Tom's Pasta Posted 22 March 2014 Share Posted 22 March 2014 Decent point although I didn't think Blackburn offered much apart from set pieces. Weren't at our fluid best but another point in the right direction. On to Tuesday! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LanguedocFox Posted 22 March 2014 Share Posted 22 March 2014 Looking on the bright side, Forest are out of the playoff places, and could go to 8th if Brighton win their game in hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sol thewall Bamba Posted 22 March 2014 Share Posted 22 March 2014 Good subs from Nige, steadied the ship at the right time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isaidno Posted 22 March 2014 Share Posted 22 March 2014 A draw was a fair result. We had the first half , they had the majority of the second. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les-TA-Jon Posted 22 March 2014 Share Posted 22 March 2014 Bit of a weird one really. Dominated the first half. But didn't take as many chances as we should and compound that by giving away a needless goal. They started so much better than us in the 2nd, and we didn't rise to their physicality or seem interested in trying to keep the ball. Despite they're domination in the 2nd, we still had the best chances to win it but couldn't get it in. Vardy and Nugent looked a bit tired. When was the last time they both did 90 minutes? Blackburn were still dangerous though. Countless half chances and corners, hit the post and Rhodes turn Wasyl and was then fouled? On the edge or in the box? Nothing given. Ah well. Draw away, 17 games unbeaten. 13 points out of 30 to get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peterborofox Posted 22 March 2014 Share Posted 22 March 2014 Certainly would have taken the draw around 60-70 mins we were getting bossed for the start of the second half, until i think subs changed it and got back into it. Although would have preferred Phillips/Wood/GTF on for Nugent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKCJ Posted 22 March 2014 Share Posted 22 March 2014 Play like we did in the first half and we can get a result at Burnley. Play like we did in the second and we'll get done i'm afraid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Guvnor Posted 22 March 2014 Share Posted 22 March 2014 Thought we played a lot better around the 70 min mark got hold of the ball with more composure. In fairness I thought Blackburn played well at a terrific tempo, draw not the end of the world, pity all the teams just below us won. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingfox Posted 22 March 2014 Share Posted 22 March 2014 I thought it would be a draw as well. Only downside that Burnley, Derby & QPR have won, two of which despite being quite far off, is still slightly annoying. And we could have easily won, if it wasn't for Vardy missing a sitter. 17 unbeaten & of course still top. Ok I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DennisNedry Posted 22 March 2014 Share Posted 22 March 2014 It's strange that a 1-1 draw away at a good Blackburn side has left my feeling quite disappointed. Derby and QPR are irrelevant, forget them. What worries me is pesky Burnley winning again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leicfox Posted 22 March 2014 Share Posted 22 March 2014 The subs steadied the ship while Blackburn were having their good spell at the start of the second half. Bit surprised Chris wood wasn't brought on, I thought we needed a bit more of a physical presence up front. I totally agree, Pearson got the 1st two subs spot on. I'd would've liked to see Phillips in the last ten minutes though instead of King. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whoareyaaa Posted 22 March 2014 Share Posted 22 March 2014 Its not a bad result we could have came away with all 3 points but a point away at Blackburn isn't that bad. They played fairly well second half we did have the chances but it just wasn't our day. 13 more points. 17 unbeaten. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnny the fox Posted 22 March 2014 Share Posted 22 March 2014 Blackburn played like a poor man's wimbledon , glad I don't watch them every week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lcfcsnow Posted 22 March 2014 Share Posted 22 March 2014 Can't grumble too much as we can't win every week but least it emphasises the need for more firepower next season, created enough chances to win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryn Posted 22 March 2014 Share Posted 22 March 2014 The subs steadied the ship while Blackburn were having their good spell at the start of the second half. Bit surprised Chris wood wasn't brought on, I thought we needed a bit more of a physical presence up front. Think Wood was the wrong call, would have encouraged more long balls which Blackburn were dealing with with complete authority when we did try them. As I said in the match thread, think we'd have seen Dyer today if he was available, need to get him fit. King was a good shout, didn't see much in today's game for GTF or Phillips and Wood through no fault of his own encourages that long play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitchandro Posted 22 March 2014 Share Posted 22 March 2014 Frustrating match. We should have walked all over them and blew it. We didn't take our chances and conceded a very silly goal. 2nd half performance was very poor, the worst I've seen us play bar Leeds away pretty much all season. De Laet was hopeless and rightly subbed. What is baffling though is how Hammond got on. I really cannot see a thing this man offers. He's probably the worst player in our squad at the moment. We've got Wood and Phillips sitting on the bench meantime. He really annoys me. I think a draw was a fair result but we've given them the point because frankly we know we're miles better than them and only have ourselves to blame for letting them back into it. Oh well, we should beat Yeovil at home and then hopefully we'll put more of a gap between us and Burnley next Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Japanfox Posted 22 March 2014 Share Posted 22 March 2014 fair result, could have nicked it in the end, but no complaints from me. Come on Leicester! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pazzerfox Posted 22 March 2014 Share Posted 22 March 2014 Stupid substitutions, should have easily won that game. We were getting overrun in midfield mate..They were having a lot of pressure and we could have conceded, making those changes eased it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finnaldo Posted 22 March 2014 Share Posted 22 March 2014 If Burnley was a big game its huge now. Still 90 minutes of football to play before that mate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tuna Posted 22 March 2014 Share Posted 22 March 2014 Game turned on a moronic mistake by De Laet. Would have had a different complexion had that not happened right before half time. Again, far, far too many missed chances we could have had 4 or 5 and conceding yet again due to a stupid error. We shouldn't be gifting teams goals and why are we so poor at defending set pieces. And why can't we do anything with them? Have we even scored from a set piece recently? Given the way the second half started, 1-1 has to be a decent result but we missed an opportunity here, especially with all of the rivals winning. Yeovil becomes a massive game, we must control and dominate. Need a Charlton/Ipswich like performance and watch Ishmael Miller, quality player, a handful and in form. Yeovil can score goals, are fighting for their lives and have nothing to lose. Nothing less than 3 points will do as I fancy us to struggle against Wigan, Burnley and Sheffield Wednesday, and after the Sheffield Wednesday game the table could begin to look very worrying.

Danno Posted 22 March 2014 Share Posted 22 March 2014 Made the right ones for me. We can't just win by divine right, they came out second half and were absolutely bulldozering us, we HAD to change the shape. Had to. Simple as that, they'd have broken us down otherwise. Really entertaining game and in the context of Rovers' second half performance and a bit of a horror show from RDL it's a useful point. Doesn't really derail us in the grand scheme of us. We still created the chances to win the game, didn't really get the rub of the green today. To Yeovil. I think we needed someone different up top, Vardy was getting into good positions with no one to pass too, and King offered nothing more than James would have.

veezeeblue Posted 22 March 2014 Share Posted 22 March 2014 Schlupp was great today, have to say thought he was our best player well deserved MOTM .... removed my lingering doubts, now derserves to stay at LB ... Vardy should of had a hatrick .. poor finishing, all in all good result ... going up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XLM Posted 22 March 2014 Share Posted 22 March 2014 Wasn't really our day so a point is decent against a Blackburn side who could have snatched it. We should do alright against Yeovil, and get momentum for the big game against Burnley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
