What's with the random subsisting Okoli on despite the fact we're losing? Done it a couple of times now.

When we push up he wants pace on the break. He went 352 so wanted faster CBs as he knows most of the team is going to push up.

Massively improved?

 

Thats just bollox

compared to how we was under Cooper, yeah id say we've improved

[Gamble92]

What a ****ing miserable bunch of people. It's more than doable and we have competed well in last couple of games. Foxestalk predicted none of our achievements. It even almost unanimously said we'd struggle to get back up last season. If anything the fact most of you have given up is probably the biggest indication we'll be okay.

Is it? Over the past couple of games are passing the ball around with more confidence, we are defending better than we have, it's just individual errors that have cost us. We player Man City and Villa in those games. The squad is short but we're miles better than the chaos Cooper left

[filbertway]

I actually don't mind Ruud so far and there's no point judging him too much. He's been dealt a tough hand and then it's got even tougher with key players getting injured.

 

We're going to need to see brave performances against teams in the bottom 8 (when he finally starts playing them). Games against the bottom half are gonna be very important.

think its the fact we're doing the same mistakes week in and out, the same player too, and hes not been dropped,

as a team we look better than what we did under Cooper, but RVN has to have the balls to drop JJ for starters

right? people seem to be memory holing just how bad we were under Cooper, where success would look like managing more than 1 shot on target

Yet we were scoring more. Bizarre.

If we go down I don't think we'll go down again, with Ben Nelson, Wanya, Mcateer, Alves and even the likes of BDCR, Thomas and Cannon sticking around, it should be enough to keep us up regardless of a points deduction, and then recharge for the 26/27 season for a championship push.

Well Justin made a balls up and its infuriating because we deserved a point. The difference between that and Wolves was night and day. I don't think you can watch the last 2 games and think everything is done. 

 

I honesty wouldn't even mind the negativity if it felt like it was coming from people who wanted us to do well. It's the same old shit you read on here, almost gloating about us doing shit. You don't moan 0-0 half time away at a Champions League team because of stuff like how it must look to neutrals. Who gives a ****? There used to be this old couple with season tickets who used to be the same. Laughing every time we'd go behind and mocking players. It's such a weird mentality and it's full of it on here.

What irks me, is there’s still no evidence of a long term project. The employment of cooper has literally killed us, his recruitment was ****ing insane, and it’s set us off track massively. Instead of signing shit like Ayew and BDR we should have been signing young players with the ability to improve. Look at both Fulham and Bournemouth, they went down with good young teams, and bounced back because of the project they were building. Something Burnley are now trying to do. With us there’s nothing but leaping from one horror show to another. If (and it is still and if) we go, Ruud will clear off, we will end up in a mess in terms of embargo’s and points deductions, and will probably try and get Neil Warnock to come and manage us. 
 

The club is the ****ing pits from top down. Sort the ****ing club out Top, get some actual football people around you. Health dependant is be on the phone to Pearson and offering him a consultancy role within the club, we needs ripping apart and starting again. It’s ****ing criminal. 

It is entirely possible that our points deduction massively cost us not only with player recruitment, but manager recruitment. 

I think we employed Cooper, and did our best to support what he wanted in transfers, which is why we are where we are.

As for the future, I think PSR is still causing us massive grief. We can't complain at the club not making signings when newspapers are reporting we've broken PSR again, because if we have, we're relegated anyway

walk away from a 30 month contract, makes sense

If he has any self respect he wouldn't want to be associated with this shambles of a club. He'd get another job, probably more easily than if he stayed and went down with this squad.

and creating less. having a couple of players on a hot streak does not make a competent attack, you'd have thought we'd know this given we pretended Maddison and Tielemans having a goal of the month competition between themselves was a functional attack for the majority of 22/23

It's the Leicester way. Not just in football. In everything. Zero civic pride.

Results have been shit 

arguably stock is and will be lower then you have to factor in the unreliability of jacking a job I don’t think he would get a job more easily. He wasn’t exactly linked to good jobs anyway and put his hat in the ring for Cov

You need players for that Harry and we don't have any.

I mean i'm not sure either argument is positive here but people like stats and whether we're creating more or not the simple stat is we we're scoring more and getting more results compared to now.

 

That wasn't good enough though and neither is what we're seeing now.

Mate everyone has their own opinion, if you dont like the comments good or bad dont read them, not everyone agrees with you that's life.

thats the thing, on the whole i think we've done alright under RVN; what annoys me is, in spells this season we've looked really good, I have to admit ive been negative with it, cos he keeps picking JJ when the poor sod shouldnt be playing, I think most can accept a defeat if we play well, like the Man City game,i thought we deserved more from that and another day we would have got it,

It ain’t a bad job is it being at Leicester???? 
Like every manager all he’ll want is money to spend to get the players he wants , only then we’ll be able to judge him FACT 

[Paninistickers]

Well, I've absolutely torn into the guy but that's two games we've looked organised and playing with clear instructions. 

 

However, I balance that that they were games where 6 points were there for the taking of a confident side. 

 

His subs were wrong, again. Right two introduced but 15 mins too late.And for Bilal?! 

 

If the fella has any chance, he's gotta roll the dice and play Bounnotte and Bilal together. And be big enough to drop Vards. Cooper was terrified to do the obvious and drop the goat. But this guy should have the ego to do so. 

 

Big worries for Vesty injury tho. Another key player gone.

It’s a results business, and Ruud isn’t getting them

that was the same under Cooper, and he had everyone to pick from too, but the performances were horrific under him too

Sustainability is always key, under Cooper we only just managed double figures in terms of shots on target across all of his home games, which included a game against an Everton side who'd conceded 4 in every game before that (we had 2 shots on target in that game).
