Exactly. Unfortunately the club took an age to even get a manager, let alone a marquee signing but there was opportunities in the summer, Fran Kirby for example.

Harder to attract the right player when you are bottom of the league which they will be come January if results go to form. Also a few of the players don’t look happy and in the last 6 months of their contracts, potentially facing a drop down to the Championship. Of the players still out probably only Rantala and O’Brien will make a difference. Petermann struggled in the 2nd half of last season. Tierney has really dropped off, and Draper still too raw to be thrown in. They desperately need another Striker and a leader out there for starters.

Definitely getting worse, I’m heading down to Brighton next week and wondering who next up top, Thibaud, Swaby?! Manager is clueless.

You are right, the excitement would build up and you would still be talking about it at work or school on the Monday. Saturated coverage, too much Football, it’s done to death, I personally don’t care for this XG stat stuff, but the analysis paralysis is in full flow and you’ve got stats people, coaches and all sorts of others telling footballers not to do this and that, over coaching and draining the fun out of it!

I’d rather go to a gig these days, at least you know it’s going to be at least 7/10 if not better. Games barely hold my interest either on TV or in the stadium. There’s no atmosphere, full of tourists at the big clubs, half n half scarf waving entitled fans with their ‘please can I have’ banners. The Football is like Chess. One player dares to take on another, but turns away, passes square, then back. I dare say a lot of people are in a cycle of holding a season ticket purely because they want that emotional attachment to the club, rather than it being something to look forward to, it’s become more about meeting up with a mate for a crap expensive pint, because they’ve done it for the last 10 years, it’s habit and ‘it gets me out of the house’ We live 25 miles away and our short journey home would always be filled with discussion about the game, now there’s just nothing to talk about which says it all about the current state of Football.

Almost 2025 and we’re still talking about Soumare. The guys run about 5km in his entire Leicester career. It feels like he’s been at the club longer than Vardy. Makes Junior Lewis look like Patrick Vieira.

A couple of signed shirts Vardy 17/18 season Shannon O’Brien LCFC women 23/24 And a framed art print of the Champions squad that I bought from an artist somewhere in Hinckley.

I think the premier league in general is quite dull, players having the individuality coached out of them for a start. Wingers rarely beat their man, it’s just not fun. Would even go as far as saying that Vardy is the last great character in the EPL.

Fans have their say on Memberships at ‘Your 90 Minutes’
SK3Blue replied to Foxes_Trust's topic in Leicester City Forum
I don’t see any reason why it should be any greater than 10% of the stadium size so around 3 to 3,500. Unless the club charges a nominal fee of £5 but then the club makes money from the scheme so it’ll never happen. -

I was, but also referring to how over sold the scheme is in general too, they could not satisfy demand for a home ticket if every member wanted one. If people are happy to scrap it out for 60 away tickets with a 0.004% chance of success then good luck to them, my personal opinion is the whole scheme is a farce with very little benefit to the supporter. -

I’d prefer to take it back to a time when it wasn’t oversold. Even with 4000 home tickets or whatever it is, you’ve still only got a 1 in 4 chance of getting one if every member wanted to go. The whole scheme is a farce. -

60 away tickets reserved for 15000 members 😂 the scheme is an utter farce. -

If Cooper was a trainer he would be Dunlop green stripe.

Pretty much spot on, Palace showed how easy it was to play between the lines against us. As poor as West Ham and Villa were, we never troubled them. I’ve been making an effort to watch them pre match warming up, standing nearby at the last two away games and they don’t look a happy bunch. CJ Bott was dropped for the last 2 games which again seems an odd move. The play has regressed, and ok we’ve lost Rantala and Mouchon but we also played a fair amount of last season without Petermann and O’Brien anyway. We finished the game Sunday with Thibaud on the left wing, quite why Nevin wasn’t pushed forward with Thibaud at left back is anyone’s guess.
-
Gave up around the time Rodgers had that outburst after losing 4-1 at Forest in the cup. Amazing to think that some of those players that day are still being paid by the club, Ward, Soumare, Thomas, Vestergaard. Total disconnect between the club and fans now, reinforced further by scandalous out of touch ticket prices and dismal displays with Cooper in the dugout and Rudkin still in work.
-
No idea on Draper. Petermann is her knee, O’Brien is ankle, Rantala is still in leg brace. Miquel said 2 months but I initially heard it was 4. Agreed, would have been a great opportunity for Draper with these long term absentees.

Not creating anything at all though, I get using Mace and Cayman as a 9 just robs Peter to pay Paul as it were, they are important players in the build, however Goodwin, Cain, Momiki, Rose and Chossonotte should be capable of getting more than 1 shot away in total with Cayman and Mace behind them. I do feel it’s the midfield that lacks, Pelgander isn’t going to figure, Tierney has been poor since that armband went, age is catching up on Janice and Takarada ran backwards v Brighton. Mace does a great job but that midfield is now as light as the defence was last season, and is far too defensive minded.

Hmmm it does say she’s in charge of all operations on the women’s side. From a fans point of view the club haven’t offered subsidised travel this time, so away supporter numbers haven’t increased, attendances at home are very low and KP don’t seem to have any incentive such as like Brighton offered the other week, any season ticket holder could bring a friend for free to the next game. No money has been spent on the playing side, it was half a dozen out, half dozen in, can’t imagine we paid out any fees for the French girls as they were most likely on youth terms. Mace and Ale free, Kees from Leuven and Swaby who appeared out of nowhere. It all feels very flat, and on the playing side it’s regressed after Kirk’s departure, women still aren’t backing women’s Football in any great number, but at Leicester it just feels like we’re ticking a box right now.

Everton will always be in Liverpool’s shadow. Scousers are angry at everything from the Royals to the Sun Newspaper. As for us, a lot of the angry mob can’t afford to go so come to places like FoxesTalk to vent. There’s also a whole new generation of the happy family of four, fans since 2016, that would invite the likes of Rudkin and Whelan to Tarquins or Jemimas 9th birthday party.

I understand we aren’t going to unearth the next superstar however 2 goals in 7 games and a bench full of kids says it’s worth a look.

Who does?
