iBleedLeicesterColours Posted 17 April 2011 Posted 17 April 2011 So It looks like we may miss out on the playoffs. It so frustrating when you think back about things that have gone wrong. Sousa is an obvious one but since Sven has been here I think there has been a few things that have cost us. Inconsistency is #1 2. Throwing away that lead v 'Boro 3. King having several good goals dissallowed at the start of the season. 4. Getting 2 goals back v Watford, then throwing it away. 5. Last minute defeat to QPR. 6. Last minute v Preston 6. Failure to beat Cov, a game which we had loads of chances. 7. Ipswich away going ahead. 8. A selection of shyte performances mainly away, against Millwall, Burnley, Watford, Reading, Pompey, Ipswich etc. Im clinging on to that little bit of hope, but we don't really deserve to go up IMO. Perhaps a mongish post, but with all the 'negativity' posts/threads going about, I can't blame these people because this season has been very dissapointing at times. I'll still be there at the games getting behind the lads. On the optimist side, If you'd have offered me the current position after 9 games id have snapped your hand off.
Leicester_Loyal Posted 17 April 2011 Posted 17 April 2011 Great last minute goal against Bristol City by Waghorn as well, that went in our favour. At the end of the day, if we finish 6th, we will have deserved to be in the play offs, because of the points we have got.

If we don't though we should have capatalized at those times. When Waghorn scored it did look like Lady Luck was with us. Maybe she still might be
Mack Posted 17 April 2011 Posted 17 April 2011 Selecting Ricado to play in goal and Curtis Davies changing his mind at the last minute.
Dames Posted 17 April 2011 Posted 17 April 2011 Completely agree with your post. If we don't though we should have capatalized at those times. When Waghorn scored it did look like Lady Luck was with us. Maybe she still might be With the results Forest and Leeds have been getting lately i believe she is. It just looks like we've failed to take advantage of her gifts.
ScouseFox Posted 17 April 2011 Posted 17 April 2011 Cardiff away. We'd won like 8 out of 9 or something, were right behind the play offs, a win at Cardiff would have put us in the top 6 and only a win or so off automatic. We were totally shit, lethargic and by all accounts clueless, and lost. The run of results since then show how big a game that was. If we'd won there, momentum with us going into Cov & QPR, we'd be looking at 2nd spot now, not 12th. Ahh well, onwards and upwards, still a chance (admittedly a very small one).
iBleedLeicesterColours Posted 17 April 2011 Author Posted 17 April 2011 individual biggest moment was Boro 94th mintue for me.

Nigel Pearson being forced out by MM and LH. I am fully behind Sven but the off field turmoil and the constant changes in personnel has been our downfall this season.

Les-TA-Jon Posted 17 April 2011 Posted 17 April 2011 Whilst i agree with most of these points - i always think it's easy to look back at draws that should have been wins or losses that should have been draws etc But the fact is there is also many other games that "should" have got fewer points from - Bristol City, Sheffield Utd, Leeds on boxing day (we were rubbish all day - but were lucky to have a 5 minute period when we scored 2 goals) You can say that we should have more points from these sorts of games (Cov, QPR, Borough etc,) but you could look at every team and give them 5-10 more points that they "should" have - so doesn't it all equal out?
Dylan Posted 17 April 2011 Posted 17 April 2011 Not having a striker who can ****ing finish. Look how many chances we've missed this season. A good finishing striker and we'd be up there.
Kent Posted 17 April 2011 Posted 17 April 2011 Cardiff away.

Yeah thats the one that sticks in my mind as far as games go. You have look at SGE coming in as a pivotal moment for the good.
Brainy Posted 17 April 2011 Posted 17 April 2011 failure to beat teams above us. certainly away from home i have no hope in us beating the likes of QPR, Cardiff, Norwich, Swansea, Reading etc.etc.

Agreed, For me that is also the pivotal moment of our season. Prior to that 1st Jan - 18th Feb - 7 Wins 1 Draw 0 Losses Then our form deteriorated 22nd Feb - 16th April - 2 Wins 3 Draws 5 Losses
Simmo86 Posted 18 April 2011 Posted 18 April 2011 Selecting Ricado to play in goal and Curtis Davies changing his mind at the last minute. Jesus Christ! Get a grip!
Charl91 Posted 18 April 2011 Posted 18 April 2011 Not beating Crystal Palace at home, the team with the worst away record. Should have been easy points.
Babylon Posted 18 April 2011 Posted 18 April 2011 Having a bid turned down for Ashley Williams before the transfer window shut.
Corky Posted 18 April 2011 Posted 18 April 2011 The first half at Palace. Showed the defensive frailties in our squad that haven't been rectified all season.
Mack Posted 18 April 2011 Posted 18 April 2011 Jesus Christ! Get a grip! Even HE couldn't teach him to catch the poxy ball!
Donut Posted 18 April 2011 Posted 18 April 2011 #1 Norwich and Portsmouth away defeats The defeats signal the end of sousa as manager........and the beginning of the Sven era #2 Greg Cunningham gets injured Our settled left back gets a horrific injury and has never been replaced to the same effect #3 Cardiff Away Our long unbeaten run comes to an end, and signals a downturn in performances 4# Norwich Home The once impregnable home record goes, and our performances at Walkers begin to look shaky too, with many feeing the playoffs are slipping away 5# Palace Home For many people, not beating the side with the worst away record in the league was the final nail in the coffin
Simmo86 Posted 18 April 2011 Posted 18 April 2011 Even HE couldn't teach him to catch the poxy ball! Still not a pivotal moment in the season though is it!
Mack Posted 18 April 2011 Posted 18 April 2011 Still not a pivotal moment in the season though is it! Go and check the stats. I think you will find our downturn in results and his selection corroborate quite nicely.
Simmo86 Posted 18 April 2011 Posted 18 April 2011 Go and check the stats. I think you will find our downturn in results and his selection corroborate quite nicely. Corroborate nicely to make him a scapegoat for morons like you. Ricardo 9 Conceded in 8 games (1.125 goals per game) 1 maybe 2 mistakes out of these 8. Punching instead of catching isn't a mistake! Weale 7 Conceded in 4 games since his return (1.75 goals per game) 3 mistakes minimum so far! and Oakley saved him from another one on Saturday after his clueless postioning for Harte's free kick! Errrrr........what you got for me now?
