If we sort the goalscoring out I think we are top 101

On our finishing, I see it as a positive we created so much against a team who were in the PL last season.
Keep creating and we’ll start scoring a few goals. With our defending 1 or 2 will usually be enough to get a win and if not a draw.
If we keep missing then we have goalscorers we can bring in to start such as Knibbs, Godden when fit etc.
We’re a threat at set pieces as well as from open play, so it’s not as all our chances are coming from one player or one type of move.4 -
As well as we played, for some reason it pains me knowing that in reality, Leicester started the game with two 16-year-olds.0

NTT20 verdict was that we did deserved to win and only didn't because their keeper had a great game. Highlighted our clear style of play, chance creation and the ref blowing for soft fouls at corners10

We should have been more clinical in taking at least one of our chances, but relegated PL sides who still have PL quality players have players than can do this. When promoted sides go into the PL, they easily spend £100M+ and this was part of Leicester's spend - had it not been for a severe injury last season, the lad would have played more games and probably elevated his value even further.
He was the one constant threat that genuinely looked a level above us. We are going to come up against more players like Fatawu this season, but, as others have said, the result here was determined by an moment of top class. We should have absolutely taken at least one of our chances to get something from the game - the save from Coventry, in the context of the game, is just as impactful, if not the same "quality" as the Fatawu finish.
On the balance of the game, I was disappointed to not get any points from the game. Players playing below their level have the ability to carry a result from a moment of brilliance and particularly in situations where players can grab a vital goal. There's always going to be mitigating factors or things we could have done better. It's hard to stay too salty about it - I've watched the goal a few times now and it really is top drawer. Like anything like this, you want to control your controllables and look at our lack of cutting edge.
Sometimes football is like this - when you watch enough games, you know sometimes it isn't going to be your day and we should have got more from the game.5 -

I admire his abilities and achievements don't get me wrong but on a personal level I can see why he rubs people the wrong way.0 -

And let’s not forget a fair few of our fans were building up a hatred of some of the stuff Jones was coming out with in interviews, so it’s no surprise it annoys opposition fans when we are doing well, like it annoyed our own when we weren’t1 -

If we win today, we're above Birmingham. Before season started, any of us would take that after 4 games.

Fatawu scored a similar goal v Birmingham last night. Hard to believe the goal against us was his first for 15 months or so I was told.0

Perfect timing if he's trying to attract PL clubs before the transfer window slams shut...0

In his QPR post match interview, Nathan Jones says that they got info back that the refs made a mistake in the lead up to Leicester's goal... he as much said they'd had an apology from reffing body0
