This is what Leicester Fan Tv’s Sam had to say on the match…
“It’s as simple as we got outplayed by the better team yesterday. Sometimes you have a bad day in the office, and for us that was against Leeds. We went into the match with high spirits and a good mentality, but after taking the lead and then letting Leeds come back and take the goal back, our heads dropped from their, and the better team won…
I think tactically we messed up as well, forcing to do a sub with Castagne and Riccy P, then trying to play with 3 at the back, it just wasn’t meant for us yesterday…
But now we move onto Fulham, and if we want to push for the top 4 spot this season, we need to pick up all 3 points against a bottom half of the table side…”
