When you hear a call from the right back and then remember you are the ****ing right back:

 

 

I just cannot believe Ward dives out of the way of the ball. Well, I can because it's him. But for a goalie to actually move out of the way of the ball, he should be investigated for match fixing lol

 

I've never played in goal, but like most who play socially I take my turn in 5 a side or whatever and I can honestly say I would have done better there. I can't get my head around how bad it is.

 

Keep clapping him though.

Why did he go down, stand up and make yourself look big.

Do you really? Well, LCFC, pull up a chair…

Took great pleasure in filling this in. Of course a waste of time as nobody who should be taking responsibility will ever read it, but made me feel better 🤣

I’ve waited 48hrs before passing comment on this, it’s been hard to bite my tongue for so long, but I wanted to try and calm down, maybe watch the Match of the Day highlights to help me understand why we’re so flaky or maybe read the newspapers to perhaps help me to get to grips with what actually went wrong on Sunday? But I’ve chosen (and miserably failed) in trying to completely erase that abomination of a performance.

 

Two days later, I’m still absolutely seething with that completely inept showing against the Premier League’s 19th placed side. That was our biggest game of the season and 3pts was a must. The players lacked heart, desire, intelligence and none of them were playing for the badge.

 

I took my nephew to his first LCFC game. He’s been flirting with supporting Man Utd, Liverpool, Man City and Tottenham, so I thought I’d nip it in the bud and get him down the KP to turn him blue. After all there’s nothing worse than plastic football fans who choose to support big 6 teams over their local teams, poor parenting plain and simple. After that performance, I can’t blame him for wanting to support anyone but LCFC.

 

Danny Ward just isn’t good enough. The entire fanbase has known this ever since Brendan got rid of Schmeichel too early and we ended up getting relegated. Why on earth did RVN select Ward over Iversen? The sooner Hermansen and/or Stolarczyk recover the better.


James Justin has been having a howler of a season. I find it laughable that some were saying earlier in the season that he could get an ENG recall. No chance, I think his best form prior to his ACL was a flash in the pan and I don’t think we’ll see him at that level again. We badly miss Ricardo, such a shame he’s injured again.

 

Personally, I think we miss Wilf Ndidi hugely! He’s been one of our best performers this season (and last season too). When he doesn’t play, we lack physicality in midfield. The sooner he returns the better. I think a case can be made for him being our best signing of the summer (albeit a re-signing). 

 

Last summer was our biggest outlay of Net summer spend ever (£50M+)!!! Just think about that. Another shambolic summer transfer season. El Khannouss is showing some positive signs and Buononatte has been brilliant, but he’s Brighton’s player and only a loan. Oliver Skipp, wow, what a disappointment so far and for £25M. The whole idea behind buying British proven premier league players is that they should hit the ground running. We’re at the half way stage of the season now and I’m seeing Hamza putting in a better shift vs Wolves.

 

Devastated to lose Fatawu from injury all season. Nice to see Winks make a return, we just need Hermansen, Ricardo and Ndidi to come back now. This will make us competitive again at premier league level. I’m very concerned what our next 2 fixtures (Liverpool & Man City) will bring us, it could be a painful festive period. Hence, why our match vs Wolves was so important. If we lose both, that’d leave us on 14pts going into 2025, so certain relegation unless we can piece together another miraculous great escape a la Nigel Pearson 2014/15.

 

Rant over.
 

Let’s just enjoy Christmas, then go again vs Liverpool. Beating them at Anfield would be typical LCFC of old. We’ve got a decent record against them and it wasn’t that long ago we were a bogey team for Liverpool.
 

Come on you Foxes. Keep the faith

It was shocking to see how badly both ourselves and Wolves have regressed if you compare the team and performances from say around 5 years ago. Obviously we are in a worse state than Wolves but unless something changes in the way Wolves owners act they will be circling the drain each season till they finally drop. Only Everton appear to be immune from continuing to avoid the drop.

I'm bumping this up as this performance has cost us a chance, however slim, of staying up. If we had won this, we'd be in a healthier position, wolves would be in touching distance and there would be hope. As it stands, they are looking more likely to pull away. They get anything from the forest game we are starting to be cut a drift. 

 

They have more quality than us and it's now showing. @The Bear, impressed with the new manager?

Yes he's done well and basically just instilled a more simple and clear tactical plan. We look more compact and can keep better control of things defensively without hurting us when going forwards. Bigger challenges still to come but a positive first couple of weeks. We've got one incoming CB already from Reims and we're looking for another still and possibly a LB too.

Imagine getting transfers in early in the window. It’ll never catch on with Rudkin.

So your club is being proactive. What's that like?
