David Wagner had praised his side’s fans for their hand in the Canaries’ positive opening to the campaign, but they saw their team lose at home for the first time in more than four months.
One fan said on Twitter: “We huffed and puffed a lot in the second half and can’t fault the effort, but a real lack of quality in the final third.”
Another added: “I’ve criticised perhaps harshly at times, but that second half tonight I don’t think you could ask for much more. We deserved a point at least, but that’s football.”

but that second half tonight I don’t think you could ask for much more. We deserved a point at least but that’s football. #NCFC— Ben (@BenM3011) September 20, 2023
Frustrated after that one.
Gave away a silly penalty and there were plenty of good chances squandered.
We have to be better than that against the bigger teams if we’re looking to be near the top come the end of the season.#ncfc— Anna say (@Anna_say25) September 20, 2023
Who would have thought we wouldn’t have much up front without Sargent… everyone bar the club #ncfc

Went toe to toe with the best team in the league. It’s going to be a good season. #ncfc

Tough one to take. That stupid penalty was a massive moment in the game and then we just didn’t get the breaks in the second half despite giving everything. Gutted 😞 #NCFC

The fact that Leicesters’ goal keeper got #POTM says a lot. Ref was shocking, but so was our defence for that second goal. On to the next #otbc #ncfc

Strength in depth will cost us. We look so clueless going forward. Idah, Placheta & Hernandez not good enough for a promotion push. #ncfc #canarycall

I mean, they’re going to win the league by a country mile. So it’s pleasing how we played well and pushed them to the end. #ncfc

Seeing hate for Placheta and idah when I thought they actually looked alright when they came on?! 🤷🏻♂️ Leicester controlled the game and clearly are class at playing out from the back but nah must be Idah’s fault for not winning every single ball that’s played to him 👀😂#NCFC

Made a game of it 2nd half and created a couple of decent chances , Leicester’s 2nd goal was quality though, if anybody finishes above them this season they are going up! #Ncfc

Back to earth with a bump. Think we might be on a bit of a mediocre season again. Prove me wrong #ncfc
Look like we’re massively missing Sargent and now Barnes has a knock. Lacking a bit of depth.

I enjoyed watching #ncfc try and get something from that game though. Shall whisper it but we were slightly better when Barnes went off and a whisker away twice from what would have been a deserved equalizer. Gunn didn’t really have that much to do for all Leicester looked good.

I’m sorry but Idah, Placheta and Hernandez are not promotion winning players #ncfc

Not actually too bothered by that
Mclean or Duffy score different game
When you can bring Vardy, Ndidi and Dewsbury Hall on it helps, they’ll be another Burnley. #ncfc— Ross Amies (@Ross_Amies03) September 20, 2023
