Eom's been one of our better players in that half. Frankly bonkers to claim otherwise.
Stamenic is the problem. He's no playmaker yet we're using him as one. Some Leicester players haven't passed the ball into our half as often as he has.
Stamenic and Cullen should have been the first to be replaced, Stamenic was static in the first half not moving to make himself available for the ball and when he did have the ball he mostly played it backwards ,he did much the same 2nd half too but stayed on all game ??,Cullen isn’t a midfielder and should never have started in that position, he’s a nice lad but be honest,he wouldn’t be in the starting lineup in any other championship side Galbraith and Yalcouye are far more dynamic and would have made a huge difference in the middle . VIP should have stayed on and if Sheehan wanted Idah on he should have gone with 2 up front The first two Leicester goals were great finishes to be fair ,I think it would be a bit harsh to blame our defenders too much ,yes I suppose they could have closed the Leicester players down better and put more pressure on them but they were good goals,the third one was just an unlucky ricochet and summed up a frustrating day for us Leicester certainly didn’t look better than us and the result definitely flattered them Never mind ,we go again COYS

It’s all about opinions, I’ll say that first but I think Leicester were far better than us and the result didn’t flatter them in the slightest.
They closed us down well, passed accurately between themselves, took on and beat players who were left standing. Just better all round and sometimes you just have to accept that.

Eom was our best player the 1st half, which shows how pitiful the rest of the team were. Ronald & Key still haven't figured out how to play with each other. How many games does it take to figure out that one of them, or both of them, should take a seat on the bench. Cullen was a non-factor and should have been replaced at half-time. Burgess was a liability today. Cabango wasn't much better. All players need to improve their passing.
Best is subjective and you can’t prove he was Bonnets to think he was the best Who was ? Nobody stood out
Today again Sheehan got it wrong Galbraith is young fit and healthy and is dynamic when he came on he made an immediate difference leading to a penalty whereupon the pub player stroked it home beautifully Stamenic looked tired and lethargic I won’t nention our full backs defending now as its tedious and leads to discord amongst us
We are not learning , clearly
We can be far more dynamic and purposeful
We have enough midfield options so no need to ever Cullen
These are opinions and no person or animal was injured in making them
As for Leicester , a good team of quality but I have a blind spot for their fans and stinking city
They might get hammered by points deduction and hopefully they will
It was a game we got back into. We made the game messy their passing became panicked and we capitalised, getting into dangerous areas of the pitch quicker and caused them issues. How did that change basically we didn't mark the middle of the pitch properly in the first half, our closing down press was haphazard and allowed their inside forwards channels to exploit unmarked, our fullbacks really need to know how to get in between the winger and the ball getting a foot in making the ability to create space for others impossible not allowing players time for shots other teams do it against us why can't we stop so many crosses and ga.e winner goals both carbon copies of each other with us unable to defend our flanks correctly.
We got back into the game but I think we started getting careless with our challenges chasing balls that we needed to judge better,which we did to get back in the game, we knew they would react and yet again we became ragged in the defence of our midfield. Teams use the balls out from the back to create opening in different areas of the pitch they usually come through our middle at one time our two centre halves were marking no-one Stamanic caught too deep, sound familiar routes to the wingers left open. We closed those routes down to get back in the game but failed after we drew level This happens far too often and yet we work the wings ending with three players ion the touch line with no out ball to the middle of the park because both our players on he opposite side of the pitch remain there you only need one to come round the back that means two midfielders are not getting into the game.

We were the better side for parts of that game, but ultimately our own lack of ambition and their flashes of quality made the difference.
Could have done without three of our best players in Eom, Franco and Vipotnik being taken off almost as if it had been prearranged rather than a reaction to what was actually going on on the pitch. Liam Cullen also demonstrated why he's drifted off to become a bit part player.
I am still fairly sure they we've got enough quality to be serious contenders at the top end of the table, but patience for the time it's taking us to show that consistently is wearing thin.
Pretty much all of what you say is I saw it today as well, he should have put Galbraith and Yalcouye on half time for Stamenic and Cullen, why they’ve got this thing of waiting until the hour mark is baffling ,if it needs change just do it Vipotnik should never have come off , apart from the spot kick,Idah did nothing to improve us,if he’d gone on With VIP then maybe a different story Leicester didn’t overpower us by any means and we didn’t look worse than them either,just one of those games to forget about I guess,and go again next game
I thought we played well in the second half and after the penalty it felt as if we could have gone on and won the game. Their brilliant second goal put paid to that and knocked the stuffing out of us, some of the football played by Leicester was a delight to watch, a very good side who will probably go straight back up.

