A good season for me consists of three things: - Survival - A cup run - A style of football that doesn't make me want to gouge my eyes out

Are we more likely to get 4 or 6 points deduction from the start of next year, is anyone clued up?

Not making a sub before the 83rd minute where we were being carved open in midfield was absolutely bonkers. Terrible in-game management (again), he's just got away with it this time. I like the fact that he's passionate & has implemented a style of play (However boring it may be), but as i've said previously i'm not sure I can stomach another season of it

English tax is absolutely batshit mental in the PL. He's a championship level footballer with a world class engine. Spurs is an outrageously good result for him, I could understand a Palace/Bournemouth coming in for him & seeing his as being a useful asset, but how on earth does he fit into a Spurs XI?!

I may be wrong on this but I'm fairly confident I've read that we've overperformed versus xG across the season. I think on the balance of it we're roughly where we should be. First 10 games or so we got away with murder - how we were sat on ~25 points I have no idea. On the contrary we've had some absolute stinkers not go our way through either refereeing or finishing incompetence (Leeds A, Ipswich A, Plymouth A, Bristol City A). Swings & roundabouts.

hahaha yeah i imagine this is how a very good % of the fanbase feel. entire club is just a mess so it's difficult to get properly on board. even singing about playing football the 'enzo way', i'm sat there thinking I really don't endorse that

Truly one of the worst value for money signings we’ve made, and that is saying something. Outside of his pace he has no redeeming qualities as a striker. Useless.

Apologies if this has already been said but I am so fed up of disliking the manager & supporting a team that is genuinely really hard to like. The lack of professionalism, ruthlessness, excitement isn't acceptable for a side with 10 times the spending power of the teams at the other end of the table. You've got plonkers like Mavididi coming out and saying 'I just love proving the haters wrong', then putting in a performance like the one he did on Wednesday. Pathetic. Then you've got an attitude from the top which is *AGAIN* shifting blame from themselves to somewhere else with Enzo talking about the schedule. Genuinely Enzo, get ****ed. It's the same for everyone, however not everyone has a squad of 15+ international players in the sodding championship. If you're so worried about the schedule then utilise your coaching ability to make your £100m reserves capable of playing the way you want them to play, or, god forbid, experiment with different ways of playing so that you can rotate your squad and use the likes of Souttar, Coady, Stolarczyk, Praet, Yunus, Cannon, Kelechi, etc etc. I'm so fed up of not one person (Potentially Vardy aside) standing up and taking some accountability at this football club, and then acting on it.

I can't do another year of Enzo I'm afraid. In the championship it'll be painful but if by some miracle we get promoted, we're going to be utterly humiliated in the PL. People outside of Leicester think that the Norwich second half is how we've played all season, but those periods are absolutely the anomalies. Last night is what I think of when I think of this team & this season. Boring, pragmatic, playing within ourselves, not clinical, not ruthless, no urgency. Painful.

for a team with literally 10 times the budget of some of the other sides in the league, it has been a ridiculously long time without a very comfortable win. lets hope that changes tonight.

The drop from Ricardo to Hamza is reminiscent of when we used to bring on Demarai Gray for Mahrez

If we have a fully fit XI there is no argument to not start Coady & Vardy in as many games as possible.

I forgot about the two yellow cards thing. Astonishingly incompetent.

please just pretend to try and score again even if you're only joking

Fulham at home on the saturday evening to another London club almost guarentees that this is a Sunday tie I'd have thought

There's also no chance KDH is worth £40m to any other football club other than Leicester. It's clear that he's integral to the very specific way that we play. He's a player with a lot of potential but he's in the peak of his career, he's running out of time to be a CM choice for a top 7 club like Brighton. It's a gamble buying him for that much because at PL level he's by no means the finished article and surely won't be sold again for profit if they pay £40m.

Stephen Clemence & Danny Tiatto operated in a time where we were what, bottom third of the championship? I'm not talking about the quality of player, i'm talking about the relevant expectations of a captain versus the ability of the team. Regularly unavailable for selection, no leadership shown on or off the pitch. Captain of a club who have gone from European football one year to relegation in the next. I'm not sure that's even remotely comparable to Clemence or Tiatto.

As many have said before, worst (relative) captain we've had in my lifetime. Still get triggered by his post relegation interview 'we've all been in there saying goodbye to eachother'. What a twat.

The scary thing about the rest of the campaign is that we’re not clicking properly in the final third yet. We’re going to score 6+ goals in a few games this season, I’m sure of it. We score so many goals and yet our decision making in the final third is the absolute pitts 😂

A lot can happen in 5/6 games, let alone 32... I'm with you, it's obviously very likely that we go up. Given our history of being unpredictable, I'm just erring on the side of caution....!!

Also, as much as I love the positivity of us thinking 'we're only in 2nd/3rd gear right now, imagine when we get going'... there's no guarentee that it does all eventually click. I remember having very similar thoughts after Villa away in 2019 where we beat them 4-1, and the scoreline could've been double figures. The narrative was the same then - 'imagine if we find our shooting boots' etc... and I don't think our performance levels ever got consistently better than Villa away...

Completely agree. I actually felt a big sense of 'Norwich 2019' against QPR at the weekend. Looked like we thought we'd rock up and slap them. Hopefully Enzo gave them an earful at half time and that sparked a change in fortunes in the second half. It's absurd for people to think even promotion is an absolute lock at this stage. There's about 100 points to play for.

The QPR fans hate Ainsworth more than Leicester fans hated Rodgers towards the end. He has truly ruined his legacy at that club, and is totally oblivious to the fact that he probably needs to resign. It would arguably be the most 'ever obliging leicester city' moment if we lose tomorrow

Great, thanks a lot. If the run is Sunday - how many runs would you recommend this week? Really conscious of not having achey legs going into the event.!!

Am running the Royal Parks in LDN this Sunday. First ever HM - very much just trying to get to the finish line. Any tips at all for the build up to it are greatly appreciated!
