So at one end March has the chance to cross ends up back at Dunk. Then look at their second. Great game for our goal difference! Think we’ve played ok tbf. Burn having a nightmare - managed to play Vardy on. He can only run in straight lines.

Exactly this. We are slow of thought. Ping that ball in. There actually isn't a huge difference between the teams this evening other than the speed and quality of finishing.

We haven't had an answer to Leicester for years.

Yes we have, they just need to go on a 4 day bender in the run up to the game.

Time to get on the phone to smug Eddie.

 

[Goberpiles]

Woeful display, no words if other teams start getting points we are in real trouble.

Where's that i left at half time thread versus Leicester.

 

[raymondo]

As pathetic as we've been, again it comes down to that missed chance from Welbeck. If that's scored then it's a different story, Leicester were always going to show their quality as the half wore on.

Although I'd like to think that being pasted will help people see that the problems in the team are far more than 'luck'.

Burn is totally out of his depth here, and the attacking other than the Welbeck chance has been embarrassing. We know Ryan can't be relied on to get us out of the ****, and he should've saved the first one, but even disregarding that, that was well below par from us. Major talk and changes needed from Potter here.

Well said

You can see the logic in bringing Burn in against a team like Burnley that just boot it long, but what the **** was Potter thinking playing him at LB today?

 

[Kosh]

Let’s remember Leicester put 9 passed Southampton at St Mary’s when they were rooted in the bottom 3 with a poor record. They stuck at it because they’d seen enough good signs.

I know - but, I don’t think they’re playing that well ... I really don’t. I say again, we’re out of our depth - increasingly and with unerring regularity. It’s not good, nor promising it’s simply poor, very poor.

He’s losing the players Bold, he is... he’s finished if he can’t turn it round and I’m not so sure he’s as tough or as savvy as he needs to be.

 

[Raleigh Chopper]

We must have done well in that first half, all I have heard is that its all Brighton.

 

[vagabond]

Some very angry fans today. I’m there too, this has been awful. Let’s offer some balance though for our own sanity.

Still haven’t been in the bottom 3 this season. Or ever under Potter.

Playing stats are excellent. We’ve transitioned form a side playing very poor football to genuinely good football. Next step is converting chances and results.

We are playing an excellent Leicester side who are 1 point off 1st with a win. No shame in losing away to them.

Correct and well said.

Unfortunately some have short term vision. As bad as we’re playing tonight I still think we’ll be safe.

 

[Jimmy Grimble]

We are terrible at pivotal points in a game.

Welbeck’s chance changes the game.

Ryan saves it the first game doesn’t change.

That said, Dan Burn has been exposed massively. Tactics all wrong down that side.

 

[lizard]

I think we all knew we were walking into a hiding when we saw the team sheet tonight. Clown shoes Potter, utter clown shoes.

 

[Ethelwulf]

I absolutely believe we have a better squad now than in out first 2 seasons in the Prem. The problem is obvious, an overhyped manager who has no track record at this level

Nail On Head

Time to get on the phone to smug Eddie.

I would

 

[Luke93]

The “playing pretty football but no results” argument is an interesting one. There’s no guarantee playing more negatively will help. Last 6 months under Hughton were abysmal. Playing like that this season we’ll be down there on points with WBA or Sheffield United. As an armchair fan I have no clue what’s best for this squad to get those results But it’s not working today.

 

[Driver8]

I think he'd have easily saved the first without the deflection.
He probably still should have done better, it wasn't a wrongfooter a la earlier in the season.

No chance with the other 2.

The deflection actually put it closer to him.

 

[oldboyroy]

Unless this ends 6-0, Potter has one game left to save his job.....WIN at Fulham.

Embarrassing.

Very much doubt it but the pressure will certainly be building.....Fulham ain't no pushover either but, we really need to get 3 points against Sheffield United
