How low

[fazzyfox]

I just laughed at the goal, it was surreal and felt a bit sorry for Wrexham, not that they’d had to put in much to be in a winning position, it just felt like the wrong conclusion to a half / game where we’d offered nothing. 

Our previous low under Hollohead, at least the likes of Hume, Macauley, Fryatt and Kisnorbo played like they cared, we had limited players stretching out by giving it a go to try to prevent the relegation, at least trying to turn it around.

Can’t believe I’m saying this. Been going since 1983 and season ticket holder since 1990. But for the first time ever I’m wondering if I’ll bother going to the Oxford game. 
 

Live the other side of Peterborough so every game is at least 3 hours there and back. Never waned once but the current state of this club both on and off the pitch is demoralising. 
 

Hopefully will come round by Saturday

Why not support Oadby. You'll knock 20 mins off ya travel time and parking's a doddle. Footballs about the same quality anyway.

I can't agree with your second paragraph.  The data is poor because the players are not committed and we don't have a coherent team, not because they are not good enough for this level.  Many have played at a higher level than this and the squad cost around £150m.  That's why it is a scandal that they are stinking out the championship.  Minds are elsewhere. 

 

 

I just don't see it. They may have played at a higher level but they either haven't done well at a higher level or they're now passed their best. I agree there could be a manager who could get more out of them, but leaving aside Fatawu, Winks and JJ, this is mainly a squad of mid championship quality players who should be delighted to get a point away at Wrexham

Can’t recall ever being in a position where we show as little interest ( on & off ) the pitch when we’ve scored a goal 

maybe Holloway’s time 

Even in the Holloway time, they seemed to care more they just lacked ability. 

 

I went to lots of games home and away leading up to relegation to league 1and was gutted that year. This feels worse even though it might(a say might) not result in the same outcome. Maybe its because of how far we have fallen.

Jesus that is damning 

Yeah. 

 

I don't want to come across as fairweather though. I was at Cheltenham last week. I do the hard yards and always have. Leyton Orient in league 1. Grimsby the year we were knocked out of the cup 3-0 or so. 

 

The build up of a lot of things is just wearing.

If the management of the club don’t care you can’t expect the supporters to. 

[Rubbersoul]

The players don’t believe in the manager

Pure apathy isn’t it, I’ll stick a game on and in 20 minutes I realise I just don’t want to watch it, think that Cov game took me from caring but angry to just absolutely not bothered at all

[kingfox]

I was a bit too young to understand the collapse we had from the O’Neill years into Peter Taylor and what materialised after. Then transpired the 05-08 era which was just a big steaming pile of shite.

 

What we are witnessing now feels like a mixture of the two. We had something good, but certain individuals ended up fvcking it up. Now as I’ve felt over the past year, we are seemingly on the brink of another 05-08 era, which could well lead to relegation to League 1. 
 

In all my years on this forum, I’ve never seen so many posters who’ve been on here as long as I have, maybe longer, say that they feel disconnected from Leicester City. 
 

I gave up my season ticket after the return from Covid, anxiety issues and all that. Since then, I haven’t felt any motivation to go back to the King Power stadium, just because I don’t want to associate myself and spend good money to watch this current mess. 
 

We’ve had the highest of highs, and the lowest of lows, but in my lifetime, I’ve never known the club to be in such an unlikeable position than it is now. 
 

Years of mismanagement have turned us into such an unlikeable mess. To go from the likes of Schmeichel, Morgan, Huth, Fuchs, Vardy. To Faes, Okoli, Vestergaard, Ayew and numerous other unlikeable players, is absolutely fvcking criminal.

Strange you mention Holloway.  

 

It really reminded me last night of a game at home to Colchester just before we were relegated to League 1.  We scored a last minute equaliser and Chelsea Dagger came on.  Literally we all looked at each other in the crowd knowing that it wasn't going to be enough.  No celebration, no anger, no emotion.  Just resignation.

There were police parked outside his house ( in Loughborough) before & after the Colchester match 

[copunk]

It kills me to say it but I’m just not bothered anymore. 

Gone are the days of feeling nervous and anxious on a matchday, checking the starting 11 and either feeling full of hope or dread. 

Attending or tuning in for kick off and that 90 minutes of feeling every emotion possible. 
Checking every day on the latest news about us. 
 

Like nearly every single one of our fans, I can take losing, god knows we have witnessed more defeats then triumphs. I can stomach losing if I can clearly see every player is trying, putting in everything and there’s a clear plan from the management side of things. 
There just isn’t anymore, from most players, the manager, the board, owners etc. 

 

The wife asked if we should go to the Oxford game on Saturday as tickets are available cheap. And I honestly can’t think of anything I want to do less. 

[SystonFox]

strongly considering not bothering saturday and it would take a lot for me to miss a game

 

was at Yeovil away in league 1

was at WBA at home

 I think the club had no ambition to go up this year as they realised it was almost impossible with points deduction,  spending curtailed and a few highly paid players leaving at the end of this season. It all pointed to the next big push being next season.

unfortunately the apathy from the management has seeped into the players and the fanbase.

