Oh yeah what do bookies know, people opinions on forums like yourself hold much more weight clearly. Half the people on here thought we would get relegated from the championship, ok mate time to turn off.

Looks at the opposition listed in the games. for one it’s not 16 different teams the only bollocks is what you repeatedly spout in different directions. You said no one could touch which again is bollocks, when the opposition has improved defeats have come that my friend not up for debate. what has Leeds run for to do with anything? I’m highlighting on the basis of a 16 game run you seem to think we are the greatest thing since sliced bread.

Bookies favourites not sure what you are reading

No one got near us? Presuming you are talking about the second time we lost to boro it was a very fortuitous run in terms of the quality of the teams we played. how many games were against top half of the table opposition? When the quality of the opposition improved, Ipswich 2 draws, Coventry defeat, plus 94th minute winner against WBA on the run you mentioned above certainly wouldn’t suggest no one got near us just like how the run ended when the level of opposition improved.

Capable of beating any team? apart from the ones that we haven’t been able to beat Home and away. Leeds, Ipswich, Boro,

Did we even pump any balls long

The run from dec when we were 17 points ahead of them 🤔 in those 13 games they have conceded 3

Millwall away will be difficult, they had taken 10 points from 12 under Harris before today

He got over 10 one year in the prem

I think the point is nearly all prem teams have decent pacey strikers with better goals to minutes ratios than those of the majority of champ teams, how many times this season has other sides poor finishing been noted and we have been fortunate to get points

Go and read the Vestegaard thread we will be fine, (after the Bournemouth win) back to reality.

Doing well for the confidence

Is sterling gonna be up against Choudary

Hopefully Daka can score against some decent opposition and give him a confidence boost going into the remainder of the season

Maybe that’s the thought now, but at the start of the season people certainly thought we had the best squad tipping players like nacho to score a ridiculous amount of goals at this level.

