Leicester City 1 - 1 Leeds United

A draw. Not bad. Not good either. If at the start of the season you offered me a draw away at Leicester in March I would have taken it. They are a decent team and draws away from home are good results against all but the weakest teams in the division. This is no longer the case. We need wins. Others around us are doing well. Hull and Southend managed good results last night. Southend are out of the bottom three. We play them on Saturday in the hope of reversing our respective postions.

The match was, as I predicted, not pretty. I wish Jemal Johnson well as he was taken off with a nasty looking injury after a heavy tackle. The resulting free-kick led to our goal and then we promptly squandered our lead within 30 seconds. Dennis Wise copped a load of abuse from the Leicester fans all evening (can't blame them really) and that's about it. Oh, Thompson and Elliot made the bench but when the former came on in the second half he went off injured with twenty minutes - so don't expect to see him for a while.

All told, I'm happy....ish. A win on Saturday will do wonders. Come on the mighty whites.

Well its a point and not losing will maintain the growing confidence. Losing can become a habit and we are at the stage where we can no longer afford that.

A bit sloppy though to concide the goal so quickly I think we were still celebrating.

Hopfully we'll be off the bottom on Saturday night.
