Tilley Posted 27 April 2008 Posted 27 April 2008 We'll the morning after, and the first thing I did was switch the TV on & it was The Championship round-up, that soon went off, I'm still shocked we lost 3 - 1.

I think we were fortunate to only lose 3-1, Wednesday had far too much time and space on the ball, if their crossing in the first half was better it could have been a lot worse. They must love playing at the Walkers.
syston_fox Posted 27 April 2008 Author Posted 27 April 2008 And the truth is we are going to places we've never been before, places I thought I would never see Leicester City play a LEAGUE match at.Maybe we should do what some of the players do, just don't let it bother you, have a drink and a laugh after the game. Who would have thought that Swansea would be in a league above us....... or that Hereford with Trevor Benjamin or Darlington with Tommy Wright and Julian Joachim could well be be bringing teams to the walkers for league games.
Steven Posted 27 April 2008 Posted 27 April 2008 As soon as I saw our reaction after taking the lead it seemed like I was watching a tragedy slowly unfold.Incidents like Henderson's penalty save and Hume preparing to take our penalty changed my mood momentarily but mostly I just felt like shaking my head and afterwards just went and sat all alone on a wall and sank a single pint of Weston's crumpy as if the last supper had gone liquid only. I felt drained as if I'd been sadly let down. It was like making a date with the girl of your dreams and she didn't show up. Was that you outside that pub just up the road from the Robert Peel?
Thracian Posted 27 April 2008 Posted 27 April 2008 Was that you outside that pub just up the road from the Robert Peel? Certainly was. The Swan was closed and I didn't feel like talking anyway.
Corky Posted 27 April 2008 Posted 27 April 2008 Certainly was. The Swan was closed and I didn't feel like talking anyway. If you'd waited a bit longer Thrac you could have joined the rest of the team in the nightclub they went to. You missed out there.
syston_fox Posted 27 April 2008 Author Posted 27 April 2008 Fck it we might win some games next season wheeeeeeeeeeeeeey We said exactly the same when we were relegated from the premiership
Narborough Bod Posted 27 April 2008 Posted 27 April 2008 As soon as I saw our reaction after taking the lead it seemed like I was watching a tragedy slowly unfold.Incidents like Henderson's penalty save and Hume preparing to take our penalty changed my mood momentarily but mostly I just felt like shaking my head and afterwards just went and sat all alone on a wall and sank a single pint of Weston's scrumpy as if the last supper had gone liquid only. I felt drained as if I'd been sadly let down. It was like making a date with the girl of your dreams and she didn't show up. You'd have left the house all excited as if it was going to be one of the great days of your life and gradually the minutes would pass and reluctantly you'd realise she wasn't going to show, you'd wonder why and slowly realise that the day had turned into one of the worst instead of the best. There's a shock to yesterday's result, not an obviously dramatic one, but one that feels as if it will hang around indefinitely. There's a stunned feeling too as if I've been overcome by something so subtle as to be difficult to define. That outwardly wonderful stadium, those seething hoardes of fans, the whole spectacle almost certainly condemned to the wilderness of Division One. This morning too I was struck by the irony out there. Most dramatically the irony of Kisnorbo's injury. I've grumbled about his passing all season and if he'd been a confident passer I'm sure he'd have seen yesterday's battle out. But he's not. He knew there was a simple pass inside but didn't trust himself to deliver and instead attempted too tight a turn and an unbalanced safety first clearance with devastating consequences all round. Then the thought that it was experienced players far, far more than our two surviving youngsters who so badly let us down. People like N'Gotty, Hayles, Howard, Clapham and McAuley who did no more than chug around like rustic shunters. Their collective lack of pace and movement was too big a handicap. And what made it worse was seeing the way the slicker players like Stearman, Wesolowski, Hume and Bell exposed the vulnerability of Wednesday's defence. We needed a team like that, not four players. Not that it matters anymore. The result is in the records, the flaws that have been unattended for so long have finally led us into the Last Chance Saloon and we are deep - perhaps inextricably embedded - in the proverbial brown stuff. Totally agree, and do you not think that this one game encompasses our whole season. A feeling of optimism at the start, something to cheer about, then a lack of belief and confidence followed by a saddening realisation that we are incapable of showing the detarmination and guts necessary to drag ourselves out of the mire. The most depressing point is that, should West Brom beat Soton, our destiny is still in our own hands, yet I would bet that at least 95% of fans (me included) are already fearing the worse.
Darkzzz_ Posted 27 April 2008 Posted 27 April 2008 We said exactly the same when we were relegated from the premiership And do people really think League one is easy?? I am very worried we might not even stay in that league....

Like the players, I'm thinking of switching teams.

If West Brom do beat Southampton and we later survive by defauft there are still some who'll gloss over Holloway's failings. To me it makes not the slightest difference. He seems way out of his depth, I cannot imagine him changing cos there's been no signs of it so far and his record at Leicester is one that would have embarrassed me into resignation through the shame of it.

Was it me, or did you say one of your sons is a Southampton fan?
Thracian Posted 27 April 2008 Posted 27 April 2008 Like the players, I'm thinking of switching teams. I can imagine that! You'd be there if City had one supporter left and were reduced to playing on Viccy Park.
Corky Posted 27 April 2008 Posted 27 April 2008 I can imagine that! You'd be there if City had one supporter left and were reduced to playing on Viccy Park. Oh yes, standing up, drinking near the pitch, no music after goals. Bring it on!
Guest Posted 27 April 2008 Posted 27 April 2008 I can imagine that! You'd be there if City had one supporter left and were reduced to playing on Viccy Park. That would be me, the one solitary fan. Am I really that predictable?
Thracian Posted 27 April 2008 Posted 27 April 2008 That would be me, the one solitary fan. Am I really that predictable? Perhaps we'll get to find out the way things are going.
Corky Posted 27 April 2008 Posted 27 April 2008 That would be me, the one solitary fan. Am I really that predictable? I'll be there with you Lisa.
Steven Posted 27 April 2008 Posted 27 April 2008 Certainly was. The Swan was closed and I didn't feel like talking anyway. I should have introduced myself. I couldn't have stayed as I had to catch a train so no danger of a long conversation.

Have a worryong tendancy to agree that of we don't go down it will be glossed over. More of the same, ship out the dross, ship in another 10-15 players to totally change the squad - looking at solving the issue in hand rather than fixing the underlying problem.
Ultra Posted 27 April 2008 Posted 27 April 2008 Certainly was. The Swan was closed and I didn't feel like talking anyway. Actually, the Swan was not closed. The landlord had a door open at the back and let regulars in. There was a beer festival on, so at least we could drown some of our sorrows!
