5th place, highest scoring away win, Europe, and golden Boot winner!

Let's try and be positive here, we've had a great season until coronavirus intervened! Just a couple of months ago we didn't know if the season would even end (maybe it would have been better if it hadn't!) but here we are, the second most successful season we've had in the Premier league, even with lots of injuries! Roll on next season ⚽ 

[Staff]

Despite the poor end to the season, still so proud of our 2nd highest Premier league finish 

[Fox92]

To be so far clear. How many was it.. 14, 15? That's disappointing. To keep, and attract, good players you need to be at the highest level. Look at Maddison's reaction FT, he's probably gutted he'll not be playing CL football.

 

[Stopper]

So true.  2nd best finish in top league and people not happy ???  Can understand disappointment but wouldn’t we accept top 6 year in year out.  We can’t compete financially with the “big 6”, but we are more than competitive and fully expect that to carry on.

[Dr The Singh]

Really, this thread stinks

[filthyfox]

Im still happy to be above 18th

[spacemunky]

Still my favourite Premier League team to watch.

[Mickyblueeyes]

It’s a good season. A damper because of how we let the lead go but definitely something to build on. 
 

The best thing we did before we won the championship is but experience that summer and I don’t think that would be a bad move for us this summer. A few experienced heads to come in and dig us out of a rut.

For me, that’s the downside to the season. The vultures will come for our best players, while we won’t be able to attract the players that will improve on our already excellent core without the lore and cash of CL football.

 

UP THE FOXES!

Nothing to do with corona. Could see this coming a mile off (I personally put money on us not finishing top 4 on the way back from a dismal defeat at Burnley) and that’s the concern: this wasn’t over a condensed lockdown spell, it’s been since December and we’ve not been able to address it.

 

If you’re happy with 5th then it’s a small-time mentality. I get it’s a decent consolation but if you’re willing to ignore the last 19 games because we managed to still end up 5th despite being so poor for so long then you’re kidding yourself.

[Soarvalleyfox]

Of course I'm disappointed that we're not in the champions league next season but just think, it was only a few years back we had the likes of elvis Hammond and josh low playing for us! 

[KFS]

Looking forward to the season review vid. We’ve achieved some big things this year. Hope it’s on the way to something else and not a slow decline!

[foxfanazer]

How many of these threads are there going to be? We get it, you're happy with how things have gone. Doesn't mean everybody has to share that view

Well he is partly responsible, so he can help fix it.

[Buzzell]

Yeh on paper it’s a a very good season but it’s also a big opportunity missed. We had Champions League football in our hands and we flapped it.

[Webbo]

Other than the money and the honour of finishing 4th/3rd, I'm not bothered about the Champs League, we were never going to win it.

 

I can understand why people are disappointed, but it's not been a bad season.

Just include August-Christmas 2019, wouldn’t bother with 2020.

[Katy]

Whether we’re happy with it or not it’s happened now and there’s naff all we can do about it. 

[Pliskin]

Talking about milestones, what’s the biggest points collapse on PL history? 

[Happy Fox]

I am more peeved we ducked up the league cup against Villa that was our great chance at getting to a final

[hejammy]

It's context. At the start of the season we'd of taken 5th ofcourse. But the monumental collapse since Dec is the reason for the disappointment. If you are not slightly angry you have to have a word with yourself. Yes there are some positives but today we all should be bitterly disappointed 

[jmono84]

I think most of us on here are happy we’re 5th but devastated how it has happened!

 

If anyone said to me in person to cheer up I think I’d slap them in the face... we’ve had to put up with some right idiotic football since lockdown was eased!

On the other hand we're Leicester and a dreadful run since December has left us 5th in the top flight. So, you know, there's a bit of room for positivity.

That's like being with a women who's a 9 out of 10 for a long time and then getting together with a 4 out of 10 and saying, ah well at least she's a women?

Only because the other good teams have been inconsistent in the first half. At the moment they turned up, we saw what happened.