We've been crap before.  It's not much fun, but but you can get behind crap players playing to the best of their ability. 

 

This is different.  This is a moribund team punching well below it's weight.  Going through the motions.  As supporters, we can tell and why woukd you support that? 

 

Also, the clubi is so appallingly run that our demise is entirely self-inflicted and the mistakes of the past get repeated and I think we are resigned to the fact that they will continue to be repeated going forward which takes away hope. 

Couldn't agree more.. if you have players giving their all for the shirt and putting in the effort and get beat by a better team then I can accept that.

 

This is something a whole lot different and it's genuinely toxic. I can't believe how little I care about going to the games now.

 

The rot needs to be cut out Top to bottom (no pun intended)

[AjcW]

I was annoyed that we scored. Not sure how much lower I can go than that to be perfectly honest. 

[leicesterlad1989]

I spent the best part of 15+ years convincing myself that I wasn't a lover of football, just Leicester City. Home or Away, Leicester was my priority. I've been a season ticket holder since we were in League 1. I can't even remember the last game I've been to this season and I couldn't tell you when I am likely to return either.

 

The past 3 or 4 years I've slowly fell out of love with Leicester City and fallen back in love with football. Not the shite crab football we see in the Premier League or the terrible football in the Championship we see week in week out but semi-pro football. Clubs like Anstey Nomads is where the real joy for football has returned. It's a proper cliche but its blood and guts football. A bit more direct, mixed in with some decent football. Fans mixing together and pints on the terraces. 

 

Leicester City will always been my club but I am struggling to support this current regime both on and off the pitch. I can handle being shit but what I can't handle is a lack of effort on the pitch and dishonesty from the owner/board. 

[LeePhilpottsBaldSpot]

Root‑and‑branch change is needed to stop us being the dysfunctional shell of a football club we’ve become.

 

But short‑term improvement is absolutely possible. With a proper disciplinarian in charge, we’ve got the foundations of a mid-table side and young players who could actually grow the club.

 

Stick with soft‑touch management that never fixes the rotten culture and we’ll be relegated next season - or this season if a points deduction goes badly.

 

If Pearson's fit, get him in. With Marcin Wasilewski as his assistant

Funny, that I thought the reaction to the goal was a subsconcious, inadvertent piece of unity between players and fans. 

 

Nobody was interested. Nobody saw it as a success. A stench of failure, of depression, of aimlessness. It's just all pointless until the club goes bust and we get rid of this fool owning us

 

 

Now compare that to when Wrexham equalised with us at the KP and celebrated like they’d won the game. I’ve made the decision today to not renew my ST.

 

Leicester will always be my team, but I’m not going to centre my weekends around it any longer unless the fun starts to come back. Me and my son haven’t been since before Christmas, and I’ve little interest in going on Saturday. It’s just not fun anymore.

As long as we are not relegated this season is transition. 

 

players I can get behind next season:

Nelson, Monga, Page, James, then some of youth players on loan. Abdul will go

 

players I’m neutral on:

Mavi, BDR, Skipp, Jacub 

 

Wild cards as they have been injured so long I’ve forgotten about them:

Soutttar, Kristiansen

 

We’ll be down to the bare bones so at least there has to be fresh signings to change the dynamic of the squad.

 

Vesty, Faes and Hamza are all overpaid and need to be loaned out (I’m sure there are more!)

More or less my sentiments.

 

I'd be happy to see more of Skipp - despite everything he always seems to at least try which is more than can be said for most the senior squad, including Mavididi from that same group. 

Souttar doesn't visibly come with the same baggage as the rest of the squad, but he has been around the training ground with them whilst he recovers so who knows if he's part of the rot. Kristiansen is just Thomas but with slightly different flaws.

 

 

We obviously can't go in with a full youth squad as our first XI, but it's honestly tempting. 

Begovic

Aluko - Souttar - Nelson - ???

James - Skipp

S.Thomas - Page - Monga

BDCR

 

With the subs including:

Jakub*, Gray, Cover, Evans, Hutchison (and possibly the likes of Motsi when they're ready)

 

And for next year:

Braybrooke, Alves, Cartwright

 

*I know, but he's still young and could come good. He's not exactly had the best coaches...

 

We're - at best - a mid-table Championship side, and I don't think that squad would be too far off that standard. Get rid of the deadwood and replace with a couple of smart acquisitions and we could solidify our status and start working at becoming a consistent fixture in the top 6 again, with an outside chance at promotion over the next few seasons.

 

 

Still needs that overhaul in the administrative side of the club, of course...

I wouldn't wish this club on Pearson in the state it's in. He's been through enough already...

[john ridley]

We need a manager to grab the club by the neck ,similar to what happened  when Jock Wallace  came in ,it was the same with Brian  Little,came in after several shit years and completely  changed the dynamics  of the club ,same with Martin  O'Neil.There are managers out there in the lower leagues  that deserve  a chance ,just that Top,Rudkin think we're  above that ,when we certainly aren't.
