One of those freak games 16:50 - Dec 13 with 1071 viewsbournemouthblue

where everything seems to go wrong

The first half away at Preston in the promotion season comes to mind

Don"t get me wrong, we were really poor in the first half but they score two worldies having offered very little

The third goal comes from some shambolic defending from Davis

Exactly a clueless display from players and manager.

Just football. We are always going to lose games of football.

Sometimes a couple of bangers go in.

We need to go an blow Sheffield Wednesday away now ideally and back it up at Millwall and make sure we come out of this block with a good return. Coventry draw or win would be icing on top!

It's not a freak game ... please stop using this excuse.

Once again we have given the ball away in terrible places. Once again we have spurned good chances, once again we have failed to hit the target (13 shots, two on target).

This is not a freak game. It's the exact type of performance and result we are currently seeing just about every 5 games.

Thought we were really poor. Leicester also poor, probably less good than Oxford and Blackburn to be honest, but too many players were miles off it today. Clarke was dreadful, Hirst may as well have not been on the pitch, he offered nothing at all. So many others way off it as well. We can't keep throwing in performances THAT bad if we want to have any chance of going up.

Do you really think so? They were sharper and moved the ball a lot quicker imo. Smarter when it came to managing the game through fouls. Had the quality when it mattered. We were well beat imo. A bit of a reality check.

This.

For the first time in years, I was genuinely farcking angry watching town in that first half.

Some of those lads should be walking home after that first half.

Personally didn’t think we did a lot wrong.

Lacking a bit of cutting edge, missed Walle for balance today.

I don’t care what anyone says, that was never going to be an easy game.

Felt like a freak to me xg says 1-1 pretty much, belter from a lucky bounce, goal from well inside own half, and a foul/slip with Leif

Didn’t do a lot wrong?

Outside of symbolic defending. Lackluster passing, taking about 50000 touches in the box before getting a shot off and falling over without being touched, we were great.

No, this was a different kind of loss to those

Oxford was self-inflicted, Wrexham defended well. Charlton was very poor.

Go a goal down and we're nearly always done with this squad. Leaders??

In fairness we have scored more than 10 long shots this season and thus we have given a couple back today. It was mostly a nothing first half apart from that. Go on at 0-0 and its a solid half.

We were the better team last 20 minutes. They were massively hanging on. We go again.

I personally think we need to quick, fit and strong central midfielders to keep us competitive. And I am sure we can get them. They don't need to be world beaters.

Hackney would have been the answer this season unfortunately and we did go up for him, shame.

Taylor is overrated by a lot of our fans. Not getting a proven goal scorer at this level with the funds we had available is look inexcusable though.

Freak second goal but a normal performance from us away from home regrettably.
Often our opponents make heavy weather of it too though, whereas this time Leicester's PL lite quality shone through in individual moments.

I liked that midfield that started, but none of them have the ability to really grab a game and drive like Morsy did.

I believe Cajuste can do it, but he needs a bit of a kick up the arse sometimes.

It was a bit of a freak (including the third which was NOT shambolic from Davis - he slipped) and it's not too bad, but we look devoid of fight and energy at times. The 2023-24 side would have been fired up at 2-0 down.

We're still up and down a bit, we need to find a bit of urgency up front and a bit of swagger.

Not a freak game, just a poor performance. I think the only genuine freak game was Charlton at home. The others are useless being poor or inconsistent.

I'm not in any denial it was a poor performance but I think 3 is very flattering for Leicester today

They actually finished with a lower xG than us

Nope, Middlesbrough was a deserved loss

Oxford was self-inflicted

Charlton was a horror show

Preston early on in the season probably was going to be a tricky one at the time.

Today the opposition have scored two absolute worldies, they weren't very good asides that, they finished with a lower xG than us
