It actually makes sense. If they're shit scared of playing at home, a full practice session at the KP might mitigate that a little bit. 

To be fair, the atmosphere was probably better than a match day! 

[Pliskin]

0-2 Preston.

I don't think the money really comes into it. Highly-paid sports professionals are still affected by nerves. If you're in a relegation scrap and your confidence is low after a crap season, being booed by your own fans will only ever make things worse. And booing your players when they're subbed onto the pitch is moronic, no matter who they are. The only people who say, "They're paid loads, booing shouldn't affect them" are people who've never been in that situation and have no idea what they're talking about.

Protests before the game? Fine and necessary. Booing during the game when we desperately need the points to survive? Pure hillbilly, thick-as-pigshit behaviour, that.

These players havent shown they are desperate to survive but they have been sleep walking towards relegation whilst raking in thousands upon thousands of pounds.

 

They are only human but I dont see any of them giving their wages back to the club because they have not been doing the bare minimum for what they are paid to do.

Obviously times have changed but it used to be a common practice in the past the team would always do a training session at the stadium a few days before a game 

Just seems strange training there when we have a £100m training ground but then again probably trying to avoid injuries at the training ground, seem to have had no end of injuries since moving there.

Don’t mind it training at the stadium - trying something different- can’t be worse so why not - might as well have them training in the streets up town 

[jim5000]

If we can’t beat Preston at home we deserve to be relegated

[Chairman of the Bored]

The bottom line is surely this:

 

Turn against the team (whoever's in it) and we likely impact them negatively. 

 

We lose and we're on the cusp of dropping into League One.

 

90% of the squad won't be here next season if we go down. 

 

End result: 

 

It's the fans that suffer.

It would be really nice if we could tank them 4/5-0. Give us a boost of confidence to take into the remaining 6. Hopefully backed up by a result Monday.

For all its been worth, I think anything different is good. Seagrave is a ****ing albatros around our neck

Would be nice to not play passive football and show some fight like we want to stay up. Norwich and QPR games have got me worried that even we can lose this easily against a team already in the beach

QPR especially worrying as it looked like we could really turn the screw after 20 mins, then completely stepped off and go what we deserved. Cannot afford that kind of mentality again

He's in Argentina for the friendly there that starts at around 10pm BST tomorrow. 

Let us join hands and hope to God his return flight is cancelled indefinetl. 

[teblin]

The QPR games was terrible. Need not another repeat of that. Norwich for me wasn’t as bad as I thought they we a decent side.

 

Im going with no hope, but hopefully they prove me wrong.

An attempt to alleviate their fear of playing at home? 

Pretty sure Brian Little changed things a couple of months into his first year at Leicester. The away form was decent whilst home form had dropped off,  so he had the players meet at the training ground and travel by coach to Filbert Street as if to replicate the away games approach.

I was at the Snooker in Leicester other year and some reprobate did a loud, uncompromising and incredibly smelly fart as Murphy secured a 120 break.

 

And it was still better than the Spion Kop flask drinkers.

[adejo92]

Can see us giving this a good go now having had the international break.

 

Feeling confident. 

 

3-0 Preston.

2-1

Who do you want to see play on Friday?

That is a very relevant point  😂 

[Gamble92]

I've come up with a new pre match idea.

 

Those shirt cannons but with forgettable players from our past on the shirts.

 

I want to hear some obese, Henri Lloyd wearing gammon behind me shout who's Luigi Glombard?

Truth is this those that are leaving the club already have plans in place ...  so they will just go through the motions 

As a team and club I personally cannot see enough fight to keep us out of league one

If the club want posivity from the fans ...  then give us something on the pitch to be positive about ....  its as simple as that

Think we'll draw today and back it up with defeat on Monday. 

Never known such a bunch of spineless players.

Jakub in goal for a crucial match, gives me nasty shudders
