We don't look like scoring at all, only a matter of time before they add thier third

I don't think Markanday is up to it at this level - but fair play at least he's willing to have a shot. Everyone else seems to want to walk it in. 

They all do it. A touch too many, a pass too many. This is what you get from relying on youth, they’ll make mistakes.

[yankfan]

If I was a Leicester supporter I’d be going mad over the goal kicks. Makes me feel better about our suicidal play at times. 

[rovers11]

Game is dead. Leicester have been at walking pace all game.

Just going through the motions here,offering little.

No pace or height upfront so it's all very easy for Leicester to defend against it - we only look like scoring when we catch them in possession. 

[Tricky]

thats their star player out at least...

[G Somerset Rover]

This will be 3-1, I’m convinced.

JDT still not fancying Semir when we’re this desperate speaks volumes.

[Bethnal]

All rather aimless at the minute, but 20 minutes left, so we have to be a bit more strategic than tactical and stay in the game long enough to push towards the end and try to knock the wind out of Leicester’s sails. A draw here is a good result, playing to keep that aim alive is alright.

I want more than we have on the pitch, unfortunately. Dolan and Markanday have basically the same attributes and flaws, which are easy to marshal. There’s no recognised striker, no aerial threat. We’re hoping for Sammie to find a second rabbit in today’s hat, which is a big ask of him every week.

[Tom]

Reminds me of 2011 or so when United won the league at Ewood and we pretty much confirmed survival and they passed the ball around for 20 minutes under no pressure 

[Blow-in]

There better be 10 mins injury time, though we don't look like scoring no matter how long this goes on for. 

[G Somerset Rover]

Jesus Christ Travis, how did you miss that?!

[CambridgeRover]

Travis you greedy shit, let Sammie shoot

[Tugay-is-God]

Had to do better there. Come on lads, there's only one goal in this. 

[BigBar]

Jesus where is the urgency? Leicester happy to just saunter through this, coasting. Have a feeling there is 1 more goal in this.

[Tom]

Shit from Travis, really poor finish

I don't blame him for shooting (I usually moan that he won't shoot) but he has to score from there.

[booth]

Markanday passing backwards when he’s five options in front of him boils my piss.

[ItsRoverZ]

Wharton £20m?! Having a laugh, lad wouldn't look out of place at Doncaster Rovers 

[Sparks Rover]

Carthorse well done

[OldEwoodBlue]

Wharton really poor today.

Needs a break from the side as do a few of them.

 

Pen.

I think Leicester are in 1st gear knowing they can step it up at any point. I’d be frustrated as hell as a Leicester fan and thinking just finish rovers off or get a 2 goal buffer.

They play some suicidal football. They’ll get away with it vs rovers and other championship dross, although it directly led to our goal but easy to see why they got relegated playing like this and will do again if go up. 

[rovers11]

Here we go...another 3 goals conceded

[Exiled_Rover]

Another odd thing from JDT (besides refusing to play Telalovic and starting Pears) is his insistence on running A. Wharton into the ground - he's playing 90mins regardless of how knackered he looks when last year he couldn't get a game. 

[yankfan]

We  put a lot of reliance on Wharton and when he gives the ball away it’s straight down at goal.
