[BrilliantFox]

Mavididi looks a completely different player compared to under Maresca, whats going on with him?

Deserved to win that. 

We’d have taken this outcome when we conceded in the 3rd minute. 

[dmayne7]

A point that stops the rot. And even with the late goal, the players actually showed some fight and didn't look destroyed

[ozleicester]

game of two halves 

[Langston]

Can't think of that in any other way than 2 dropped.. We had to win that..

[chuck'em]

Loads better after Rowett spoke the players when VK was injured. Finally a manager talking to the players made them better, not worse. I'm delighted to see the players looking gutted at the end, finally looks like they actually give a shit.

[sdb]

Threw away 3 points against woeful opposition and it feels genuinely not bad.

 

How ****ing far we've fallen 

[JonnyBoy]

Excruciating not to win it at the end. But 2nd half and some really good positives to take forward. Boro a free hit then a must win v Norwich

On the positive if we can play like that more, we will eventually win. There is still some dross in this division. We need to find some way of being better at defending 

We just played the dross on super dross form. Looking like too little too late at this point, but fingers crossed. 🤞🍀🙏

[Dan]

That's a bad result. Sorry but it is. Everything I said about Stoke prematch was true - they're in dire form and in relative freefall themselves.

 

Would be unfair to not give credit for the second half but that's probably your second most winnable game of the 14 blown when it was totally winnable.

 

Only positives are Mukasa is good, and West Brom lost.

[Sunbury Fox]

Thomas masterclass, leaving their player totally unmarked for the equaliser and then missing an open goal to win it for us. 

[st albans fox]

Aribo looked clueless on the right 

never offered any width for the first fifteen mins he was on 

 

Didn’t defend the cross for their equaliser (in combo with Ricky) 

 

has he ever played wide right ?

He's an absolute disgrace this year. His end product/decision has genuinely been the worst I've ever seen

The defence will drag us down. No matter how much we score. 

A team with no defensive ability in midfield exposing a sub par defence. Never replaced Ndidi 

[oundlefox]

Mukasa gives me a glimmer of hope we can stay up.
 

He’s the potential to be some player

[woznotwos]

Maybe this will be a springboard for the team. Not the same old crap second half and frustrated but also encouraged. Cmon lads on to the next. 

[Trent Steel]

should of won that 2-1, their second goal was offside all the pundits agree, it was offside and should not have stood

robbed

[Vacamion]

 

We have goals in the team, but if we can't keep a clean sheet at some point, we'll get relegated.

 

 

[ozvaldo]

We really needed one of those chances to go in at the end. 
 

Good fight in the 2nd half.
But I still think we’ll go down. 

[Number 6]

First half was the team we've seen all season. Second half was much improved. I think adding James, Fatawu, and Lascelles into that team helps too, so need those back. Baby steps.

[woznotwos]

Is James back in March? Could be important. 

[murphy]

A win would have been massive, but I wonder if just breaking the losing streak will help get the players mentally get up off the floor. 

[MancFox24]

Mukasa is levels above anything we've got. Not sure how you fit him and James into the same team but there's a glimmer of hope there. Have to just play to outscore the opposition for the remainder of the season. I don't think anyone could sort that defence out

did you miss the first half by any chance

No, we were dreadful although Stoke weren't much better. 

 

Just pleased to see the team respond to a 2nd half team talk, and a tactical change impact the game. 

 

Been a long while since we've seen a Leicester side show that level of fight towards the end and actually go for the win.

Its a question of at which point my heart gives way

 

I genuinely wonder how much the last 15yrs have taken from my life

15 years is my best guess
