It really was easy and some of the moves in the first half were wonderful to behold.

Because we have two games a week?
Why break into a sweat when you’re in control, why risk injuries when you’ve already won. Yes I’d love to win 4-0 like Leeds do but we’re miles ahead of them and have scored more goals.
The thing is, when our game management is shit and we let sides back into the game (even when they're hapless like tonight), we end up using more energy and risking more injuries through desperate runs tackles and stretches etc than if we'd stayed on top of things

2nd half we were just going thru' the motions.
Back home, having a beer and looking at the league table.
I think Saturday v Middlesboro' will be more of a challenge.

The second was perfect game management, they weren’t in it.

Just saw the highlights.
Not sure it's a fair reflection of the game or Ricardo's performance but it felt their biggest thread came from their left (i.e. where Ricardo was), and he seemed to play catch-up unsuccessfully on a couple of occassions.
Nicely cushioned assist for Vardy's goal from KDH who (too) often gets stick for being too clumsy!

Has to be said that cross whipped in by their left winger, which evaded all our defenders & their attacker failed to get on the end of, could have made things edgier for us.
Precisely.
There are supposed-believers discussing on another thread how they were close to 'pooping themselves' at 1-2 last saturday, so even they understand that as soon as we drop our level just a tiny amount, we invite problems. Even in this shite league, and not even against the top 6 teams.
That's another reason why I don't buy all this 'saving ourselves' bollocks.....
That was a great goal, with a touch that – dare I say it – reminded me of the snivelling arab

Definitely agree with you about Middlesbrough, But our next game is always going to be a bigger challenge!!!!@
They are firmly mid-table, GD of zero, let plenty in, not really on any sort of run, with a thick cunt as manager.
I agree – got draw or worse written all over it

Really can't understand why people aren't getting the economical win philosophy.
The aim is promotion, with as little effort as possible.
We won the PL with a similar ethos...defending under the cosh...and breaking with devastating speed.
Had we tried to overrun teams all game, every game, we would never have won the title...
The fans aren't going to remember if we relaxed a little, in the second half of the game against Sheff Weds.
The final table will tell the story and fill the memories...

They changed their tactics a bit, and teams have worked out that we wear them down so are now using all their subs earlier to try and up the tempo, and we're playing and not trying to get too stressed about it I reckon..
Yeah - we are always letting teams back in arent we?

From the games
When the ball is moved with purpose, they are brilliant - first half last night was the best of the season for this and was a joy to watch. When we start to "manage" the game, the precision in the game is lost and errors start. Most teams in the division are not capable of taking advantage but I cannot get over the anxiety of thinking what if every time we concede a corner (and we conceded a lot second half yesterday) or gift the ball away.
From Dec-Feb games: Ipswich twice, Birmingham, Watford, Millwall (league and cup), Sheff Wed (away) and even Huddersfield for a short spell when they got their first goal before the fourth. Swansea was not put to bed as quickly as it could have been. Kov excluded but earlier subs could have helped earn a point at least.

11 single goal wins, 3 draws from leading positions, and 5 defeats suggest that your childish sarcasm could be slightly misplaced

Or that you're just an overdramatic queen..
Precisely.
The fact that our 'possession game' goes to ratshit in those circumstances also doesn't help, along with the peculiar habit of not always playing that way when the game's circumstances are crying out for it.
