa and Spurs will be a better test of what difference the new signings will make longer term, and to consistency. Unfortunately, I'm never confident against them so that is admittedly and sadly colouring my outlook BUT we are capable on a good day, as we have seen. Yes we do all want the same result, and particularly against them for me!

In general it’s not been good, but some good European games last season tbf. I would be interested to see the 11 that’s played the most over the last 18 months tho, bet it’s not great at all.
