    We fought the law, and the law won. 
     

    The rules are crap. The implementation is crap. The punishments are crap. It’s all crap. 
     

    But we knew what the rules were, and after having dodged them once in court, can have no complaints when we did it again and got punished. 
     

    Our own complacency and incompetence earned us the dedication this time. We clearly didn’t take it seriously enough first time around. 

    Who Actually Made A Difference 25/26 Season

    Play Skipp gain 0.29/game. 
     

    Play Winks, lose 0.48/game. 
     

    Not even Skipp can carry Winks. 
     

    Funny old game really… Gaz needed experienced players he could trust, including the likes of Ricardo, Winks, Farawu, Mavididi, Begovic, Reid… all of whom the statistics suggest improved us by their absence.

    Gary Rowett said he could be “exactly what the club needs” as he made his biggest appeal yet for the Leicester City manager’s job.

    Rowett rounded off his 14-game contract at City on Saturday, earning his second win, a 1-0 success at Blackburn.

    Now City have to decide who they want to lead them for what will be just their second-ever season in League One.


    And while Rowett has overseen the club’s fall into the third tier, he set his stall to remain in the role, saying he could be the man for what is a “fantastic opportunity” at the King Power Stadium. He said brave decisions need to be made as the rebuild gets under way.

    “I see a fantastic opportunity here,” Rowett said. “There’s going to be some big decisions. It’s going to need someone who is brave enough to make those decisions.

    “This team needs to look very different, the culture needs to look very different. But it’s a great opportunity so of course I would like that opportunity.

    “But what’s more important is the club getting it right, because it’s a fabulous football club.

     

    “I’ve enjoyed the 14 games. It’s been tinged with frustration and disappointment that we’ve played well in a lot of those games and lost four of them. We shouldn’t have lost that. We should have won a lot more. But it’s easy to say that.

    “It’s important the club get it right, whatever decision that is. But of course I’d like this opportunity to rebuild this. I think I could be exactly what the club needs.”

    Rowett took 14 points from his 14 games in charge, and believes it could have been more had City had a killer instinct in both boxes.

    They showed more of that on Saturday at Ewood Park, helped by another excellent performance from Harry Souttar at the back on the Australian international’s second appearance of the season.

    Rowett said: “If you look at the games, we’ve conceded silly goals. They were almost comical at times. You can’t win games of football with that.

     

    “We created the second most chances over the last 14 games but if you can’t take those chances, you’re not going to win games of football. That’s been the biggest frustration.

    “The first half was a bit of us in the 14 games. We looked nice, we looked good, we were comfortable on the ball, we build well and get into good areas, but in both boxes we’ve lacked that killer instinct that someone like Harry Souttar has.

    “Even our corners he’s getting his head on everything, so you can see the difference he potentially would have made.

    “But there’s no point crying over it now. It’s nice that he’s back. He’s had a long period out of the game so it’s nice that he can play the last two games. Now he’s got a big summer with Australia. It’s really nice for him, he deserves it.”

    “There’s going to be some big decisions. It’s going to need someone who is brave enough to make those decisions.“


    So not you then, Gary, since your decisions have been anything but brave in your time here… “experience” got us relegated, you weren’t brave enough to try anything other than the old guard that let us down repeatedly.

    Not whilst still persisting with the likes of Reid, Skipp, Ayew as we have. Maybe if we'd given Page and Monga more opportunities as well as others instead

    Souttar in place of Ayew would probably have been enough.

    Blackburn (A) Pre-match

    Some of the locals here confuse the hell out of me when talking formations in the beer leagues I play in. They often count from front to back, and they have a terrible habit of not counting the keeper in the headline number - so when they say “7v7” they mean 8v8 because the keeper isn’t a real person with feelings I guess. Numpties. 
     

    Anyway, in that vein I suggest we change things up and play a 1-3-2-4 formation at Blackburn.
