Fulham

[kiddo]

Actually think we might get something today, they’re not great at the back (mind, neither are we!), and surely we’ve got to start putting chances away sometime.

1-1 draw.

[suffolk fox]

Another home defeat unfortunately we haven't any decent strikers, Vardy whom I love is finished at this level and we have no one on the bench who could come on and change the game.   Seriously, how has this been allowed to happen.

[Bilo]

Literally the only thing that makes me think we could get a result is the thought that the losing streak can't go on forever, even we're not bad enough to lose twenty odd in a row, and it has to change sometime. Even by blind luck.

Conveniently booked an appointment at Specsavers for 1500 today. I can't watch anymore

I'd drop one of Soumare or Winks.

 

Bring Mcateer in for Mav

 

and get Daka and Vardy up top.

 

Either that or a back 3/5

This tells you why we are going down. 

 

The team is nowhere near the level required 

 

 

We're a car that hasn't been serviced entering a professional race.

I think even RvN mentioned that we are due some luck. I was thinking the same during that second half on Wednesday. Desperate, I know but just something, a dodgy VAR call, comedy own goal, keeper error, anything.

Yeah but he played our, probably, best eleven against Palace and they spuffed it up so we've probably got the obvious knee jerk rotation and Ayew, Reid and McAteer today so we'll create nowt and still leak goals.

It's something that seems to afflict struggling teams - lucks seems to desert the players and all the marginal events go against you, eg Soumare's shot on Wednesday.  When you're flying, they all seem to go in and you get the fortunate rebounds and deflections

[Claudio Fannieri]

We need to do something different trouble is our options are pretty uninspiring and with Okoli seemingly not available as he is leaving due to homesickness limits us even more. 
 

I would tweak it slightly today and go 3 at the back if we can get Okoli’s head right and back available 

 

Stolrcyrk 

 

Faes

Vestergaard

Okoli or Justin

 

McAteer or Coulibaly 

Skipp

Winks 

Kristiansen

 

Facundo 

Bilal

 

Vardy as I think a misfiring Vards is still more effective than Daka 

 

 

 

[Bryn]

Agree I'd stick with Vardy but I'd bring Daka in earlier, 55-60 mins.

[adam]

Some of these line up suggestions are so depressing. Just shows how badly we have been managed. Complete lack of ability throughout the side.

[phoneticerror]

How are the bookies odds better for us today than against palace!?

We’ve been managed poorly from the top down yes, but Fatawu, Ricardo and Mads has been a huge blow

[Blue ROI]

Be great to watch a Leicester win today.

 

The Big Match on ITV4 is the best hope.

 

 

[Nolucklcfc]

I mean surely this run has to end at some point … 

[HybridFox]

Up the blue army!

Desperately need a win today. The run of fixtures after this game up until the end of April is scary. At best I can see us picking up 5 points over those games. With a win today that'd put us on 22 points. We'd then need a minimum of 12 points from the final 5 to stand any chance. Hate to say it but the our chances of survival look bleak unless we have a sudden unexpected upturn in form. 

[Sol thewall Bamba]

Please stick something in your pocket for the foodbank! Or if you'd prefer the lads can accept cash or card donations on both stalls if you can spare a few quid!

[Wasyls Pec Deck]

We’re moving in the direction of needing more than one win to get out of the relegation zone. We cannot let that happen. The way we bottled Palace, this is absolutely must win.

 

Will we? Will we bollocks.

[Vowels]

We feel just as close to turning it round with a bit of fortune reinforcing some decent starts to games, or shipping 5 or 6 and falling apart.

 

 

[jim5000]

We’ll play some neat and tidy possession football in the first half, a few missed chances but never really making their goalkeeper work, and we’ll limit them to 2 or 3 chances forcing good saves from Stozlazck.

 

Second half they’ll score 2 in the first twenty minutes, and then round it off on 80 mins with their third. 
 

Optimistically, we’ll get a consolation goal from Ayew in stoppage time.

 

Leicester 1 - 3 Fulham

 

Ruud to say ‘we need to be better in the important moments’ in his post match interview.

I'd be more hopeful if I thought we've just been unlucky of late,  but we just aren't good enough. Even when we play at our best, it's not good enough to beat teams.

 

We just aren't good enough to stay in the league, simple as that. I also don't believe there's any improvement to see from the likes of the Palace first half, unfortunately,  that's our peak.

 

Feels just like an inconvenience to my day going to watch now.

[Eskay]

They look well depressed walking in! 

 

I dread to think the mood in the current camp. 

[Joe90lcfc]

Yea like said, even us at our best we are just not good enough for this league, 1.2 away win

Agree ... but Ricardo is far to injury prone to be counted on ...  Mads will be gone in the summer ... and we can't be sure if Fatawu will be the same when he returns from injury
