After two years of watching the "Bland"....

Worst game of season tonight. Combination of Leicester fans having a great time (me thinking will we ever get our glory?), our tactics were obviously terrible, fans in town end were down, then to add to my woes Leicester fans in our stand were taking the piss our of us. Glad that's our last game for a while

Jesus, if he can’t control the ball when he gets it how the hell is he going to get a shot on target he was very good for 15 minutes in one game and awful in lots of others , yes we don’t create enough but it’s his control of the ball I’m criticising do you honestly think he’s good at that when he does get it because I certainly don’t .

So you’re criticising him for his ball control. I get that. He could probably work on that though I have to admit I have fuck all idea what this team works on all week. It certainly isn’t attacking play.

That's the bit that sticks in me craw. May as well have just changed it all at half time. Nah
He waits until we are 0-3 down then makes like for like subs.

Absolute ass hat of the highest order

He'll say I gave the youngsters a go. All of 5 minutes against the leaders when 3 nil down. Well done Ryan very adventurous.

Very poor - a lack of fight and sheer will to win. RL cannot make the team play with the consistent mix of pace and invention needed to succeed at this level. We need four maybe five new players. If the club is taken over I cannot see new owners persisting with RL. But let's get this season out of the way and then see where we go from there.

There is no fight or will to win, they are trained not to lose. The problem is they are crap at not losing.

Did anyone stay for the lap of honour with Wives and families, i bet that was embarrassing for them.
6,000 leicester fans and a few hundred PNE ones, or did they decide not to do it?
TBF if it had been a Saturday match we usually stay, but not on a Monday night with an 8 o clock ko and only getting home at twenty past 11!

Yes. How can you a lap of dishonour ( I think it’s all a load of bollocks anyway) with a title winning promotion party going on?
 
The game was played like a pre-season friendly v Man City. Pep style tippy tappy with a Pep lookalike manager and no tackles of note from PNE. Lowe got it all disastrously wrong; that said the Leicester budget with parachute payments makes me quite simply hate the game atm.
Browne is an athletic, strong player who often sets the tone with his combative play. Why would he risk the chance of a lucrative sign on fee elsewhere by getting seriously injured?
As for not playing Miller wide left and not even trying to swap him with Brady , well that’s the reason why I departed on 75. Absolutely piss wet through & even more pissed off .
 
Well I wasn't arsed about last night & as it turns out neither were the players. A truly embarrassing performance.

As an aside what a absolute walloper Jamie Vardy is. No need for for the celebration in front of the Town End. It wasn't as if he was getting stick & was just giving back.

Should've been booked IMHO.

For me, the performance was really poor- but not as horrendous as most are saying. But the clear lack of passion… that WAS as horrendous as most are saying.

That was such a depressing watch.

Really? It was so much more than horrendous.

We didn't have a shot until the 75th minute & that came from Lindsay.

Just rewatched their second goal. Andrew Hughes is a fucking disgrace, just stood and watched Vardy smash it in.

With these absolute clowns in defence and in goal, playoffs will always be a million miles away.

I've kept posting all season that Hughes is finished at this level. Most of the goals we concede come from our left hand side .

We offered bugger all at Saints QPR 1st 15 mins OK then back to doing nothing same against Leicester awful to watch no wonder these who left didn't stay to end yet RL still thinks he has done well this season.

Awful football Players just not knowing what's going on RL tactics Interviews the whole lot is just a bore & becoming a chore be interesting to see Season Ticket numbers still. Not creating any chances to like 75 mins and it comes from a defender says it all.

Not one moment of interest or excitement watching that game tonight. Lowe says in his interview that they had 4 or 5 days on the training pitch preparing for the game, seriously!?! It was shocking and it has been for most of the season.

Firstly I’m pleased they’re doing the job that they’re paid so handsomely to do and preparing for the game. Does he want a medal for that?

Secondly, how were they preparing because that team was not a team that looked like they were anywhere near up for playing Leicester last night.

Thirdly, I’d expect him to know whether it was 4 days or 5 days. Counting really isn’t that difficult.

And finally, please just get out of our club.
