Our new players are not looking good today. We will have to hope that this is just that they need time to settle in. We look clueless against fast counter attacking. Our best bet is to keep attacking and hope we can score. March looks the best option. However Leicester counterattack so fast that we have to keep concentration all the time.

In this order, our hopes pre match
Defence stop gifting
Get in their half
Shot
Goal
Draw
Win

Under Poyet, a shot was often the pre match hope. Now we're in the PL I've scaled back and put 2 new 'entries' in my pre match hopes....see if you can spot them?! Remember, we WANTED ALL THIS! :)

Hopefully this is a reality check for everyone. We are a bottom 6 side on paper and in reality. Games against the top 10 are going to be difficult. Look at the fixture list and pick out where we are likely to get points, it isn't easy. That's just the reality of the 1st season in the Prem

Graham Poll reviewing incident on BT says we should definitely have had a penalty.

Ha ha, that old chestnut. I love it when we lose, as long as we outsing our opponents like we did City last week.

Silly old bat
Def shout for a pen from Murphy's shot, just seen the replay!

Graham Poll reviewing incident on BT says we should definitely have had a penalty.

Looking at the BBC text (there's a photo as well)

Looking at that Brighton penalty appeal again they have a case but it's not a strong one. Wes Morgan was falling to his right as Jamie Murphy's shot hit him. It was a mixture of chest and his right arm. Seen them given but not too often.

We've settled a bit now - and that should have been a penalty. Best chance Is probably through March. I'd also fancy Dunk to score from a set piece against this defence.
