“I don’t think I’m suddenly going to put an under-23s team out there. I don’t think that’s fair either. We haven’t got five or six players from the youth team that have been doing so well that they’re suddenly going to come into this team and start.”

 

“We’ll try to make some good decisions and have a chat to the club about the ones we think can be involved. But we’ve also got a squad of players there that might be here next season, so we have to find a balance.”

 

It’s going to be the exact same side isn’t it? It’ll be Daka up front despite the fact he’s leaving. So pointless. I personally wouldn’t even be starting James in this. 

"Have a chat with the club" suggests he might not even be allowed to play sellable young assets

Ramsey was an absolutely dreadful signing, should've been shipped back as soon as the hamstring went again.

Ramsey, Antonio (almost) and Lascelles in the same season is exactly why there is no floor to this decline under Top.

 

If you can’t run an institution that learns lessons from failure (Pearson & Co did the reverse) - it’s doomed to repeat the same mistakes forever

Like his favoured 11 have been “doing so well”.

What a loser this guy is.

Lascelles too. I dread to think how much we've been paying the former captain of a UCL side.

 

We've conceded 13 goals in the 592 minutes he's played for us.

[RowlattsFox]

I think Rowett cares less about this game than I do, and it's not a very high bar. 

[Stavros81]

Fair play to those fans going tomorrow but I’d seriously **** those ***** off they don’t deserve our money and support!

Thro the good times and the bad, support the club not the regime, have seen us in league 1 before and we won the league, last time i looked in the mirror i was still a lestah fan, lestah til i die, cut my veins and blue blood, i will fight wearring my stone island and carrying my flask (If in coach 1), dance when we get relegated cos it s just the rollercoaster of supporting your club and you lot can feck off and do one...im LOYAL innit

 

[brookfox]

Managed to get a leak of the match stats:

 

Possession 59.4% 🤩
Avge team age 27.8 (third highest in the league this season) 💪

xG 2.08 (vs Blackburns 0.72) 🥳

Corners 14 😍

Final score 2-0 loss 😖

 

[RoboFox]

I can’t remember a time when I cared less about a game. And the bar has been set very, very low over the last few years.

 

Fair play to the people going to this. I can’t fathom a reason as to why you would, but fair play nonetheless.

Supported Leicester for 35 years fella through thick and thin. Back when we had players who wanted to wear the shirt with pride! These ****ers don’t care about our club or us. When the final whistle blows on Saturday we can all go again. But at this moment in time **** the players **** the owners. I’ll always love Leicester till the day I die 🦊

I’d have been happier if they’d just cancelled this game!

Is it me or does this clearly lack Claude Puel’s favourite word?

 

They just seem to be ambling around.

to be expected

[Stadt]

Should be 0 loanees in the starting XI and absolutely should be our youngest age average XI.

 

Sums us up though that in the deadest of rubbers we'll still go for experience. Despite having the most expensive training ground in the world, our academy director as the DoF and being let down by the experience over and over again.

Oxford at home was the last game I went to, that was it for me back then, in January

Rowett, you may be right on their ability level right now but for effort, work rate, desire, drive, enthusiasm, honesty, togetherness and energy I absolutely guarantee there are more than 5-6 u23’s with more of that than the random assortment of f***wits you’ll be putting on your stale tedious team sheet. What message does that give to anybody through the ranks seeing those who don’t give a toss being given starts because it might preserve Rowetts flagging  career points average. 

[Corky]

We have won 1 of our last 19 league games yet youngsters aren't pushing for a start? Players that the fans might get behind? No, can't have that.

[CloudFox]

What utter bollocks by Rowett. So none of the youth players are deserving a chance compared to the usual suspects? Otchere, Briggs, and Hutchinson have all been contributing to positive performances for the U21s. What exactly is it they have to do to "earn the right" to a first team appearance (in what will be a dead rubber game)?

 

Complete horseshit from Rowett. What a waste of time his stint at the club has been.

[Guest]

Good how Rowett said he couldn't do anything about "cultural things" like disciplining players because he's only here until the end of the season, but when it comes to giving academy prospects a chance and dropping players who've been stinking the gaff out for months (years, in some cases) he's obviously got to take next season into account, and that somehow also works against the young players rather than the experienced ones.

 

Never really makes sense to read anything into press conference or interview stuff these days but some of the wording there is funny. Nobody has been "doing so well that they're suddenly going to come into this team" - yeah, you'd have to be doing so well to break into this team wouldn't you? It would take a veritable wonderkid to meet the incredibly high standards set by the seniors here.

**** me I've seen teams look beat in the warm up but this is taking the piss. 

 

These players are still on ££££££'s a week and really do not give a **** I don't give a **** what Rowett says an him not calling them out makes him a lying ****
