Lacklustre is the wrong word. They are exhausted and they found a way to win. They deserve immense credit

Absolutely, the players must be on their knees.

 

This win was massive.  Enormous.  Ooj!

 

Some people just don't get it.  Judging by the match thread, they seem to think that we can just rock up with a decimated team and it's business as usual.  We can't hold our second XI to the same standard as our first.  We could literally pick a full side of outfield players that are injured.  Most of them first teamers:

 

I thought to myself when Maddison got injured and was closely followed by Barnes, that that was it.  We can't cope with the loss of our match winners on top of all our other injuries but we've taken four points from two tricky away games, we've had to change formation due to our lack of wide players and we have been unable to rest players running on fumes.  Add to that players returning or being nursed back from injury - Fofana, Ricardo, Castagne and Vardy and are not quite right, then we have performed miracles even if it's not been pretty.  This win might just be my favourite win of the season and it was great to see another unsung hero in Big Dan get the glory.  

 

If we can just muster enough to overcome Sheff Utd we might start to see some players returning and we will have weathered an almighty storm that might well have been fatal to our season and we will still be on track.

 

The players deserve immense credit as you say and the match thread warriors can hopefully reflect, grab a dictionary and learn the meaning of perspective.

Not a chance - if they were capable of that level of self-control, they'd not be on the match thread, spewing their invective.

Willie Orr was arguably one of City's greatest ever managers. But how many of us have ever even heard of him? Unlike Ranieri, he wasn't a one-season-wonder.

And still around to manage Scotland in the 1974 World Cup. Amazing longevity. :ph34r:

At the start of May they were 2nd (briefly 1st in mid-April) and in the FA Cup final. Then lost their last 4 league games and the Cup final. Bottlers.

Some bottlers had a squad of 15 for the season and would possiblly have done the double but for injuries . No resting of players dreadful pitches  tackling out of this world  league must harder  to win  how many modern players could cope

He’s injured and not really proven he deserves to start. How can you MOAN? We are second? In fact you’ve had a bit of a ‘mare here dude. We are ... wait for it ... just a little longer ... SECOND in the EPL. Can you honestly not see that as over achieving? We are Leicester with a Leicester budget. Relax , grab some weed and more importantly some bloody perspective! I’m bored of reading posts of this Ilk now. 

Hes only a poor possum..bless him..:twitch:

It would appear that my attempt at mirth has missed the target.

 

Of course they weren't bottlers. Also, those last 4 league games were all away from home and, along with the Cup final, were crammed into a very short period of time.

Are you forgetting our incredible run to 2nd place in 1929? :ph34r:

Even I can't remember that and suspect you can't, but I do remember 1963 . For the first time in my life I lived in a city with a top league club, Leicester. Finally 4th I think and maybe favorites in the cup final. Its worth reminding oneself this season isn't a season yet , technically its a part season  ( but still keeping many happy at the moment , bless them, One does hope  they realise its all temporary glory right up to reckoning day ). None the less its been wonderful so far, and looks like further improving. I'm feeling very good through Covid as a result and I think and hope its going to get even better on both fronts. I think that's unarguably a reasonable perspective and respects reality.

 

I think in 63 we were top with 5 games to go but 4th this season I would rate a much bigger achievement .

Go on then Webbo, you made the word up - what meaning have you ascribed? :) 

Similar to panaharmonious. Or, looking at it another way, a synonym of contratasphemic.

Depends who it's for. We're approaching the part of the season where the real bias will come out. We'll see.

 

Christ no. The match threads are bad enough without this bollocks rearing it's head again

My first season following Leicester. Yes we were top after the 4-3 home game in April against Man Utd, but our only other win thereafter was the semi final against Liverpool.

 

We lost our last four league games in quick succession which were all away from home. Quite a tall order to get the away victories required in the run up to the final. Nobody accused them of bottling it in those days, just ran out of steam.

Still buzzing from last night.

 

With a severely depleted squad and a run of fixtures against lower half teams it's quite easy not to get an acceptable return of points.

 

There is no doubt that the other six teams in 2nd-8th had a collective groan when we got the winner. With our injury problems we were seen as the team that looked the likeliest to be caught in the current top four. It's just fantastic that we've done what we needed to do this weekend and now have our feet up and putting pressure on our competitors to perform.

No rep to give. But I thought this too. OK Man United won today but thrir supporters as well as Chelsea, Everton etc would have been dead pissed off last night when Dan scored.

I thought the forum was for posting ur views , not to get bagged , we are all Leicester supporters having our say . 

The forum is for posting a viewpoint but expect to receive comments when outlandish or incorrect statements are made.

A bit like I groaned today when Man U scored (twice) against Man C and then groaned again when Spurs scored.

 

Edit: But Benteke has just soothed that groan for now. :)
