I doubt this result will give DM a sleepless night. Nine changes says it all . Giving players who don’t feature a run out . With the league his main priority and with games in hand stacking up it’s going to be about keeping players focused and fit .
How bad was it?
it's nice to see Selby finally getting into the black friday spirit (read two threads at once) and we can all save on time that's called a 50% discount it's such a shame Rovers decided to have a "black Sunday" now does anyone know the difference between Leicester under 23's and leicester under 21's ?https://www.lcfc.com/news/1499016/citys-youngsters-away-at-doncaster-in-efl-trophy/press-releaseLeicester City U23s 4 Derby County U23s 1All the images from Holmes Park as Leicester City's Development Squad make it six wins in a row with victory over Derby County.https://www.lcfc.com/galleries/1505143/leicester-city-u23s-4--derby-county-u23s-1at the moment the forecast doesn't look that good against these lot whatever side Rovers put out when the Leicester team is announced does anyone fancy checking how many out of the 6 wins in a row mob turn out compared to the Derby match ?.of course this match could have a silver lining if one of their youngsters could "strike" a loan deal here.Lincoln got one from Everton on loan after the match this season
The thing this week as shown that none of the U23 players are ready for the first team. Bingham and Thomas should not be kept in January.No Sterling, hopefully Ennis can come back, no Blair . DM has limited players to pick.

Bingham and Thomas should not be kept in January, they should not be kept after this week both were bad can take May with them as well
The best 3 players for us tonight were Halliday, Amos & Blaney. 2 of them went off at half time Halliday & Blaney. So Amos rightly got m.o.m. As he got a full game. That was desperately poor tonight. Leicester were sharper, and their movement was far superior to ours. We were far too static. Based on that Thomas and Bingham are going backwards and neither looked like they would score if they stayed out there all night. Partly not their fault as no service but they just were not quick enough in thought or movement to get on the end of anything that came into the box. Greaves does not look any where near ready for 1st team football and Sheaf was badly missed in midfield. Alfie May well don’t know what he was doing but every time he gets the ball he turns backwards and plays a negative ball. Never seems prepared to run at any one and try to go past his opponent. Probably because he is not capable. Simply put not good enough. Lawlor has gone backward in all departments and is completely lacking in confidence.This team tonight admittedly not our strongest starting 11 looked a pale shadow of the team that took teams apart earlier in the season and only 6 weeks ago at Southend. I don’t know what has gone wrong but it needs addressing quickly or our season is going to disintegrate.It is a very long time since i have been so negative on a Rovers performance. If we were worse than that on Sunday it must have been bad. Very bad.Saturday is massive. We need a win, any old scrappy win. Winning breeds confidence and there doesn’t seem to be much of that just at the moment.
Recapping my post on ‘MK Dons’ or whatever name these thieves have stolen this week - they are absolutely atrocious. Nobody in English professional football is on as poor a run as them. Losing 11 of their last 12 and drawing the other. A single point out of 33. These guys are a total disgrace to professional sport. We need to be putting them properly away.

D-Day for Darren on Saturday, never heard so many mutterings about a very poor performance, or words of that effect. If they score first on Saturday, it will light the paper, get ready because, in my eyes, there was something a miss tonight. Certain players didn't seem to be playing fully, more of a half hearted type of performance. Something behind the scenes isn't right, and tonight, it showed. Need a plan B.

What we need is to get back to basics and play the formation and team which outplayed, Fleetwood, Lincoln, ipswich, (Drew) Rotherham, Peterborough, Portsmouth (even though we lost that one) Bristol Rovers & Southend. Unfortunately Ennis is injured so we have a striker problem.
