We aren't viewed as a good team. I noticed this in the Cov game….. they were talking about us as if we were a league two side playing Cov in the cup…… it was a genuine shock that we had a fairly decent first half, but second half it was like “ah this is the Leicester city we know”….

In terms of a full 90, it's no exaggeration - 100% of games this has not been achieved all season. It's preposterous. I saw the Blackwell second half stat. It's no surprise and while I think the second halves are a problem, I tend to find that if we haven't had a shit second half it's because we had a shit first The performance levels really have been unacceptably bad. Fotmobs xg table has us bloody 21st. That's absolutely ridiculous but it sort of reflects the eye test. 1
lee7 Posted 19 January Posted 19 January I think even if we lost 5-0 Cifuentes would still keep his job I predict that we will be 3-0 down by half time and we'll pull two late goals back that will make it look like the match was competitive.
Sunbury Fox Posted 19 January Posted 19 January From what I've seen of them, Wrexham get a lot of crosses into the box and are great at attacking them. Dealing with that should be meat and drink for our keeper and defence.
Dan Posted 19 January Posted 19 January (edited) Thomas will end up playing because he won't play Ricardo twice in a week. Unless he plays both Choudhury and Aluko. Aluko hasn't started a league game that wasn't forced by suspension either. Edited 19 January by Dan 3
Wymsey Posted 20 January Posted 20 January (edited) Just can't see a defeat. They're pretty average, whilst think Cifuentes will hang on more - knowing a defeat will mean a very likely uphill battle for the play-offs. Play a 3-5-2, so that the defensive weaknesses can be protected. Edited 20 January by Wymsey
Benji Posted 20 January Posted 20 January Assumed this was at the weekend. The suffering comes around fast in the Championship. 2

The only good second halves have been because we’ve gone behind and are chasing it while the other team changes to try and absorb pressure. Can’t think of a game where we’ve better team in both halves, possibly Ipswich but we tried our best to mess that up

Can’t think of a game where we’ve better team in both halves, possibly Ipswich but we tried our best to mess that up Ipswich was a strange game. We didn't really do much wrong but I didn't find it all that convincing a performance either even though it was obviously the best result of the season. I wasn't remotely surprised by what got served up the weekend after either put it that way. I still don't think we have put in a good 90 minutes since Preston away in April 2024 and I'm not sure there's another side in this division you could aim that at. Even Sheffield Wednesday I'd imagine would've had some gooduns under Rohl and they kind of have an excuse. The level of performance we serve up is a total disgrace. Edited 20 January by Dan 1
Pliskin Posted 20 January Posted 20 January There’s literally no point event paying attention to this game. We all know it’s a nailed on defeat, what is the pattern? Two fluky wins followed by two defeats? 1

fox_favourite Posted 20 January Posted 20 January (edited) I'm just going to pretend this game isn't happening. See the disappointment at the end. But losing to Wrexham will show how far we have fallen and how far they have come. Also considering they have some ex Leicester players as well! Who would have thought 4-5 years ago that we'll be playing Wrexham in the same league and for them to be above us. Fair play to them. Our club stinks like Wanlip Edited 20 January by fox_favourite 1
James_lcfc Posted 20 January Posted 20 January Thought they were the worst team we've played against so far in the home fixture...and we still couldn't beat them. 2-0 loss incoming.
ClaphamFox Posted 20 January Posted 20 January (edited) I was very confident before the Coventry game—I felt certain that it would be one of those games when the team actually showed up. And for 45mins I felt vindicated before the inevitable collapse proved me wrong. I'm more pessimistic tonight than I have been for any game this season. A strong, physical team playing at home that is usually better under the lights and is determined to bounce back from a shock defeat? I just can't see our players standing up to the onslaught they'll face this evening. It would be great if I am again proved wrong, but I can't see it this time. Edited 20 January by ClaphamFox 3

I feel exactly the same, I was confident on Saturday.
Pliskin Posted 20 January Posted 20 January It’s the fact they will absolutely want this more than us. Which is a hideous thought.
Rubbersoul Posted 20 January Posted 20 January Wrexham were absolutely crap in the reverse fixture until they realised we aren’t actually very good & their manager made some changes. 3
Stuntman_Mike Posted 20 January Posted 20 January I'd be very surprised if we didn't lose this. It's got 3-1 written all over it.
The Year Of The Fox Posted 20 January Posted 20 January Genuinely not sure why people think Cifruentes would be sacked Do they not remember Brendan Rodgers or even Ruud? 3
Gazza M Posted 20 January Posted 20 January Gotta score 2 at least as we will concede. Have done for last 25 matches or so.

Claridge Posted 20 January Posted 20 January I just don't get why people are so doom and gloom about this one
