Barnsley 1-1 Leicester City: Five Things We Learned

Just when you think you've turned a corner, Leicester City 8.5 turn up. It must be about that number, by now, of how many times we've seen a different Foxes side.

A 1-1 draw at Barnsley against ten men on paper looks terrible. A good 60% of fans thought the same, but for others, there are signs of promise: you only have to look at the goal we scored, how we controlled the game and created chances, yet succumbed to yet another mistake.

That Liam Cullen goal was everything that Russell Martin wants to see - it's a sign that there is some life in his ideas, but frustratingly Warren O'Hora's mistake allowed the hosts to earn a valuable point.
