Will be our next game against Palace - a team we traditionally hate playing against. This will be far more of a benchmark of where we are than last night, which was terrific to watch, but was essentially a training match for us.
Palace are the team I genuinely hate playing against alongside Burnley, which we just about got through. These are the kind of teams who have taken points of us every season since the title win and are ultimately why we have finished mid table rather than top 6.
A win against these lot and I’ll really start believing something special could happen but I think it’s got the potential to be a banana skin for us. Well drilled and dangerous on the break, they’re all wrong for us a side and we need to be at our best to beat them
Biggest test of the season........

Yeah next week is going to be very tough, we rarely do well down there so I'll be delighted with a scrappy 1-0 with an own goal.

I think we have a chance but we need to keep key players fit and possibly make a decent signing in Jan. Top 4 will come down to beating teams like Palace, if we do that then we can afford to lose against the likes of City and Liverpool.
If we start slipping up against the likes of Palace then it’s top 6 for me

Agree with these sentiments. Palace seem to have an ideal style to beat us and they know how to beat us. They’ll be very well drilled to do just that.
They’ve not just beat us recently, but thrashed us. Ironically they do it with a counter attacking style that is fast and direct and precisely what we used to inflict on other teams.
We’ll need to be wary and, agree again, that it will be a good indicator of progress if we can get a decent result there.

I don’t k ow what to think to be honest. I’m actually going on to games confident of winning and that doesn’t happen for a leicester fan.
I felt we’d have too much for Southampton and I also think as long as we defend correctly we can go to Palace and get a result.
Do I need to go and see a doctor?

Just do not setup/play like we did at Man U. ( We could of won than and it still pees me off!)
No more playing for a draw away from home and losing to a dodgie penno!
I think Palace beat us 5-0 last time out so let us return the favour!

Yeah, bit a of bogey for us in recent years. Would genereally be happy with a point here, but as long as we don't play for a draw and give us the best chance of winning. First goal is crucial.
