Crazy people, imagine going to watch your team when they aren’t doing good. We should only go watch Leicester when they are doing good.
 

Great “supporters”.

[Foxmeister]

I don’t want us to lose even if it would see the end of RM (I’m not sure it would anyway), but I’ve got very little enthusiasm for Saturday.

Like I said in an earlier post.... we are going Grimsby vs Northampton instead 🤣 takes away the pressure of a 2hr drive and coming home pissed off.

Really interested to see what style of play the manager will serve up for this. Always keeps you guessing that one.

[TamuffFox]

I think we need just one more look at John Thomas and Booby Reid....they've not had the chance to impress yet....

As he always does he'll keep the opposition guessing and will probably go for rush goalie

 

They won't know their arses from their elbow. 

 

Leicester 1 Doncaster 4

Do we think he will go 3 at that back like in the Peterborough 2nd half?

 

Or was that just to try and limit them to 3 goals?

[EastAnglianFox]

He’s hopefully already thinking about his payoff and doubles down on Martin ball at the weekend

May as well put 1 at the back. Same result.

[weusedtobegood]

Is it possible to play with a real goalkeeper, two centerhalfs who cover each other and maybe a winger who passes the ball forward. 

Other than that I would appreciate a win but obviously thats dreaming.

It does make a difference. When going for a back 3 he also wouldnt play such a high line. 

 

He's used it to save his ass in the past. Wouldnt put it past him doing it, getting a result, then some stabilty, then going back to a back 4 and getting pumped again.

I think you’re giving him too much credit personally. He looks miserable, I don’t think he wants to be here any longer as the fans have been ‘mean’ to him and rocked his massive ego.

 

Also what I meant was that our defence is so shit that even a weak Peterborough and Oxford can penetrate it easier than Bonnie Blue. So 4, 3 or even 1, we’re ****ed. Especially with McCarthy between the sticks.

"29,839" according to KP propaganda last weekend vs Posh. 

[Sunbury Fox]

Just to really p1ss off the fans, he might go with:

 

McCarthy

 

Coullibaly

Okoli

Souttar

O'Hora

Thomas

 

Lundstram

Reid

 

Burns

Cullen

Watson

 

[adejo92]

Really torn as always.

 

Half of me wants us to win in the hope we turn things around & start to climb the table.

 

The other half wants us to get absolutely humiliated in the hope its a step closer to a new manager.

 

Getting the odd result does nothing for us long term, it just plasters over cracks and buys him more time.

Peterborough were 15/4 today.  

Despite new manager bounce.

Despite that manager being Robbie Savage.

15/4 & yes I did collect because what else do you do with this sihtshow these days.

 

If you put £100 on every team Leicester faced this season in all competitions, you’d currently be £815 in profit.

 

You’d probably only need 4 more defeats to be guaranteed to end the season in profit.

With 4 teams going down... £25@16/1 

Should cover the League 2 season ticket

[LCFC1996]

Just seen this, bit surprising to see us moving the game to Loughborough 

[ronnup]

Hoping for lots of shots

[ARM1968]

Win possession easy. 20+ shots on goal. Lose 2 or 3-1. Standard Brussel masterclass. 

[rtukuk]

Time for 3-5-2. We are getting overpowered, dominated on corners. You need to fight your way out of L1

Souttar, Kanasniemi and O'Hora all at the back

Update

[jimsmallman]

We will have the first shot of the game, and then another 19 or 20 during the game, Riis will score one. All of the other shots will not be on target.

 

85 per cent possession, so a clear upward trend. Another big positive to go with the amazing training this week.

 

Team rotated to include all the experience because the children won’t listen to Martin’s tactical genius.

 

1-3 Doncaster.

 

O’Hora error, McCarthy error, one of the young lads on as a sub makes the slightest of errors leading to an eventual goal but he gets all the blame and misses the next ten games.
