Two errors again and points thrown away again. So disheartening
Thought we went out game when Amos went off as he was controlling the midfield.
Ball today looked like the player we thought we were getting. Worst game he’s had for us
What can we do to sort the goals conceded out

Cameron is a liability at CB, but that`s just one issue...

Time to make some decisions. Shame to slip backwards after all the progress that has been made.

Cameron is a liability at CB, but that`s just one issue... He's being played out of position in backline that don't really do the basics, hard to blame him really. We all know exactly what the big problem is, but there is a reluctance to grasp the nettle. It's MW's call. |

Don’t blame CB myself today two errors Manning and Wells. As said last week do first job right and then there is no need worry.
We make too many mistakes and we’re punished everytime
Time for bit of percentage football and if in doubt just put it out or clear lines. Pretty it’s not but it’s effective

Play four at the back. And Wallace LB. Enough is enough. And never play one up. Hugill and Wells the two up every time.

Pretty it’s not but it’s effective we can`t defend as a team In one - thats exactly what I've been banging on about for years, literally. Its not just the backline, its the cover. Its BASIC stuff. I think when you have such limited defenders and absolutely no detectable defence coaching, you play a 4 like 77 said. But you still have to do the basics. Anyone got Lee Dixon's number? He know the drills. |

B Ok, so he was the one. Interesting. |

Four at the back is what we need - unfashionable perhaps, but it's not doing Leicester much harm is it? With those players a back 3 was asking for trouble. We really miss Leistner as well. There's no point in denying it, MW seems to have a blind spot defensively. |

It seems like he pushed Eze & Amos a bit deeper to try to stem the flow of goals against and all it did was to nullify any positives that Eze brings to the game. The late run he made showed where his value to the side is and he will only win penalties and potentially dangerous free kicks in the opposition 18 yard box. Taking Chair and Amos off was a mistake IMO, especially Chair who was finding space well and causing 'boro problems. Still not convinced by Hugill as a fininsher, he did all the hard work for the header at the end and missed the target completely.

I thought ball played well as well. The problem we had from the start was how slow everything was. We weren't sprinting in behind and we were happy to knock it backwards. Manning made a few runs and Kane was trying but the tempo wasn't there. When it picked up, we looked good again but when we lose that we aren't very good.
I am beggining to think that the crowd really do not help our team. Around me people were shouting at anyone and everyone about what they were doing wrong. Groans when we keep the ball, groans when a harder pass gets misplaced. We don't exactly give a passing team confidence to go and pass it so it isn't that surprising they play it safe and go backwards.

Manning put one amazing ball in second half which was begging someone to put a foot on it. Was hoping he was going take freekick at end but Eze took it and wasted it

You need to play to your strengths and playing it out and across the back with midfield coming deep to go backwards until we panic or get caught is not our strong point. Eze made one great run and got a free kick on edge of box, he made two at Hull and got two pens. Attack is our best defence at the moment and where has the high press gone that worked so well at Stoke for example?

Posession doesn't mean much these days. It's how you use it. Sometimes feels like MW hasn't really grasped this essential detail..... |
