I really enjoyed this match in fact totally loved it.What football should be about,entertainment remember that word.I really don't care how many goals the opposition score as long as QPR score more.One thing annoys me is when managers,coaches and supporters say at least we kept a clean sheet.Well you can stick your 1-0 where the sun don't shine give me a 4-3 thriller anyday.Got to be the best match I have seen in many a year.My match rating was a 10 by the way.Lets make dodgy defences compulsory in football and put smiles on football fans faces again

Very disappointing second half, we looked like a different team on the pitch.Clasie has a long way to go but can't blame him for this team performance,Yoshida just can't be the answer to right back surely,and Davis looked like a dear in the headlights very poor, as you can tell very disappointing result.

The other 10 players coped with one weak link, Kelvin Davis, until the 60th minute substitutions, which left us with 3 glaring weak links: Kelvin, Clasie and Yoshida. That was just too much for the rest of the team to cope with against a fired up Leicester midfield and attack, which smelled blood, when Cedric and Steven Davis went off. In the end, we did well to hang on for a point. To be fair, Jamie Vardy was very good and on current form can score against just about anyone.

I hope we don't have to resort to using Kelvin, Clasie and Yoshida against Liverpool.

Poor defending again for their first goal - Konchesky is finished for me. Not sure about the penalty as I couldn't see it, but Fer gave the ball away. Substitutions were bizarre and I'm afraid I've lost faith in Ramsey now. Step up Mr Warnock or someone who can sort our defence out. One of the better Championship sides would put 4 or 5 past us, as Fulham did.

Was this the same team that embarrassed Chelsea? The front 3 had none of the spark that turn Cahill & Terry inside out last time. You can argue that Kelvin is a weak link at this level but everyone knows his distribution is poor so why we kept playing it back to him is a mystery. Only Van Dyke can claim any credit from this game. The rest were below standard.

Why isn't there a zero rating?
I did not see anything that Clasie did that deserved a point. Not a single pass tackle or interception.
I cannot remember seeing such a second half capitulation in sixty years of following Saints.
Dreadful performance and poor substitutions.

In coming to any sensible conclusions about what went wrong in this game you have to start of by appreciating and accepting that the opposition was really very good indeed. I groan as much as the next man when a Saints player gets it wrong or gives away a loose pass (and heaven knows that happened often enough in the second half) but most of these failures were not unforced errors. There is a good reason why Leicester are flying high in the league and their current form didn't happen by accident. Second, you have to accept that there were injuries and weaknesses in the squad. VW appeared to be carrying a hamstring injury for most of the match, Clasie is not up to match speed and Kelvin Davis - a great man and a loyal Saint - is past his best. Having said that however, I felt that the team lost its collective nerve after the first Leicester goal and started being dragged further and further back into defence, so that we were never able to clear our lines and put pressure on the other end of the field. The midfield almost ceased to exist, Pelle and Mane were no longer putting pressure on the opposition defence and the ball kept coming back to us too quickly. The team lost its shape. A vital lesson needs to be learned here, and learned quickly because there are better teams still to come!

Vardy and Mahrez were excellent second half, sadly in the main, because after S Davis went off we lost control of midfield. This was exasperated by Kelvin kicking the ball straight down the throats of Leicester. Jordy Clasie must have something that big Ron admires, but I have to say that there was no evidence that he will cope with Premier league football on display yesterday afternoon.
