Really not sure whether this is a good appointment or not. I am however glad they have rolled the dice and not stuck with Cooper

There is clearly a fighting spirit in the team that, if the players weren't with the manager, would not be there as consistently as it is. He's doing better in terms of results than many of us feared. There comes a point where those of us who are actually prepared to change opinions based on evidence start giving him some credit. Im not saying I'm fully convinced, but hes clearly doing somethings right.

I know its a friendly so i'm not going to take to much from it, but I've got to be honest with you davieG, cant defend and cant score doesnt sound like general play is ok. Its a version of enzo ball thats less effective and considerable more boring...which to be frank takes some doing

I agree, although it has to be said that there were flashes of brilliance and very pleasing on the eye football as well. The problem was the turgid stuff signifcantly outweighed the brilliant by a long long margin..... at least for me it did. I recognise that others liked the tactical nature of the games and thats fair enough

i agree with most of your sentiments, but I’m sure we can both acknowledge the good work enjoyed he’s done, the position he has got us to and be desperate for him to succeed. All that said, to be successful in the long run i feel he needs to have a more multi dimensional philosophy. I feel that ‘controlling the game’ regresses very often to ‘controlling the ball’ which isn’t the same thing. An unintended consequence is that the style often (usually) suppresses offensive spirit.

Obviously everyone sees things through their own perpective and each of us is entitled to our opinions. It doesnt make us entitled or lessor fans, whatever the view point is. I think everyone involved deserves massive credit for turning the club around and having the season we are having. Just because we 'should' be promoted with this squad doesnt mean we automatically would be, so hats off to everyone involved. Without a doubt the club and fans objectives for this is season are being met. Bravo. Now i can say all that and at the same time, and far to frequently, find it massively dull and uninspiring. Its rarely worth turning up until about 60 min. Those two view points are not mutually exclusive and the latter point is why, in my humble opinion, there is as the OP suggested, a bit of a malaise. If youve been watching the club for more than the last decade then I doubt whether 'entitlement' is a thing I think like most, I would see it as tolerable in the short term because of the results and the desire to get back into the Permier League. I dont think most would find it tolerable in the long term though. Football is about passion and excitement. The current methods, at least for me, suck to much of that out of the game. This is nothing to do with the effort the players put in which is self evident. Its the style

well if big Nige says its a penalty for us and a red against us then so be it

Im definitely on board with the team rather than the individual. I think Mahrez is the best technical player ive seen at Leicester and probably most other clubs whilst Kante was a phenomenon. All that said and done and despite him coming to the end, there is only one GOAT

I can accept the fact that results don’t always go your way and that you can’t play like Brazil every game, but Im struggling to accept, despite our position in the league, such consistently tedious to watch football.

this aged well

Lots of things i like about the championship, much of which has already been mentioned. That said, I want to get out of it as fast as possible and much of the love in is because we’ve won three on the bounce. If we’d lost those games we all know that there would be no love in on these pages

what a lovely chap James Justin come across as. Very eloquent, well spoken and humble. .....and Mark Albrighton ... but then again its what weve come to expect from him

just remind me which game you were watching to day

Good luck to him. Its inevitable our best players will move on after relegation and thats not a one sided benefit. Decent funds allows us to do more ourselves in the transfer market. Barnes has done nothing wrong, appears to have behaved with integrity and honesty.
