Guest Daniel Posted 20 September 2004 Posted 20 September 2004 Gambles on players and hope they get him out of jail. Somtimes it helps to think about who your signing. I mean whats Morris ever done?
Craig Posted 20 September 2004 Posted 20 September 2004 Not what everyone was saying before he got injured...
Ash Posted 20 September 2004 Posted 20 September 2004 Morris is a good player when fit .....But 70% of his career has been injury hit .Micky knew his history and risked on him
Guest Daniel Posted 20 September 2004 Posted 20 September 2004 What were they saying and to be honest i dont care what anyone was saying. What had he done before Micky signed him?
Ash Posted 20 September 2004 Posted 20 September 2004 Scored goals for Derby & Sheff Utd , Also called up for England U21's
Guest Daniel Posted 20 September 2004 Posted 20 September 2004 England under 21's does that say much? Benjamin played for them! :laugh:
Guest Daniel Posted 20 September 2004 Posted 20 September 2004 Oh yeah hes a goal scoring machine isnt he. God if he keeps this up he might get world player of the year. Use your head mate, he couldnt be classed as a goalscorer the little he scores.
kerryh Posted 21 September 2004 Author Posted 21 September 2004 He may not be a prolific goal scorer, but the reception he got when he came on against Derby, boosted his confidence (are you seeing a pattern??), he also plays with the passion that we want from our players on the pitch. You can all knock Trev as much as you want, but if we had another 10 men with his committment and willingness on the pitch we'd have a winning team week in week out.
DesertFox Posted 21 September 2004 Posted 21 September 2004 I've said this before... I'd give 100% every game I played for City. I'd try my heart out. But the problem is.... I'm shite! You'd be better off with Nathan Blake - seriously! Being wholehearted and looking up for it is only a small percentage of what is required to be a successful footballer. Skill is significantly more important, and Big Blind Trev, bless him, just isn't good enough. Yes, we want our players to show the same sort of passion we do as fans, but more importantly we want them to do well and win. 11 donkeys who try hard are probably not going to get us promoted!
davieG Posted 21 September 2004 Posted 21 September 2004 I've had enough of so called 'Leicester fans' who slag off or boo players during a match, it's hardly inspires a team to pull their finger out and please the fans.Can we please get behind the lads on a Saturday, encourage and inspire them to win, look how the Sheff Utd fans reacted last week, the team re-paid them with two goals! Yes you can all whinge and whine on here about who you hate or dislike but during a game - let's unite and create some passion that the team can be proud of. On Saturday for example, Blake came on (I didn't agree!) but couldn't boo a player in a Leicester shirt, like almost every other person did in the ground. How the hell is that ever going to inject some Leicester passion into Nathan Blake? If we cheer him then maybe he'll want to show us what he's made of. Get behind the lads and make us proud again! PLEASE. 20222[/snapback] Or one could say: I've had enough of so called 'Leicester City Players' who take the fans £s and produce inept displays during a match, it hardly inspires a fan to pull their finger out and support the team. Can we please see some passion, commitment and skill from the players on a Saturday to encourage and inspire the fans, look how the Sheff Utd fans reacted last week, after their team showing commitment and passion came back from 3-0 down with two goals! Yes MA’s and the players can all whinge and whine on about the team needing to gel and how other teams come here to defend during a game - let's see them unite and create some passion so that the fans can be proud of them. On Saturday for example, Blake came on in a Leicester shirt, like almost every other player showed no passion or commitment and very little skill. How the hell is that ever going to inject some Leicester passion into the fans? If he put in the effort then maybe we’ll want to show him what the fans are made of. Get stuck in lads and make us proud again! PLEASE.
Ric Flair Posted 21 September 2004 Posted 21 September 2004 Cracking debate going on here. I disagree with the people who are saying 'real Leicester fans' wouldn't boo a Leicester player. well that's just bollocks. In life you get different types of people, some are always optimists and some are pessimists. In marketing terms if you are a customer of a product say your favourite brand of beer and you start having some wafty pints and also the cheek of it is they have put the price up then you'll get some customers going absolutely wild about it and complaining left, right and centre. Some will make a quiet comment but will state that it's their favourite beverage and it's been good before, it will be good again just keep the faith with it. Whatever us fans have done, the fans that were at the game are the fans that will have also been singing 'Micky Adams Blue and White Army' aswell as possibly booing Blake and the team. Also I would like to state that even if we hadn't booed Blake I can guarantee the twat wouldn't of done any better. In the games he's played this season he's been consistently awful, he epitimises what alot of our players are this season - no commitment, no passion, no talent. Just here for a few quid to then piss off to some really crap team that is their current level, i.e Darlington for Hignett and Howey to some shite American team. Now I don't know if I am a real fan because I booed Blake, even though it was directed more towards the decision and not Blake himself but I have had a season ticket since 1993/94 season, I absolutely hate it when Leicester lose, I absolutely love it when Leicester win and to be quite honest Leicester play a big part in my life. But I suppose because I struggle to accept when things go tits up at my beloved club I am not a real fan. Perhaps i'm not, I wish I wasn't then I wouldn't be that arsed with what's happening. **** off.

