Good first half.

Amazing what a of intent has when we press rather than block.  It’s like a pentagon with the two DMs, both 10s and TC, but importantly the DMs are 20 yards higher than normal.  Why only now are we doing that?

James excellent, Pring too both ways.

Robert’s man marking a bit , stepping into midfield

Actually, I will change that view - Ipswich first half was awful. We sat in with barely any attacking intent and tried to get to half time “still in it”.

We've definitely gone for it more in this first half.

Think we’ve played some of our best football for a while. Knight having a great game and more what we say from him early on. It’s what we do and how we respond if go down a goal. 
 However looking like we could definitely get something from this so far. 
 

Sound obvious but if we want to win more games we’ve got to approach each game this way.

Decent first half, much more exciting game than we’ve seen lately.

Can I add a “but” ?

Leicester are a team intent on attacking. It’s akin to Southampton / Ipswich games and we know we play better in these games where the opponent comes at us and has more possession.

Don't get me wrong, we’ve looked good, but it’s nothing new to allay our concerns is it? 

Leicester have had their highest number of first half shots with 11, and probably the closest chance? That Vardy one looks like it was nestling in the corner but his the post.

It’s a good game, I’m enjoying it and I think we can get something that I wasn’t expecting before KO, but it doesn’t really change the view on Manning - just reaffirms it really.

Totally agree. I won't be getting too excited about a decent 20 minute spell. 

However we'll be parading this team on the pitch in 30 years time for that decent 20 mins spell.

11 from us not them.

Must’ve missed the idea that loads of POTD people in the dolman and lansdson buy a ticket and don’t turn up!

What does Manning do at HT, play Cillian Murphy sleep stories or what

He probably said more of the same we just aren't playing as well so far this half

We are so vulnerable to a quick goal after HT, anyone got the stats on how often and how we compare to the rest of the league?
 

I wonder if it was a decision to shut up shop for the first ten after HT then ease back into a more attacking posture as the half goes on

Conway misses regardless, but why is it that if a pass deflects off a defender, it's still offside but the reverse is also the case.

Pring wasn't intentionally playing the ball to Conway there, he's deflected a clearance.

 

Defenders are getting the benefit in both cases.
