Coventry are unbeaten this term and we bested them for 45 minutes eventually losing to two volleys which would beat any club in this division.

Leicester have a midfield and front line I doubt we can keep out for 90+minutes but their midfield and defence give gifts if pressured. Go for a draw, we will lose, go there with a win as the objective and play like we did at Coventry in the first half, we might come away with a point or three.

We had literally 1 shot on target against Coventry in the first half, granted we SHOULD have had more, but we didn't. The end result was 0 goals.

If you're using that as the metric for justifying 'beating teams comfortably' so be it, but it's a bloody ridiculous claim 🤣

How many points did we get for playing fairly well in one half of a game?

And we lost 2 nil, how can that strengthen the idea that we go to Leicester and win comfortably.

For once we didn't switch off after 45 minutes against Southampton, the result, 3pts. Let's hope we give it 90 minutes against Leicester.

Well I guess I would say Rovers played similarly well against Coventry and Southampton. The difference was Coventry took their chances, while Southampton did not. if Armstrong had managed to finish one of his second half chances it would have been a different story. 

So as big a factor as our performance levels maintaining is Leicester not having their shooting boots on as we will give quite a few decent chances away no matter how well we play.

I think we are dependant very heavily on Toth - If he has a good game we scrape a win or a point at best. If he isn't at the races it's a loss. He keeps us in games so so much Southampton game last week only proves it.
