He asked to go off due to a knock. Genuinely never seen a striker on a hat trick wanting to come off.

We've scored more than all of our rivals. Much more. The issue is conceding but in Rowett's 7 games we have picked up 2 clean sheets so that's a start. Not that I'm confident per say but some of the comments are wild given how bad Portsmouth and Oxford are too. We have three/four games that are winnable while both Portsmouth and Oxford have tougher games in that time and also have to play each other.

I agree, Portsmouth and Oxford. Think we will stay up

People are forgetting how bad Portsmouth are. They still have to go to Middlesbrough, Norwich and Coventry, and have Ipswich at home too. I think they will end up dropping.

I see a lot of people say this but we did it in 14/15. It's not impossible. And people will say that team was different etc but at that time, back then, we were hopeless and people couldn't see where the next win was coming from. If you go back and look at the threads from back then they are similar to now. The next 3/4 games are vital and, more importantly, winnable. In fact I would say every game up until the Millwall and Hull back to back games are winnable. I do believe we can do it, I'm clinging onto that hope now.

So do I. We will stay up.

Cheers, I did think we weren't as high as 14th. Plus with the points deduction, it was strange to suggest he has taken us from 14th to our current position.

Midlands are massive. Just Stoke and West Brom holding us back.

Not sure it's brain dead, it's quite clever in the midst of much criticism, it's just something else that certain people will back to use against those that don't back them. I don't use Facebook/Twitter anymore but I wouldn't be surprised if there were comments about "this is why they're the best owners". Hopefully a lot of people will see through it but I haven't got my hopes up for that. Agree with the last part though.

I remember Southampton being decent but I can’t remember them being 3 points off 4th. Would've been incredible if they made CL that season too. Some of the players they have had over the past decade, Van Dijk, Mane, Tadic, Wanyama etc, they are as much of an example as us as how quickly it can go wrong losing good players and buying rubbish. Ironically we went on to buy some of their rubbish

I mean, I agree with you, but I have nothing else to cling too.

Were we 14th when he came in? Genuienly. Can’t remember. Also I didn’t say he was a great manager or anything like that, why do people seem to drop to sarcasm on here so much. You said he hasn’t had much of an impact but two clean sheets must be an impact given we couldn’t keep them at all. Appointing Rowett was always going to be defensively minded first, I don’t think anybody expected us to be free flowing. Don’t have a clue what PPG is. All I know is he walked into a mess and has had to play against some of the best teams in the division so far. QPR, granted, was ridiculously poor and only the game I was angry with during Rowett’s small time here. I still believe he will keep us up, even if you laugh at it.

Aside from the fact he's got us 2 clean sheets in 7 games. When was the last time we had that, September?

I don't disagree with you. I hate people, our own fans, putting our own club down but those sort of people were bought by King Power years ago they genuinely believe we owe everything to King Power. Very weird. Forest don't play down their achievements, why would they, but we have this attitude of "they live in the past". Despite the fact we now do it playing videos before every home game and people standing clapping it. Unreal behaviour. Forest fanbase act like a big club, our fanbase act like a club that were lucky to be in the top flight.

Hope Gary enjoyed Lisbon. He can enjoy more time there after he's kept us up too.

It's been like this for years though, it's not a new thing. I've moved now but where I used to be I had people behind me that used to talk about work during the game. There's always been people that "meet up", so to speak, for a game and it's not just at Leicester. Football now is marketed/targeted at a variety of people, the passionate fan is not a reflection of a football ground. That's why there's so many day tripper people everywhere. Every club is the same but we only see it more because we support Leicester and don't go to other clubs games.

"The next chapter"

Tbh I've been plenty of times - I think it's my most visited away ground - with no issues. But for me you can see why there have been issues. Looking forward to another visit next Monday as always..

Tbf teams do need refreshing regardless of success, I think we did keep the same team for too long and it reached it's limits. The issue is we bought rubbish players to replace them (Daka, Vestergaard, Soumare all came in that summer for a total of nearly £60m!). From the 11 that started at Forest that game I think only Rodgers had signed 1 (Justin) as, technically, Tielemans was here before but on loan. That game was a disgrace, Rodgers was probably right to call it out but what he got wrong was then persisting with them the following season. That summer we only bought in Faes (another waste of money) and Smithies despite the fact we lost Schmeichel which was massive. Persisting with Ward was relegation there and then. Those two summers were awful. Mind you, even way back after we won the league our transfer activity was awful.

Not doubting it but the state of that stand is a joke. There's been too many incidents, even before Liverpool. Needs changing.

This was the one. Look at at the state of those signings, all shit.

I've tried to block that season out. Aside from winning at Forest, Peterborough away and everything after was horrific. The play offs were horrific too. I just looked and we won 3 games in 17. I remember how bad some of those games were - Wednesday H, Charlton H, Millwall H, Barnsley A (I think that was the one where Marshall lost it)...

I've been to Hillsborough many times and it doesn't get better. Those tunnels are too small and a danger at full time or if you're later getting in prior to kick off (plus for those in the lower tier there is only one). As I said earlier in the thread I don't understand how it hasn't been replaced, or at least changed.

Both tiers got reduced as a result.
