Buckley? No idea, but he's only 21 and has been brilliant since coming back from injury. I am sure he will have a dip in form at some point. We have three young wingers, Buckley, Noone and Lua lua. All three have great futures ahead of them

Similar? Yes except that you're better at passing than us. We're still learning our trade at this level and Gus is determined that we establish ourselves as a patient passing side.

Possibly the worst attempt at trolling seen so far this season. Gus wants nothing of the sort. He wants a top 6 place (your stadium didn't pay for itself, any more than ours did) and is hell-bent on doing whatever it takes to get one.

After the Oscar-seeking antics from Dunk which saw Beckford dismissed, you thought you'd make the extra man count. But when it failed to so, you kicked anything that moved. Is it any wonder Mattock feels so welcome at your place?

Sparrow was sent off for a reckless studs-up challenge. There may have been doubt about whether it was worth a red, but there should have been none about Bridcutt's hack on Delfouneso. How did Bridcutt earn a man of the match award? Is there a serious drugs problem in your hospitality suites?

Ultimately Poyet will feel the job has been done, But his cynical and nasty means of achieving the result leaves a particularly bitter taste. We're not the first away fans to leave the Amex raging at match officials' ineptitude and cowardice and we probably won't be the last.

PS If Mills was looking a little more ungainly than usual yesterday, that's because he found moving difficult with Craig Mackail-Smith in his pocket. Think that's another bullet we dodged last summer.

The stadium isn't very well designed. Toilets right outside the exit from the seats at the concourse? And the gangways to get from the seats to the concourse are about a metre wide.

Ground in the middle of farm land. Joke.

Wouldn't mind it being there, its just the fact the transport links are piss poor.

Park and fvcking ride. Glad I don't have to deal with that every two weeks.

Not a fan of the ground looks great but souless and horrible location. Inagine its dead for clubs who don't fill the away end.

Comfy seats were a half time treat, so much so the ladies behind us didn't want to leave them again which was unfortunate for them after trying to seat people. Apparently its got "worse and worse the last few seasons with away fans standing", funny.

No I am not trying to troll at all. We play a passing game. You are better than us at that.

Dunk may have gone down easily, but there were no histrionics and he made no attempt to get your man sent off.

Sparrows was a red IMO, and we both have a different view on Bridcutts. I don't think he was MOM either.

Cynical and nasty? Greer and Calderon deserved there yellows. But nasty? Malicious? No.

I was trying to be reasonable with my comments, but you're clearly a bit upset at the result and the ref. Which is understandable.

Good luck for the rest of the season.

Should have done the sensible thing and got the train !

Funny how away teams are judging the standard of the stands the number of seats in them. On that basis are the corporate boxes are Vauxhall Conference ?

.. and how away stands the championship have padded seats ?

I got the train and missed ten minutes of the game.

Why on earth did the referee play on in the first half for a reckless, high stamp on Drinkwater's chest.

That was about the same time the referee turned into a complete plank.

Don't suppose you were to the right of the away end, second back row and some tall-ish old woman was sat behind you moaning?

Could see them from where I was, it's the same at all aways, embarrassing.

Yeah thanks for that. Were decent at half time.

Hate to sound like a complete div but I was at work for the whole match. How come people are saying we ended up with 8 men? Two sent off means down to 9, was someone forced off injured? Can't find the info despite looking...

Nope just to left of goal, about 10 rows up,

Not sure what they expect to be honest been the same for a year now, unless the away end is less than 70% full, which is rare.

Delfouneso went off injured :thumbup:

Here we go again, always blaming the referee. Bloody pathetic morons!

Yeah, his ineptitude didn't affect the outcome of game at all... Moron.

Having watched he highlights a few times now I have no idea why people are blaming Peltier for the goal. There was a Brighton player unmarked in the centre, he HAD to go across, that's what the fullback is supposed to do in such a situation. The goal happened because

A) Danns didn't pick Vicente up, he just let him run past.

B) Morgan had been pulled out of position for some reason, unclear why from the clip, but was out of position.

C) Other midfielders, such as Drinkwater, did not track back. This has been happening all season, the midfielders do not help the defence out and we are left outnumbered all the while. This is why we need a proper holding midfielder, but also, midfielders should be tracking back regardless.

I know we were down to 9 men at the time but it's not good enough for us not to track back. If we are struggling then don't throw so many men forward.

The midfield in general is still very unbalanced for me, we started with a central midfielder on the wing, we haven't got a midfielder to specifically protect the back four and we haven't got a midfielder to specifically unlock defences in an attacking/creative role. Danns and Wellens are not good enough IMO, neither is King, neither is Dyer.

why was the lines man so late flagging! was it due to Beckford going to him to have a little chat ? the camera shot did not show it but watching live at that corner as we did we all know that brought it about

there were other cameras around that corner in the first half not sure what happened to it later on

I was thinking Peltier might have been at fault at first but Danns lets a man run off him and then makes a half-arsed late attempt to track him. Consequently everyone gets pulled out of position, Peltier has to track his man into the centre and Buckley's alone at the far post in acres.

It is always interesting to read the away fans views on things but the disappointment of losing has diminished some Leicester fans powers of honest report.

It was an ordinary game, played out with plenty of endeavor but lacking any real adventure from either side. If you think you were robbed then your use of the English language is different than mine because it was a game that could have gone either way and if you had had the confidence to really attack us then maybe you might have got something from the game. Such quality up front with Beckford and Nugent but so little service for them.

I will agree the atmostphere was a little flat yesterday but if you really think that you completely outsung the home fans then again I can only shake my head in disbelief. I sit on the half way line and heard the attempts at the Palace song a couple of times and the stick you gave our new boy but you really were slightly louder than Newcastle but way down in the list of noisiest fans that have visited the Amex. Plenty of homophobic abuse though to many Brighton fans so that was pretty consistent with anyone who comes from North of Watford. On our website Northstandchat we always laugh at the opinions of our stadium. If you win or draw you think it is different but has appeal but if you lose it is a souless, out of town pit.

Oh well see you next season big spenders.

First I've heard of that. Few idiots around us trying it maybe 10 of them at most, but certainly didn't hear anything else being spouted from the away end.

Thought the atmosphere is our end was very average.

Thought we deserved something out of the game, maybe a point being fair.

However the linesman with his Brighton shirt on thought otherwise. Clown.

And the fact that the Brighton player got the ball shouldn't matter, as the follow through has seen red cards given before even when the ball was played.
