Dan LCFC Posted 13 March 2014 Share Posted 13 March 2014 As a fanbase we need to be realistic but not be walked over by a lot of them. Out of Man Utd, Liverpool, Chelsea, Tottenham, Man City & Arsenal - you would think in twelve games, we are going to win one of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonthefox Posted 13 March 2014 Author Share Posted 13 March 2014 Chelsea fans think they'll beat us. "OMFG, how can they think that? We beat them 2-0 in 1998, have some respect, fvcking prlcks". Link?. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
promised land Posted 13 March 2014 Share Posted 13 March 2014 As a fanbase we need to be realistic but not be walked over by a lot of them. Out of Man Utd, Liverpool, Chelsea, Tottenham, Man City & Arsenal - you would think in twelve games, we are going to win one of them. Going on this season United are the weakest link there but it would still be a mammoth task to beat them. Surely if we go up we should be looking at bottom third teams to get points from for a start. Recent Championship sides spring to mind. Walk before you run and all that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lavrentis Posted 13 March 2014 Share Posted 13 March 2014 How is this thread still going. It's a little odd to care so much about what other fans think. A little tinpot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Istilllovefilbert Posted 15 March 2014 Share Posted 15 March 2014 Talk-fookin-sport at five am this morning had Matt Laurence, (former Palace and Millwall player) talking about the competitiveness of the championship, and previewing the fixtures, blah, blah, blah. I nearly phoned in for a rant after he spent the first five minutes praising Burnley and the manager for a wonderful job they are doing, and when I heard, "compared to teams that have huge squads like QPR, Forest and Leicester..." I reached for my phone. But to be fair he then did go on to say how fantastic we are, and barring a miracle, we'll romp promotion. However, it did make me think, will City and Pearson get the credit they deserve? It shouldn't bother me what anyone else thinks, but it does.

It's an ignorant, easy, throw away quote which shows him up for the idiot he is. Anybody with any knowledge at all knows what a small squad we have comparatively. Wouldn't get worked up by it. We probably won't get the credit we deserve from all quarters but some will recognise what a great job Nige and Co. have actually done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UpTheLeagueFox Posted 15 March 2014 Share Posted 15 March 2014 (edited) Does it really matter if we don't get "the credit we deserve" from the wider world? Promotion and hopefully the title will do me just fine edit: Matt Lawrence is not a bad pundit, as it goes.

We probably won't get the credit we deserve from all quarters but some will recognise what a great job Nige and Co. have actually done Without wanting to defend the journos, its probably the fact that we have a strong squad rather than a big squad than causes this assumption.

Haydos Posted 15 March 2014 Share Posted 15 March 2014 (edited) The large squad thing really fvcks me off, we are near the bottom of the 'fewest players used' table. Edited 15 March 2014 by Haydos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fez of Mahrez Posted 15 March 2014 Share Posted 15 March 2014 (edited) The large squad thing really fvcks me off, we are near the bottom of the 'fewest players used' table. I don't necessarily disagree with you but I bet most of those at the top would have had loanees coming in and out all the time rather than possessing a large squad all season, whereas our squad has been fairly consistent without the need for short-term loan players. Also, Forest would be seen as having a large squad yet they've only used 3 more players than us. Edited 15 March 2014 by Fez Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxes1 Posted 15 March 2014 Share Posted 15 March 2014 it not the size of the squad that matters it's the quality in it and lets face it we have more quality in ours than most of the others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluesbrothers Posted 15 March 2014 Share Posted 15 March 2014 Click the "squad" tab and note that we have the 4th smallest in the league. Then note that Billy Davies has the 3rd biggest in the league at his disposal, and consider his constant complaints about injuries. Suggests that he either doesn't know shit about a good signing, or is straight-up lying about his squad being stretched, but failing to admit that he doesn't trust his back-upto do a job. God, I love being a Leicester fan at the minute. If the worst we can bring on is the likes of GTF, who played a blinder today, we are in a wonderful place.
