How About We Give Holloway a Chance?

Recommended Posts

Secondly me and others were on about playoffs 2 games ago, because before these games happened, we had been on a good run and we weren't playing the best teams in the world, Blackpool down there with us and Plymouth who have lost all their best players so games i expected us to win.

Thats how tight this division is, IF we had won those 2 games we would now be just 5 points off the playoffs. Thats why before those 2 games i was saying we could reach the playoffs.

The division is tight like i said so, with 2 DEFEATS, you can move nearer to the relegation zone and thats what we have done.

The playoffs were realistic 2 games ago, can't you people get that into your heads! On the other hand 2 defeats and you are near the relegation zone, thats a fact look at the table.

It's retards such as you being the main reason why I started this whole bloody thread. Yes, we weren't far from the play-offs but:

1 - The table does not go to a complete holt when we play. The teams up there win the majority of their games (hence the reason why they're up there), so the gap will not close as quickly as you think it would. If we had won two games, the gap would not be 5 points. ITS A FACT LOOK AT THE TABLE.

2 - If we need to make the play-offs the team needs to be reliable and consistent. That is what makes the good teams good. We are not consistent - we are not good.

We are not going up. Please. Get. That. Into. Your. Head.

You fooking thick *******! I can't believe you!

you think i just plucked 5 points off the playoffs out of the air, ******.

ITS A FACT LOOK AT THE TABLE, we are now 11 points off the playoffs,

If we had won both games we would have an extra 6 points

And 11-6=5 points off the playoffs.

Simple people like you make me sick

Well - if there was ever a post to test the mettle of the new Foxestalk Special Forces/Forum Parachute Regiment - then that abusive post has to be it.

Anybody fancy a sweep on the first new official to amend/delete said abusive post? My money is on Danny Shittu.

:laugh:

The playoffs were never realistic.

Is this the anti-bandwagon bandwagon? I'm in.

Personally I think that what our squad needs and has needed is a whole new attitude, not new players, and with enough time Holloway is absolutely the best man for that job.

Here...Here :clap:

No im merely saying he has had a great chance so far but his yet to take it.

Millions of pounds to spend, money to pay off the deadwood, he has had a great chance.

He needs to take this chance soon though because its not me who decides if he goes or any of us lot. its Milan.

I can't see Milan keeping Ollie for much longer if we keep losing games.

he has been here 5 minutes

there is a culture for sacking managers now, generally in football, but at leicester especially because of earlier events in the season. it will achieve nothin by sacking holloway other than meaning a new manager coming in and if he hasnt turned all the results and internal problems within a month(like holloway is supposed to have done after being able to sign his own players) then he should be sacked too!!

He is saying people such as yourself as very reactionary. Win a couple and talk of playoffs, lose a couple and talk of relegation. We had been good against Cov, rubbish against Norwich and average against Palace. It hardly filled me full of confidence that the play offs were a possibility.

We are actually only about one point closer to relegation than we were before these two games.

Oh and mind your language.

But with that statement, you're completely forgetting that some of the teams above us are going to win.

Fooking hell!

Paul Scholes is a quality player, a world class player. Leicester have 0 world class players and 0 quality players at that level so our players cannot play in different positions.

Secondly me and others were on about playoffs 2 games ago, because before these games happened, we had been on a good run and we weren't playing the best teams in the world, Blackpool down there with us and Plymouth who have lost all their best players so games i expected us to win.

I also hate these give Holloway a chance? I don't want him to go yet, but he has had a good chance. He has bought his own players in so had a great chance so far, much more than FB, and MA had. He has had a lot of games, changed formations tactics and players, played some youngsters, he has had a fantastic chance and hasn't taken it as yet.

Three months in a football management is not a chance, let alone a good one. Anybody who thinks otherwise displays a distinct lack of knowledge of the game. Imagine if people had forced Martin O'Neill out after his first 9 games in charge. Of which he won none by the way. A manager needs a summer to make a club his own. Its simply ridiculous to suggest that a few short term signings who have been together for less than a month should be climbing he table at the rate which some seem to expect.

I am sick to the back teeth of reading "Holloway out" threads and the like that I thought I'd better start one in defence of the man. The guy has assembled a team that most would agree that, in theory, would be capable of a top half finish. However, there is only so much motivation that a manager can give to his team, and we all know how passionate Holloway is about getting us out of this mire we currently find ourselves in. The players themselves must surely account for some of the plain shitness that we've witnessed this season, and Holloway has recognised their clear lack of effort.

The fans of City also play their part in the amount of times we have seemed to have crushing dissapointments this season. It is one extreme or the other. We're pushing for the play-offs or in a relegation dogfight, and when the fans build up the expectation and hype around the team, it only sets us up for another loss and dissapointment.

Alot of posters have also mentioned Holloway's "tactical naiivaty". Yesterday I witnessed Alex Ferguson play Paul Scholes in defensive midfield. Now, I'm only 17, but I know that Paul Scholes is not a defensive midfielder. If Holloway had pulled such a move he'd of been slated by one and all on here.

I don't think that we'll get releated, but I subscribe to the Carlton Palmer theory that "We must win our home games and scrape what we can away." It's not so hard to believe when you think that our home form was steadily improving pre-Plymouth, that was, of course, when were "play-off hopefulls".

I just wish that the fans would stop jumping the gun.

Well said...i couldnt agree more! :thumbup:

Thats impossible with some Leicester fans.

I totally agree with that Ollie shouldn't be sacked. He should however have a good look at some of the players, and see if they are up to what City will be going through in the upcoming months.

the mark of a good manager is one who can inspire a group of players to perform at least to the best of their ability and use a system that suits the players at his disposal, if your trying to play with wingers then you need a fast flowing pitch n not a paddy field. if we are going to sack anyone it should be the groundsman........our surface is only fit for growing spuds in!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good post.

Lets give him time and then judge him once he has been here long enough to form a realistic opinion.

The above phrase, directed at me, carries a certian sense of hypocrisy.

Didn't you once start a thread titled "Hume is rubbish" (or something along those lines), only for someone to point out that your signature consisted of one word, that word being "Huuummmeee!"

I was merely pointing out that it is possible for teams above us to win.

You idiotic cum gullet.
