A lot of us, myself included, wanted Iwobi off at half time. All of us wanted to not lose. Would you have preferred a couple more subs on, gone gung-ho and lost 4-3?

No offer or idea of how to fix the problem?
Mate. I'm an accountant. Why would anyone trust me to appoint a football manager?
Just like how Bill and Co shouldn't be trusted to choose either. The one time in the Moshiri era where a DoF chose a manager was Brands picking Silva. And he ain't doing to bad nowadays is he.
Vardy could hardly run in the last 10 minutes, but, Smith chose not to replace him, because he was still terrifying Keane. Dyche has Mina and Coady watching every week, surely it's time for him to get Keane out of harms way and let one of those 2 play in the last 4 games. I know people say that Keane gets some important goals, but, the thing is he would need to get 10 a season to compensate for the damage he does defensively.
I sometimes think I was watching a different game to some on here. We could easily have won 5-3 given the chances, unlucky finishes, good blocking and goalkeeping.

Thought last night was more promising. Back to the earlier performances, balance was better, should have won it really, had better chances, their keeper pulled out a few top saves.
If we get the ball in and around the box that often then DCL will get chances and can at least see a way we could score a goal or two.
Downside is that Leicester did hardly anything to score their two goals, first set piece into the box and another giveaway in the middle of the pitch and we’ve conceded two from two chances.
It’s so tight, Leicester looked really poor, Leeds are all over the place. Brighton is a huge game!!

Based on my confidence. Admittedly I was wrong about winning at Leicester but not all goalkeepers will play like last night.
He did, Keane completely destroy his game plan week in week out.
I think that kind of proves the point; they were there for the taking and a little switch here and there may have unlocked the door.
They also ignore the fact he heading two fairly simple headers over from corners yesterday.
He's not that clinical!

Being confident is one thing and thinking we can just go and pick up points easily when we have won 1 away game in a year is something else.
We absolutely NEED to win one of them two away games, I just don't see how we can we are conceding two goals every game, we aren't good enough to go and score 3

I will say...it won't be his fault we go down.
Was brought in late, wasn't given anything to help. Games are running out. If he were brought in earlier...we'd have at least another win on the board IMO.

Another dinosaur of a manager who simply hates making subs. Surely a manager will know not to play Michael Keane in a high line (i know he should not be playing at all) but playing him in a high line is going to cost us.

A misplaced pass and an inspired goalkeeping performance really. Can't blame Pickford for the first goal. It came at him from from a crowded box, he slipped but still almost got a hand on it. More clinical finishing will find Leicester out, they're nowhere near safe. For me the crucial game is Forest v Southampton because we can't stop at least one of our rivals for relegation getting point(s).
Nobody’s saying the options on the bench were ideal, but there was large portions of that second half where we were yards off the Leicester players. Second to everything and visibly blowing for tugs. It was crying out for fresh legs from about 60 minutes.
When we started eventually pushing for a goal late on, our midfielders were so high, they were pretty much playing as forwards. At this point, if not before then, surely it would’ve made sense to bring an extra attacker on.
A point isn’t a bad result the way the game panned out first half, but the much needed three points were absolutely there for the taking, if we were brave enough.
