Blackie on radio howard ill got tonsillitis
Dreadful performance rescued by a goal completely and utterly out of keeping with everything that had gone before.
Last 20 minutes we played the pressure football that Blackie likes and which can overrun teams.
But the first 70 minutes showed exactly why we aren't a promotion team and must have investment.
The lack of quality was frightening.
As for Evans, he got out of jail on Saturday with his goal but tonight was an absolute shocker. The £3m tag must have been the only reason he wasn't taken off.
I agree aboout the dreadful performance. We are easily beaten by a team who pass the ball around. See first half. The reason we were not 3-0 down is because we have a good defence and they had a crap strike force.
Listen to the reports from Doncaster. A footballing side. If they had £5.6 million pounds worth of strikers like we have they would walk this league.

Just a little sidenote... What was Andy Taylor doing trying to be Zidane in his own box?!![]()
In the first half, I thought Leicester hit it long as much as us. In fact their main tactic all the game was to punt it in the air to N'Guessan.
Desperately trying to hide the fact that a professional footballer on several grand a week could not put his right foot through the ball to clear it! Embarassing!
Personally I thought some of their passing in the first half was excellent. Some good triangular balls and players running into space. They used the long ball but only as part of their tactical plan, not the entirety of it.
That said, I do wish teams would stop trying to con the referee. They were dirty, they wasted time, but most of all they went down like they'd been shot in fairly innocuous 50-50 balls. Shame really when they proved they can play.
Foxy if that wasn't dreadful football then god help us if we do have to sit through 90mins of dreadful football, shotguns at the ready me thinks..

We've sat through far far far worse just in recent memory. I'm not saying the first half was good by any stretch, but I don't understand the huge level of doom regarding tonight.
Spot on Yuley, it was some of the worst football at the Lane in recent times and that really is saying something.
Devoid of all pattern, invention, skill, passing, bite and everything else that goes into making a half decent football team.

Taylor looks like a division 3 player. We'd better hope our future opponents don't look at the video of tonights game
And in a nutshell we have half the problem down at the Lane.
Fans have become so inured to the shyte that passes for football that they no longer recognise how bad it is.

Aye, so you keep saying year upon year
There's a difference between proclaiming it was the worst game ever seen and merely thinking it wasn't good, but it wasn't as bad as some make out.
Besides, I thought you said they would batter us anyway? wasn't it a good draw in the circumstances?![]()
The odd thing is that anyone without red and white specs can see how poor and incredibly one dimensional we are.
For all the progressive culture off the pitch, the footballing culture remains forever stuck in a Bassett groove.
It's a shame because as a club we have so much to offer and yet continually sell ourselves short where it really matters.
Can I ask where the copy and paste was on Saturday? or did you have computer problems?
Games like this happen regularly in the championship. Teams will come and try and batter us, waste time and nick a goal.
We need to be better and break them down, but we have no devine right to simply cut through them at will, making sure we play it pretty.
When you take a step back, with no "glasses" and look at our start to the season, we could be realistically sitting on 9 points now. We aren't, we need to remedy that, but it's hardly scraping around smashing the ball forward and hoping for a bit of luck.
We had a poor first half, granted. During the second though, we played some good stuff and looked dangerous.
Leicester are not a team anyone will walk over this year. They are on a high from promotion and they have a decent squad.
