Can we go down?

It's funny but you just kind of accepted it at the time but that Norwich team was awful. Didn't they have that Scandi striker who was top tier "good on Football Manager" material?

Indeed - your "Scandi" player was none other than Finnish star 'Pukki' of course. However it was Jamal Lewis who scored against us in their 1-0 win shortly before Covid in the reverse Carrow Rd fixture! No wonder we bottled Champions League in the end after a team like that taking four points from us - but I still think we'd have done it had it not been for the Covid disruption.

YES!

 

Every week the possibility increases!

[phoneticerror]

I didn’t think so, until today.

[lcfcbally]

Yes

[blue army 1988]

Of course

[Ted Maul]

A 9-point deduction puts us 4 points from safety... you'd like to think weve got the individual quality to win games in Fatawu and James, but we're in trouble if their confidence goes.

[Kasey Keller]

I hope so

[FoxFossil]

With a late points deduction, we don't have the steel to escape. Looking certain to go down I'm afraid, all the stats say so  and you can only fool the stats until the chickens come home to roost.

[Livid]

Absolutely we can. The lack of fight or spirit negates any talent this squad has. 

[LCFCJohn]

To not be concerned would be the arrogant ‘we’ll be fine’ attitude from previous seasons.

 

Anyone who doubts this is where we are heading. Get your head out your a**e!.

 

If it’s not this season, it will be next once the remaining bit of talent we have left clears off.

[OntarioFox]

Sheff Utd win and the gap is 5 points.

 

Two weeks ago it was ten.

 

Points deduction and we're f**ked. We're in relegation form even without it.

 

Despise this club right now.

[HankMarvin]

Can we ever score again 

[MC Prussian]

If we continue to "play" like this (whatever this is meant to be on the pitch), we WILL go down.

[Joe90]

Absolutely, we are certainly in relegation form, no leaders on or off the pitch  zero fight this spineless team have no stomach for a fight !

[moore_94]

Struggling to score and performances are abysmal

 

A possible point deduction on its way as well

 

We definitely could go down

[STEVIE B]

I was a definite no during the week. No I’m not sure.

 

It depends on the points deduction.

Is there a maximum they’re allowed to dish out ? 

We look so easy to play against, have little threat upfront, always concede & wilt visibly when going behind. That’s a toxic cocktail that’ll cause a hangover going into each game. 

[5waller5]

It’s beginning to be a question of “can we stay up”

[Vardyshardy]

I retract my earlier statement. Yes I do think if things stay like this, we can go down 

[FoxesWalk]

A sizeable points deduction (6+) and we’d be in big trouble. We might be without one.

I actually think we are odds on for relagation with these players.

Only a couple will fight the rest couldn't give a stuff about our club.

Pick up wages each week laughing at us the paying their wages fans.

 

[Mark 'expert' Lawrenson]

No striker that can score us a few goals and it will always be a struggle. 
How (just concentrating on the above) this has been allowed to happen is beyond me. 
The so called scouts, if we indeed have any have seriously let us down with Carranza, he’s absolutely out of his depth at this level, which leaves us with Daka and Ayew out of the senior pros, both offer nothing but are on high salaries. 
Do we throw a kid in to this toxic environment, is Bamford available on a pay per game? If we continue as we are we could definitely be relegated. 
 

[djskydiver]

Yes, been in this mindset all season; with a points deduction looming and us not picking up points against teams below us it’s going to be a dogfight until the end. 

[jayfox26]

At this point, I think the question is 

 

Can we stay up?

[Kinowe Soorie]

Big fat yes after today. Can’t score and can’t defend. 0-2 against them, you know that you are in big, big trouble!

[Edingleyfox]

Of course we can. We don't have any attacking players that can score regularly, a fit no 10, someone that specialises in set pieces and defensively we look very suspect particularly with some of the full backs. However the lack of  pressing, pace and desire maybe partly due to lack of confidence was a real worry today. I think we had a nice run of fixtures early on and a couple of stunning goals from Abdul that put Leicester in a good position but now the manager faces a very tough period.
