A front line of Fats, Mavididi and Patson should be capable of scoring loads

I suspect away from the spotlight he will be a perfectly competent goalkeeper. He clearly doesn't have the mental strength for the top level. I suspect he pulls off worldies in training, but freezes under pressure.

So current LCFC is too miserable for words. Me and my mates tried to define the games that marked the beginning, and the end of our glorious era? We agreed on the 5-3 Man Utd game as the beginning. At the time perhaps the most extraordinary game Iād seen. The end? Blowing a 2 goal lead at home to Brentford in August 2022, when our according to the BBC report āThere is so much talent running through this Leicester team but there have been suggestions that momentum could be waning after a dormant summer in the transfer market so far.ā You know what happened after that. September 2014 to August 2022. A wonderful 8 years

Genuinely canāt wait for this season to be over. Itās utterly joyless being a Leicester fan at the moment

Ruud van Nistelrooy - New Manager - Official
Harpenden Fox replied to moore_94's topic in Leicester City Forum
I feel you can see that we have a game plan now, and at times play some decent stuff. I'd argue that last night against Palace was about as well as we can play. But they had better strikers, and we have terrible central defenders - all of them. And we can't keep changing managers. We can't afford to paying millions in compensation. I've accepted that in all likelihood we will go down. I just hope next season we blood the likes of Nelson and Alves, and see if we can build a new team recruiting from the lower leagues and Scandinavia. -
Coady was marking Haarland, moves away from him just before the cross is played. Leaving Haarland unmarked. Total basics frankly.

I was sorely tempted to leave at half time but stayed until 87. About the third time Iāve left early in 50 years. Miserable, cold and deflated.

Not even any half time āentertainmentā any more. Not that it would have lifted the mood today. Feels like the whole club has given up, apart from the e-commerce team imploring me to buy more overpriced tat

Wolves 0-3 H Post Match Thread
Harpenden Fox replied to urban.spaceman's topic in Leicester City Forum
Iāve seen a few terrible performances over the last 50 years. That first half was right down there. Wolves are poor. They barely lifted a finger and slaughtered us. -
And devoid of atmosphere.

after 19 games, so yes

You would though. Be honest.

So I obviously live in Hertfordshire. For last night's game my son and I came up on the train (Ā£45 each). Stayed in a decent Airbnb on Cambridge Street (Ā£100). Train to London for me this morning (Ā£45). He took a train back to Manchester, where he works. Then there's the season tickets. I'm lucky, I can afford to do this and choose to do so. But it is ridiculous, and making it an 8.15pm kick off is vile. So too is VAR. But because we won, and this made me happy, I then went and spent money in the club shop despite a few weeks ago vowing not too because it's full of overpriced rubbish. The powers that be know we are hopeless addicts.

Brentford (A) Saturday 3pm - Match Thread
Harpenden Fox replied to tcrofts's topic in Leicester City Forum
Iām sitting in the Brentford end. Neighbour - Southampton and Ipswich were poor, but nowhere near as bad as these -
Absolutely this! I can hear that phrase so clearly
-
Itās barely worth debating anymore. Heās so clearly out of his depth, and I think he knows it too. I think the squad we have is just about capable of survival, just, but we need leadership and ambition to have a chance

Chelsea (H) 23rd November - Pre-match Thread
Harpenden Fox replied to Trav Le Bleu's topic in Leicester City Forum
We so desperately need an exciting against the odds result to reinvigorate the club. I absolutely cannot see where it will come from, but I guess youāve gotta have hope or whatās the point? -
Ben Nelson - loan to Oxford United - Official
Harpenden Fox replied to moore_94's topic in Leicester City Forum
What a blow for the lad and us. Remarkably, the website posted this update an hour ago. The left hand and the right hand of our Club seem totally detached Ben Nelson was forced off just over an hour into Oxford Unitedās 1-0 triumph over Hull City at Kassam Stadium last Tuesday, due to injury, and missed the Uās latest league outing ā a narrow defeat to Watford. The defender has made a positive impact since joining Des Buckinghamās newly promoted side, but it remains to be seen if he will be available to return to their squad when hosting Middlesbrough next weekend. -
Very similar feeling for me too. Although Iām not a big purchaser of replica kits I think the realisation that a shirt now costs Ā£70 shocked me. Itās just vile profiteering. Not the biggest problem we face, but a symbol of something deeply unpleasant. I hope we can find a new owner with passion for the project, a new director of football, and an enthusiastic young manager

Whatever happens this season, every home game should be a non stop tribute to this legend. We will never ever see the likes of him again. Sing his name. Remember your favourite Vardy goal. Savour every minute we have left of him.

Post match - Man Utd Carabao Cup - 5-2 loss
Harpenden Fox replied to jim5000's topic in Leicester City Forum
I think thatās the point. Everyone is just going through the motions. The chairman has lost interest. The media is the same every week. The social media is the same every week. The defending is the same every week. The excuses are the same every week. All we have left are memories and one last season of the legendary Vards.
