When times weren't so good...

Leicester 0 Brighton 1 on that bank holiday monday was diabolical. Adam Virgo header. Brighton wore a bright yellow kit with Skint on it. Said it all about the opposition. And us.

 

The day the crowd first turned on Adams as well. We'd managed one win in six after relegation and it was clear his style of piling the squad with ageing players was going to fail to deliver success. We should've stayed up the year before though- we weren't a good side but had far too many positions lost to win games to use that as an excuse.

 

Southampton home, Spurs home, Wolves away, Newcastle home, Middlesbrough away. 3 points taken, 12 points thrown away from a combined position of 9 goals ahead, most very late in the game.

This is why I pity glory supporters of the big clubs....you cant properly appreciate the good times until you have suffered through the bad times.

If Im talking football with people and they say they support port vale or walsall or someone like that I have infinately more respect for them than if they tell me they support liverpool or manchester united. (Unless they are actual mancs or scousers)

I saw Elvis score.

Also, that 1-1 away to Colchester at Layer Road. I'd just got my first car and as it was just after a close game against Chelsea in the League Cup I talked a mate into going on a road trip. It was the crappiest game imaginable and we ended up looking up at the fireworks display that was going on in the park behind the ground instead of paying attention to the game. Then hours of traffic on the way back.

Sheffield United 3 Leicester City 0

 

A James Beattie hattrick and Patrick Kisnorbo sent off within 20 minutes.

 

What a waste of a trip.

Defensively we were poor but I think we actually had a very good attack in Dickov, Ferdinand and Bent.

They actually outscored any strikeforce we had under MON and that was with much worse creative players.

The fact our defence was made up of past it players like Steve Howey and John Curtis and Matt Elliott (who was obviously a LCFC great but was well past it by then and only got in the side on his past reputation) and Matt Heath who was a League One or Two standard defender was what cost us.

I remember one game against maybe Ipswich where Heath headed it into the back of his own net completely unmarked in injury time to concede an equaliser.