PLEASE. 20421[/snapback] Two quick points 1) Did the crowd inspire sheff utd or was it the other way round. 2) Nathan Blake came on to plough a lone furrow up front for how many minutes? What is he supposed to achieve realistically. He hasn't done anything right for us but I don't think he was to blame for saturday. He was probably the best option in the circumstances. Tommy Wright would have done no better IMO.
Scow Posted 21 September 2004 Posted 21 September 2004 2) Nathan Blake came on to plough a lone furrow up front for how many minutes? What is he supposed to achieve realistically. He hasn't done anything right for us but I don't think he was to blame for saturday. He was probably the best option in the circumstances. Tommy Wright would have done no better IMO. 20426[/snapback] I'm not sure if you're being sarcastic here or not. Tommy Wright has shown in pre season and the reserves that he's worth a place on the bench at least. Nathan Blake hasn't displayed any sort of skill, passion, or commitment to the cause in his appearances so far this season. At the time we're looking to win the game with 11 men on the pitch. So what do we do? We bring on Nathan Blake for Connolly. So that means we have the paceless duo of Blake and Dublin upfront, with Scowcroft right wing. The key to Burnley's success on Saturday was their ability in the air at the back. Dublin barely won a header all day. If we were going to exploit Burnley's back line then it would have been by injecting some pace in to the forward line. Connolly was the only player on the pitch who could have provided that, but the service again to him was crap because Dublin won almost nothing in the air for him to feed on to. Tommy Wright should have really been brought on for Dublin. Connolly/Wright partnership would have caused a different problem for the Burnley defence with their pace and energy. We weren't going to be a success in the air, so why not try something else instead of putting a useless journeyman upfront who has no pace, skill, aerial ability and control of the football?
Foxy1984 Posted 21 September 2004 Posted 21 September 2004 i disagreed completely with the booing of nathan blake on saturday.how to knock someone's confidence any lower than it already is in one go.. my views on nathan blake - rubbish and should be nowhere near our shirt and our pitch. no passion, looks disinterested, no effort, no movement off the ball.. i could go on. how to let mickey adams know this? - if you feel strongly, write him a letter - don't boo the player at the game. as for the booing at the end of the match - this i don't mind as much. we're being let down at the moment and it needs to be said. it may sound like i am contradicting myself, but i think singling out a player for booing isn't going to help them but booing them performance in general when they will know how bad it was is fair...

Having said that I didn't boo and never have done, well not at an individual player, and one shouldn't assume it will not have the right effect, some will be demoralised, like Stewart I guess but I believe Blake's shoulders, experience and wallet should be great enough to rise above it and pull his bloody finger out and show some endevour.
Guest Daniel Posted 21 September 2004 Posted 21 September 2004 Excellent davieg, everything youve said my friend. I dont even need to join in, people saying excatly what i would. Its a joy to read, this is what the forums for, decent debates and no personal abuse.
