We needed to buy someone who was going to score the goals to get us out of this mess Scoring goals hasn't been the issue. We've scored more goals than anyone outside the top half of the league. The problem has been that we concede far too many goals - a whopping 64 so far this season. I fully expect that number to be over 70 by the end of the season. 11

FoxesWalk Posted 9 May 2023 Posted 9 May 2023 3 hours ago, Bilo said: It does to me too. Leeds have a chance to get out of it with Spurs at home on the last day, so the methodology is something that needs investigating. I'd say we're 80% plus to go down and Leeds are about right. It’s based on stats, attacking and defensive. We have a better attack statistically than those down there with us, and none of us can defend, so I guess the probability of us pulling out a random win unexpectedly is considered to be higher. I’m not sure what time period they evaluate it over. We watch every game and a significant number of us have seen this coming for a while now even when the probability of relegation was low in theory. I didn’t see us getting another point this season before the Fulham game, and I haven’t changed my mind.
Jon the Hat Posted 9 May 2023 Posted 9 May 2023 If I could point to one reason why we are going down, one stupid decision it would be to let Kasper leave. No way we would be down if he had been here this season. None. 3 1 1

No way we would be down if he had been here this season. None. His bizarre departure was definitely the beginning of the end for us. He wasn’t the best keeper in the league, but he was an absolute leader and demanded so much from the players around him. He said in an interview that Leicester had shown no interest in extending his contract and were more than happy to let him go. Awful decision. 7
WigstonWanderer Posted 9 May 2023 Posted 9 May 2023 (edited) No way back from this now. At least 2 points from safety with 3 to play. Ordinarily doable, but not with our powder-puff, poorly organised, dispirited team. Add to that that we face 2 clubs in Champions League contention and another much improved. I’d really be surprised if we got more than a single point in the remaining matches. So envious watching the fight in Forest and Everton compared with the “lay down and die” from us.

We had the chances to save ourselves- despite being fcuking awful this season - and the players couldn’t lift themselves / show the effort for a couple of games. still fuming 1
The Doctor Posted 9 May 2023 Posted 9 May 2023 genuinely wish I'd thought the board were incompetent enough to ignore the damning trends in performances until it was too late. this has been coming for 18 months and if I'd known how inept they were I could have made a killing 1
LcFc_Smiv Posted 9 May 2023 Posted 9 May 2023 Re. Bournes complacency comments and Maddison playing it up to the media. How many of these players have been in a relegation battle before? I can’t think of many who wouldn’t have had careers to this point that have had an upwards trajectory. I purely think that many of them just don’t get it.
jonathan_ross Posted 9 May 2023 Posted 9 May 2023 (edited) We’ll avoid relegation and stay up on 33 points, forest will loose all 3 of there next games and Leeds will only manage 2 draws, while we loose to Liverpool and Newcastle then scrape it on the last game of the season with a win keeping us up on goal difference. Call me mad but thats the effect this season has had on me, as hard as I try I can’t bring myself to accept relegation. Edited 9 May 2023 by jonathan_ross 2 1

When a side with nothing to play for easily score five against us in a situation where we desperately needed a point, then what hope do we have against sides with a lot at stake and in great form? 6

Wouldn't be surprised if Notts Forest pick up at least a point from their game at Chelsea, which if they do will mean we are screwed because we ain't getting anything from our next 2 games, and Everton will beat Bournemouth at home last game, and probably win at Wolves before that. Basically we are screwed, but the club, management and players only have themselves to blame. Of course many of our players won't be relegated because they will move to other clubs playing top flight football elsewhere, and there in lies one of our biggest problems, which is becoming more and more evident the nearer to the end of the season we get. Frankly my fellow Leicester fans, they don't give a damn!
UniFox21 Posted 9 May 2023 Posted 9 May 2023 Just heard another radio segment saying they felt a little for Rodgers, as he wasn't supported in the transfer market. Fml
damolcfc Posted 9 May 2023 Posted 9 May 2023 We need a couple of bullies in this team, hard barstools... we just look wimpish Enough of the failing fancy football, do something different now 3 at back 5 in middle and 2 up top. Nothing to lose now, catching forest and Everton is now nigh on impossible

Sadly you are delusional They don’t massively suggest otherwise. Leeds are a shorter price than us to go down and Forest certainly aren’t out of it at around 6/4. Forest will be a big price to get anything out of the next two games and will then probably be odds against v Palace to get a point or more. 1
