Reading Post Match

[Ric Flair]

I might try and instigate it if we lose to cov, I can't take the pain

INSTIGATE IT NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[dandannieldanok]

anyone on this forum who wants a manager out after 4 games WELL GO AND SUPPORT ANOTHER TEAM BECAUSE WE DON,T NEED YOU

Exactly, it's ridiculous. Most of the people wanting Sousa gone were the ones slamming Mandaric for his trigger happy nature with managers in the 08/09 season. Hypocrisy at it's finest.

Plenty of spare seats down the Ricoh for people to sod off too. You won't be missed.

[haraven]

Dyer was tremendous today. Top bloke.

We need to sort the defence, and even more important, we need to score goals. We need someone to become a clinical sharp shooter.

Other than that we were immensely dissapointed to see City lose today, it was totally unfair - and ridiculous ruling by the ref. I feel sorry for the lads after this performance.

[Cropwellfox]

I wish I could share you're optimism. For me it's not felt right since before the season even started.

It may be a massive reaction in your view but I'm just passionate about the club and it hurts to see the club fading so quickly. You can't honestly say that were not capitulating at the moment with key players not happy.

I may come across as being negative but I'm just going on gut feeling and it's a feeling I've not had since the relegation season. You still wont find me booing the team but at the same time I feel I've got every right to be critical of the shower of shit which is being served to us at the moment and I'm not talking just about the performances, it's everything.

I only want to see my Leicester do well, shoot me.

My sentiments exactly, i had real hope for us to push on this season, but player for player comparing us to the side that finished last season it is unbelievable how weak we are and how quickly it's happened. Even the players who were strong for us last year don't seem the same - Hobbs & Berner. Dyer is the only one who looks to be stronger, and he has faded badly after a bright start in the last 2 seasons so i'm not holding out hope he'll carry the form on.

[buzzy]

Don't be an arsehole. I've supported Kelly, Allen, Megson and Holloway and stuck up for them when people were calling for their heads. This guy scares the shit out of me.

so did i but we do not want people who are going to judge a manager after 4 games. what will you say if we start marching up the table This guy scares the shit out of me because i bet you will not. only start to moan after a number of games ie 10 and not 4 .and by the way don,t call me an arsehole for your age GROW UP[

[Jay]

you can't use the bad luck thing all the time though, we are four games in and don't even look like winning, the players seem to have no confidence, no belief, little desire and no idea what on earth they are ment to do

[davieG]

I agree that Moreno shouldn't be played center back, too risky in this league.

Berner looked a mess today, I don't think anyones picked up on it too busy concentrating on Paulo's signings, but his legs have gone.

Or CM based on his performances.

I don't want Sousa out yet and have never called for a Manager's head less than 10 games in. Do you share other peoples concerns over the transfer requests of Gallagher, Fryatt and Wellens though? And also not just the results, but the poor performances of late. Although If you thought we were good today, then we will have differences of opinion there

[Wdywd]

We played well second half today, but apparently we can't be arsed turning up first half at the moment, which is worrying. Howard is a total joke, Oakley ahead of King is a completely laughable decision and Logan is clearly not good enough to be first choice, but we knew that anyway.

I dunno what's going on with all these transfer requests, is Sousa fooking all their WAGs or something?

[Ric Flair]

If Sousa has lost the dressing room after only 4 games then I don't see how he can trn it around. He's got a mutiny on his hands and if he allows a couple of key players leave then others will get unsettled too and we'll be right in the shitter. What's the point of giving him time? The warning signs are there, let's cut our losses and start again. Off you go.

i share the concerns but we do not know who the players are it's just rumours who they are.i also agree we did not play well today but i think the players don't know what sousa wants and they cannot execute is instructions

No, transfer requests don't bother me at all. The only thing that would bother me is if we weren't able to offload them before the end of the window. If we can get shot of them then great, we don't need players here that don't want to play for us. Would rather players have the guts to put in a transfer request than just stay quiet. As for the players in particular: Fryatt hasn't looked half the player he was since his jaw injury. Gallagher has had little impact at the club bar a couple of wonder goals. Wellens appears to play well, but what are the stats behind him, he barely ever scores and I doubt his assists have hit double figures, so you're not losing as much you first think.

As for today's game, I listened to the game on the radio, so I am refraining from commenting on the performance. But the performance or result doesn't particularly bother me. It's 4 measly games, the manager needs time to implement his views and the players need time to get used to his system. 2 weeks is a drop in the ocean. In my opinion the manager needs to be judged comprehensively after 3 months of competitive football.

