    takes every frre kick, badly, 1 decent corner out of god knows how many, and missed asitter that may cost us our championship place. how come all of a sudden he's got the right over howard for every set-piece? 1 frigging free kick at preston!

    did you go to watford or preston? obviously not, he was amazing in those two games, all because he played in the middle of the park, he doesn't have the pace to be a winger, my only problem is hes sometimes too greedy on the ball around the edge of the area

    none of howards set pieces today beat the first defender, which is appalling!

    Open your eyes.

    'He's ***** if I'm honest'

    Well over the top.

    In the first half today he was class. He is better through the middle than on the wing. I was sat with some leicester fans and they said that they thought Leon was head and shoulders our most dangerous player today - and I think he was. He was, by all accounts, class against Watford, and he did the business against Preston - without those six points we'd be dead in the water. So how about you give him some credit where it is due? Reach inside yourself and find some respect and gratitude.

    glad someone is talking sense, how about the lack of firepower up front, there was nothing the whole game what so ever!

    I think leons corners are very good, we are normally pitiful from corners. 2 chances cleared off the line from corners today, fosters goal at watford came from a leon corner too.

    Howard took one corner in the first half and that was it. It beat the first defender but no one else after that leon took everything free kicks and corners and didn't do any better.

    I dont think he is awful

    His distribution is very good
    His tackling and speed isnt

    He isnt a left winger thats for sure but I think he gives us something in Midfield we are lacking - certainly until Da Silva is fit

    Agree - I cringe when he takes them

    We need someone to 'whip them in at high speed' - no one can do this at BFC
    Other teams can
    wwwwwwwwhy noy us?

    I think he's quality and shows the difference between an English and Spanish player.

    Calm on the ball if no one is available to pass to he just doesn't hoof the ball forward, he keeps calm beats his man again and waits for somone to make theirselves available.

    A touch of quality in a poor midfield.
