I think it evened itself out in terms of the ref, but he shouldn't be making mistakes like that really. Ball to hand not hand to ball Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This week equaliser hand balled to set up the strike before being deflected into the goal. How much more luck do you want? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I noticed that. "He is the captain". Interesting. Might just be a slip of the tongue. He's captain at the moment, maybe he just meant that?

I don't see why everybody is so up in arms about it. It was a 95 minute game of football. Who's up in arms? I just thought it was a bit odd. Ok so I guess he settled for the draw.

You're not up in arms, but plenty of people appear to be. He settle for the draw in that situation as it was the best outcome for us given Leicester had the ball and we wouldn't have had time for another attack. I'd settle for the draw too at that stage.

Remi has earned respect and trust from me. It's taken him a long time to turn the ship, it's most likely too late, but he has clearly done that in my opinion. So free reign... Until we lose again! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep I'd agree. And even though I think lescott hasn't had a great season, and made a mistake today, overall I think he's been much better the past couple of games. And our defence looks clearly better with him and Okore at centreback as opposed to Richards and a.n. other Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally. I thought it was good in-game management. Something I personally think he's been good at since day one. He's found his team now too which is a bonus. If we carry on like this, go down as we likely will, I hope he stays long term. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Pangloss Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 It was a good response to an awful first half. What worries me is how physically weak this team is, to say they're lightweight is an understatement, got bullied big time in the first 45, Leicester looked much fitter and stronger on the ball than us. We really need to bring some stronger players in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharkyvilla Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 I was wondering whether it was worth a punt sticking Richards on up front to replace Kozak for the last 10 minutes. We were clearly banging it long and Richards has excellent pace too, there was the odd break where we could have done with someone a bit quicker, whilst retaining the aerial threat. Maybe I'm just a bit nuts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jareth Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 Worth also bearing in mind that he hasn't yet brought in one single player of his choosing. Our remaining fixtures are very tough so for that reason I don't think he'll keep us up, but I am intrigued to think what the squad will look like after the summer transfer window.

Farlz Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 He got it spot on again today for me, wasn't sure Gestede coming on was a great idea but tbf it worked. Maybe the great escape is a little out of reach but at least we've started to pick up points. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supermon Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 Wasn't sure where to put this but thr fluck can't any of our players cross a ball, some can't lift the ball to save their lives, others can't beat the first man. Im pretty confident I could pin a ball to someone's head and find my target better than some of our crop. For too long we just don't have a crosser of the ball except for Amavi 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyp102 Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 Not really about garde, but more about style of play (we don't really have a thread re this). For years we have been atrocious at movement off the ball and it is still evident now. The lack of width is also shocking. As soon as Leicester won the ball, albrighton and Mahrez would sprint out wide, virtually having their boots on the white paint, this gave them a lot more space down the middle of the pitch. When we get the ball, we are too narrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ROTTERDAM1982 Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 To be fair,for a team that has won one league game prior to tuesday, and after all the goings on at Wycombe, i think we have showed a lot of balls the last 2 games.Nobody is hiding, quite willing to receive the ball in tight spaces, showing plenty of fight.I think Gardes approach, quiet dignity, with a touch of ruthlessness when necessary, is slowly paying dividends. I'm quite confident he will be a good manager for us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
