We were outclassed from start to finish today. Puts our recent results in perspective. We've still got one hell of a fight on our hands to avoid relegation & we're probably relying heavily on there being 3 worst teams than us in the division.
This quickly turned out to be about damage limitation, which in terms of the scoreline against a rampant Leicester we did OK. The other damage, injury to Morrison, Church, Wiggins apparently, the exhaustion factor, this is my worry. We have a massive fixture pile up facing us, and we need players who can last out games. It seems that for Jordan Cousins today his excellent season so far has caught up with him. We need breathing space from now on, but there isn't any, we need to maximise our loan options if we can, are we allowed any more?
We lost a game we were always going to lose but we lost it with minimal damage everyone around us dropped points and GD were hit hard for other teams, so a defeat has never felt so good. Leicester over and done with now and no harm done. I' m happy with that.
No damage done regarding other results. Donny and Barnsley stuffed also helps . Leicester away was alway going to be our toughest game remaining so I'm not too dissaponted. Let's put that result behind us and make history next Sunday ! COYR !!!
Outplayed but we didn't put up much of a fight Picked up a few injuries, desperately need to bring in some loans but we've said that for weeks. We'll need to play much better next week if we want to go to Wembley however the prospect of watching Arsenal or City passing it around us for 90 minutes isn't great

Exactly, game out of the way. After looking at the 2 fixtures at beginning of last Saturday being QPR and Leicester, extremely happy that we havnt lost touch, and in actual fact, we are in a stronger position.

Its ok having games in hand if we had a decent size squad (not height before any wag decides to make it so!!!)..... i'm concerned that we need to get some quality loans in quickly, and I agree with @sethplum, so we can rotate more. The games are just piling up and today we didn't have the legs to keep going after playing 3 games in 7 days....yet fixture congestion means it's going to become the norm between now and the end of the season!! If we need to replay the Cup game then we are in one hell of a fixture pile up even more than now.

An insipid, dull, lethargic performance.
Just nothing to write home about at all. Maybe Hamer is the only one to come out with any credit.
Ah well. Meh.
Hamer should be dropped and Thuram-Alien replace him.
No, perhaps not.

8 days without playing now before a relentless onslaught of massive games.
