Some VERY Leicester moments from the Sheffield Wednesday draw

Neutrals, and a few Leicester City supporters, considered the trip to Hillsborough a foregone conclusion. It was, in their estimation, an easy win; three points were perceived as already in the bag. It wasn't!

Archetypal Leicester City moments

Indeed, it remains quintessentially LCFC to travel to a side languishing with minus six points whilst rock-bottom of the EFL Championship table only to succumb to a draw or a defeat. This very outlet predicted predictable disaster, and the Blue Army were served exactly that flavor of frustration.

Contemporary Sheffield Wednesday are statistically one of the most awful cases among Football League sides in history. A fact that only serves to hammer home the ridiculous nature of the modern Foxes.

Elders among the Blue Army will be acutely aware that City have long possessed a peculiar knack for tripping over their own laces in eminently winnable matches. With a whimsicality that defies logic, they often subsequently go to a club like Manchester City or Chelsea and extract a result from the jaws of the elite.

Such randomness is the lifeblood of the King Power experience. A terminal lack of concentration at the starting whistle, followed by conceding to a well-taken but standard corner through unorganised positioning and a lethargic lack of intent, is vintage Leicester at its most exasperating.

The personnel performance echoed this historical inconsistency. Patson Daka, having miraculously secured a vital brace in a previous fixture, proceeded to miss at least two open goals and squander further golden opportunities. An act as LCFC as it gets! The opposition goalkeeper 'having a blinder' is certainly notable here.

Furthermore, the decision to entrust a so-called elite-level technician like Harry Winks with set-pieces, only to be forced into swapping him for a younger professional after a series of dismal deliveries, belongs firmly on the list of grievances. Manager Gary Rowett has begun making oddball decisions: such as inexplicably removing the much-improved Luke Thomas from corner and free-kick duties.

The tactical gambit of placing Jannik Vestergaard up front, and the subsequent attempt to intellectually justify such a manoeuvre, was pure nonsense. Most shocking, however, was the entrance of the constantly underwhelming forward Jordan Ayew.

The Ghana international proceeded to become a genuine baller; capped off by a superb goal. Critically, the former Crystal Palace man should have netted a second, yet his vastly improved display baffled and pleased in equal measure. Not to mention a classic offside, to boot!

The reliability of main stars, Abdul Fatawu for instance, is not working either, and is also Murphy's Law. Only certain suffering fan bases seem to suffer other situations where defenders like Caleb Okoli fall over themselves and feign injury as opposed to sprinting back!

Despite these individual flashes, it remains profoundly difficult to understand the collective failure to claim victory against an outfit in the fractured state of the Owls. Further trouble is on the horizon!
