Most of the doubts were expressed when we were in the Premiership though as I recall.

Thought he was quite impressive when they played us, but then again our performance that night probably isn’t a decent yardstick to use. 

 

It was in the prem but also in the summer. Like I said at the time, my brother in law is a spurs fan and said he was decent but some people on here knew better.

A bit like some people thinking Holgate wasn't as bad as some people were making out....? ;)

Yeah well any one of their players looked decent that night for how shite we were! But thankfully even with our little drop in form recently, we look far from that performance again

Very high pace game in the first half. 

Leicester look pretty damn solid at the back, scary up front. 

Leeds are very lucky to sill be in the game (it should be three or four) ...but they are.

These 2 teams look a bit tougher than our lot. 

They are, as are Ipswich. Physicality is an area I think we lack in, skill wise we match them.

We just have to have Downes fit. Defensively our midfield is the weakest of the teams at the top. I don't think Smallbone gets in any of these teams.

Hilarious people turned their nose up on here at winks. He's been excellent tonight so far. 

With hindsight, someone like Winks rather than Smallbone in any central midfield role would have benefited Saints greatly.

the £10m choice in the summer was Winks or Charles.

Leicester loads of strength and stature which is really the main difference between us and them. They got a few black lads continually winning the ball, holding off people and driving forward. It's undeniably impressive. 

And unfortunately, we have Smallbone.

Some of the finishing in this game has been diabolical!

Yep. Let's just hope that Leicester don't suffer a suckers punch here. Leeds are more than capable but Leicester should've had this one done by now.

Yes, I meant someone like Winks (proven, experienced) playing regularly in cm would have been a better proposition than Smallbone, and Charles for that matter.     Your point is well made, buying Charles (one for the future) has cost us as our midfield woes have mounted.

That was so inevitable, as soon as Leicester missed their chances you just knew they'd score and win it.

Just need to keep it at 2-1 and not let the GD get out of hand here, it could do now. Leicester have gone.
