Back to the game - a point away is ok if you win your home games. That would be promtion form at an average of 2 points per game (92 for the season). However we are drawing our home games too often - I think we will end up mid-table not really getting any closer than 4 points from the play-offs or 4 points from the drop zone. It is where we are with this squad. IF WE GET LUCKY WE COULD MAKE THE PLAY-OFFS ... just. Or we could get some new investment ....

i think we will make the play offs if we keep pluging away and grinding out results! We seem to be gaining confidence with each game and like foxpodder said a point away from home isnt that bad, plus we got a man sent off and have a load of injuries/unfit players.
3 points against stoke please.

I'd consider it 2 points dropped as I'm an optimist and we were a goal up for most of the match. I'm not pleased and continually throwing away points will see us relegated
i agree yes today was two points dropped as we were 1-0 up and seemed to be the better team. However the general point was a point away from home wasnt that bad!
It will be interesting to see how we respond against Stoke who are playing immense lately. They have won 3 out of 4 of there last games! and are now level on points with us. It is a must win, like all the games are
Tiatto worked his socks off IMO. Weso looked unfit, and Stearman didn't do much in the 2nd half.
TBH I'm pleased with the draw. I feel that we did well to hold QPR out, they were quick on the attack. Nygaard, Smith and Blackstock all gave Kisnorbo and McAuley a tough time, those 2 did very well to keep us from losing. IMO we were the worse team on the day and the point we have won is one we did not deserve.

I don't think that QPR ever really hurt us, they never got behind us, clean through, we marshalled them very well in defence.
We struggled up front and never looked like getting a killer second goal.
That is until we gave them a penalty and then I think the team battled very well being down to 10 men.
I thought we got treated better at Millwall last season than we did when we exited the ground today.
The LCFC fans in the lower tier were held back after the game, it looked like someone broke their ankle on the stairs when we were actually allowed out. We were then kept outside the ground penned in by police. I was almost escorted back to the special train back to Leicester that the police had laid on. The Police trouble spotter obviously thought I looked a thug and wanted me sent back. They had 50-100 fans surrounded by police who they were going to escort back to the mainline station. They were not going to let me out at all, did not believe that I could be a city fan and not need to get the train back to my birthplace. I had to show my season ticket for the underground to prove I lived near London before they would let me go.
I thought I was going to be kipping on my brother's settee for the night!

I think it was the coaches they were trying to get you to - it was when we came out from the top shelf (even at my venerable state of decrepitude I had to show them my Citizen Ken card to be allowed to turn left instead of right!). It's a long long walk from there to the nearest main line station!
I understand that there had been a mouthy group going out earlier shouting about how they were going to do whatever, so they were being a bit wary I suppose. And there was a bit of heat being generated at the underground station at one point - nothing serious, just mouth and handbags, generated by the queues to get on the platform.

Disappointed that we couldn't hold on to take the three points after taking the lead, but bearing in mind the crippling injury list and virtually a second sting midfield that includes players playing out of position, overall an away point is ok.
Whilst we have drawn a high proportion of games during this unbeaten run, it has to be pointed out that with such a bad run of injuries it must be taken as a positive the way the manager and players have reacted, in similar circumstances other sides would have taken a heavy beating or two.
We are all very quick to criticise when we under perform, me included, however I think the management team and players have excelled in very difficult circumstances and should be commended.

I'm dissappointed that we could'nt hold on, but given the fact that we were without a midfield who could'nt get to grips with the game, which left our attackers isolated most of the time, then you have to be satisfied with the draw.
I was in the upper in Y2 we were marshalled to the right
out of the ground to the end of the road, and your right O.G. it is a long walk to the underground.

I don't think a point was bad,we lack creativity in the middle.Need Williams back alongside Tiatto in the middle of the park and allow Weso to get fit gradually.The problem area remains the rightside of midfield IMO,we just haven't got anyone to play there

I KNOW!
WE managed to get to the front and I asked a copper if the Upper Tier were being kept in as well, yes i was told...HA!!! fecking liars!
Anyhoo Tried to have a laugh about taking my chances outside when they said it was for our own safety we were being kept in, they didn't laugh...tossers.
When our lot started pushing the copper let me and a bloke with a kid through to stand next to the food kiosk bit and then when they FINALLY deicded to get everyone moving they let us three go first and i saw the cordon outside,i bloody knew everyone was going to be held there as well!
they let me out so i stood near the coppers listening to their convos, and one-looked like the bloke in charge- said that they'd all be held and those the had spotted would be picked out.
Tried phoning Ben cos he was still in there someone, couldn't get through, but then i spotted him and our mate Nick, they wouldn't let anyone out of the cordon so I asked the copper who looked like he was in charge if they could be got out cos they were on a coach..so he told another copper who grabbed hold of Bens shirt and pulled him out but then a copper in the cordon tried pushing him back in! he ended up falling out of the cordon onto the floor,somehow managing to get a split lip in the process!
They told me about the coppers shoving people down the staris-which is probably how the lad broke his ankle!- and Nick got shoved into the metal barriers on the stairs, he was still in some pain when he got off the coach. haven't spoke to him yet today so hope it's just bad bruising,but he had trouble breathing so he was hoping he hadn't broke a rib.

This is just typical of how the police operate at any football match.They look upon all fans as hooligans.
I look upon the police with very little respect these days.
