5000-1 chance

Thought I’d get the ball rolling…

I’m gunning for Lost World Demolition

Leicester is a mere shadow of Coalville’s former self

Yes - and the irony is that ten years ago LCFC were the team with the lowest wages bill to lift the Premier League trophy.

On the upside, we won’t have to play Coventry again for a long, long, long time.

We need to prove to ourselves we can do it under our own steam

Clean sheet and a valuable (what’s the) point… 😞

We need Frank up front feeding balls into the box.

I predict a much needed 1-2 win for us. Daka and James on the scoreboard.

It will be a refresh in the sense that most of the players will be different, with a new manager, and no money.

My eldest starts his GCSEs next year, he was still in nappies when we last kept a clean sheet.

I think that’s the issue. So many players are out of contract at the end of the season, many on very high wages. They know those contracts won’t be renewed, so what difference does it make to them? They have probably seen Wout Faes playing against PSG in the Champions League and think, why not me? Free agent in the summer, and then over to Ligue 1 or Serie A. It’s a pay cut but so what? They made a mint while they could, they can play their football wherever. No commitment to the club, to the city, to the fans. Nothing to play for, so why play? Ironically it’s the young loanees who are busting a gut for us, trying to catch the eye of their respective managers for next season. I realise I’m not speaking for all the players all the time - I mean, what do I know? - but it’s the solid impression they are giving as they walk around the pitch and watch on as the opposition actually try, and actually win, against ‘star players’. Im resigned to League One. So long as we can stay solvent, maybe under new owners, we might retain some of the promising youngsters and maybe pick up some up and coming players who want to play for a ‘big club’, with a manager with something to prove, and maybe we can make a tilt for the Championship within a season or two, and start all over again. Rant over…

Worth pointing out that if it wasn’t for that 6 point deduction we’d be… 19th…😑

Promotion in 2-3 seasons if we play our cards right. Back to the Championship, I mean.
