lcfc_jme Posted 27 January 2007 Share Posted 27 January 2007 He (Kelly) has admitted we're inconsistent and we need to find out why as quickly as possible to address it and get it sorted. He also says we need to do better, but are disappointed to go there, score twice and not get anything from the game as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He also says we need to do better, but are disappointed to go there, score twice and not get anything from the game as well. Very predictable. Something along scoring twice away from home and not getting a result was going to come up at some point. To be fair we have scored two away from home. Both however were very late on when we were more or less out of the game. As Thracian has said without goals from Kisnorbo we would be on even more trouble and we can thank ourselves he has scored those 7 goals for us.

Maybe I'd find it easier to be disappointed if we scored two goals and not come away with anything IF we'd scored the two goals before Cardiff scored theirs! I'm furious. They shouldn't be disappointed they scored twice away and failed to gain any points, they should be disappointed that they fell so far behind that two goals were fooking meaningless to begin with!

Thracian Posted 27 January 2007 Share Posted 27 January 2007 Do you not think if we were overloaded with this youthful quality you go on about they'd be playing already? If Porter is the best of the lot then we are in real trouble. I don't know how porter played today but he's been one of our most consistently good performers this season - and that is reflected in his player ratings, player of the month positionings etc. But to say he's the best we've got is to say nothing. He's not the same sort of player as Dodds or King or Mattock or Gradel or Sheehan or Stearman or Wesolowski or Logan. They are all different. They have different strengths and weaknesses. But broadly they can all pass and all play the same sort of football which is not the case with our team right now. I've no idea what you like about a right back playing left back, a slowish centre-back playing right-back, a central midfielder playing right wing, a striker who hardly ever scores and people on the bench who aren't fit but it sure doesn't impress me much. . I would like to see three things straight away... a) No-one selected who isn't fully fit. b) No-one chosen to play out of position, even if that means changing the system. c) No-one selected who is demonstrably out of form. In an ideal world I would also like to see... d) No-one selected who cannot pass accurately. e) No-one selected who cannot properly support the attack. We don't have an ideal world. But I'd sure like to move as close to that ideal as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeyB Posted 27 January 2007 Share Posted 27 January 2007 Post Match Comments Rob Kelly says his side will have to iron out their inconsistencies following Saturday's 3-2 defeat at the hands of Cardiff City at Ninian Park. A hat-trick from former Newcastle striker Michael Chopra put the Foxes 3-0 down going into the closing stages of the game, but despite Leicester's late rally Kelly confirmed that he had still been left bitterly disappointed by the defeat. He said: "When you come to somewhere like Cardiff and score two goals you expect to get something out of the game - but we didn't. "We shot ourselves in the foot. I know all three of Cardiff's goals were good finishes - but we should have done better with them. "You have to be careful after the game. Emotions run high and you have to make sure that they don't cloud your judgement. "What was said afterwards in the dressing room stays in there. But I was fine - nobody was chucking tea cups around. If we thought that would make us better then we would do that - but it won't. "We have got good players, but at the moment we are an inconsistent team. We have to find out what the reasons are for that and quickly address them because losing football matches doesn't do anyone any good. "We had a couple of chances when it was 1-0 that on another day we would score. But they have hit us on the break. "We will not look for excuses. We know we have got to do better. In the end we are disappointed to come here and score two goals but leave with nothing." LINK TO O.S. hu's he been paying to make excuses? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luffbra Posted 27 January 2007 Share Posted 27 January 2007 Bolton or Wigan are the way forward in the Premiership. Lincoln City (League Two)? Northampton Town (League One)? I went to watch Lincoln City today. I nearly didn't get in as I'd forgotten I was wearing my Leicester City trackie bottoms. I enjoyed watching a committed team play some half decent football ...

Thracian Posted 27 January 2007 Share Posted 27 January 2007 What utter shite from Kelly about scoring two goals.... We were 3-0 down and the game was lost before we scored two goals and gave ourselves just the faintest chance to pinch a point. I'd want to know why we've conceded eight goals in three matches and why that's only happened since he put a centre-back at right back, a right-back at left-back and continued to pick a skipper who is blatantly out of form. What RK is managing right now is not a team in the real sense. It does not ever function as a really effective unit. Even at its best it only performs for an hour or so but generally, the component parts simply do not compliment each other and contribute towards overall smooth running. And you can understand why. Kelly gave me the impression he wasn't going to play people out of position but he does - and he seems to do that mainly so he can accommodate those who seem to be his favourite players. Football doesn't work like that. You need specialists in each position and you need a modus operandi which everyone understands, adheres to and compliments. And if one component malfunctions for any period you need to replace it until you have time and opportunity to repair the broken bit or you decide it's no longer useful and get rid.

London_Fox Posted 27 January 2007 Share Posted 27 January 2007 Gives Kelly an excuse to say it was close etc etc etc How well do I know the Leicester manager...or is it that predictable? Scoring two goals when 3-0 down means nothing. It wasn't a close game, we weren't really in it to be honest and the side more likely to score (another one or two) was Cardiff not us. I think we've become too easy to predict. Any half decent city fan can tell you before the game (except for injuries) who will come on and normally get the time fairly accurate too. Any team that wants to beat us needs to watch one video to see that a quick player will beat McAuley, Maybury is on the wrong side so go outside him, put pressure on Paddy Mac and he'll make a mistake or two every game, Hughes will drift inside and is unlikely to ever try to take a player on, if things go badly we'll bring on Elvis Hammond who is quick but not very skillful, Danny C looks a threat but won't come on until the last 10 minutes. I'm sure soneone with more football knowledge then me and a few DVD's will be able to work out even more about us. We're just very predictable. Kelly must realise that and see that something has to change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davieG Posted 27 January 2007 Share Posted 27 January 2007 From Glosfox on the Fox site Just back from Cardiff. To be honest the team didn't play too badly, except for Henderson who had a nightmare. Goal number 1, he set his wall for a free kick and then guarded the same side of the net. Number 2 he did a good impression of Ian Walker, came out, went back, came out and ended up in no mans land and got lobbed. Number 3 couldn't control a pass back and gifted it to Chopra for his hat trick. But then typical Leicester they go and score 2 just to give you that little bit of hope.

lookwhaticando Posted 27 January 2007 Share Posted 27 January 2007 No, it's because Luton are shit too and we should be winning them games if we want to stay up. Too right.

lcfc_jme Posted 27 January 2007 Share Posted 27 January 2007 No, it's because Luton are shit too and we should be winning them games if we want to stay up. Cardiff weren't exactly awesome today though. The commentary team thought they were an average outfit, with the exception of Chopra. I seem to remember that we play very poorly against weaker or inferior opposition yet "raise our game" when it comes to playing better sides. Next weeks game is very important to us though and no less than a win is acceptable from it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat Burger Posted 27 January 2007 Share Posted 27 January 2007 I like it how Kelly says we're inconsistent. Surely we'd be positioned in or around mid table if that were the case? I know it's close on terms of points, but we haven't been in the top half for bloody ages. When was the last time we got a thumping win or pummelled a team in the league? I think we're more consistently bad than anything, and that's why the only people who think everything is ok are those who've taken a massive dose of blind faith.
