    Reading the board and comments like No Heart and No Fight makes me feel they may have lost the fight.

    3-0 is certainly a bit of a thumping and not for the first time we have collapsed at home.

    Is DW the man for the job or are the players just not good enough?

    Not looking good now. :(

    There is no doubt that Leicester are a very good side, probably the best side I've seen this season but some of our players were embarrassing tonight - they know who they are and they should be ashamed.

    Well let's hope Danny also knows who they are and drops them for Saturday.

    We need fighters not shirkers but it may now be too late. Our home form has certainly let us down this season.

    Not for me they haven't. Well, Dawson, Jennings, Steele, Ramage, Kennedy (crap but not given up) and O'Grady haven't. I don't think for a minute Cranie has either, but he wasn't on the field long enough to tell.

    Mellis? Dunno, I don't know what he wants from the game. He certainly doesn't work like any of those above. Neither does McCourt like, but at least with McCourt it looks like you might get something from him going forward. Mellis is offering just as little in defence as McCourt, but nothing in attack. Woods doesn't look like the kind of player up for the fight. Hunt, so far, doesn't look like the kind of player a club would pay £millions for, so I guess we're not seeing the best of him yet.

    We could do with O'Brien in the team, but we've lost him to injury. And Hassell, injured too. While M'Voto and Nyatanga are a poor substitute for Cranie and Ramage.

    It's going to be difficult.

    Kennedy is as heartless as Mellis. Can't work out why people seem to be forgiving him. Stumbles around like a lost puppy and refuses to make a challenge at all costs.

    I slated Ramage when he first came but this past few months along with Jennings and Crainie they have been the standout players for me and am hoping these injuries aren`t too serious.

    Ramage would now be my first name on the team sheet, has the look of a leader about him.

    Exactly the same for me mate. I judged him all wrong. He's a much better player than I gave him credit for, while his professionalism is superb. I've got a lot of time for him now and I'm a bit embarrassed by what I said in the past and by the fact I judged him so quickly. A lesson should be learned there, but I've a feeling I'll forget it.

    Couldn't agree more, been fantastic in the last couple of months and I was really unimpressed to start with,.
