SilverFox Posted 15 February 2006 Posted 15 February 2006 The most important thing above all was not to lose and keep the points ticking over. 10 out of the last 12 is wonderful! Anyone on here would have taken that when Levein left. Well done to Rob and the lads. Keep it up!

Or, to put it another way, Matty looked keen, not anxious.
BartonFox Posted 15 February 2006 Posted 15 February 2006 lol Unbelievable lol I am just wondering how a draw at home to a team below us in the league is now considered acceptable? Can you see the issue?
lookwhaticando Posted 15 February 2006 Posted 15 February 2006 lol Unbelievable lol I am just wondering how a draw at home to a team below us in the league is now considered acceptable? Can you see the issue? I see no problems with a draw at home to Derby, despite their lower position in the league. Let's face it, we'd beaten 3 teams in a row, 2 of which are well above us in the league, and one was our closest rival as far as relegation goes. Sure, if we'd cocked up at one or more of those games, a draw at Derby would be a bitter blow as it'd have been seen as a much more crucial game - to make up lost ground. We've got 10 points from a possible 12 - 3 wins and a draw. I don't care what anyone says - thats not a bad string of results no matter how you look at it - who cares which teams we won against and which we drew against?
shen Posted 15 February 2006 Posted 15 February 2006 lol Unbelievable lol I am just wondering how a draw at home to a team below us in the league is now considered acceptable? Can you see the issue? 1 point behind us and it being a local derby... It's got close game written all over it hasn't it? The performance seemed acceptable as we could've easily won by 2 or 3, and another day we would've, but we were slightly unlucky and faced a good keeper. This NEVER would've happened in a league game a month or so ago...
Cobbo Posted 15 February 2006 Posted 15 February 2006 Thought Hume played well, but he still missed the easiest chance ever in the first 10 mins or so! Nob! We should have hammered them
andyb92 Posted 15 February 2006 Posted 15 February 2006 Anyone remember this post??? http://www.foxestalk.co.uk/forums/index.php?showtopic=16354 Well we have taken 7 from the 9 points which is frankly a bloody amazing achievement considering how woeful we have been for nearly 2 years!!! Watching Soccer Saturday the other day - what a stat 'Leicester have not won 3 games back to back for 3 years!!!!' - incredible. I do not think we should be giving anyone grief and get behind the lads, fair enough we dropped 2 points but in all honesty i think we will finish in the top half of the table this season (injury permitting). By the way what was the attendence like last night?
davieG Posted 15 February 2006 Posted 15 February 2006 I really don't want to get in a big fooking pointless row over semantics, but there is a fook load of a difference between a dictionary and a thesaurus (and what they do) and a fook load of difference between current usage and historic usage. Or, to put it another way, Matty looked keen, not anxious. To use your modern language it's fook all to do with a thesaurus or what you perceive as modern usage, it's to do with how I use the word and I'm not quite history yet . If you don't want "a big fooking pointless row over semantics" why did YOU question my use of the word then?
Michael Doyle Posted 15 February 2006 Posted 15 February 2006 10 out of a possible twelve points from the last four games is a fantastic effort even though we dropped 2 points at home to a team that are 1 point behind us. I am certainly very relieved that these points have eventuated and by the sounds of the reports and feedback on sites like these I am more confident of survival. However its not guaranteed but comparing the current pressure and comments on this site to a month ago the feedback is much more buoyant, positive and certainly more enjoyable. Should we win on Saturday (which is still a massive home game) that will be 13 out of a possible 15. Should we draw it will be 12 out of 15. Like someone else said we would have jumped at these points two or three months ago. The players are not being knocked as much and if anything supporters are pushing praise in their way. Watch the crowds come back. The other good thing is we are regularly scoring goals again, we just need to stop letting them in. From what I read Fryatt, Hume, Kisnorbo, Stearman et al are all playing with confidence. Kelly has done a great job considering. Its my understanding that some of the senior coaches left when Levine was sacked and if this is true then the job Kelly has done is even more wonderful. It leaves me one last thing to say COME ON YOU MIGHTY FOXES MadMick
Frankthefox Posted 15 February 2006 Posted 15 February 2006 I see no problems with a draw at home to Derby, despite their lower position in the league.

