Nite that they come on here en masse as soon as the slightest positivity is displayed here.
Thinking has never been your strong point though...
Newcastle 100%
Leicester 100%
Brighton - probably a draw would have been fair as their first half was as shite as our 2nd.
We were well on top against Leicester but lost control and they had as good as if not better chances in the second half.
When fit , but if they were fit Ange would be doing better .
If a side completely dominates one half and then shares the chances with the opposition in the second half, they are still the better team over the whole game.
Thomas Frank?

That's the point though. Had we taken even half of the chances we wasted, Leicester wouldn't have had the opportunity to get any momentum to get back in the game.
If we're 3-0 up, do you think Leicester get even half the chances they did in the latter stages of the game?
Maybe! Lets see.
Think we will have a wait sadly to get a fit squad , bloody frustrating
Unfortunately my friend I have lost all faith in AP as a capable EPL manager. The super result wise highs don't work for me when they are followed by super result lows. Just can't buy into that!
It's not even the argument is it?
If we were lucky to beat Sheff United, a team we had 28 shots against, 10 on target, 71% possession, then we were unlucky to draw with Leicester.
I am not even sure how this can be contested,
Unless it's us finishing 5th last season right?
Seem to recall you agreeing with a lot of caveats to that finish and a lot of results taken throughout two seasons to try and take away from the league table last season
When it's not us it's "what serious teams do, they find a way to win "
When it's us, "we were just lucky."
You'd expect to hear that from fans of the teams you'd beaten, not from your own supposed "support."
Don’t agree but I understand
Yeah, and look, I don't want to dismiss the underlying concerns right now. We were not unlucky to lose to Palace, Ipswich or draw with Fulham - in my opinion, those points dropped were deserved.
But people should be able to take a smidge of a step back and have some objectivity about what constitutes a lucky win or loss.
Couldn't agree more.
I've said repeatedly that we need to improve our consistency, but that should come in time. There's enough evidence, both statistically and visually, to suggest we're on the right path.
I don’t recall the Leicester keeper making loads of good saves. More like a performance that was quite ineffectual overall - a lot of possession but not much intent with the ball.
Newcastle I agree we were quite unlucky
I don’t think we dominated Leicester. They fought back and probably deserved their draw in the end.
