I can never wish us relegated, just can't do it, but we have to make a lot of changes at the end of this season, Top has to be brutal and decisive, with the whole footballing model torn up and a better one put in place. We found the way to compete with the best before, other teams are doing it, but we can't dig our heads in the sand. Because the powers that be are all akin to Pearson's ostriches right now.

I'm worried even they will end up ahead of us by the end of the season.

To be fair one of those away wins was a given.

Can we try Hermansen Woyo - Faes - Okoli - Kristiansen Ndidi - Soumare Reid - Khannouss-Ayew Vardy Then make sure Cody, Vestegaard and Thomas are among the subs?

It is not our proudest record. Speaks volumes about where we are as a club.... but will anything change???

Agree its time for him to go. What went wrong though is we paid £25 million for Skipp when we should have spent £3million to bring Corberan here instead of Cooper. And this isn't with the benefit of hindsight, we all saw he was a better appointment at the time. We may still have a rubbish squad, but it was a squad Maresca got producing results last season and all we have to do is come higher than Ipswich and Southampton who we beat last season, and one other team. (And if Man City ever get the heavy punishment some say they might, just getting higher than these 2 again would be fine.) However the way we're playing the only question is do we beat Southampton to the bottom?

Faily sure this will have been posted somewhere, but I'm sick (not just from the result). We are the mighty Leicester City. Still setting new records even when playing badly.

The Pleat era is also when I started taking more of an interest in football. It's been worse than now plenty of times, but we have to look at where we've got to compared to back then which makes now a more bitter pill to swallow.

Hang on lads. Get rid of Ruud, and appoint Andy King! He's here already. Caretaker for the rest of the season!!! Okay that's where I am now. That depressed I'm just saying things.

I'm hoping Rudkin follows him out the door.

I'm sure he could have picked up some points in the last 10 games.

Give it my Nan.. She's been dead for over a decade, but at least we'll save some money in wages until we can appoint someone with some tactical nous!

Hope you miss a great comeback. Can't see it happening mind.

I've never been David Moyes biggest fan, but what I would t give for a time machine and hindsight.

Yep. Played on us. Each week. And we keep coming back for more.

Not at all. Happy to be proven wrong though.... 🤞

Arghhhh. Apart from the enforced change at right back it's going to be the same team that we keep playing and losing with isn't it???? Even when we've been awful in the past I've always stayed optimistic and seen a way to smile through the bad times. Rodgers tenure changed something, the last season he was in charge I saw a team that shouldn't implode. This wasn't like it was in the past when we yo-yoed our way between leagues. And right now I'm almost apathetic. I've missed 2 games this season, and I wasn't that bothered, (especially when I saw the scoreline). That's not like me. But damn it, we need to show we want to win by recognising we need to change the tactics and personal. Yes we're woefully weak across the squad, but I still believe there's a starting 11 in there that can compete in enough games to help us scrape over the line. But we have to act now (and it shouldn't have taken this long).

My apologies to Rita Mae Brown, but regardless of who said it, but Ruud clearly hasn't heard it.

Surely he's got to change something.... I'll admit on evidence thus far he's trying again and again with the same dross that keeps ... surprisingly producing the same kind of result, but surely eventually some part of him will say ... we can keep playing this way and lose, or ... try something new and hope for a better result. If not, Leicester could appoint me. I'd work for half of Ruud's wages, and at least try new tactics to find a way to win a match.

We have 4 centre backs all more comfortable playing in a back 3. I don't like back 3s but at least try it to sort out our defensive woes.

Swap Ayew for Buonanotte, and play him and Khannouss in the hole behind the striker, and I'd still start Vardy over Daka.

Was going to suggest just this. As I've said recently in other posts, I don't like 3 at the back, but our centre backs are all centre backs who are used to playing in a back 3 (probably because other managers realise they can't cope in a back four). Maybe we need to adjust our tactics to match our players strengths. Also I'd much rather have Khannouss and Buonanotte on the pitch together than Ayew and Reid in the team. I think Kristiansen will play better as a wing back than full back too.

Not sure how that's relevant in this thread on RVN but hey.

Let's take the positives from the match: We're not Southampton.
