Just remembered Ayew picking the ball out the net after his pen, like we we're chasing the game and not moments away from half time with the lead.

 

Another small example of how brain dead this squad is.  

I think he was making a point of not celebrating his goal there, and sending a two fingered salute to our fans!

28000 only tonight also - piss poor attendance somewhat understandable but still shit 

It wasn't that many.

 

But even if it was, that would be a very good attendance for a night game in the pissing rain, with a half empty away end and with us having strikers who would be on Coalville Town's bench.

[Sol thewall Bamba]

Not even mad about it to be honest, that goal for them changes absolutely nothing for our club. SELL SELL SELL.

Yep I understand completely 

 

I was at work yet again so couldn't go 

 

torn between us needing mass protests or alternatively attendances drop below 20k so Top gets the message 🤔

Why?

 

What's his problem?

He’d been roundly booed about 5 minutes before when we were breaking, had their defense outnumbered and he received the ball and turned back

[purpleronnie]

I wonder when we'll have a manager that once we take the lead we actually try to score another instead of thinking we can see it out because season after season we lose so many points from winning positions, rodgers was the master at this, we seem to think we can hold teams off it rarely works but we keep on trying.

Perhaps we could do a swap with Coalville Town, nothing to lose?

[Sol thewall Bamba]

We were utterly desperate last night thinking back about it. Can't pass to each other, no patterns of play, looked hideously unfit. 

 

We'll be right in it if the points deduction is serious.

[Noahfence]

We’re now 14 games in and the players look like they don’t have a clue how they’re meant to be playing. He’s a terrible coach.

Hand on heart, I would sooner see Ronnie Morley (Coalville's main striker) play for us than Daka, Carranza or Ayew.

28000 ... no way more like 25000 tops ... club include sold season tickets in that not bums on seats ... to watch yet another un inspiring performance with not a sign of improvement.... let's be honest the penalty was dubious to say the least VAR would have put that outside the box ... Its the board, Top and Rudkin who need to take full responsibility... they are lining Marti up to be the next fall guy

[Pliskin]

Actual= Bums on seats.

Official= Actually NON Official but will be ALL tickets sold even if folks don't attend i.e ST holders who didn't 

So it was about 18k - 19k then? 

[UniFox21]

Structurally we were solid, but we offered absolutely nothing going forward at all.

[Winstonthedog]

I've asked this question before... but exactly who is out of contract next summer ??  ....

Yep one hell of a day. Pissed it down. Trains were chaotic. 

[Harpenden Fox]

Attendance was 27,902. I was so bored I counted the empty seats

[st albans fox]

The fitness is what counts 

Average players can cover up some of this with intensity and fitness 

 

players that don’t care aren’t fit enough and just won’t give that extra 1/2 percent that makes the difference. 
 

watching Sunderland’s players charging around and closing down on Monday evening was so refreshing.  Enzo got a bit more out of this squad but others haven’t.   And marti is the same.   For years we’ve jogged around and you get what you deserve from that.  The odd player puts it in but it’s a team game and you have to press and harry in groups. 

 

until we change the rump of this playing staff we won’t see any change.  Those who might care just look at those who don’t and think ‘why should I be doing their running when they earn at least  double what I do’ .

I think most of us will have worked at places where this happens! It infects everyone.

His problem is that he's not up to the job and unable to face that fact

Fitness is one of the reasons they keep stopping play so much and passing back 

[suffolk fox]

Have to say in all the many years of watching Leicester City I genuinely believe this current crop are the worst ever.

There is no fight, no passion, no effort and no commitment from any of the overpaid tossers.  Collectively as a team we are so poor at  everything.

I'd love to know what they do in training.  It's abundantly clear we don't practice free kicks or corners.  We are pitiful at them.  Do our players

actually do any training?  Vast majority of them were blowing out of their backsides on around 60 minutes.  

 

We show no ambition at all of playing forwards.  We stop, check, and pass backwards all the time.  It is truly woeful.  Sick of this possession based, play it

safe crap.  We also have no leaders in that side none.  They have a player sent off, there is literally 6 minutes of play left.  We have Mavididi celebrating as if the game was won.  A leader would have got them together told them to calm down and let's see the game out.  Keep possession etc take it to the corners basics.

We decide to camp on the edge of the area, getting deeper and deeper.  We don't stop crosses coming into our box at all.  We let all put crosses in.  Even at 

schoolboy level I was told stop the cross, these muppets don't.

 

We are such a poor team.  Top and Rudkin both need to go.  It's clear Top has no interest he is never there it's now getting embarasing.  What so called top

flight club (apart Sheff Wed) has a whole row of empty seats where the owners and entourage sit.  Welcome to King Power look at the empty row.

 

We need change both at boardroom level and Coaching staff.  How we play, is down to coaching.  I include Andy King in that, we have progressively got worse since he has been a coach at our club.  Cifuentes and co have to go.  We need a re-set.  Problem is as others have said we will only go and appoint Russel Bloody Martin and this possession based pass it back claptrap will continue.
