    Fox 20+ fouls (plus several missed) = 1 yellow card. Us 7 fouls no cards = lack of effort?

    Despite the garbage he sounded completely dejected which is absolutely not where we need the manager to be 2 games from the play offs.

    I can only assume he watched the first 5 minutes of the second half and spent the rest of the match with **** in his eyes.

    I think I'd take ****ing Redknapp TBH. He may a twat, but knows how to set up a team.

    Only possibility is that he didn’t want to slag them off publicly, even though he basically said some of them weren’t trying. The players know they were ****. You’d hope behind the scenes he is saying something very different

    Yeah I felt that - he looked totally devastated. His comments IMO were like that as he was shell shocked.

    He has no right to be TBH. He knew how Leicester were going to play and he still made the same mistakes as he did when they came to St Mary's. If he's lost the stomach for the fight then **** off Russell.

    He may not be all of our favourite but if he went do you think we would get anyone better?

    Pretty important that we bounce straight back and beat Stoke - I don't want to be heading into the play-offs off the back of four straight defeats.

    (Leeds will probably beat us regardless - but if we're resting a few players, and are focused on avoiding injuries etc, then it just makes Leeds' task even easier.)

    Play a lot of the youngsters against Leeds. Will need them next season in the Championship.

    Special shout out for Manning btw.

    One of the worst footballers I have ever seen play for us, in any league.

    Could be worse. We could be Chelsea

    Okay, maybe not worse, but…

    He’s feeling the pressure no doubt. Looked it during the game too. Even if we had beat Cardiff, don't think we’d have won tonight. Maybe Cardiff result floored the team.

    Hmm, wonder if Ross would have made the difference.

    Said earlier but despite the three wins prior, the only game we put a solid 90 min performance in was Preston.

    Generally speaking the standard has been mediocre to poor for a while.

    These games have just been reality hitting as we haven't successfully addressed any of our flaws throughout the season, despite that insane run.

    He's not everyone's cup of tea, but this is a really good, passionate interview with Jack Stephens, who insisted himself that he would front up to the media as captain.

    One of only a couple who seemed to care tonight. Proper leader.

    Those who seem to have given up please hand your shirt to others who want to fight and win. And by the way we’re not paying you for such dross. Total mess.

    In fairness, we will (assuming we do go up) need to strengthen considerably defensively - but the wide players can only get better and the midfield ain't bad ...

    Vardy is past his sell by - but still a potent finisher, if you can play him in ..

    Looks like the play-offs now for you guys - all the best <cheers>

    Still raw ... but improves with every game and has huge potential... best game of the season tonight (quite obviously) ... now getting his shots on target whereas he'd been clearing the stands early doors ...
