  1. Don’t be ashamed. Because…
  2. Speak for yourself! I haven’t shithoused other fans. Much. 😬
  3. Stay off social media, we are getting absolutely pwned by other fans. I expected it from Notts Forest, Derby and Cov fans but we are getting from all over the place. Ipswich fans, even fkin Brighton fans.
  4. He’s clearly terrible at his job. We look like conceding every time our opponents get an attacking set piece and we look like conceding every time we get an attacking set piece.
  5. Deal with facts mate, no ‘I think’ needed. This season’s stats both at Leicester and from the club Rowett was sacked from before he was remarkably recruited by Leicester City show that he is not even as good as Cifuentes. Cifuentes’ PPG at LCFC 1.32 - Rowett’s PPG at LCFC 0.9 Rowett’s PPG at Oxford 0.9 Bloomfield PPG at Oxford 1.12 We have a poor squad but we have a worse manager. Recruiting him has helped Oxford potentially survive and has pretty much guaranteed our relegation.
  6. I know 🤣that is why I said ‘play two 8’s, the double pivot hasn’t worked all season .’ 🤔🤨🥴
  7. We had a better manager than him already in charge!
  8. Ultimately he’s not that arsed. Bags of ability but he’s just here for some experience and he’s back at Man City in May. Lacks the intensity and the fight needed in the situation we are in.
  9. The most damning thing to say about Rowett is that he is worse than Cifuentes. That’s a statistical fact. Sacked by Oxford ffs, what did the club expect?
  10. In Rowett’s last 5 games he is averaging 0.6 points a game….
  11. What about switching Fatawu to the left and giving a chance to the more direct style of Richards on the right? Monga hasn’t done much when he’s started.
  12. I’d bring Vestergaard back in. He’s been our best defender this season (low bar I know) and his distribution is significantly better than Okoli’s and Lascelles’. I’d even risk Lascelles alongside Vesty, our best defence had two slow centre backs in Wes and Huth and these two are the best we have in the squad this year.
  13. Rowett needs to perform wonders in the last 5 games to have a better points per game than Cifuentes. 🥴🤣
  14. BDCR has been a real disappointment. Goals are great and he’s one of our better finishers but remember he’s not a number 9, he’s a midfielder and his involvement in general play hasnt been enough. He’s too often anonymous and part of the reason we are out worked and outplayed. Remember this guy was signed as an experienced Premier League player (as reflected in his wage), not as a Championship squad option. The fact he doesn’t ever start despite our league position in the 2nd tier says it all.
  15. My dad has cancelled his season ticket. I’ve kept mine and my lads but my dad has had enough. It’s a sad moment really, it’s been our thing for many years and whilst my lad has started going as he’s become old enough it won’t be the same. This is all on the club, on Top and Rudkin. Their prolonged terrible mismanagement, the prolonged lack of respect shown to the fans, the terrible, joyless football by overpaid players not putting in the effort, the erosion of the togetherness that we had when Vichai was alive, the loss of fan hope and ultimately the ending of our family tradition. All things must pass I know but what a sad way to end it. 😔
  16. If we get relegated Rowett needs to be binned. If we somehow stay up Rowett needs to be binned.
  17. Terrible appointment. Why the club thought a manager who had failed so recently at Oxford was going to inspire our players god knows. Same set up every match. Obsessed with certain players who clearly aren’t good enough. Same late substitutions. Same delusional post match chat. Ignores the youth. Averaging 1 point a game.
  18. I’ve already stated that Skipp (and Winks) are not helped by the manager’s inability to change his formation. From a footballing perspective Skipp has shown us very little in his time here other than in one game.
  19. I actually think he comes across as a nice lad off the pitch but in a Leicester shirt he hides in pressure situations and plays wall passes in pressure situations. He’s a second slower to react when he does have the ball at his feet so loses the ball a lot for someone who doesn’t really play with any risk. He’s also not got the composure to finish when he does find himself in the higher 8 position. I agree it’s a crap team and within that it’s a weak midfield with a manager who is locked into one formation (and maybe that’s not helping Skipp or Winks) but I just think midfielders need to dominate play, and I don’t ever see Skipp doing that, creatively or defensively.
  20. Play two 8’s! The double pivot hasn’t worked all season
  21. These willy pullers will rock up and play total football when they are already relegated
  22. Nope. Oliver Skipp is the modern day Gareth Williams. The game passes him by. Winks plays on the half turn, plays the ball forwards, has some creativity. Skipp has no creativity and isn’t good enough defensively to get away with that lack of creativity. The very worst thing about Skipp is he hides from the ball.
