Keeping Rodgers for too long will be the reason 

Of course but losing at home to that Bournemouth team in the way we did was a war crime.

Good point provided we beat Everton 

We could point ourselves to survival,

Even if Forest & Everton get one win…then lose the rest.

 

Its all in the lap of the gods…our results are nothing to write home about.

Its who can throw the better dice..

[StonyFox]

It's a point away at a relegation rival who would have targeted this game as a win. If we follow that up by beating Everton then it's 7 points from 9, which I'd have taken coming into these three. 

[Ian Nacho]

Stopping them getting an extra 2 points is just as important as the point we got ourselves.

Massive respect has to go to Iheanacho who injured himself in the build up to our goal but still managed to get the pass off to Maddison so he could set up Vardy.  He was limping very badly but still got the pass off.
 

 

Many  players would have gone down but  but he stayed up and it’s got us a point. Who knows how important that point could be by the end of the season…

They should add that to the pre match montage for the Everton game.

if you see the actual replay and  focus on Iheanacho that you’ll see the massive effort he puts in just to get the ball away to madders.  Big respect to him.

But he didn't stand in the way of their goal when that's pretty much all he had to do. He was so slow across his line. I just think we've got 2 poor keepers at the club at the minute and he seems to be getting a pass cus he's not ward

Well short of putting Smithies in, we have a choice of Ward or Iversen, and as others have said, Iversen may not be the answer long term, but given the choice of Ward or Iversen, its not even close, its Iversen everytime, and i honestly believe that had Rodgers dropped Ward after the Brighton away game, by which time it was abundantly clear Ward was no where near good enough, then we would have had some time before january to assess Iversen, and bring in another Keeper if we felt we had too, and we would have more points than we currently have. Not playing Soyuncu and keeping faith with Ward for so long is totallly on Rodgers and a major reason we are in the mess we are in now.

In fact its almost as if Rodgers was on some kind of mission to get us relegated!

[DerbyshireFox]

Take the point. Thought we were the better side overall but didn’t create enough. Not much quality on show from either side, but both fighting for survival. Leeds were boosted by the disallowed goal and then scored against the run of play. They were more aggressive but less controlled than us. I thought Harrison had Kristiansen first half, but he dealt better with him in the second. Subs changed it. Could’ve won it, could have lost it at the end. Felt tonight was must not loose rather than must win, but Everton is huge Monday night - it already was to be fair. Pleased for Vards, and pleased we are finally showing some spirit too

True, although i think they will beat Bournemouth on Saturday and Spurs at home on the last day, which should see them safe.

Everton has now gone from a must not lose game to an absolutely must win game now for us, then realistically if  do beat Everton, we probably need a win and a draw from our last four games, so probably Fulham and West Ham, although it depends which Liverpool turn up here as well to be fair. 

Ive written off the Newcastle game, it will be their last home game of the season, very probably have already sealed top 4, and it will be a carnival, where their players will want to put on a show without any pressure.

In fact im a little bit worried our goal difference might get a hammering in that game!

Ridiculously obvious statement, but keep Maddison fit and we will stay up. 

Probably a hot take, but I don’t think he’s been anywhere near his best recently.

[Nod.E]

Should have won, but we'd have lost it under Rodgers. 

 

We're just drilled again. I can get behind us.

 

Vardy may well go on a purple patch after that. We've seen him explode into form before, and he seems to be playing with a hunger we haven't seen for a while.

I'm honestly surprised that Smithies isn't our number two given what horror we've endured with Ward in goal this season. If we go with Iversen next season, then we definitely need a proper back up keeper, I don't want to see Ward play for us ever again.

[Spiritwalker]

It was definitely a better point for us than it was for them.

A few boos from their fans at the final whistle.

A Leeds fan in the carpark was full on ranting about getting rid of their manager and getting Rodgers in.

[fuchsntf]

Would Soumare have been called offside in other games,yes he was standing offside but was he interfering with play,or in goalkeepers eyeline…

just a question because I didn’t see All relevant angles…..??

[fuchsntf]

I believe Iversen is shaping up to be a top goalkeeper..I couldn’t care what others say,because I don’t go OTT on every error…but tonight he shouldn’t have been beaten on the post… If it went across him to the other corner ok. But the near post area belongs to the GK..

 

I still rate him and his future potential..

I agree and arguably we did better without him and Barnes against Wolves oddly.

I wasn’t sure at the time, but watching it back he comes from the offside position to lay it back to Youri to smack it home. Not for the keepers eyeline as I originally thought

[Gamble92]

To the Leeds wank sack I nearly had a fight with in Bikerkeller Notts cos I kicked a chair over when vardy scored.-

The ball bounced off him into the path of Tielemens  for the ‘goal’.

[Royston.]

The best thing you could say about that result is it keeps our superior goal difference intact.

 

The players showed determination but we need to win matches.

 

All that time pissed away with Rodgers...

 

Well done Top 

[Deeg67]

A fine result for us, really.  Leeds have a tougher run-in.  But my goodness, how has Bamford missed that chance?  You'll never see one easier than that.  And for those saying he was offside,
