The similarities between Pleat and Puel are striking in my opinion. Pleat tried to play *passing* football and failed, like Puel. Pleat kept winning a game out of the blue just when we thought the axe was coming, like Puel. Both of them had/have us going nowhere fast. If Pleat had the resources Puel has now or vice versa, you'd have a job getting a fag paper between them.

Spot on.Both have way to clever for their own good syndrome.In fact Pleat was decades before his time in that regard
MC Prussian Posted 23 February 2019 Posted 23 February 2019 I know it's easy to say to take the rough with the smooth. It's just the fact that the change in course, the stark contrast, does make for appalling viewing. Yes, a cut in terms of playing style or manager had to be done at some stage, but seeing "this" on the pitch week in, week out, does disenfranchise more and more fans from the club. All you get is excuses and the same platitudes. That development's not good, and it shouldn't be ridiculed. It ought to be taken seriously. Here's to Claude turning it around in the next few games: Brighton (h) Watford (a) Fulham (h) Burnley (a) Bournemouth (h) Huddersfield (a) Newcastle (h) Pray to God he gets four wins out of those fixtures. Because that's what it'll take to stay up.

Mark 'expert' Lawrenson Posted 23 February 2019 Posted 23 February 2019 Me too, although I’m going to wait until the 2nd half of the Chelsea game before I throw my season ticket onto the pitch.

I’m hoping we won’t need 4 wins this season, that’s a good run of fixtures but they’ll all be rubbing their hands at playing us at the moment, 3 wins hopefully will be enough, against who and how we get those wins is another story

So, 18th place should be the worrying case this season - Southampton have a couple of fixtures against "bigger" teams coming up, but we need to keep a close eye on that spot in the table. Because the teams between 10th and 18th are incredibly close to one another, and it could be us having to bite the bullet at the end of the season. That scenario is not that far-fetched, especially given our recent set of results and the direction in which they point. Down.
inckley fox Posted 23 February 2019 Posted 23 February 2019 It's hard work at the moment. The problem is that there are Leicester sides you love, some you like, and some that just don't quite click with you. Sometimes you love crappy sides that entertain you, which was the case with lots of fans and the teams we had in the Wallace, McGhee and (for some fans, me excepted) Eriksson eras. Sometimes there's a reasonably successful side which doesn't inspire, which up to now has been the case for me with the Puel era. Of course, now it's not even all that successful, which makes it doubly hard. For me, I don't like the over-elaborate backways-sideways-absolutely-no-penetration passing. It's very latter-day Wenger-esque and I'm not sure how successful this sort of game is in the UK, unless you have far better players than ours to implement it. It's not especially entertaining, and it's turned the KP to stone. Our attacking intent isn't very Leicester-like, defending corners with eleven men, committing few players into the box for attacks, ending up floating in crosses to nobody in particular. His signings have been a mixed bag, with Pereira looking the part but the jury out on most of the others. Some of them have had more game time than merited. We lack physicality, and by the end of today we lacked spirit too. I think a lot of Puel's decision-making, especially the weird selection decisions and substitutions, has actually undermined the progress of this side too. The greatest credit I can give him is that we've not yet got into a relegation dogfight in his reign, and I do believe some of the younger players have potential, and in some cases have begun to show it. But the actual experience of watching Puel-era Leicester is a pretty miserable one.
ScouseFox Posted 23 February 2019 Posted 23 February 2019 absolutely amazed anyone still goes to our games. couldn’t imagine any less enjoyable way to spend a saturday afternoon.

You don't stop loving your son because he brings home a bad report card or an ugly girlfriend and this is kind of the same. The worst thing is it's people like the post starter that throw the their toys out the pram and want to talk loyalty when Mahrez, Drinkwater and Kante left for bigger clubs on loads more dough. Loyalty cuts both ways you bunch of entitled, prima donna pricks!

He just can’t justify the time/cost/annoyance when it is the same shit every home game. If he is based in Huddersfield that’s a good couple of hours each way at least + parking then match day traffic. I assume he, like most of us, come away from most home games thoroughly fed up and pissed off having wasted a precious day of the weekend for that shite. I’m amazed more people don’t think like that, if it wasn’t for the fact that 90% of the stadium is season tickets and they have already paid for their ticket I wouldn’t be surprised to see gates of around 20,000.

Good job he "supports" Leicester and not a team like Walsall, or 80% of the other teams who never do anything. Couple of average to shit seasons and people want to give up, laughable.

I STILL think we on the verge of s big transition but I'm not going to harp on,as fans have already decided what they want .but these are NOT dark times
