There's no doubt that it was a better performance than what we've served up recently.
We played well in the first half against Coventry, but other than that, it was one of our best performances on the road since Wrexham at the start of the season.
And it was a pleasant surprise to see us trying to win rather than going all out defence, like we have been doing.
However, the fact it was an improved performance underlines why Mason has to go. In previous games, he's been starting Diakite with Mulumby on the bench. And Diakite is one of the biggest reasons why we have been dreadful.
What we saw tonight is that we are capable of more if we select out best team and actually have a go.
I don't blame Mason for taking Issac Price off tonight, because I thought he was our worst player. His passing is terrible. He had an easy opportunity to play Heggebo in and managed to pass it 10 yards behind him. It's criminal he's our only number 10 option to be honest. However, I don't understand why he brought on Illing-Junior, who has been woefully off form, rather than going 2 up top to take advantage of Leicester's obvious defensive frailties.
To be fair, I thought Maja did okay tonight when he came on tonight, looked more mobile than he has recently, showed some nice touches and link up. However, Heggebo was having a decent game and deserved to stay on. I think we've only seen 2 strikers together twice this season, second half against Swansea at home and the following game against QPR. For me, given the balance of the game today, I think we could've gone two up top again. The fact we didn't and ended up losing makes you think we probably should've threw the kitchen sink at trying to make our dominant spell count.
