You got the absolute minimum you deserved from that game......a point. With a bit more luck you may have won it. Credit for playing so long with 10 men too.
Disgusting is the word i'd use for Leeds' performance.......

Leicester battered Leeds from the start, and didn't let up when they lost a man. Leeds had an off day and were well under par. With 11 men Leicester would undoubtedly have beaten Leeds convincingly today so I guess I should be thankful for the point.

Of course we are still talking Roaster me old mucker!!
Today Leeds were crap but only because Leicester made you look crap and never allowed you to play. Undoubtedly there was only one team who were looking like winning the game and that was Leicester.
Must also say that the Leeds fans were the quietest I have heard in a long time. You were louder when we beat you 4-0 & 2-0!!!
One thing I must say was that I was very disappointed when in the pub before the game with some Leeds fans who were cheering when Alan Smith got injured!! I told them so as well (Luckily some lads backed me up). Whatever you think of the lad there is no need for that and he always gave 110% when playing for Leeds.

I only listened to the match on the radio today, but I have to say that for the most part, it was only the Leeds fans I could hear!! The Leeds fans were singing all the way through the second half without letting up. Maybe the Radio Leeds microphones were in the Leeds end With regard to Smith, I agree with everything you said, and am glad you stood up to the Leeds fans that laughed at his injury. Something like this should put petty rivalry into perspective. Get fit soon Alan.

I'm not saying that the Leeds fans didn't sing but someting wasn't right they weren't singing with the same vigour and gusto (which I admire) as they normally do.

I guess then even our travelling support found it hard to raise themselves for the game today as we have still never won at the Walkers!

I know you never really do that well against us. We have even got some good results up at ER over the last few years. One thing about Leicester V Leeds is you always tend to get a good game. Not many boring 0-0s!!!

I've just got home, and was pleasantly surprised by a great Leicester performance, and a priceless point considering we had ten men for over 80 minutes. Leeds were shite, simple as (fans included in that)

I'm surprised you are happy with the point, it sounded like Crainey should have given you a penalty with ten minutes to go.

Yes, he should have and would have if the ref wasn't wearing a Leeds shirt, he had a nightmare! And he sent off Patrick Kisnorbo instead of McCarthy because he was so far away from the incident, he only got it right when McCarthy told him it wasn't Kisnorbo! I said before the game I'd take a point, and after 12 minutes I was certainly not going to moan with a point!

It is true that we weren't as vocal as we usually are, surprised the hell out of me too because there was a lot of us there... I think it may have been down to what we were seeing on the pitch though. Kelly seems to have steeled Leicester up a bit. Even when they went a man down after Hulse was brought down (which could easily have been a yellow I thought) (and he tried to send the wrong fella off I think) Leicester didn't stop.. Well done to you guys, the change has clearly done you good..
