Just back in. A scrappy, topsy turvy match. We took a little while to get going but once we did we became much the better side in the first half and probably should have gone in a couple of goals up at the break. Unfortunately De Laet's mistake allowed Blackburn the opportunity to equalise. It wasn't the only error he made. He almost gifted them a second early in the second half and gave the ball away numerous times. Schlupp wasn't quite as awful bit his passing was poor and he was being given the runaround by Feeney.
Blackburn came out very strongly after half time and were winning everything in midfield. They'll feel hard done by that they didn't score while they were on top. They had two very good chances to do so. Hammond coming on made all the difference. We were able to get more of a grip in midfield which allowed Drinkwater to start having some influence, which he did by putting Vardy through on two or three occasions.
Despite his goal Vardy looked low on confidence. Full of running, as ever, but his decision making was poor today. On two occasions he elected to pass when he should have shot, and he took an age to finally shoot once he'd rounded Robinson, only to hit the post when he eventually found some bottle.
It was good to see Moore come on. He acquitted himself very well, I thought. Schmeichel had a good game and Mahrez played well even if he did take an unnecessary additional touch from time to time. Nugent was crap. The two centre backs found it difficult to deal with Gestede's physical presence and the movement of Rhodes. Paul Robinson is getting fat.
A fair result and a good day out.
