Seeing some of the negativity, it feels as if we were absolutely dominated yesterday, but the stats seem to paint a different story.
I've not seen the game, but it feels like one that could have gone either way but for a thunderb*stard, and a once-in-a-season lob from Leicester's own half.
What I'm seeing is the well-known issue that we're not clinical enough, but looking at the stats alone it doesn't seem as bad as the reaction suggests.
Or are the stats painting a different story to that which was observed? |  |

It was a drab lifeless error-filled performance from us. If Clarke had scored that chance first half maybe it would have been different and turned the home crowd. But hey, we won throw-ins 28-20! |  |

I was watching the match on the laptop and had final score on TV and was wondering if the BBC commentator was actually watching the match. He kept saying it was all Leicester when it wasn't. We had a lot of the ball, but just could not get fully on top. They scored 2 long shots and that was about it.
Their manager said it was the best they have played this season? Really? They were awful too. As I said elsewhere Fatatwu kept fouling Jaden and managed to avoid a booking. Naff match by 2 poor teams |  | | |

Both teams were crap. Clarke fluffed a brilliant chance to equalise for us and if that had gone in we may well have gone on to get a result but instead he fluffed it and they then scored a once in a blue moon goal before half time and it was game over. They scored three goals while only creating one decent chance all game (the third goal) which happens sometimes but we didn't help ourselves with a lack of creativity and poor finishing when we did create. |  |

It was a relatively even first half punctuated by two wonder goals which were completely out of character of what was a low quality half.
We conceded a crap third goal and then came to life a bit, I imagine most of our positive stats came in that 3-0/3-1 period. Neither team looked anywhere near promotion worthy based on yesterday, but I’d say that’s more of a worry for Leicester if that was their best on show. We had an off day and stunk the place out but maybe could have come away with a result on another day. |  | | |

Two poor teams. We'd gone back to our Oxford and Blackburn passing (ie missing the intended player) and slow predictable build-up. They scored their first when we gave their bloke far too much space to shoot, and their second was one of those things, but becoming much more common as keepers spend a lot of time on the halfway line.
A two goal deficit was too much for us, made worse when Leif tripped, was pushed or simply misread the situation to give away the third. It was up the other end, so not sure of the details.
We did start tp play better in the final 20 minutes, inspired I like to think by the great support from us visiting fans, but the final pass was either not good enough or our goal scorers were not in the right place. Why we didn't play like that from the start is bewildering.
Young had a couple of good chances to shoot, but chose to pass wide instead. Perhaps he thinks it's not his job to score? Macateer was good for his brief spell near the end.
The chances that we did create were woefully spurned by Clarke and Hirst and others I can't recall.
But it happens. It's not the end of the world. We need more consistent consistency. No blame attached to anyone. Football is a game of chances and mistakes so it's daft to complain when they happen. |  | | |

When you think about EVERY game where we've dropped points there are scenarios where everyone of them including the ones rated poorest performances could have gone our way if we were able to convert our chances mire consistently. I think teams have collectively realised we do overplayed on occasions and just wait for the enviable mistake and chance to break on us and punish us. We have to find a way to get the ball into those dangerous areas in the box quicker and solidify that back line so it gets recycled quicker.... imo we give opposition too many easy periods in the game and don't work them hard enough as we did in those glorious two years. Trouble is as you progress your standards the teams you play are also consistently more clued up. It's quite obvious are a fantastic period we are now finding our true place in the pyramid for now and need to work harder to improve our status. |  | | |

After beating the run away best team in the league and another top 6 team in the two previous games, was this a bad enough result to react as a lot did?
I guess it's par for the season as a whole. We've not truly been good enough or bad enough and so we are straddling thay reaction line of 'utter disgrace' and 'could still do well'. |  | | |

We concede two goals from 30 yards and 60 yards, at that point there was basically nothing in it. Davis slips for the third and it's too much to do from there. As pointed out, Clarke scores that equaliser and we probably go on to at least draw. |  |

I was there and indeed this was a even game. But some moronic fans of which there are more and more recently were booing at half time. Yes it was not brilliant but most days we go in at 0-0 there. In fact for the 1st goal I said to my son how our defensive shape was good.....I'm not sure BDR has ever scored from outside the area before.
But in saying that we have spent so much money in comparison for this league we have to be more clinical. I think we have created more big chances than anyone this season but also missed this biggest ration also. We need a Daryl Murphy type striker and we'd have a fair few more points. | | | |

There seems absolutely no middle ground this season.
Its almost impossible to judge a game from the reaction on here and all over social media as its so over the top. [Post edited 14 Dec 13:55]

I guess by the same standards you could say Stoke were well worth a point on Wednesday. But the reality is they couldn't find a way of responding to a really good strike, and nor could Town yesterday. If Stoke was a deserved 1-0 (and I'd say it was) then this was definitely a deserved 1-3. [Post edited 14 Dec 14:56]

Pretty even, but the two wonder strikes knocked the guts out of us too easily. Second half could have been different but for the slip and the third goal.
McKenna's 'Game of moments' is a perfect description really, fairly even overall, not great, same thing could easily have happened the other way round.
We just move on and forget about it. |  |

Really don't see how the two are comparable. Some twisted logic going on right there. | |

Exactly xg would say us winning 1-0 v stoke was a fair result. Xg would say Sat was 1-1 which seems closer than 3-1 I would say 2-1 to Leicester felt reflective which is you take out the ridiculous second it was. |  |

We were our own worst enemy yesterday. Simple passes going astray, terrible first touches, giving their midfield the freedom of the King Power. All three goals were sloppy. Drawn to the ball for the first leaving Decordova Reid in acres then not closing him down. Second originated from a misplaced infield pass from our right and less said about Walton's starting position the better. For the third, Leif needs to cut out his awful habit of looking for 'Premier League fouls' - slowing down and waiting for the contact which is disease of the modern game that needs to be cut out. He got away with one a few.minutes before and is the worst in our squad for trying to win these. Frustrating thing to see was how brittle Leicester's confidence was. After gifting us a goal when it looked like we could play all week without scoring they seemed there for the taking. If we'd had a bit more composure and grabbed a second with 10-15mins to go, genuinely think they could have folded. Anyway, up or down...onto the next. | | | |

I guess I'm just not as impressed by Xg. Taking chances is part of the game. And it's not like Azon hit the bar, he blazed way over. I mean is the Xg the same if it's Azon or Harry Kane?
And yesterday's second goal was not entirely 'out of the blue'. Superbly executed, of course, but Leicester will have talked about the possibility of such a chance presenting itself and he'd have had the manager's blessing and encouragement to 'go for it'. That's not particularly about Town, - most teams play this way, and all teams know that most teams play this way. Don't give the ball away just inside the opposition half if your goalkeeper is that far out. | | | |