Mark Posted 21 September 2004 Posted 21 September 2004 People booed at MA for bringing on Blake, not at Blake himself.As for the suggestion that fans should sit back, accept the shite that MA is subjecting this club to, and NOT COMPLAIN. Who are you kidding. We are moaning, because we want city to do well and not risk relegation again, (and why should'nt we). We are moaning because we believe in our club and its future and do not like what MA is doing to it. We are moaning because we particularly dont like it when he insist on playing low quality players who are unfit, unmotivated and unable to kick a ball even they could be bothered to try. MA is'nt playing Blake because he can see some great hidden talent/ skill that the rest of us cant see, he is playing him because, He, MA, bought him, and he trying to prove to himself and the rest of us that it was a good idea and that is plain stubborness and very stupid. buying Blake was a mistake and MA should be man enough to realise it, get over it and move on. we dont want another PT and akinbadbuy situation. (If Pt had been as quick as the fans to realise how crap AA was, City could have done well under PT) It is our club, we support it, mentally and financially therefore we have a right to complain when we aint getting the service we deserve, we are its customers and if it is to succeed the club must put the demands of its customers above the ego of its inept manager and the pride of a lazy, pension seeking player who shows no loyalty or passion to the club. MA has lost the plot and should leave before he does any more damage Lost the faith 20396[/snapback] This post says it all, spot on
Hullfox Posted 21 September 2004 Posted 21 September 2004 Now look what you've done Kerry. One complaint about the whingers and they're out in force.... Whingeing. I think that the Foxes Trust should run another competition based on the succesful pre season song writing campaign. Rather than just boo indiscriminately and be mis-understood as to why they're are booing, maybe the whingers could have their own section of the ground (How about the with the away fans) and they can sing anti-Mickey songs to their hearts content. I'll start you off guys Hey Mickey you're a twat You're a twat Your team is crap Hey Mickey, Hey Mickey. You are my Leicester My shitty Leicester You make me grumpy When I watch you I really hate that Twat Mickey Adams Despite promotion, he ain't got a clue. E I E I E I O Our team is such a joke Mickey is a willy puller And so are all his teams They're all real shite Apart from Tommy Wright Who gives us all wet dreams EEEE IIIII EEEE IIIII EEEE IIIII O

MA has lost the plot and should leave before he does any more damage Lost the faith 20396[/snapback] Mmmmm.... You dont think that Blakes scoring record could be the reason why Micky is choosing Blake then?? 1 in 3 for wolves and Blackburn. I would like to see Wright given more of a chance personally but unlike some people i am not going to slag of Blake just for this reason. This season Blake has only started 2 games, Derby and Millwall and YES he was subbed by Micky, but give the lad a break he is hardly match fit and only came in as Dublin had got banned. Since then he has come on as a sub 4 times for a total of about 60 mins, hardly long enough to make the damning criticisms some of you are making. Dublin has hardly excelled and got banned! yet doesn't get the same treatment, what about connolly started all the games and still hasnt scored are the knives coming out for him too? As for people cheering Trev on good fun yes but if Micky actually started him game in and game out those same people would be booing him as they do Blake. I would also really like to see some peoples reactions to Tommy Wright if he came on and failed to perform (Like he did at Brentford, and no he wasnt always injured!) or would they lay into him then too? We do not have a devine right to get promoted and it will be a tough fight all year to get into those play offs. We must get behind the players and the manager rather than booing and constantly moaning. As paying customers we all have the right to our say but lets keep it sensible and not all sign up to this bandwagon that some posters on here subscribe too that all will be right if we sack Micky and throw the youth team out there because we all know that aint the case.
Guest Daniel Posted 21 September 2004 Posted 21 September 2004 Didnt Tommy score 3 in 3 last time round in this division?
gagandeep Posted 21 September 2004 Posted 21 September 2004 Didnt Tommy score 3 in 3 last time round in this division? 20491[/snapback] No he didn't. He scored 1 in 2 starts, and 4 or 5 sub-appearances.
Durnerz Posted 21 September 2004 Posted 21 September 2004 Now look what you've done Kerry.I'll start you off guys Hey Mickey you're a twat You're a twat Your team is crap Hey Mickey, Hey Mickey. You are my Leicester My shitty Leicester You make me grumpy When I watch you I really hate that Twat Mickey Adams Despite promotion, he ain't got a clue.

Micky Posted 21 September 2004 Posted 21 September 2004 Great piont made here by Kerry!! We all hate Blake but booing him is out of order. The lad wont have any confidence in front of his new fans if there booing him once he steps foot on the pitch. I agree with most of you that the signing of Blake was ridiculous but the lad has come to this club to help us out!! Theres are worse players out there that we could have signed instead of Blake. Give him some gratitude, let him show what he's worth! Plus we bring him off the bench mostly near the end of every match, it would be hard to change a game when you only have abotu 10 minutes to prove ya self! 20337[/snapback] 'We all hate blake' What are you on about!? Get a reality check you loser! I don't hate any of our players. I don't think some of them are particularly good, but hate? This just shows the type of brainless crap spieled by some of the posters on here. 20339[/snapback] Calling another poster a 'loser' shows to me you are under the age of 12. Am i right? 20341[/snapback] I don't feel like I should have to justify my comments to someone who has been so frequently outspoken on this forum. But because you don't appear to have the nouse to work it out I will. Nathan blake has been poor since his arrival at leicester. I have been greatly dissapointed by his performances. However, I do not hate him. He is playing football for my team. I'm disapointed by him for sure but hate, ermm, nope. People need to grab a reality check and bring themselves into the real world. I work with people everyday. If those people are not performing or not up to the task in hand I encourage them, I support them and I certainly do not hate them.
Guest Daniel Posted 21 September 2004 Posted 21 September 2004 Didnt Tommy score 3 in 3 last time round in this division? 20491[/snapback] No he didn't. He scored 1 in 2 starts, and 4 or 5 sub-appearances. 20492[/snapback] Wrong again kiddo. He scored againt Gillingham & Forest. Theres 2 goals, and counting his minutes that he played i bet he didnt play any longer than 3 whole games.