Didn’t delight me though I’d rather win a game myself We have them too much respect Do that against city and we are dog meat
My thoughts. We were beaten by a better team collectively and individually. Wrong team selection and set up, how we expected to take them on playing 4-1-4-1 and sometimes it 2-1-6-1 I really dont know. There was just too much space between the banks of four Stamenic was on a hiding to nothing. I hope Sheehan has learnt a hard lesson today. They were better, but we could have put up a better showing. That said they scored two brilliant goals, but the third was very lucky.

Some saying we should pick our strongest side but to be fair there is sense in rotating the squad.
It’s what games you rotate them for and I’ve a sneaking suspicion that Sheehan had thought we were going to be up against it so played a weaker team. If it was a side we were expected to beat I reckon he’d have put the preferred players on from the beginning.

We're we resting players for the international break.

Stamenic is the problem. He's no playmaker yet we're using him as one. Some Leicester players haven't passed the ball into our half as often as he has.
Starting from here, Stamenic was indeed the problem, he was too deep, too negative and slow. He wasn't the only problem, Ronald did nothing at all first half and should have been subbed biut it was Eom who went off and he'd looked dangerous down the left to the point they'd doubled up on him.
We were too busy pfaffing around at the back again, there was no pace, no urgency and we gave them too much tiome for the first goal, great strike thou. Their second was an even better strike but he had 3 defensers around him and nibody got in his way, why not>
Key ius a terrible defender, he did ok first half but was missing for the first and Cabago was wandering across ti the left with Burgess, key was drawn inside and nobody spoke, nobody shouted mark your man, spare man out wide and it fell to James. BANG.
All in all ot was a very poor performance against a team that were decent but not great we should have done better. Why did he rest Galbraith because we had no one pulling the strings, all we had was Stamenic doing a poor impersonation of Grimes, dropping in too close to our centre backs and being overly negative.
Sheehan is over thinking things, pick our strngest team and go for it. We look a poor team right now but on paper we are stronger than last season when we were very good for 9 out of 11 games under him with what most if surely agree was a weaker squad?

Like me Today was the day to go toe to toe and drag the crowds back We failed Starting without Galbraith madness but I expect it Joe of Sheehan We do not have to start the very limited Cullen Sheehan has loads of options but doesn’t know his best eleven and he’s had tine Our full backs define our core problem Most goals we concede come via our inability to close down , tackle or defend space every wide man has had Keybon toast but he is not rested like Galbraith Sorry but I feel like kicking a pussycat Their defence has been vulnerable and we shyt out

A case of a top championship team playing a mid to low table championship team; let's hope we do not for a while hear more nonscence from these headers who think we are in the fight for promotion.

Problem we had is that of the three starting midfielders, only one of them had a good game.
Stamenic has his qualities but he's not the type to sit in front of a back four dictating play. He should be there to win the ball and pass it to someone who can. Cullen just isn't good enough and the reaction to him starting from some quarters was bafflingly positive.
Control the midfeld and you control the World. In the absence of Galbraith (and I've got no problem with him being rested) then Yalcouye must play as he's the only other one who can consistently carry the ball forward. Indeed, his ability to take it on the turn could have made a difference.
Pain or damage don't end the world. Or despair, or f*cking beatings. The world ends when you're dead. Until then, you got more punishment in store. Stand it like a man... and give some back.

Well, not headers really , just folk who think we have enough quality to get top six and we have If you have a coach that doesn’t switch the best players and deploy appropriate tactics then yes they are headers Sheehan has been outsmarted by almost every opposing manager We have players who do not fail to start when others could be tried Why bring in Samuel’s smith just to sit on his arse Same with Benson I won’t mention B Wales as we have no idea about him , and neither does Sheehan but he had enough promise to be one of our first summer signings

I'd live to know if anybody thought Cullen did well today? What did he do? is it worse that while I think Stamenic was poor, Cullen was largely anonymous?
I agree about Stamenic, he's the muscle not the designer, Galbraith is the designer. The midfield three today did very little of any note.
If the thinking today was we're going to get beaten anyway so play a weakened team then I'd question the mentality? We're at home, we have signifucantly strengthened the squad and we should be trying to win our home games, not surrendering before kick off. I really can't see that being the reason. Surely you rest your best players against the weaker teams?

Today we seemed to revert you the bad days if early last season, with Stamenic playing the role of Matt Grimes - negative backwards passing then sitting between 2 cbs.
