I think at this point in the season performances are not important. Results are everything as pressure tends to limit performances for most teams in this situation 

There's no easy games now

 

Unless you're playing mid-table sides on the beach

 

Brum, Millwall & Plymouth - All easy on paper, all fighting relegation and be very difficult to beat at this time of season

 

Anyone who thinks playing a side fighting against relegation in the final few games of season is easy hasn't watched much football, (or anything other than us last season)

You’re definitely right with that.

 

…but the way we play should be more suited to teams playing with a bit of desperation.

 

You’d think they’d be a bit less likely to sit back at this stage of the season - Especially at home.

We should be able to pick these teams off I we improve the performance levels a bit. Easier said than done I suppose.

Depends if they see it as a free hit and to go aggressive one for one or low block and try to get a point.  you wouldn’t be able to guess which

What a load of shit. Some of our fans man 

 

If you think we're good then we're watching different games. Birmingham had 11 shots against us. Bristol City had 16. We're making crap teams look decent. Om glad most of these players will be gone soon because without a shadow a doubt this team will get destroyed if we go up.

Birmingham would be bottom without Stansfield. The work he has to put in for that team is unreal. Playing players like Bielik who belong in 1989 - like a tug boat 

And their youngster Jordan James.

Livescore says they had 8 shots, with 5 on target.  Oddly, Brum had no corners.  Don't agree we made them look decent at all. Thought they were poor and were hanging on in that 2nd half. We made Norwich (who are 3rd in the 10 game form table) look next to hopeless. The same Norwich that then did one on Ipswich. 

 

There's a slightly nasty arrogance assuming we should just be blowing these teams away. We have seen Leeds drop points to the likes of Huddersfield. Our performance against Bournemouth gave me hope that we would be able to compete with the bottom half of the table, but next season is going to be a slog no matter what.

We’ve shown some nerve the past two home games. However those who can’t wait to wallow in the bottling don’t mention that. 
 

If you talk about bottling you have to talk up gutsy performances too, otherwise you create a bottling feedback loop and it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy

Based on the fact we are top, I assume you don’t think any team in the EFL will be able to cope in the PL?

That would meaning admitting some sort of error in judgement in their mind (it is isn’t, it’s was just being overly concerned, perhaps due to last seasons horror show)  so not convinced it’s likely.

Going over what will have been said already, but yesterday’s win and the manner of it felt like a turning point in the season. Potentially even season defining.

Definitely. A 6 point swing over our 2 closest rivals, on the same day is huge. 

[OntarioFox]

Feels so much better knowing every result went the way we'd have wanted. Us, Leeds, Ipswich, Forest, Luton. Honestly, maybe I was being greedy but it was just a Rangers winner away from being a perfect weekend, that. It feels good after so many where it's felt like the football Gods are against us.

Would hate to sit near you. You would take all the joy out of winning, regardless how we played. Let’s get promoted first before we worry about next season. I don’t think any of us are under illusions that we’re going to cruise the PL, but we are entitled to try and enjoy going up and helping the team to do so. Perhaps you should give your ticket to someone who will support the lads for this important time. Up the City

@Koke, @Rupert Von Suckalemon, i sympathetise with ur feelings.  Some may say ur harsh etc.

 

The reality for me, and i am no Maresca fan.  The fact is we were better than Brum but expectations would have us spank them but that did not happen.  Who is responsible?  Players, Enzo?

 

Other than LCFC fans there is no one waxing lyrical over Enzo.  Even Linekar and others see he is a  dopple ganger of Pep, they were laughing about it on TV. 

 

If he gets us promoted, I will say he has done more than i expected and i will judge him again next season.  In the meantime, his football is turd and i hate it.

Took some balls to win that, fair play. 

 

4 more wins needed, Millwall and Plymouth are huge.

🤣🤣🤣🤣 typical Leicester supporter ratings.

 

Daka who got an assist for the first goal gets a 4.

 

Mads who litterally gave Birmingham a equalising goal gets a 6

 

Vardy who other than getting fouled that one time did **** all got higher than Daka 🤣🤣🤣

 

Jesus 

The guy did something 7 year olds are taught when they go to their first ever coaching sessions

As do I. But those were simpler days of four-digit phone numbers, evenings crowded round the wireless and those lovely old tin advertisements for Bovril and Fry’s chocolate…

Ah yes ... crowded around the wireless in 2014.   Good old days!

Even the mid table sides can be tricky this time of year. They may be 'on the beach' but also that mid table security also means they may play with a lot of freedom which can make them dangerous

I distinctly remember getting the tram home from after the final game against Donaster and somebody saying they’d heard that the government had announced that rationing was coming to an end. What a marvellous day that was…

Same. This season was always going to be a bit horrible though. Disbelief that we went down, followed by resentment and expectations we would just go straight back up...nasty cocktail, that.

 

Football is hard, and I think many fans have forgotten that the high moments come following a fight or struggle.

 

That being said, I have been guilty of negativity at times this season, and did recently suggest Enzo should go. So what do I know 🤷🏻‍♂️

99% are loving it I am sure…

 

1% are getting an awful lot of oxygen I suspect 

 

Other than our blip, I’ve throughly enjoyed this year…. Evolving football style, exciting wingers, winning a lot and no VAR!
