There’s some decent trolling going round to be fair on some EFL fan pages

Yet its a team 2nd in the 6 and 10 form guide and one that also beat Ipswich a few days later.  All the evidence suggests they aren't turning up to games and rolling over. 

 

It was just one of those (currently rare) days where the tactics did their job.

I don't know if you watched both games but Norwich clearly had a stretched squad and opted to put their full efforts into the Ipswich game. Their pressing and desire to win 50/50s in their Derby game was absolutely manic from the first whistle to the last. 

 

Absolute chalk and cheese in terms of application to both games. They did us a massive favour doing it that way.

We looked vulnerable at set pieces again, how could they create so much space?

Yeah but come on, you do know that Leicester can’t actually play well without some “fans” being negative and trying to bring the mood back down.

To be fair, I think this is more apt…

I did wonder/fear how much the last two results were down to the fans creating an atmosphere where the players were afraid to play slowly or negatively. There was a good intent about us in both matches.

 

Last night was back to our worst. Slow, predictable, one dimensional, soft and unambitious.

Personally think our slow, laboured performance was due to fatigue, players being too static off the ball and Millwall going man to man.

Regarding fatigue, this should have been addressed by making more changes to the starting line up. 
 

Players offered no movement when Vestergaard / Faes / Mads were passing it around. Was frustrating to watch and I actually felt sorry for those three as they had no options. Faes definitely isn’t good enough but his bursting runs actually offer momentum. Just a shame he’s such a liability. 
 

Millwall going man to man - they defended narrowly but we still tried to play through the middle. It’s no coincidence that our best chances came when our wingers attacked their fullbacks. Mav cut inside far too much too.

Woke up very pissed off. Probably more so than any game since Fulham last year

Unforgivable lack of attacking intent and urgency.

 

Cocksure and complacent.

 

If Faes and Vestergaard start together for the remainder of the season we don't go up.

 

The less said about Enzo's in game management the better.

You can't say anything about Enzos in game management, because there isn't any. 

 

Makes Fraud Puel look like a genius with his in game changes.

I honestly would love to ask Enzo what our 1st half tactics are this season,  especially away from home.

The Boro , Bristol and Millwall are prime examples of doing nothing , letting them get a foothold in the game, score a good goal themselves and easily see out the remaining minutes.

 

This club, management and players are doing my head in atm.

[Lutterworth Fox]

It's pretty obvious to me that nobody on the pitch wants to take responsibility for anything. Every pass seems like the passer is saying go on you do something with it, no you do something with it, no you do something with it, no you do something with it, no you do something with it etc, etc, etc, etc.

[MaidstoneFox]

Not excusing our tepid display, but some credit needs to be given to Millwall and the way they set up and their commitment. They gave us very little space in midfield and never stopped running. They were fighting for survival and pride. We can expect very similar at Plymouth on Friday. Most teams have raised their game against us this season

Worst manager in our history strikes again 

Was Dennis Wise at the game?

Does anyone know who the minute applause was for before the game.. I was going to say silence but it was far from that..
