They’re VERY quiet Andy!


I wish Town players would go forward … we’re barely getting over the half way line. Where’s the forward pass onto one of our three front men ? 🤷‍♀️

EXACTLY BURNS….. do more of it !!!

FFS were far too slow on the all and off it . Move for gods sake !

If only we could stop giving the ball away when playing out from the back.

The mount of times they win the ball back from us playing into or around the centre spot. Our midfield just not getting to grips

We look bloody clueless!! Hladky needs to get the ball out much faster. No one making runs on throw ins. Jackson should use his speed to surge into the box maybe getting contact for a penalty. Burns is the only highlight with his runs. Where the f*ck is Captain Chaplin! Bring someone on who knows how to attack ffs! Edmundson has had more of the ball than anyone.

That was woeful, ok it's Leicester but at least show some bloody effort. Slow and Static all over the pitch, passing is shambolic, second to virtually every tackle and loose ball, we are constantly losing our shape, aside from Woolfy (apart from the header) and Jackson who is working his socks off we've been woeful.

I expected to lose but I also expected us to show some effort, we haven't. It's Been a dire game, a silent stadium too. Hutchinson and Sarmiento on second half and give it a bloody go.

Dewsbury-Hall and Winks winning everything in the middle of the park. Chaplin and Harness barely in the game.

KMc certainly going to have to earn his money today if we’re gonna get anything out of this game.

Fortunately our bench looks as strong as our team so plenty of option for the boss to utilise. Let’s hope he can muster up some magic.

I can't wait for Morsey to come back we are missing him and Burgess, this is awful to watch we need to liven things up, Hutchinson and Sarmiento and Broadhead and Axel need to come on, they might even try to shut up shop now.

Massively disappointing. So much that we need to better - both individually and as a team. First thing being grow some balls and compete!

Exploit L’ster’s high press, and get in behind them - Jackson’s pace is what determines his inclusion. But we seem to lack belief.

Big calls for KM to make to transform our first half performance, to one that befits ITFC. But COYB!

Just few of the players don't seem on it. Our midfield looks lightweight and that's something hardly say last two seasons. Hardly heard the names of Harness and Chaplin

Unfortunately mckennas system will be our downfall..he will no want to revert to anything else .cos it will only question his tactics if say we jst floated in a few high balls in to the goal area and scored...this is why we need a kiefer Moore in there to head in those balls . It will throw off the oppositions plans as well ...oh well..mckenna got us this far.

Still no shots on target, how can that be after the save their keeper just made from Burns effort ?

Quite agree…. We have Jackson with pace up front … how about a root one every now and then. We’re powder puff …. And balls in the air for players to get in the end of : laughable . Not single player on that pitch can header the ball . Bring on Axel snd Hutchinson, and Saramento or whatever his name is . We need more direct play for once !

We've been much better this half though, Burns unlucky, cracking pass from Hladky to split their defence, sadly Clarke fluffed the cross with Three in the box.

Looks like we’re gonna give it a go for the final 20 mins. If only we could stop giving the ball away.
