Therefore credit is due, the fact that we had a poor run, came up against a top four team and got a result. How on earth do you deduce that..!! We changed 5 players because we were trying to strengthen..!! They changed 7 players to give their better players a rest..!! Yet we still couldn't beat their B Team..!!

I have to say the Leicester manager really screwed that up. He wanted to rest his best players, but ended up playing them for most of the second half just to chase 1 point. If he had played them from the start, they likely would have won easily, and he could have subbed them out at half time. 2 points wasted, and no one rested. Every club is in the same boat, not just Leicester and playing just twenty minutes or so is a rest at the moment.

Palace looked a more balanced side against Leicester with four midfielders but it took two heavy defeats for RH to get it right. We are not good enough to have three strikers. Benteke seems never in the right place to receive a pass he either can’t anticipate the pass or other players can’t pass to him correctly. RH should sort this out or play Batshuayi. Even though we managed a draw we only played well at the start of the second half when we scored the goal. After that we allowed Leicester to take the initiative and their goal was snatched even though there were three defenders who stood in front of the scorer who didn’ t challenge. RH has passed his sell by date.

It wasn't a memorable performance, but (I think) I heard them say Leicester had won 5 and drawn 1 of their last 6 away games. Based on that and many people's pre-match fears 1-1 has to be seen as a good result. Roy admitted himself that the team were still in their shells first half. Hopefully it'll give us the confidence to go and beat Sheffield Utd. Tomkins looked a bit rusty, but I still think he should start the next game. I think creatively we offer less without Eze in the team, but Schlupp has been playing much better than many of the rest of the team. It will be interesting to see what Roy does.

The draw stopped the rot and before the game I was asserting that I would be happy with a point. Leading up to their goal, we just weren't able to retain any possession up top and in the end we conceded a poor goal with Barnes able to shoot home in spite of being surrounded by 3 of our players.Benteke back to his usual poor display. I laughed out loud when Wilf hit a forty yard pass to towards Townsend / the corner flag rather than play Benteke in prior to his goal. Didn’t laugh so much at Benteke’s header at the end. In the first half I thought Riedewald and Luka were off the pace and we virtually surrendered the midfield but despite that Leicester fashioned relatively few chances and the penalty was the only proper save Guaita had to make. However, the midfield alternatives are all much of a muchness and can’t see what the continual fuss is about Roy supposedly choosing the wrong one. I’d admit I didn’t expect to see Luka.

Schlupp was very good today and our defending was almost as good as it gets and yes Tomkins should definitely remain in the side, I hope at some stage of our next game to see Eze come on and have a go so it will definitely be good to see what Mr Hodgson decides to do.