Next to the washing machine

Jamie Vardy is a phenomenon – and he is showing no signs of slowing down Rob Tanner In the early days of his Leicester Citytenure, Enzo Maresca could have been forgiven for wondering what he had inherited when it came to one member of his squad. Here was a player who wasn’t the best trainer and refused to do weights sessions with the rest of his team-mates — but when it came to matchday, he was primed and very much still the talisman. Maresca had played with some of the greats of the game, such as Zinedine Zidane and Alessandro Del Piero at Juventus, but now he was managing a player the like of whom he had never encountered before: Jamie Vardy. Leicester’s squad had to adapt quickly to Maresca’s style of play but, equally, the Italian has had to adapt to his now 37-year-old striker’s unique approach. GO DEEPER Maresca: 'It was time to rebuild Leicester and restore reminders of Ranieri's success' After nearly 12 years with Leicester, Vardy has a tailor-made training regime, which has undeniably been a factor in his longevity. Vardy doesn’t train rigorously and does his own conditioning work, which doesn’t include lifting heavy weights. It’s an outlook that would extend to when he was on England duty. Occasionally, Vardy misses training entirely, with his focus solely on being ready for matchday. Following his game-winning goal at Sunderland last Tuesday, for example, he didn’t train at all ahead of the trip to Hull City on Saturday — yet he scored both Leicester’s goals in their 2-2 draw at the MKM Stadium. Vardy celebrates scoring against Hull last weekend (George Wood/Getty Images) His pre-match routine of three Red Bulls, an espresso and a ham and cheese omelette hasn’t changed either. Maresca, however, has never interfered or even questioned how Vardy’s approach works. It probably wouldn’t suit any other player, but it works for him and the Leicester manager knows if it isn’t broken there is no need to fix it. All of Maresca’s predecessors who have worked with Vardy have quickly come to the same conclusion: to get the best out of the striker, he must be treated differently from the rest of the squad. After all, he is unique and knows better than anyone what he needs to do to be ready to perform. None of this means that he slacks off, though. Vardy has plenty of equipment at home to ensure he recovers between games. His use of a cryo chamber and oxygen tent is widely known, and he also uses his swimming pool for hydrotherapy. Yet, while many players are increasingly hiring external fitness and conditioning experts to better prepare them for their return to pre-season training after the summer break, Vardy spends the post-season hiatus on his sofa, enjoying a few beers. If any fitness experts scoff at Vardy’s approach, then the evidence that it works lies in his numbers — and the fact he is still playing at a high standard in his late thirties (when most players are well past their peak and are thinking of retirement). Vardy has no intention of retiring. In fact, he is enjoying his best Leicester season yet in terms of his minutes-per-goal average. But his impact on Maresca’s side goes beyond just his goal tally. His presence also has a big influence on those around him, providing confidence and leadership. He has been the captain this season in the matches he has started. In the early games last summer, Maresca was rotating between Vardy and Kelechi Iheanacho as his lone striker, then Patson Daka stepped in for the longest consecutive run of starts in the role. This has led to Vardy only starting 12 times in the 2023-24 Championship, but Leicester’s win ratio when he is in the line-up stands at 75 per cent (they have won nine, drawn two and lost one of those games). The team’s overall win percentage in the league this season is 70. And with nine league matches remaining, it seems Maresca will lean on Vardy even more to get the club over the line and back in the Premier League. It means the forward’s recovery between games is even more important. The pressure will build over the coming weeks as the four-way fight for the division’s two automatic promotion spots reaches its climax. It will be a new experience for most of Maresca’s men — but not for Vardy. He was part of the Leicester side who won the Championship title in 2013-14, and he thrives on that sort of pressure. Wherever Leicester go, Vardy is the target of the opposition fans’ taunts, which are usually about his wife. Those supporters do it to try to knock him off his stride… yet it seems to have the opposite effect and fires him up even more. GO DEEPER Wagatha Christie uncovered: the full story of Rebekah Vardy vs Coleen Rooney Usually after Vardy scores, he stands and stares at the other team’s fans behind the goal, soaking up their ire until the referee has to tell him to return to the halfway line. On one hand, Vardy is the Leicester player opposition supporters love to hate, but deep down many of them would love him to be playing for them. He’s not only a top striker, but he is also the working-class boy who — had he not made it as a player — would probably be in the stands himself, giving a player facing his team some abuse. Vardy is in the final months of his contract and there appears to be a desire on both sides for him to continue at the club. But if he does leave this summer — and it is unclear yet how the impact of any possible profit and sustainability sanctions could affect Leicester’s contract and transfer decisions — there will be many clubs interested in signing him for a year. GO DEEPER Leicester facing charges over alleged financial rules breach As the former Manchester City and Argentina striker Sergio Aguero said in the documentary series All Or Nothing — as he admired the Vardy shirt he had requested for his son Benjamin — the Yorkshireman has been, and continues to be, “a phenomenon”.

I’m sure they were fully aware, and it was more of a case of taking a calculated punt, ie not spend in the final season and keep youri and a squad that was considered too good to go down after finishing 5th 5th and 8th. Then after such an appalling start they pulled the trigger in January in the hope there was an upturn in form to maintain their top flight status.

I posted on another thread, they clearly thought that the well wouldn’t dry up with regards to selling top talent every season. ultimately a club the size of ours majorly fcked up by losing out on a fee for Youri and Soyuncu, with the latter being frozen out by the midget clearly not helping balance the books. “After Leicester sold Wesley Fofana, chief executive Susan Whelan. reassured “As we look to continue to compete with more established opponents, profits from player trading and continued successful recruitment will continue to feature prominently in our strategy,”

Did you have 4 points going into the last 5 games?

Norwich have dropped 10 points from there last 30

Think Norwich and Southampton will be tougher games, don’t forget we have a better away record than home

4 points from 15 not good enough

Justin and Chowdary like their breathing out their arse holes

Fell over as per
