Jesse Marsch made a hasty retreat to the dressing room upon the final whistle, as boos rang out from the away continent at the King Power Stadium last night. It was nothing more than Leeds deserved. Whilst the Whites may have one of the most loyal fan bases in the World, they don't suffer fools gladly. It was hoped their display against Arsenal last Sunday, was going to be the start of a much-needed revival, yet 15 minutes in, when Robin Koch turned the ball into his own net, it was clear that they'll face an uphill battle to survive, come May.

But Leeds haven't learned from their mistakes. They work incredibly hard to win the ball, only to lose possession a few passes later, only to repeat the very same process again and again... Our forward line never looked like scoring; they could still be playing now, and still not find the back of the net. This is against a team that have conceded more goals than any other top flight team (24).

After Harvey Barnes added Leicester's second, ten minutes before the interval, there was never going to be a way back for the Whites. Even with a second half forward line consisting of Bamford, Rodrigo and Gelhardt, they were unable to put Danny Ward under any kind of pressure.

No

Hitting the woodwork is not counted as a shot on target believe it or not, Andrew.

It's in the highlights package and they don't tend to put those in.

Maybe the second Summerville effort which was deflected for a corner was on target had it continued it's path

It is deflected. Otherwise it was on target for the top corner. Don’t know how they view that tbh
