WetFlannel Posted 2 February 2008 Posted 2 February 2008 Ok when we are playing in league 1 , you can go to all these new grounds and enjoy them. Mattock is nothing speical. Just because he is english and 17 wow. 17! You obviously bare no regard to real football. In fact, I give up. Your talking so much crap tonight your not even worth a reply...
Hugo Sanchez Posted 2 February 2008 Posted 2 February 2008 dont worry. we will beat plymouth next saturday and the forum will be flooded of play off posts again We're going down, lose 3-0 and Ollie will say it was the pitches fault.
Ultra Posted 2 February 2008 Posted 2 February 2008 dont worry. we will beat plymouth next saturday and the forum will be flooded of play off posts again We are NOT going to the playoffs - unless the league extends them to include the top 20. The facts are these: * We haven't won back-to-back-games all season. * We haven't won ANY of our last eight away games. * Even at home, our win-loss ratio is 50:50. Let's concentrate on reaching the 50-point target. Today's evidence showed we'll struggle just as badly to reach it as we have done in the past three seasons.
Uncle Albert Posted 2 February 2008 Posted 2 February 2008 We're going down, lose 3-0 and Ollie will say it was the pitches fault. Dont you get tired of typing the same thing? "We are going down" such a penis. You call yourself a fan of the club and you mock about us going down. What a fan you are.
lavrentis Posted 2 February 2008 Posted 2 February 2008 Ah was a good day out and a good atmosphere. Some funny moments as some comical lads took their shirts off and ran up the side of the pitch even though it was freezing. Blackpool did make some good noise though.
SamL Posted 2 February 2008 Posted 2 February 2008 Ok when we are playing in league 1 , you can go to all these new grounds and enjoy them. Mattock is nothing speical. Just because he is english and 17 wow. Ok. If Mattock is nothing special why has he got Premier League teams sniffing around? Also, being a member of the England Under 21's must mean he's got potential. Give him time, he's young and ambitious. His consistency will improve. He's not going to improve with muppets like you slagging him off when you haven't even been to the game.
WetFlannel Posted 2 February 2008 Posted 2 February 2008 Hugo would love to see us relegated. Just to prove a point.

Dames Posted 2 February 2008 Posted 2 February 2008 Ok when we are playing in league 1 , you can go to all these new grounds and enjoy them. Mattock is nothing speical. Just because he is english and 17 wow. Your making a fool of yourself. Just go. Have a cup of tea and contemplate on where to go from there, just make sure its far away from here.
Shrenchel Posted 2 February 2008 Posted 2 February 2008 What about Laczko ? Ched said he was awesome. Was I watching a different game?! Thought he was completely ineffectual
Lillehamring Posted 2 February 2008 Posted 2 February 2008 No but they have a better idea than somebody who didn't go to the game. Fact. Thank you, somebody who actually sees the point of this thread. ach, i'm sick of this elitist bullshit, these so-called paragons of wisdom... at no stage have i tried to suggest that 'a particular event' occured today, all i have done is raise questions and yet anything i say is somehow invalidated because i wasn't in attendance. brilliant. so, all i am supposed to do is sit back and listen to what people may or may not have seen. yes, of course being at a game gives you a position to pass on information, but why should that prevent me from particiipating in discussion. if i want nothing more than an eyewitness account i'll buy a newspaper and read a professional and unbiased report. what tiresome snobbery has ruined this forum in the space of a few months, used to be a time when i felt comfortable discussing a game with people who did or did not go to the matches, now i feel like i can't write a word without some kind of disclaimer, some humble apology for my worthless and wholly inaccurate thoughts (even when they happen to fall inline with the opinions of those who were at the game). patronising, self righteous killjoys... no wonder TPH doesn't venture into this self satisfying hole of miserable anally rentetive pricks. it's only a freakin game, why do you people feel the need to police a forum that serves the intrinsic pupose of providing a vehicle for debate, why insist on common sense in the discussion of football, and why, for god's sake, demand some kind of virtual membership to be entitled to discuss the team we are all here because of.
Thracian Posted 2 February 2008 Posted 2 February 2008 I'm beginning to wonder if I'm going to seriously regret saying Holloway should get til Christmas to sort our team out. Ultra is right. If Hollaway wants to be critical he should start with himself. And by the time he's finished dealing with that aspect it'll be late into the night and he'll have fallen asleep. Make no mistake Leicester weren't unlucky. Blackpool got the ball in our net three times and had several other good chances. Just like his mentor MON, Grayson's team had people who did things. specialists in their job. Not world beaters, Blackpool can't afford that, but people who represented particular components who he'd blended together in a complimentary unit. Some things are written in football and Dickov scoring was written in capital letters but we still let it happen. All the way home I've wondered if Michael Jackson should be City's manager cos we're in Never Never Land thinking about the Premiership. You don't get into top grade football with our mentality. The game should have been over in the first half, or even the first five minutes when the home side went ahead after an earlier goal had been disallowed for a questionable offside. The goals were virtually identical in construction. Longish ball over and between centre-back and full-back, genuine wide man and friends running on to it as City claimed offside, thank you very much. Leicester's good fortune was that Grayson went into caution mode instead of going for the throat and City survived until half-time with only two or three genuine chances to trouble them. Holloway replaced Mattock and Laczko with Chambers and Campbell - no argument with those decisions - and after some settling in Leicester enjoyed 15/20 minutes of decent pass-and-move football at the end of which Howard scored his goal - a simple one but clinically taken from Hume's low pass. Blackpool at this stage looked somewhat like a busted flush. But just when we needed more of the same we changed, Just Like That! Whether specific orders were issued I don't know - there were conversations on the side with players who clearly went running off to deliver instructions - but, whatever, the passing and moving stopped, attacking players were suddenly left without support and while never trying to run time down we certainly never for a moment chased a winner. And once the quick, early closing down ended and we started sitting further back Blackpool introduced fresh, positive players and really went for victory, timing the inevitably worrying introduction of Dickov perfectly. And who better to have in the box around sluggish, basically aerial defenders than the impish, always alert Dickov? And how we paid for not dealing with him either by continuing to play high and keeping him away from the penalty box or by having a fast, mobile defender like Stearman to mark him. So basically we were nieve. We would clearly have settled for the draw which goes with the theory of win at home, draw away and which is, sadly, forever flawed. That's not the right attitude. We failed to make plans for Dickov. We changed a method that was working for one that didn't and even removed goalmaker Hume for no reason or purpose I could understand. There were other factors. Hume out of postition, Chambers out of position, Laczko in a world of his own with no apparent sense of direction and Mattock being Mattock, of mixed ability in defence and of no consequence going forward because he always had enough to cope in other areas. I was with the home fans and their verdict on Leicester was damning ... "not up to much at all." And that was cold reality at half-time among themselves, not while they were throwing taunts at their rivals from the stands. I thought it would be hard to contain myself in Blackpool's main stand but we had seven shots all told, three were on target and I can't remember any of them apart from the goal because they were all instantly forgettable. There were no saving graces. It wasn't an awful performance like Hull or Burnley away by all accounts. We just lacked too many required skills and, on top of those skills, we lacked character, cohesion, leadership and, most important the attitude needed to win football matches. I said we'd need to score two goals at least to take anything and we failed in that quest because we never really tried to score twice. They won because they tried to win and our battle is at the relegation end, make no mistake about that. And so many of the people who might have offered worthwhile options have either gone or been sidelined. Bizarre.
Ashley Posted 2 February 2008 Posted 2 February 2008 Any one got any videos of us Leicester fans bouncing up and down for most of the game?

