An OK point with Lee Mason around. Best we could hope for with that **** on VAR. Thought we did OK against the block, getting Mitoma, March and Lamptey free out wide. Mitoma created enough for the win.

Go on then who's going to say we don't need reinforcements for this team?

March is undroppable because there's nobody else to fill his role

Mitoma is class, we all know that now. But if he gets knackered, which he looked towards the end, or injured, then what?

A left-footed CB would be nice so you can actually play those passes out from the back a damn sight quicker/ into the channels better

Ali Mac needs to stay at #8 and a #10 is needed ideally with some idea of pace

Very relieved to get a point although we should really have had all three. Ferguson should have started IMO - looks the real deal.

Leicester played like the away side , trying to catch us on the break.

To slow in our build up

Mitoma MOTM

This is a good result.

Leicester a decent side in poor form. They wanted this, and showed us plenty of respect as they would any other top team, with solid defensive tactics. Credit to their performance.

Hard to say whether we deserved the win. Not giving a penalty for the Welbeck foul was a shocking decision. March's sitter would have been put away 99% of the time by 95% of players. Felt like it was going to be one of those days after that.

Mitoma's goal was incredible. But I'm actually more in awe with Ferguson's goal - WHAT a header - very rare to see an 18 year old score that kind of goal. Trying not to get too excited about this lad.

All in all - fair result, I'll take it. Another two great goals. Another point on the board.

As a side note - was listening with Glenn Murray on the commenary - Jesus F Christ is he annoying to listen to. A bubbly Northerner who won't stop talking rubbish is not what I want to hear during such a tight match.

In my mind it should have been a 3-2 win to the Albion. I don't know why suddenly Solly is screwing up his chances more often than not but he absolutely had an easy goal set up by Mitoma and fumbled it royally.

And of course that was easily a penalty that should have been awarded for Welbeck being taken down in the box.

Me. Reinforcements are good if they're good but no real need.

March is undroppable because he's f***ing excellent.

Then Sarmiento? But sure another very good winger wouldn't hurt.

Left-footed CB would indeed be nice, been the case for a few years... Webster has a good left foot though.

I like Murray but he was incredibly annoying as co-commentator.

Frustrating not to win that with 64% possession and Leicester only having 2 shots on target.

Denied all 3 points with a combination of a bad refereeing error not to give a penalty and some naive defending.

Still, we showed a lot of character to come back. And Ferguson's goal and progress are things to be rightly excited about.

Should've been better, could easily have been worse.
