Have cancelled. Think it's probably been about 16 consecutive seasons up to this.
-
Wanted Millwall to get autos but they were shite. We're being relegated from an abysmal league.
-
If you drop down but are on a sound financial footing, you can probably just carry a squad which is too good for the division and hop back up as a mid-table Champ team. We are not in that position. Fire sale will get rid of bad characters but will also starve us of quality. I'm expecting us to finish somewhere between mid-table and playoffs.

This is absolutely damning. It took until the second half against Hull for us to finally show fight. If they'd shown an ounce of that all season we'd have likely been fine. Players who couldn't give a shit.

If Nigel wanted it, I think we could do a lot worse. He'd arrest the slide. Could look to move him into a DOF role in a couple of years. I think the replacement needs to be that kind of character at the very least.
-
Whoa we're winning 2-1 here in a must win game to keep a glimmer of hope alive, how do I kill this? I know, James off for Winks. Well done Gary.

Not filling gaping holes in the squad. Not having a competent goalkeeper. Not sacking an underperforming manager soon enough. Not appointment the managerial replacement until a few games have been wasted. It's a good job we did that internal review so that mistakes aren't repeated.

A good business person doesn't react to what is going on today, they react to what they can see coming down the line. They prepare the business for it. The "we promote next season" is damning because we have an owner who cannot see the direction of travel. Blinkers are firmly on. Even with the horrendous running of the club, we could have used 23/24 to take our poison. Get the points deduction hit. Spend little. Reset. Look at Ipswich, knew they were probably going down, built a solid Champ team for when that happened: future planning. Instead our ownership thinks that to be a big club you need to offer big club wages and spend money you don't have. We need the next Pearson to save us. Someone who will have complete control over the footballing side. Sports science. No dickheads. Play for the shirt. Only then will we start to heal.

If you don't feel safe walking round the city you were born in, do something useful and ****ing resign Jon. Top apparently is unable to see it so do it yourself.
-
The email I had back from them suggested the deadline was 29th April at 5pm, but I have seen both dates floating around. Will be cancelling today to make sure anyway.

What's the point of VAR if it's not stepping in there
-
Fun games so far which means this next one is 0-0
-
This Sunderland side are great value.
-
Nobody has said they enjoy Forest winning. Just that it would be funny for Spurs to go down. Sometimes people have different opinions.

Pompey 1-0 LCFC, post-match thread
Number 6 replied to Phil Mitchell's topic in Leicester City Forum
I'm guessing the stats don't bear that out. If there was a genuine advantage in leaving players up you'd see more teams do it. We don't counter attack anyway so it's a moot point for us. -
+ Derby, Stoke, West Brom, Bristol.

Pompey 1-0 LCFC, post-match thread
Number 6 replied to Phil Mitchell's topic in Leicester City Forum
Don't think this is just us. Pretty much every team brings the whole team back to defend corners now. -
Bet we don't have a permanent manager in before pre season starts.
-
I think we'll finally see the player exodus we've needed for a while. Players will be willing to drop wages to avoid playing in league 1 and we'll be forced into selling players below previous unrealistic values. There's no floor to where we can drop if the higher ups keep their blinkers on but I think it's extremely unlikely we drop again (admittedly the same was true 12 months ago).

"Had a good game" 😂😂😂 Come on. -
No, he should have been sacked sooner. I really worry about how a Cifuentes team would have handled the deduction. Think form would have plummeted under him too. On the managerial side we've made the same mistakes we made in 23: hung on to a manager for too long, left a caretaker in charge for vital games, got in a poor manager with no skin in the game beyond a limited number of games. Glad that internal review meant we learnt from all of our mistakes.

I wouldn't mind the happy clappers half as much if they actually did generate a decent atmosphere at home games.
-
Won 1 game since he came in. In that time: Portsmouth: 6 wins West Brom: 3 wins Oxford: 5 wins Blackburn: 3 wins
-
Just to add that we haven't won 3 consecutive games all season.