Bloody ridiculous. Where on earth are you getting this 'losing the dressing room' bollocks? You really have been a massive tool on this whole issue, why don't you like Sousa? It seems like you have a personal vendetta...

Oh and on a separate issue (unrelated to Flair), when did our supporters became such idiots when it comes to origins of the manager or players? Why do we need 'British' players? Why does it matter that Sousa is Portuguese?

[The MayneFox]

i thought we were piss poor today.....

im not calling for sousas head...will see after the "Big Three" games ,CAR,COV,QPR

if we get under 5 points after the three games...(5/21)

i wont be impressed!!!

give him time....try not to give him money so he can waste it on player like Moreno

i think at times like these we (fans) should not be arguing yet.....

lets argue after 8 games

[CosbehFox]

It matters when he can barely speak the language fluent. How does he communicate his team-talk without using the same words as he does every interview. 'Passion, commitment, intensity'

As for British players, it goes without saying. How many successful foreigners in Championship? Having a young talented British player is also a valuable sellable asset.

To be fair although I don't support Ricks calling for the sacking of Sousa. I do think the news tonight of 3 of the first team players (Gallagher, Fryatt and Wellens) handing in transfer requests 4 games in, is an possible indication their is unrest at the club

Something isn't quite right at the club. There seems to be a lack of leadership on the pitch, no-one wants to take the initiative.

Many players look a shadow of what they were before.

But we're going on heresay on that fact, nothing has been confirmed and yet people are losing their heads...

I called you an arsehole because you seem to think that anyone who doesn't agree with you should support another team. I'll criticise the club/manager/players if I want to so gfy.

I haven't called for his sacking yet but his time is running out rapidly. It's not just the defeats, it's the manner of the defeats. We've gone backwards since Sousa's arrived.What if the doom mongers are right and by keeping Sousa on for another 6 games we end up losing all our good young prospects and we're 10 points adrift at the bottom of the league.

You say that, but what if Hobbs joins them and maybe more players as a sign of protest not to the Club, but the Manager?? I don't believe you will give him 3months if things continue and players don't want to play for the manager any more. I'm not saying we are at that stage at all, but equally, it would not be a shock if this happened due to the latest developments and rumours.

To me, Leicester is bigger than any player AND any manager! I understand your point if players handed in transfer requests, then why would we want them here anyway, however, the Manager must also take responsibility for this unrest too. To me, it isn't the club the players want out from, it is the Manager! Therefore, who is in the wrong??

If we sell them as you say, then on top of the 2 or 3 players we already need, we will need a further 3 to cover these players leaving. So you're looking at 4-6 players required with very little time left before the transfer window closes!

But we're going on heresay on that fact, nothing has been confirmed and yet people are losing their heads...

BERT confirmed it. He isn't usually wrong

[Edmund]

But you're missing the most obvious point. There's got to be a reason why their putting transfer requests in. Are you saying that doesn't concern you?

[Daggers]

SACK

OF

FVCKING

SHITE!

Players - woeful

Sousa - clueless

Mandaric - liar

Semi-anonymous evil Asian owners - evil

I fvcking hate this club, the clueless morons who support it and the wankers who run it. Cockbadgers, every mother****ing one of them.

[Jake SH]

Was at the game today thought first 10 mins we looked ok as a team, i cant understand why we have an inability as a team to not look where we pass, i understand that they are going under a new philosophy that needs confidence but the distribution was awful, Oakley had a shocker and paulo was right to sub him he shouldn't be seen as untouchable as he is a captain. Lamey awful positioning and no communication with moreno at the back . Build the partnership of Morrison and Hobbs at the back and push moreno up field.

Also what on earth was going on with the corner issue ? Team players yelling at one another because they dont want to take it ? We been getting so many set pieces in matches isn't it time we started causing problems from them ?

As for people on Radio Leicester we need stability sacking managers isn't gonna do anything, people who are calling for him to go have no reason to moan at the average life span of a manager today. Finally Lloyd Dyer take a bow always puts 100% into his game ran his legs off and what a beauty of a goal

[dandannieldanok]

Players put in transfer requests all the time. What about DJ Campbell and Nicky Adams under Pearson. It's no different in reality, but I'm sure I'll get a reply as to why Im wrong and that is much more worrying. So what if 3 players want out under Sousa, that's their prerogative. It happens all the time in football. Why does everyone have to be such babies about it, they want to leave and I'm sure the club will get them out, it happens so get over it.

And as for 'a sign of protest' , you're not giving the players enough credit, they're not as reactionary as most people on here.
