Had time to think about this one and now I don’t really know. Are we damned if we do and damned if we don’t? As in playing our 1st team? haven’t the players got us into this pickle? they should be the ones to yank themselves out of it. If they could vote how many would say a resounding yes to playing? KDH would be top of that list. He is one of us and was livid losing on Friday. He will wanna put this right asap! I get the worries of incurring injuries and tiring key players out but right now our confidence is dented no doubt. The dreaded 80th minute is like a curse. Many of these players will be fearing self destruct no matter how well they are playing in the game. Similar to last season as soon we conceded a corner kick you can sense impending doom. Really bizarre stuff. Like some mass psychotic event envelopes the players. Enzo has to find a way to banish that hoodoo or we are gonna bottle this season entirely. It is a real problem now

Luke Thomas to Middlesbrough until the end of the season
cruzFOX replied to DZ-LCFC's topic in Leicester City Forum
Young Luke has to keep at it. His career has not panned out as well as others from the academy but he should still feel lucky. Many never get as far as he has. He just has to find the right coach & club to become a better player. It’s not too late. A case of too much too fast. -
He will be rusty when he cones back people. No way is he flying out the blocks plus the worry of other small muscle injuries too. Did we over play him I wonder? How did he get such a bad long term injury in the first place?

This will be a Laurence Dallaglio moment
cruzFOX replied to Paninistickers's topic in Leicester City Forum
We really are a weird team aren’t we but that’s why we love it so much. Never a dull moment and all that jazz. Leicester never does things the easy way. Here’s my premonition based on my gut and that is we will clinch promotion and top spot but it will be close. This team will find its bottle and get over the line (just in time). -
I hope so I really do! after last seasons calamity I don’t think I can survive another collapse this season. must win - must get promoted
-
I’ve seen enough and all roads are pointing to a psychological issue with our players. I’m not an expert but I hope some of you are and can chime in. Didn’t we have a few under Pearson & Ranieri? Any thoughts?
-
We all see it it’s CONFIDENCE! he looks upto the heavens, closes his eyes and head sinks. Those are the cues Enzo sees and off he goes. is it good coaching? Who am I to tell Enzo but I’m a grassroots coach snd everything in the handbook says I should not pull him out. It only reinforces negativity and further damages the players confidence. Mavs needs a combination of players rallying around him and his own belief system strengthening. He wasn’t having a stinker that’s the irony. I think he’s too hard on himself. A player like him needs to thrive on freedom of stress and worry which then boosts his confidence. Who remembers early in the season when he missed a 1-on-1 with the keeper? 2nd chance he gets alert under much more pressure now plus steals it from Vardy before going onto bury it! WE NEED THAT FEARLESS STEPHY BACK.
-
This game has come at a bad time for us. We really don’t need another spanking. hopefully Bournemouth were watching last nite and will field a weaker team. (listen to me - afraid of Bournemouth ffs. We were a solid premier league team not too long ago)
-
I’m baffled by this kid. He looked on fire beginning of the season had an injury and now looks bang average in every dept. last nite we needed Vardy and albrighton again at the end lol. Some old Skool cool heads to see the game out. Our young guns are too fragile under pressure.

Leeds United (A) 3-1 - Post-Match Thread
cruzFOX replied to lnkstern's topic in Leicester City Forum
Absolutely! Leicester hands down better team playing the better football. We made Leeds look one dimensional and ineffective. some said they were not as good as in the first game I disagree - they were the same. first game we made them look good with our sleepy start. This game we made them look like headless chickens chasing shadows. What happened is we either got bored, lost focus, tired, let the pressure get to us or all the above. Why? Maybe past mistakes comes ba k to haunt us and affect confidence? The 1-0 lead is like a curse for these players. Unless they can get another 2 or 3 goals they simply cannot hold on. -
I’ve slept on it and today like many like minded folks I’m not gonna hammer Daka anymore. Yes he should have buried that shot straight past smellier to the right. I’m sure he did not sleep at all with that action replay in his head all nite long. I want to praise him for his great assist, endless running, keeping Leeds defenders in the back foot. Am I still angry? Of course but more at the collective for dropping their pants in the last 10 min. Vesty had a similar exceptional game but lost the plot at the end - he should be hammered too. McAteer comes in and does sod all in fact made the team worse by half arsed tackles, poor passing & no aggression. He’s supposed to be an ‘impact’ sub. Mavadidi played well but his miss rattled his brain and he dropped off after that. His body language said it all! I was literally screaming at the telly saying cmon lad keep your head in the game you can get the next one but the belief was dwindling probably why Enzo yanked him. Fatawu had so many 1-on-1 chances that with his blistering pace & trickery could easily have got on goal but he was afraid to. He needs to watch garnacho at manu for motivation. as for Faes boy he has a real knack of scoring on goals in big games! Is it just bad luck? This team needs sports psychologists now! before anymore damage is done please. the premier league will be like this every week. This time currently can’t handle pressure mentally. They are folding like a deck of cards over and over. Is it a crisis? No not yet but it’s getting close to if something isn’t done about it.

EFL Officiating Abomination Journal 23/24
cruzFOX replied to Trelleh's topic in Leicester City Forum
The Ricardo tackle makes me laugh out of anger. Clean as a whistle slide, ahead of the player, cleats down, back heel block Contact with the ball, wins it, Leeds player 2 seconds later trips over Ricardo. What on earth did this ref see that made him go over to Ricardo and give him a straight yellow? I’m sorry that’s incompetence not even a mistake. He is not good at his job and we suffer for it. Will we get an apology from pgmol? -
Leeds United (A) 3-1 - Post-Match Thread
cruzFOX replied to lnkstern's topic in Leicester City Forum
In fairness this team has ability and craft and guile to beat all the top teams in this league. We just can’t seem to manage the game properly ie converting early chances to goals cutting out the possibility of any comebacks. I swear it’s like Leicester is fighting themselves in these games not the opposition. Or we are losing games rather than the opposition winning them. Gotta be a mental issue. I’m not having tiredness even though it’s a factor but Leeds ran a lot and it didn’t stop them coming for us at the end. Where’s the courage the bravery gone? -
Yes yes this is our Arsenal moment. players owe to themselves and us to show us they are not weak! Right now they are weak - if the opposition presses them they crumble that is weak. We are both ruthless and we need to be that. Finish our chances and suppress the other team.
-
Daka simply has to be putting these chances away. It’s just way too many now. when it happens in big important games where we need those goals to take the advantage it’s essential. If Daka wants to be more than he is this is a pivotal moment for him to figure it out as only he can. Maybe all our players need the old sports psychologists back as something is not right and we are in real danger of blowing this season if they allow it. They have to snap out of it and finish this season off. too much is at stake
-
we have quite literally shat our pants. Why was the point of all that effort. it beggars belief we are a weak weak minded team.
-
WTF was that?
-
Maddsens distribution has been a bit poor tonite
-
Stephy is too hard on himself. he knows ehh not had his best game but he can't feel sorry for himself. he's gotta work harder.
-
Bring on the cannon!
-
I like Daka for the positive work he does i really do but he cannot must not be missing the goal with these kinds of chances. At this level it is criminal. There has been just too many if late that he needs talking to seriously.These are massive moments in the game we are wasting away. Kill them off lester FFS!
-
stephy had one job to do there. just place it lad. What a peach of a pass from KDH. If that was KDB commentators would be coming all over themselves.
-
Gotta be carful we don't get sucked into leeds headless chicken run smash & grab game plan. Need another goal to sucker punch them again make them think twice. c'mon lads!
-
Need mavadidi and fatawa to be absolutely on fire in this game. BEAST MODE!