I don't care what anyone says - thats not a bad string of results no matter how you look at it - who cares which teams we won against and which we drew against? We have a great strike force with Hume and Fryatt - we really missed Weso in midfield - imagine Weso in there and Hughes instead of Momo-we would have had more control of the game. Derby are like us - improving under new guidance -Leeds will me more interesting they are supposed to be a 'good' side
Babylon Posted 15 February 2006 Posted 15 February 2006 lol Unbelievable lol I am just wondering how a draw at home to a team below us in the league is now considered acceptable? Can you see the issue? It's acceptable because..... Of the circumstances we were in three games ago!!! The fact Derby were well above us three games. The fact they are only 1 point behind us. Do you think we should be beating them 10-0? The fact we have won the previsous three. The fact we have got 10 points from 12. The fact 5 games ago we would probably have lost the game. The fact the effort players are showing effort and confidence. Any more?? Unbelievable.

For all the truth in what you say it was a game we should have won. Our speed up front gave the Derby defence a torrrid time and had we played Smith from the start instead of Sylla I am sure we would have collected three points, no problem. Even at half-cock Smith would have been a better bet than Sylla. So yet again in this season of strange selections we went out with a self-imposed handicap - and unnecessarily so when we had better players on the side - and this inexplicable decision quite possiby meant the difference between three points and one.

But If smith was only fit to play half a game, is it better to start him and sub him or bring him on later when you might need to change things around. And if you then are winning you can rest him.
The People's Hero Posted 15 February 2006 Posted 15 February 2006 lol Unbelievable lol I am just wondering how a draw at home to a team below us in the league is now considered acceptable? Can you see the issue? We all know you've been waiting under you rock until Kelly dropped some points. Bet you didn't think you'd have to wait until now, did you? It just makes your argument all the weaker. 10 points from 12 is bloody good... and you're complaining. You won't be happy unless Kelly fails. In fact, I doubt you're ever happy. Crawl back under your rock. I'll wake you up when we lose, then you can pull the knives out again.

I didn't say we shouldn't of won, the way the game went we should. If before you saw the game someone said is a draw acceptable should it happen, 90% would say yes.
foxes_fan Posted 15 February 2006 Posted 15 February 2006 Should of had the game won by half time, but a point is a point and we'll certainly take that at this stage of season considering the league postition we find ourselves in!
Onion Posted 15 February 2006 Posted 15 February 2006 A good game we should have won. Feel sorry for Stearman, but wish we could of got that winner. Hendersons kicking was atrocious, I rate him higher than Douglas but he seemed to had lost his bottle last night.

There are a few on here who know the score the rest haven't got a clue, they dare not criticise just in case it is deemed disloyal by others on this site. It is very appropriate that we played Derby last night Since when did Derby become a team we should eb thankful to get a point off?

It is very appropriate that we played Derby last night Since when did Derby become a team we should eb thankful to get a point off? Why are you picking out that one game in isolation? We've progressed a lot under Kelly - that cannot be denied as we never got 10 from 12 under Levein. Get off your high horse and stop talking shit.

MONreborn Posted 15 February 2006 Posted 15 February 2006 One major difference between Levein and Kellys team is that although Kelly gives less protection to the back four, he makes up for it with attacking impetus making us a goot team to watch. Although we look more likely to concede we also look more likely to score, and considering Kellys simple approach: Score more goals then your opponents, we should be prepared for being on the end off a 4-3 loss or an off day when we get hammered, but we can also look forward to hammering a few sides ourselves. We never lost by more then 2 goals under Levein but we never won by more then two goals, I can see both things changing under Kelly and us drawing very few games.
ithuriel Posted 15 February 2006 Posted 15 February 2006 having a settled back four helps. stearman odd off game but very good player. paddymac very good centerhalf and captain. kisnorbo a revelation in this position. nissa settling into the left back spot now. he did have a roughly settled midfield until weso's injury. now he has to find the right balance in midfield again. the two upfront are pretty settled too

You said it wasn't acceptable, well it is and I pointed out why. Dare not critisise!!! You're in cuckoo land mate!!! Why the hell has anyone got anything to critisise The team or Kelly for over the last 4 games. No actually you are correct... KELLY OUT, SACK THE BOARD, SELL THE PLAYERS WE DROPPED 2 OUT OF 12 POINTS!!!
