The worst season in our history
LeePhilpottsBaldSpot replied to when_you're_smiling's topic in Leicester City Forum
Will still be the same team on Tuesday. I really hope the entire squad put in transfer requests and somebody else is stupid enough to sign them. -
When Hamza made his debut (I think against Newcastle during an injury crisis), it was quite clear the other players were not passing the ball to him as he wasn't ready for the first team. He's regressed since then.
-
I'll admit it - I wanted him (if Pearson wasn't able to do the job). Obviously I got that call completely wrong. He's managed the club exactly the same as the failures who came before him. Makes me question if our 'managers' are even in charge - feels like they're told they have to play the 'Leicester' way (despite it being found out years ago and not having the players to do it).
-
100% - this happened to me loads this season on this forum. I am dumbfounded why different managers and so many fans have been committed to a clearly failing system.

Hmm... I think your memory is being slightly selective. Martin O'Neill's book has loads of rants about our fans being extremely negative - even when things were going well. The last game at Filbert Street was ruined for me because a guy behind me dedicated the whole match to giving Muzzy Izzet abuse, because he was expected to be leaving after the relegation. I had a go back at him at one point... a grown man being told to shut up by a kid aged about 15! Similarly, in one of the Champion's League games there was a fan constantly on Mahrez's back for being "greedy". The most skilful player we've ever had, playing at a stage he was instrumental in getting us to. Unbelievable... The only period of real success is when they drowned out the moaning with clackers

League One - Who manages us?
LeePhilpottsBaldSpot replied to Muzzy_no7's topic in Leicester City Forum
The obvious answer is the right answer. Nigel Pearson with Wes Morgan as his assistant. -
None of us know what happens behind closed doors. Grown adults creating storylines in their head as if it's Hollyoaks Top's only action after putting the club up for sale should be appointing external auditors to do a root and branch review of what's gone wrong off and on the pitch and get rid of the dross.

Home and Away Support/Atmosphere
LeePhilpottsBaldSpot replied to FoxesTalker's topic in Leicester City Forum
Obviously in terms of accountability far more goes to the board, players and past managers than the supporters. Regardless, fans have a bigger role to play when the team is shit. We need to create a siege mentality, us vs the world. Many aren't playing it, and prefer to make the mentality 'us vs the players'. If you try to encourage / motivate the team you get called a "happy clapper" or "KPFC" by others. I know it’s really ****ing frustrating and venting seems like the only outlet, but I’d rather see in-game atmospheres that encourage struggling players rather than the atmosphere spiralling into a contagious echo chamber of misery. There's a difference between criticising all that is wrong with the club after a bad performance and booing subs coming on and chanting during a match against academy players clearly short on confidence. Sometimes it feels like lots of our ‘fans’ hate the club more than they support it. -
Sheff Weds 1-1 LCFC - Full Time
LeePhilpottsBaldSpot replied to StanSP's topic in Leicester City Forum
Been saying this for ages. We should be playing 5-3-2 - an extra centre back and an extra striker to compensate for the others not being good enough. Those who booed Ayew coming on are doing their bit to get us relegated. Loyal supporters my arse. -

Andy Hughes (set piece coach)
LeePhilpottsBaldSpot replied to mod hero's topic in Leicester City Forum
We've been so, so weak defending corners for so, so long -
The silver lining with Daka is he doesn't shy away. It would be nice if he didn't mis-hit clear chances, but at least he comes back for another try. (I fully recognise that is nowhere near good enough for what we need, but still probably the best in a very bad small bunch of strikers we have)
-
He beat Bristol City. I think he's stabilised us well, but now he needs to show he can turn it up a couple of notches. Need to turn the draws into wins for at least 2 of the next 3.
-
He looks very poor - especially on crosses. Part of me thinks he could still come good and it could be a short term confidence thing after behind thrown in behind a calamitous defence. Regardless, Begovic should be starting for the remainder of the season.

Preston (h) – April, 3rd
LeePhilpottsBaldSpot replied to MC Prussian's topic in Leicester City Forum
Who do you want to see play on Friday? -
Sorry but Perez was a much better signing. Perez started every game of our FA Cup winning run and was instrumental in the final goal. He also scored a hat-trick in the 0-9. I'd argue neither of those things would have happened if Dennis Praet played instead of Ayoze Perez. He delivered a hell of a lot more than Daka, who also joined when we were good lest we forget.
-
Daka is nowhere near good enough but I've never disliked him personally - he tries. He doesn''t hide or shy away in games. I've got a weird feeling he's going to score the goal that keeps us up...

Watford 0-0 LCFC, post-match thread
LeePhilpottsBaldSpot replied to Phil Mitchell's topic in Leicester City Forum
Good point and four extremely winnable games to come (though we've picked up no points from similar games recently). Hopefully our players come motivated and focused, and the fans do their bit to encourage them. Preston (h), S.Wed (a), Swansea (h), Portsmouth (a). Minimum 9 points. -
I genuinely thought he was 21/22... 😆 I think Stolarczyk is poor though tbf he does have the worst defence we've ever had in front of him. I'm sure he'd look better with more competent defenders - but there's no evidence so far that he'd be competent enough.
-
We have to try something different. If your two centre backs are shit you add a third (even if also shit) to help them out.
