Chimp Posted 26 April 2008 Posted 26 April 2008 Leicester are as inconsistant as the fans are fickle. For exampleWest Brom 1 Leicester 4 Leicester 2 Coventry 0 And then we go and get a load of results like this. Exactly Stig. How can the fans keep a consistent viewpoint when the team selection, the performances, the maganement decisions, the tactics and the results are so random? One minute we're seeing good things from Holloway, the next he's doing the exact opposite. One minute he seems to have come up with a winning formulae, the next minute he's changing things around so they don't work anymore. One minute we see players put in great perfromces, the next their anonymous. How the hell is the average supporter supposed to react? How can we not be seen to be changing our point of view when the subject of our attentions is in such a state of flux?
mickydeeeuk Posted 26 April 2008 Posted 26 April 2008 i really, really wanted holloway to do well as he is very likeable, used to enjoy him on soccer am etc. ...funny bloke! i have tried my best to support him and not boo, sing olly out etc. but.... after today ive made my mind up that he is tactically inept and im struggling to give him my support any more. i thought he was supposed to be good at motivating people? ...i dont know if anyone else notced, but me and my father in law both commented the players body language was like some naughty school boys shuffling onto the pitch for the second half!! didnt look pumped up & ready to stick it to em!! on the other hand if he doesnt get sacked, we dont go down and we end up getting promotion next season i'll like him again!! yup im fickle i guess!!

His tactics were awful we always throw too many foreward and leave ourselfs open at the back some managers do well at a particular club then cant hack it when they move on i think this has happened to holloway. We should never be in the bottom 3 with the player we have at the club but i think the club is rotton to the core on and off the field. My dad and myself are season ticket holders and they wouldt let him in without a fight today. He had a broken arm and always gives the chap in the turnstile his ticket to pull out but the ticket stub no 22 was missing from the book must have been pulled out before so had to go to the ticket office what a total shambles they dont deserve any fans awful club couldnt even get a shirt for my nephew as they have sold out.
Free Falling Foxes Posted 26 April 2008 Posted 26 April 2008 Heard a woman on 606 a while ago. She's fed-up with being a Man C fan so next year she's going to be a Aston Villa supporter! If only it was that simple!

Guest Posted 26 April 2008 Posted 26 April 2008 No, shes wrong because she thought he was involved with Parker. And im not wrong, because i'm going on what WALSH SAID HIMSELF ON THE RADIO. Walsh said he'd phone me, but he never did.....
The Reverend Posted 26 April 2008 Posted 26 April 2008 Walsh said he'd phone me, but he never did..... I'm not surp....... erm i mean oh, well, what can you do. He's clearly a dishonest fella..... :laugh:
Thracian Posted 26 April 2008 Posted 26 April 2008 Sickening. One week everyone loves Ollie, the next everyone wants him gone.I would love to no if people still want Holloway in charge next season if we get relegated after this result. Don't no what to say anymore, i am starting to forget what it feels like to love the club. I used to be absolutely gutted when we lost and elated when we won. Now? Tbh after so many years of failure i am never surprised to see us lose and don't really feel the pain. All the fans at the start of the season saying they don't want Warnock anywhere near our club - now we see threads cropping up about regretting the fact you wrote emails to the club saying we don't want him. I even saw a post earlier saying we should have kept Allen. We were lucky to beat Barnsley - they hit the post twice in the game and how many shots on target did we have? Before that, we drew at home to Colchester and before that lost 3-0 away at Sheff Utd. What do you think, are our fans 'fickle'? He's not impressed me almost from the off but I've understood the stability calls too. By the Watford game I was worrying and by the Southampton away game, when we'd failed to score seven times in 11 matches, I was pretty certain and only concerns about likely or potential successors bothered me.
Corky Posted 26 April 2008 Posted 26 April 2008 Ha. I rang up and they said that they would ring back if they wanted to speak to me but they never got back to me. They probably didn't ring you back because you'd have spoken sense. I listened to the phone-in on the way back to the train station, where do they get them from? That woman who referred to Walshie as "Welsh" got on my nerves. Walsh was never involved with Parker, then she mentioned something about Southampton "doing their usual" or words to that effect. What!?
Raj Posted 26 April 2008 Posted 26 April 2008 Apparently somebody called "Steve Welsh" will never make it as a manager.Numpty. Where do they get these callers from? Evington. Coalville. Shepshed. OI IM FROM EVINGTON! Actually you are right!
Aeropars Posted 26 April 2008 Posted 26 April 2008 for the record, I've never liked 'ollie' hes not proven and has no inspiration of confidence. I had the same problems with allen! Give ollie time?? Nah, he had time, money and support and he buggered it up!
Basingstoke Fox Posted 26 April 2008 Posted 26 April 2008 i started my life a dirty bloody man u fan (just followed em since Jr school??) i only started supporting leicester in my early 20's when i started going to city with my now father in law. My blood is now very firmly blue, so im of a rare breed!! i never miss a home game..... sometimes i wish id never met my bloody wife!!!! Maybe if you divorce you can give her the responsibility of supporting this team as it was hers in the first place anyway.

samuel Posted 27 April 2008 Posted 27 April 2008 I must of missed that minute That was when he was cleaning spray painted abuse from his wall!!
mickydeeeuk Posted 27 April 2008 Posted 27 April 2008 Maybe if you divorce you can give her the responsibility of supporting this team as it was hers in the first place anyway. yeah but if i divorce her: A) id have noone to cook my dinner & B) id still support the useless b'stards anyway! (unfortunately theres no turning back now!!)
purpleronnie Posted 27 April 2008 Posted 27 April 2008 Your right everyone should either hate him all the time or like him all the time, no-one should ever change their opinion. Maybe the fans who hate ollie show their disgust when we lose, but are quiet when we win, I doubt they hate him one week then love him the next.
Chimp Posted 27 April 2008 Posted 27 April 2008 I must of missed that minute Joking aside, we have pulled off some decent results this season. West Brom, Norwich and most recently Barnsley away, to name a few. This would indicate to me that we do have a team of players who have the necessary qualities to compete in this league. The reason for their inconsistency cannot be wholly laid at their feet. The majority of the blame must lay with Holloway and his inconsistent apporoach to the training, match preperation, team selection and tactics during the game. How can a club ever hope for stability when the manager himself has a major destabilising effect on the team?
