ClaphamFox Posted 23 April Share Posted 23 April (edited) 22 minutes ago, Scanchez said: Yeah, I'm not saying if we lose this we can't get promoted. I understand that's possible. I'm saying that in my opinion, if we lose, I think we'll end up in the playoffs. I'm basing this on our form since February time. It's been very poor and we've been playing badly. I just think if we lose this, it will sap any remaining confidence we have left and give more confidence to Leeds and Ipswich to go on and win their matches. Southampton are in a worse position, that's correct. We can see that from the table. They're still going to try and win football matches though and are a good team. They won't finish in the top 2 but still have the ability to massively screw things up for us. I'm not saying everything is going to fall apart and we're going to lose all the remaining games. I just think IF we lose tonight, I could see us dropping further points (as we have been doing regularly for months) and finish outside the top 2. That's just my opinion. It's hardly outrageous. We've been awful for ages. I haven't said we're going to lose tonight, just that if we did, I could see us slipping out of the top 2. Just to be clear, I DON'T WANT THIS TO HAPPEN. Our away form has been poor since Christmas. Our home form in 2024 has been broadly in line with how it was earlier in the season. In the first half of the season we were brilliant away from home - we only lost one of our first 13 away games. Sine Christmas, we've lost six out of nine. It's that collapse in our form away from home that has dragged us back into the scrap for promotion. At home, we've been pretty consistent all season - losing twice before Christmas and twice since. I think we'll win tonight and also beat Blackburn on the last day. I also think we'll get a result at Preston, but based on our recent form that's the game that could cause us some issues.

IF we lose tonight, I THINK we'll finish outside the top 2. If it helps, I can say 'If we lose this tonight, I think we'll win the league'. There’s nothing difficult to understand, I'm merely challenging your opinion. You claimed we were poor, but we won, it doesn’t matter how we played, Leeds got away with it last night yet they’re in the top two, and according to sky, they’ve won the league….. we’re top with a game in hand. Even if we lose tonight, win both of Preston and Blackburn we are up. To reiterate, the performances mean Jack, Leeds weren’t brilliant last night, they just didn’t lay down….. we just need to do the same.

Just worried that if we were to lose, we could well slip up again. If Top 2 finish wasn't confirmed by the last day of the season, I'd be worried. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I just think losing tonight could have a knock on effect to the remaining two games. I agree, I couldn't care less how we play, just as long as we get the points.

Twitcher Posted 23 April Share Posted 23 April I think if we win tonight, we are effectively up. However, I think it will be a 1-1 draw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could do, it is a possibility… but you would like to think that with three to go, we can muster enough energy and will power to grind out the results we need. Get a result tonight and the rest becomes a bit easier! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess I might just have PTSD from other occasions where things appear to be wrapped up and then slowly but surely, we balls it up right at the end..

I told you all we're nowhere near good enough Win - Don't worry about it, we're definitely good enough, promotion is a formality 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larry_LCFC Posted 23 April Share Posted 23 April 3 points atleast ends Southampton season tonight and puts us in an incredibly good position. This will entirely come down to mentality and desire. Biggest game in a very long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are at home, Southampton have a few injuries.. I think there is less pressure on the players today as well and Southampton are pretty much resigned to play offs even there manager said that Edited 23 April by whoareyaaa 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxdiamond Posted 23 April Share Posted 23 April No doubt we are all tying ourselves in knots about tonight's match and the next two. Bottom line is if we don't get automatic promotion let us hope it is down to not being deserved rather than some horrible controversy. Would love it if we cruised to two comfortable wins before the Blackburn game. Very unlikely though unfortunately Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Col city fan Posted 23 April Share Posted 23 April (edited) We wouldn’t be Leicester fans without thinking this ain’t gonna be straightforward… I predict a Desmond tonight Southampton will want this just as much as we do.

Yeah but we need to play some 4D chess and draw tonight, so that Southampton still need a result and take some points off Leeds on the final day.

South Shire Fox Posted 23 April Share Posted 23 April Adam Armstrong and Che Adams are probably the best frontline in the league imo.. could do some damage if we give up as many chances as we did at West Brom. Plus Che Adams loves a goal at the KP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
