Rushden fox Posted 31 July 2015 Posted 31 July 2015 I had to do something to hide my frustration looking at the transfer sagas in the transfer news section so here we go. I'm going to seriously miss being called plucky and of course everyone's favourites to go down. Oh and reruns of our 5-3 against United What about you guys ( and girls I'm sure)
Wymsey Posted 31 July 2015 Posted 31 July 2015 The 'underdogs' tag, if Kante and Aranguiz both come too and contribute well.
Izzy Posted 31 July 2015 Posted 31 July 2015 I'm going to seriously miss being called plucky and of course everyone's favourites to go down. If we don't replace EC, we might still be everyone's favourites to go down this season
Guest Sharpe's Fox Posted 31 July 2015 Posted 31 July 2015 A squad built upon team spirit and work ethic with a inspirational and charismatic manager. Looking forward to that going out the window.
Julian Joachim Jr Shabadoo Posted 31 July 2015 Posted 31 July 2015 Drawing against Everton first day of the season and it feeling like a great accomplishment. A draw against Sunderland next weekend will feel like a massive opportunity missed, a loss will be a pisstake
Dr The Singh Posted 31 July 2015 Posted 31 July 2015 Nothings changed, were still considered relegation candidates. Everyone outside of city is predicting a disaster
Mark_w Posted 31 July 2015 Posted 31 July 2015 I'll miss Burnley and QPR, it was fun while it lasted guys.
shailen Posted 1 August 2015 Posted 1 August 2015 No matter what anyone says the last two seasons have been exciting and a real rollercoaster of a ride. No doubt I'd settle for a stable mid table finish but the drama and entertainment we have had in the last two seasons especially has been fantastic.
Shipman Out Posted 1 August 2015 Posted 1 August 2015 Drawing against Everton first day of the season and it feeling like a great accomplishment. A draw against Sunderland next weekend will feel like a massive opportunity missed, a loss will be a pisstake We need to wind our necks in a bit we are still favourites to go down and have the same battle as last year to stay up. The second season is often harder people need to remember that. So what ill miss is the mentality of the crowd and the fact we didnt moan when we went 1-0 and 2-1 down against Everton and still created a good positive atmosphere, the Wood goal felt amazing. Whereas this year i can see people sat there moaning if were not 2-0 up after 20 mins against Sunderland! We are in the same position as last year not some top ten club which is the expectation some on here seem to have

Not favourites.
foxfanazer Posted 1 August 2015 Posted 1 August 2015 I'm just hoping we keep the atmosphere we had for large parts of last season
Len Finsbury Posted 1 August 2015 Posted 1 August 2015 We hit the ground running at the start of last season, sort of continued with the spirit in which we finished the promotion season. If we hadn't have had the managerial change, we could have continued with that same mentality at the beginning of this season but with the new manager, we've had to take a step back to go forward again. This will possibly mean we've lost our stride making this season probably tougher than last season. So I'll miss us being the team that never got a thrashing from last year. I can't imagine Ranieri can maintain the same spirit we had overnight. I'm expecting one or two pastings along the way.

Avoiding defeat today (not vital but would be nice) means their mental state is one where we don't lose. The manager isn't relevant. The shape and personnel virtually the same. and I would take the odd pasting to avoid the stress of the last campaign. A relaxing season would be just perfect so we can enjoy the games.
lestajigs Posted 1 August 2015 Posted 1 August 2015 I'm hoping we will still go mental at every single goal we score like last season, I know I will

The shape and personnel virtually the same. and I would take the odd pasting to avoid the stress of the last campaign. A relaxing season would be just perfect so we can enjoy the games. I can see your point, but I could argue that pretty much the same players that put together that run were, on the whole, the same players that went so long without a win. I don't think it's just about personnel, it's more psychological than that. Any managerial change in any club would have an effect on the way the team plays, whether it's a team trying to improve bad form or maintain great form. I agree about taking a pasting now and again, I felt sometimes we were too cautious trying to limit damage last season. At the beginning, we played without fear and took the game to the opponents but as the season went on, we became more cautious at times.
EnglishOxide Posted 1 August 2015 Posted 1 August 2015 You must be mental if you would prefer to take a pasting over a 1-0 loss or 2-1 loss. Being competitive in every game is a source of pride. Getting outclassed 4-0 does nothing for confidence.

Getting outclassed 4-0 does nothing for confidence. that wasnt the point. taking the odd pasting but being comfortable all season v being competitive every game but being bottom for months on end was the choice.
EnglishOxide Posted 1 August 2015 Posted 1 August 2015 So you didn't enjoy the games last season? I think you would enjoy them even less at 3-0 down on 70 minutes.
HitchinFox Posted 1 August 2015 Posted 1 August 2015 If we do sign Aranguiz, Inler and Kante (and possibly others) it's inevitable that the "big-spending Leicester" tag will return. Now that is something I haven't missed.
Fox92 Posted 1 August 2015 Posted 1 August 2015 Going back to grounds I hadn't been to for ten years.
Nalis Posted 1 August 2015 Posted 1 August 2015 The buzz of being back after so long away from the top flight. Being underestimated and somewhat of an unknown quantity. The worry that other teams will underestimate the newly promoted teams thus giving them easy points.
