foxes_rule1978 Posted 27 April 2017 Share Posted 27 April 2017 This season is a right off, been atrocious... the players we have we should have been well safe by now. Thankfully we have had the CL to keep our minds of the rubbish in the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can only hope for a great Transfer Window and bring in some quality players for next seasons Top 5 finish !! But my pimple won't let me forget it. Each time I sit down it's like a shard of glass...oh wait this isn't the medical ailment thread is it? This summer transfer window is perhaps more important than last years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justfoxes Posted 27 April 2017 Share Posted 27 April 2017 Well we can say Sunderland and Boro have gone I think we're safe with just 1 more win? I'm really hoping when we are safe that Shaky gives some of the better fringe players some game time even a couple of the younger players that have been impressive this season !

Guy Posted 28 April 2017 Share Posted 28 April 2017 Despite all the complacent-like comments on this post, we're still not cast iron guaranteed safe yet by any means, especially if all of the teams (barring Sunderland and M'Boro') below us embark on a run like we did this time two seasons ago! So you can understand the pessimism floating around the forum at this juncture until it's mathematically impossible for the present 18th placed team to catch us up in a not too distant 15th of course! This, after what has largely been a very forgettable league season if we're being honest, at least compared to last season! - with only the Shakey inspired run over the past two months to date being the only bright spot. The home form has definitely been our saviour of late, we'd obviously be below Sunderland now had our home form mirrored our away! Even so I think we've only lost two in the last ten league games since just after the Swansea away disaster in mid Feb. so although we're not quite there just yet, it's looking better than the last time we were relegated to the lowest point in our history - in 2008 of course!

We have 3 home games left, of which two are Watford and Bournemouth at home. I expect 6 points at home and 1-3 points away. We will be safe and can start to build for next season where a mid-table finish would be good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thracian Posted 28 April 2017 Share Posted 28 April 2017 Logic suggests we should be okay with Swansea having to pick up points on us as a considerably greater rate than they've managed thus far this season. But having gained a bit of confidence with their latest win and us having faltered under the weight of injuries and too many games for an always thin squad, it's not quite so simple. Because all our challengers in the relegation area will be fresher than us. There are still injury doubts about key man Morgan, Drinky's way off his best, Slimani seems like a permanent groin strain and absolutely nothing is guaranteed for us. Our best chance is that teams like Watford and Bournemouth won't have much to play for and we're at home for those games and we do seem to remain a force at home. Four points from those two games should settle it - or even perhaps two and, we do have a game in hand. So any £50 staked better against us would be high risk as indicated by the odds but nothing like as risky as the 5000/1 that brought it's reward for one or two when we won the title. Ranieri has so much to answer for this season and I just hope Shaky can squeeze that last drop of effort from us after a season that showed how much we underestimated the demands of the Champions League on a club that isn't used to it or fully equipped for it.

Nalis Posted 29 April 2017 Share Posted 29 April 2017 Not mathematical but if we win and Swansea lose we'll be 9pts ahead with a goal difference of at least -12 vs Swansea's of -30 with 3 games to go, meaning we'll be virtually safe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chico1958 Posted 29 April 2017 Share Posted 29 April 2017 It's all ifs and buts at the moment........... Win today would be great and make it virtually impossible for us to go down But this is Leicester we're talking about........... Anything could f***ing happen I've written off this season like the rest of us. I'm hoping for better things next Whoevers in charge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
st albans fox Posted 29 April 2017 Share Posted 29 April 2017 This is a complete reversal of a year ago. Only one club can't catch us now and last season only one club could catch us at this point!

With our wage bill, I suspect a mid table finish will be viewed as an under achievement Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted 29 April 2017 Share Posted 29 April 2017 Fancy us to win today and be almost home. Probably 2 wins against WBA and Middlesborough (sure it them we have to play stil?) will do it and anything against the big team will be a bonus.
