Still have some issues with breaking the final third and bad crosses. Amavi is deeply missed on the left. Ideally had someone else on the right as it's usually not good enough. Good performance all in all but too little when it comes to the big picture. I hear the whole castle is for sale. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S-Platt Posted January 16, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted January 16, 2016 Some fight in the boys at last but still very little quality. Watched it on the box and I have to ask why was Vardy not flagged for offside from the goal kick for their goal? Is that a rule not offside from a goal kick? Looked at least 3 yards off. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingman Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 Would of ripped your hands off for 4 points in week after the Wycombe game so its a good start. Away, Thank **** for Samuel Adams!.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post useless Posted January 16, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted January 16, 2016 A point isn't useless at all. We're not going to just magically all of a sudden win every single game. It's a good sign that we're getting results now. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garde was fine today for me, woke them up at half time and they looked lost before that. If we show the kind of commitment we have now showed for 135 mins of the last 180 then we will at least go down fighting. which to be fair is all we asked for when Garde came in. Best game for Gana for me, he was immense in the second half, westwood showing some good touches too. 4 points from 2 games! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanky Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 Gana did the work of three men in the middle. The less said about the other two the better, major problem for me. First half we were a disgrace, second half we were much the better side. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Demitri_C Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 I think we need someone that can pass the ball and get the ball forward quickly along with a striker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
briny_ear Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 Fought hard in the second half but lack of quality up front was the problem. I know I'm swimming against the tide but I think Gestede could be our saving. Just need to set up the team to get decent chances to him. Also I would stick with Bunn in goal. His penalty save kept us in the game today. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pacbuddies Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 We have just taken 4 points off 2 teams with extremely good away records (Leicester just got a cup draw and a league win at spuds remember). We are bottom of the league and underdogs in every game at the moment so we are not doing too bad. Maybe we will go down and maybe we won't but as long as we battle to the end I will be happy. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daholteend Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 In the space of 5 days we have gained 4 points, a third of our season's total. We have to take this and keep pressing for more. Good to see Kozak and Gestede on together. This combination has potential for more goals than we have seen so far.. Still lack a cutting edge from midfield needed to provide strikers service and unlock defences like Leicester's. Garde has been trying a few things and the team will only play better as their confidence builds. Physical players like Huth show us that we are lightweight in our midfield and wherever we are playing next season we need some physical aggression because there is no doubt that to survive teams need a measure of skill backed up with some beef to avoid being hustled off the ball. Okore and Bunn were solid at the back. Okazaki's goal highlighted the kind of errors that we have to eliminate to avoid gifting goals to fast predatory teams. Bunn's penalty save was a just reward for a doubtful PK in the first place. All is not lost. We managed 4 points from teams in the Top 8 of the table all in one week. A long way to go but not an impossibility on this week's performance. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KHV Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 I thought we should have won. More chances more possession and we should have had a penalty too. Robbed 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delphinho123 Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 Veretout and Westwood offer nothing. Okore, Gana and Ayew did well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjw63 Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 Shit first half, much improved second. Once again I find myself ranting at the inept referee...he was **** abysmal. If Cissokho's "handball" was a penalty (it shouldn't have been) then why wasn't the handball by their player later on also a penalty? Why wasn't Huth sent off? Why didn't we get a penalty for Kozak getting smacked in the head? The person who votes the referee "very good" on here every week, and he's usually the only one, is a bit of a plank. Impressed with Bunn, Cissokho and Ayew, and Gestede when he came on. Kozak is also a better target man even if he doesn't score. Quite liked Leicester doing well before today, but that word removed Vardy can **** right off and die for all I care, what a piece of shit. Huth can go swimming in lead boots with him too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
