We are just going round in circles

 

[Smurph]

Can't complain, beaten by two wonder strikes and a bit of misfortune in the box for their third.

You can definitely see the progress though. This fixture over the last few season would have been done and dusted by halftime if we were lucky.

 

[Swans Jack]

As I say with every lose or draw, we move on. Not lacking enough killer instinct. Leicester not an amazing team but know how to kill off games.

Cabungle classic into row Z

We need a proper El Capitan and a proper manager, prompto

Our game management since the equalizer pissed me off. Ball had gone out for a throw to us level with their box and then Ben stupidly reacted to a late challenge, ref booked him and brought it all the way back for a free kick just outside our box

After that we failed to string five passes together in any meaningful part of the pitch

Frankie said it best

That's life (That's life), that's what all the people say
You're riding high in April, shot down in May
But I know I'm gonna change that tune
When I'm back on top, back on top in June...

If anything it should have been a free kick for us. Their player followed through on Ben as he cleared the ball.

Agreed. 2 wonder goals. You can see the difference in a team who knows how to grind out a result in Leicester with experience in Premier league, but we show signs of progression. We are not there yet, it will take time, but let's see the over reaction now from others lol. Next match few matches will be tough after international break but its a season to grow.

I respect your opinion but I think they are a very good team that will go back up and our manager said the same thing.

Two tribes huh

Two tribes huh

I was thinking more Sinatra but maybe they covered it too...

 

[JackFish]

9 games played, 3 wins, 3 draws, 3 defeats. Exactly the same record we had this time last season. Our squad definitely has more depth than we did this time last year but not convinced we're good enough to challenge for the top 6.

 

[Pegojack]

Been at a wedding out in the sticks with no internet so couldn't watch the match. Sounds from the match thread like we put up a fight but were slightly outclassed, as I feared. At least Idah got off the mark.

 

[FearOfAJackPlanet]

I actually don't feel down after that. There was a lot to like in that performance, and plenty to work on of course (being in possession of the ball on the edge of the oppo box and the ball ending up back with a centre-half being one of them..)

We've got a decent squad, ambitious owners and some hope for the future. Marathon not a sprint etc.

Pretty much sums it up
