Straight from BBC Sport page, live updates... 

 

Juppster: Leicester should have been down to nine. Two yellows for Mavididi and a straight red for Fatawu. This is the least Birmingham deserve.

VAR would've also looked at the studs up challenge in the 9th minute in our area on FATAWU from their lad and also had kdh onside in the 48th minute .. swings n roundabouts

They preferred Simms to him, and Simms can’t even play football. 
 

Im surprised we’ve signed him, you at least like to see a bit of pace, a decent first touch, or some creative runs or something, tonight, he would have been more useful as a traffic cone…….

Simms had been out on loan the first half of last season and done well at Sunderland whilst Cannon had only been in their youth team the first half of the season

 

It makes sense as to why they chose to go with Simms over him as an option in the 2nd half of the season

We really made that much more stressful than what was necessary. However, some of the football going forward was scintillating. I just hope we can cut the sloppiness out.

Sky’s punditry post match has been very very good. Actual tactical discussion !

Jobi McAnuff is so good, their EFL coverage in general is spot on, it’s just let down by co-comms 90% of the time.

There is no VAR, so shut the foook up and live the rules.

There were plenty saying that about another of our strikers when he first started for us. So I won't make any hasty judgements.  He hasn't had very long.

If you’re referring to who I think you are, he was showing plenty of signs that he had something, it just needed work….. Cannon just appears to not look all that arsed but doesn’t at first glance appear to have any outstanding qualities either.

It was 5-star until Mavididi’s substitution…

Fair

[JimmyC74]

Another 3 points - job done and we march on.

 

Clearly some work needed on the defence but, what Enzo has done to turnaround our mentality is unreal.

 

Hail hail 🙌🙌

Deeney was good, he is quite intelligent sober, and said we were better and deserved it.

Calm down .. I was speaking in our favour.

[Royston.]

Enzo you're all heart.

 

Winning games but giving the losers reasons to feel good about themselves.

 

[Claudio Fannieri]

KDH was absolutely sublime today, that was a Rolls Royce performance and no coincidence we lost control of the game once he moved over to the left wing. His passing, decision making and quality has improved 10 fold, just shows the value of great coaching & management 

[KFS]

Anyone got the goals?

I know dude it was related to the topic amd guy before, i was bring lazy

To all those who may be moaning,

 

If we are asking the team to be a bit more dynamic and fluid in attack, that will come as a compromise in defensive set up.

 

We are a Championship team, not Man City, we cannot be everything, everywhere, all at the same time. 
 

Have to pick your poison.

[foxes_rule1978]

How many points have Leeds gained on us since they beat us?

Since both of those (first choice strikers) haven't played we have been more attacking more direct, yes it doesn't always pay off and we miss a few chances but we are better without them but since neither of them have played we have scored 10 goals in 3 games.

 

 

So what don't you think so?

My response was  the  reference to a god!

I'll keep my fingers crossed. Like I say, he hasn't had long, but I agree on current evidence... in no way am I expecting him to turn into a goat.  Just think it is a bit early to judge too harshly. I haven't seen any of him elsewhere.

Tonight, is more like what we want, better finishing and we are out of sight… they got into it through a hammy goal because we fell asleep… but after that I don’t remember them create a chance

Yea was an odd decision.. . Made one sub that somehow meant 3 on field changes.

 

Obviously saw the opportunity to try riccy in the 8 but didn't work effectively