Ok, I can see your point. Sorry, I think I got the wrong end of the stick on that one. Thanks for trying to insult me though But yes, of course you can participate in discussions.
Guest Posted 2 February 2008 Posted 2 February 2008 ah, so now i see your point daggers, by attending the game one can be 100% certain of what actually happened..... So what added benefits do you get in listening to someone on the radio who, in all fairness, spends most of the time talking out of his arse? To be honest mate, i can bet my life that i been to more Leicester games home and away then you. Your just one of them typical idiots who jumped on the leicester band wagon when we moved to the walkers like most Leicester fans these days. Bully for you. Do you want a medal?
Daggers Posted 2 February 2008 Posted 2 February 2008 <chip on shoulder> To date, not one person has had a pop at you. You have been wibbling on for weeks now because of some perceived challenge to your right to debate. No one has. The point has been directed at the little ignorant children...but if you feel comfortable in their company then go ahead and indulge. davieG, have a word with your son - tell him to stop making a total twat of himself and hand him his toys back...they're going to be pretty worn by now with all the pram chucking that's gone on. I'm sure his abusive tirades must make you so proud.
Joe. Posted 2 February 2008 Posted 2 February 2008 Just thought this was notable. Possession: Blackpool 64% Leicester 36%. Just goes to show how much we tried to pass the ball eh? <_<
OzFox311 Posted 2 February 2008 Posted 2 February 2008 One week it's all cheers and smiles for the team, the next week it's Ollie out again... geez this is a fickle bunch As for this performance, yes it's disappointing we didn't turn up to play for the opening half, yes it's disappointing we failed to ensure we got away with a draw after we got back.... I think we need to remember though that this is a team of pretty much new faces now... and it's going to take a while for them all to click... and there is going to be some pretty poor games to go with the good ones, the key is to salvage what we can from the poor ones, something we didn't do today. Am I disappointed, yes I am, but am I calling for heads, no I am not... there's enough promise to suggest they'll come back from this a lot better than sides in the past have... I don't think we are going to see a slump here... but expect a rollercoaster... anyone who didn't expect one with our club after all our past seasons, doesn't know the club well enough..

Agreed
lildave3 Posted 2 February 2008 Posted 2 February 2008 Well, that was a pretty damn poor performance. We really should be going to places like these and winning. More importantly, it was a great away day. Winning Goleo was naturally the high part. Throwing him around the stands until it was chucked over the back was genius.
DB11 Posted 2 February 2008 Posted 2 February 2008 Can't see it anywhere else http://www.lcfc.premiumtv.co.uk/page/Lates...1231720,00.html Ian Holloway says a poor first half performance cost his side after they went down 2-1 at the hands of Blackpool on Saturday afternoon.City were a goal down within two minutes of the game - Gary Taylor-Fletcher collecting a long ball forward and slotting home past Ben Alnwick. Steve Howard looked to have salvaged a point for the Foxes midway through the second period, but a late goal from substitute and former Leicester hero Paul Dickov sent the visitors home empty handed. Holloway said: "We didn't deserve anything out of the first half today. We let a goal in, which came about following an unbelievable schoolboy error, and never recovered from that. "The conditions were awful for both side, but I felt that Blackpool adapted to them better than we did. "They have had two shots in the whole game and scored from both of them. "I am just bitterly disappointed that after the way we attacked in the second half we didn't get anything out of the game. But we didn't urn up for 45 minutes and I am absolutely fuming. "I think we were a tad inexperienced in certain areas today. You shouldn't be able to hit a ball 40 yards right in behind your back four for someone to control it and then slot it in the net. That's actually what happened in the first two minutes of the game and that is something that I am going to have to have a look at. "We have now got to dust ourselves off and realise where we re. We could have climbed up the division today but now we have dropped back. We have got to realise that we are in a right scrap."
