if you mean me about the rubbish comment, I did mention we were the better side for the first quarter of the game, but we were virtually non existent as an attacking force after that, Leicester were able to win nearly all of the 50/50s, they continuously passed the ball through us while retaining possession for long periods and when we finally did get the ball, we passed it straight back to them. We finished the game playing "parks football" - as you say, we don't have the aerial dominance we did have in the Championship, yet pumping the ball up in the air towards Paterson, Madine, Ward, Morrison etc was the sum total of our attacking ploys during the last fifteen minutes or so of the game.
