The obvious one is Bojan starting and looking like he can resume from where he was prior to his injury. Shaqiri looked more dangerous and threatening as game went on. Pieters, who has worried me lately looked far more solid Most of all though was the quite brilliant football we played in that first half. We tore Leicester apart and looked in a different league at times. That first half display is without doubt a foundation to build on.

Bojan had an incredible game in the context of his injury, he everywhere in that first half. Arnie made his goal but Bojan 's run was pure class, it was like watching a Barca goal. Pieters too nullified a player who has destroyed every left back he's faced this season, very solid.

Big positive for me was the fact that when they equalised they were all over us, but we dug in and held on for the draw, how many times in the past would we have folded, in fact the last 5 or 10 mins we almost won it.

Boj, van Ginkel, WHELAN, Super Jon, Johnson, Pieters, Arnie (first 55), Shaqiri...
Team spirit, link-up play, general quality and tenacity, see how little quality Leicester actually have...
A real shame we didn't win, but it was a spirited if uneven overall performance.
Excited for the rest of the season.

Positive -BOJAN
Positive - The next two league games are very winnable, and frankly we MUST get at least 4 points from them.
Positive - There is still time for the manager to sort out our shambolic defence in time for us to have a good season

Positive: The whole team was fantastic in the first half, could have been up 3 or 4.
Negative: The whole team was a shambles in the second half. Why? Players don't go from great to shite over a cup of tea at half time. Raniera saw what was going on, brought on Albrighton and Leicester were different team. Albrighton completely changed the game in mid-field and we couldn't adjust.

Van Ginkle was very good today, couldn't believe he got subbed off.

I think we were the better team and unlucky to lose. If we play like that, especially as we did in the first half, we will start picking up the points.

We didnt win because Arnie made the most pathetic attempt at a tackle,and gave away a stupid penalty. That made us nervous and the inevitable mistake happened, Peiters made a basic mistake of not moving up, before the 2 stoke players ballsed up the header

We didn't win because Leicester made good adjustments at half time and shut us down. If we had readjusted by making the right substitutions - e.g. Ireland for Bojan before he got knackered and, maybe Joselu for Walters - we could have kept the pedal to the metal and got 3 or 4 more.

In the first half we got an indication of the potential that this team has. The difference was Van Ginkel, who had his best game for us, and SJW, who stretched their defence and made gaps for others like Bojan to exploit. Bojan linked up play well, and the defence was solid - for most of the game. Glenn was excellent, again. Basically, for the first time this season, I didn't miss Nzonzi. Give it another four games or so, and if Shaqiri adjusts properly, Affellay delivers, and Bojan gets properly match-fit, we will have one hell of a team. With Adam and Irleand offering reliable support from the bench, or different options, and the eventual return of Shawcross, we'll be fine.
