gerrytaggart Posted 2 July 2020 Posted 2 July 2020 Really shows just how good we were at the start of the season. We have been shit since Christmas and we are still 3rd!!

Its the Leicester way. BR plays tactics to safe. He should encourage fast attacking football from the first whistle. To not win then is embarrassing This seems to happen towards end of manager reigns. Once the wins stop, they fear a run of defeats, especially big one's will lose them their job, so they setup more defensively, thinking draws instead of defeats keeps their job alive, but overall it tends to lead to a form drop off, and just end up delaying the inevitable. New managers get a boost because they often start off with more positivity, I dont think it necessarily means the old manager lost the dressing room.
Number 6 Posted 2 July 2020 Posted 2 July 2020 5th or 6th. United look in great form, and despite their blip Chelsea are much stronger than us so they'll complete the top 4 with Liverpool and Man City. I think Wolves are a little overrated, but they're picking up the results at the moment (just) and have had kind fixtures upon restart (teams currently sat in 16th, 18th and 19th) so I'd like to think we could hold them off. Then probably a tense wait on Man City's fate as to whether we get CL or not.

Dropping the ban completely would be a complete capitulation and would make UEFA look pathetic.
Tuna Posted 2 July 2020 Posted 2 July 2020 Have a go on the predictor I've got us in 7th on 58 points. https://www.worldfootball.net/table_calculator/eng-premier-league/ Wolves 4th, Chelsea 5th and Spurs 6th.
Monsell1976 Posted 2 July 2020 Posted 2 July 2020 If we don’t get Europe now it will feel like a massive failure, I think we will miss out from what I’ve seen from these players. Be another inconsistent season, if we miss out we will also miss out on better players. Sacking Rodgers is not the answer, but a clear out of the poor or constantly inconsistent players who keep costing managers their jobs is the answer, no coincidence this happens every season, and the only consistent is the players
MonmoreStef Posted 2 July 2020 Posted 2 July 2020 We still have a buffer and as good as both Wolves and Utd look at present one bad result for them and a win for us and the whole situation looks totally different. Also for the whole season I was hating the fact that we play Utd last up. I now like that fact as it does give us a chance to re catch them if they do go above us, obviously providing we can at least get a few results between then! There’s also that pressure which will be on Wolves especially in the near future. All of a sudden they will be looking at Champions League football and it would not surprise me if they suffer when that hits home from the added pressure of needing a result. All that said we really need to win next up.
Matt Posted 2 July 2020 Posted 2 July 2020 6th if we’re lucky and a rather disappointing, underwhelming season. It seems weird saying that as a Leicester fan but unfortunately that’s the reality of it. You have to seriously question have we really moved on from that last bloke, a lot of people will clamber to say yes because of the vitriol (I include myself on that part) aimed at the last bloke but has much really changed? I’m not too sure.

Bazly Posted 2 July 2020 Posted 2 July 2020 I think we could sneak 6th. Its all gone pear shape since BR got his new bumper contract. That seems to have affected the players. Carry this form into the next season and 17th will be a good result.
Steve Earle Posted 2 July 2020 Posted 2 July 2020 5th, with wins against Palace, Sheff U & B'mouth not quite good enough

We have been shit since Christmas and we are still 3rd!! Yep. We got 38 points from the first 16 games. If we'd kept that up we'd have finished the season on 90 points!
AKCJ Posted 2 July 2020 Posted 2 July 2020 I have us down as drawing 4 and winning 2 of our remaining games. Finishing 4th. Level with Chelsea (above on GD) and a point behind Man United. The final day is going to be wild.
tetly Posted 2 July 2020 Posted 2 July 2020 The last day will be interesting. Our fixtures are quite tricky it’s gonna be tough. Fingers crossed.
Haywood_6 Posted 2 July 2020 Posted 2 July 2020 If i had to put money on it, I would say 5th. But wouldn't be surprised if we slumped even lower.
Sol thewall Bamba Posted 2 July 2020 Posted 2 July 2020 FFS, just looked at our fixtures, got excited about the fact that we could beat Palace Bournemouth and Sheff Utd and still make it. Don't know why I do this to myself.
fuchsntf Posted 2 July 2020 Posted 2 July 2020 Against all odds, present form, seemingly easier fixtures for Manutd and Wolves,Not One Leicester fan still believing (except me!!) Because I am a romantic & naive. I Let my medication with a shot of Whisky send me into foxes-delerium....And I will be Leicester Till I die..sooner than most My club,my Leicester will still get a Champions League placing this season.!! If Not heyho..!!! There is always Next season...Thats what being a fan is....No matter how,dumb,how clever,how intelligent,how pathetically senile.!! >Believe< until the points tally Show different.. I am just a poor Leicester fan Though my story's seldom told I have squandered my resistance For a pocketful of fumbled dreams and lonely stance Such are promises All lies and jest Still, a man hears what he wants to hear And disregards the rest After changes upon changes We are more or less the same After changes we are More or less the same When I left my home and my family I was a mere boy eyes wide In the company of strangers In the quiet of a railway or bus station Fellow foxes at my side Laying low, seeking out the foxes quarters Where only the hard und honest fans go Looking for the places only they would know In his anger and his shame with arguments profain The weak and Good Weather fan cry and shout "I am leaving, I am leaving" But its the Quiet Foxe's fan that still remains... One fan Standing alone...With no other lifes sin only unxerstood by the Girl with wavey locks The brightfull. @Suzie the Fox lie- la- lie...lie-la-lie lie-lie-lie la-la-la-lie

I'm still convinced we will finish top 4 and like you said, if we don't then we wipe away the tears and try again next year.
RonnieTodger Posted 2 July 2020 Posted 2 July 2020 If you offered me 5th (and the gamble of Man City's trial) I'd take it.
