Point gained but two dropped

Post by cricketfieldclarets » Wed Mar 03, 2021 7:52 pm

Before the game a point would’ve been taken by most. Played very well there. And having gone ahead and dominated the second half it’s disappointing not to win.

Play like that and we stay up easily.

Didn't see the game but damn glad we got a point. And Vydra has scored!

Excellent performance ( possibly best this season), all 11 played well in their roles
No way are we going to be relegated

Nah definitely a point gained. West Brom and Fulham were points dropped.

I said in the match thread we had a 10 minute spell in the second half where we reverted to lumping it forward and it was no coincidence that Leicester got back on top. We went back to playing the ball on the floor and we looked so much better. Wood is not a striker who copes with lumped balls. He was good tonight linking old as was Vydra.

I’m not sure why Dyche didn’t make changes though. McNeil was on empty at 80 minutes as was Cork.

Point gained for me. They have most away points in the PL.

Pretty much agree, but I thought second half home to Brighton we were actually better than today and again SHOULD have won.

There's so many positives to take from tonight im delighted.

Only "negative" is we didn't take all 3 but if we play like that til the end of the season we'll get to around 40

Not really two points dropped in my view. Sure, we might have won but we could also have easily lost the point.
A point a game from now on takes us to 40 for the season.

Played very well. It’s one game. We could still get relegated but hopefully we won’t. We still don’t score enough. Most would have taken a point beforehand me included

Second half in particular was a pleasure to watch. Some great attacking football against a very good team. Surely can't get relegated with performances like that.

Just as easily could have lost that as won it so nothing lost tonight. A good performance and a dominant second half which was a joy to watch.

Schmeicel was their best player.
Certainly better from us than we've been playing recently.

So often we've won games and I've come away thinking "crumbs we're such a lucky team", but recently that luck seems to have deserted us. We've played better today (and some other days) than in numerous wins over the years, but the ball won't go in or their goalie makes a series of great saves. Happy not to lose tbh and hopefully get at least one more point on Saturday.

You could usually predict a score like that with BFC. Here's the source code for the squad for the computer geeks among you:

If opposition_position <= 6 then
 // Team inside the top 6
 if team_name == 'Manchester City' then
  result = '5-0 loss'
 else
  if rand(1.0) < 0.5 then
   result = '0-0 draw'
  else
   result = '1-0 win'
  end if
 end if
else
 // Team outside the top 6
 if rand(1.0) < 0.5 then
  result = '1-0 loss'
 else
  result = '2-0 loss'
 end if
end if

Definitely a point gained, and every point gained is another step towards survival.

Yes we could still get relegated, but it's not looking likely, only 1 defeat in our last 6 now, and that was at Spurs, which most wouldn't have expected anything from anyway.

The key for us is picking up a couple of wins against the teams around us, and we're more than capable of doing that on tonight's showing.

Got to say a point gained against a top-4 team, but the performance deserved all three. Don’t remember a better one all season, and definitely the best match we’ve been involved in this season.

We don’t often play as well as that but when we do we really need to be picking up all 3 points.

I'm quite happy with the point,dont think for one minute it's two dropped..Leicester could easily say the same dont think either team deserved to lose that game

A great game, and very inspiring performance by ourselves. For me it was a good point earned-both sides however could have won. Saying that Schmeicel was probably MOM, which is an indication of how we attacked. One thing to bear in mind-whilst we had our injuries LCFC were missing some big names, namely Maddison, Evans, Forfar (just coming back), Praet and Justin (the last two scored against us at the start of the season).

If we play in the same manner then we should only lose a minimum of games to some of the high flying clubs. The other positive is that Wood came through OK and starting to look like his old self. I think his goals will be key in the next dozen or so games

Saying we dropped 2 points is stating the obvious, however it wasn't disappointing.
It was an excellent point won from a very good performance. Leicester could have won it just as easily as we could.

One of the better Premier League games I have watched this season between any 2 sides. Compare it to the dross that was served up in the game after which was turned off after about 30 minutes.

A game played at a good tempo with chances at both ends throughout the game. We had the better chances but they also had some decent ones.

Plenty of positives from last night.

Wood was excellent and looks like him and Vydra are capable of forming a formidable partnership.

Charlie Taylor back to his best, linking with McNeil and delivering plenty of crosses.

Jack Cork was also excellent as was our player of the season Matt Lowton.

Only 2 more games this month so plenty of time to get the injured fit and hit the ground running in April.

How long have you been watching us.... Dyche doesn't normally change things if its going OK, and it hasn't served us too bad over time,so I'll stick with what he thinks is best.

Our best performance so far of the season and we played entertaining football. Vydra took his goal well and hopefully it will do his confidence a world of good. A point gained for me, given the opposition, but I see what the OP means - we deserved all three on that performance.

Yes I think we definitely edged it. Chris Wood's overall game was outstanding, so unlucky not to score.
