Cov 2-1 LCFC

[ARM1968]

First time in many years, but I actually can’t be arsed. Our owner must be able to see what’s going on and clearly doesn’t give a damn. Nor can I, frankly. 

[davieG]

Nice to see Skipp and Okoli up for the challenge in those final minutes

Not doubting his character. But as a right back, get out to your man and stop putting your defence under pressure by giving opposition the freedom to put balls into the box and stroll into the area without challenge.

Dasilva would of had loads of joy had Ricardo pressed his man, Fatawu wasn't covering back at all 

[Fox85]

We are litterally QPR of last season.

 

Lacklustre and predictable.

 

This is all on the manager generally I think we had any other manager in the league we would be in the top 6.

 

If leicester stick with Marti we will go down to league 1, the record with this team so far this season is nothing but astonishing.

 

Genuinely I would have more faith in 90% of the people on this forum to have leicester much higher in the league than this fraud.

 

He needs to be sacked. As Rafiki once said in the lion king.

 

IT IS TIME !

Best part about today was some bloke in front of me taking his Monzo (Cov's sponsor) bank card out his wallet and snapping it. 

[HankMarvin]

Still can’t have a game with an xG of 2.00

Fair play if you could spot a pattern during the 2 minutes you're talking about, but I'd suggest our problem was one team not coming out fully 'awake' and the other being fired up. This obviously isn't a great look for Cifuentes either, buy I didn't see anything to suggest we were trying to sit on a lead. 

 

TBH I'm only pushing this because one of the few things good about our performance today versus previous games was precisely that we didn't sit back as soon as we went ahead. Quite the opposite. 

 

Either/or it was an attitude problem and an uninspiring half time team talk. Maybe it was unlucky and the mental weakness showed after the goal, but it seemed pretty in keeping with what's come before for me. The likelihood of us scoring in the second half was certainly true to form.

Did that when he paid £45 for a second tier match ticket.

[AKCJ]

If Luke Thomas didn't get throttled in that dressing room then any remaining hope is lost.

[Bert]

Really frustrating. The best half we’ve had all season then just crumbled and couldn’t put anything together. Two awful goals to concede.

‘Mind the Gap Leicester City’ 

 

I didn’t think they could beat their usual inbred chants for stupidity but this is next level. 
 

What gap are they referring to?! 
 

7 major trophies to 1?

 

Us having more top flight football?

 

Us having more European football?

 

Us being more known and relevant?

 

Not to mention us winning this league 8 times to their 1.

[FosseSpark]

i think most people called that we needed more physicality and 'defending' at full back but Marti disagreed.

Weve played all season with no striker.

we are what we are...

Haha, they are an utterly irrelevant pissant little club with supporters who actually make Forest fans look normal. 

 

Literally no-one gives the tiniest of tiny shits about them apart from some of our fans in the west of the county. 

 

Playing us is the highlight of any season for them. They have nothing else. No other rivals. No-one else who cares. 

 

So let them get excited. It's literally all they have. 

[Clever Fox]

Everything about that second half performance is down to the Manager.

 

He's clearly not good enough.

Ricardo was at fault for their first for me. He come so far in field, he leaves his winger with the freedom of the pitch to come into our box which immediately puts us and the rest of the defence under huge pressure. He did it in the first half as well which led to their best chance I think it was.

 

Nelson and Okoli were both equal in my view so you name check both or neither.

 

Thomas is a disgrace.

I understand the Ricardo comment absolutely. Do you think its the systwm as he is made to press higher and slot into midfield?

Whats worse is that Jakub makes a good save there. You have 2 Cov players hungry for the rebound. 

 

Where is Riccy as well?

[RowlattsFox]

Equaliser is so fortunate. Nelson and Thomas need to be stronger.

Of the 9 big clubs in the Midlands I’d have Coventry joint last with Stoke.

I would put Walsall and Notts County above them too.

Worst part of it is giving Cov an undeserved 3 points.

Special shout-out to both sets of fans today, quiet 90% of the game and too busy throwing child-botherer accusations at one another to watch the game. Absolutely dreadful atmosphere apart from them making a bit of racket after their late winner. Proper weirdo two rows back from us who looked like Curly from Coronation Street and fell for the bait all game, to the point we had to tell him to shut up or f off home. Cov have some proper wronguns in their weird fanbase, but today was a penny drop moment for me that we're honestly not much better.

 

Also still sat at the ground as there are fights out in the road we're supposed to be leaving via. It's like watching the changing of the guard, just with extra fingers.

 

As for the football? Meh. I was raging when we lost this one under Maresca, but I've honestly had the life beaten out of me so much over the past two years that it's... whatever. Same shit, different week. 

That would no doubt be a crowd of balaclava Cov fans at the traffic lights  willing to attack any Leicester fans of  any age… was the same couple of years back there.. proper classy they are 

[JayTheFox]

Unfortunately lack of clean sheets is hurting us every week. It’s very hard to win football matches by having to score 2-3+ goals every week

Good save?? Was a scuffed shot and it was going in even if wright hadn't of touched it.

 

It think Thomas is at fault but jakub should be saving that
