Legend_in_blue Posted 14 January 2012 Posted 14 January 2012 We need 4 new midfield players. In a January transfer window? No chance.
EnderbyFox Posted 14 January 2012 Posted 14 January 2012 I realised it was David and not Steve but there's no harm in trying! Off-topic but, would you rather have stayed with Mcclaren than have Cotteril?
Yojoe36 Posted 14 January 2012 Posted 14 January 2012 Only one thing to say from that performance. We're fvcking shit
RedHux Posted 14 January 2012 Posted 14 January 2012 Off-topic but, would you rather have stayed with Mcclaren than have Cotteril? We could score goals when McClaren was here and Lee Camp wasn't our main playmaker. Although it is a bit like saying 'would you prefer to eat cat shit, or dog shit?'
Swalker Posted 14 January 2012 Posted 14 January 2012 Can we please have ivory coast knocked out of the cup of nations so we can have bamba back??
LCFC_FAN_1995 Posted 14 January 2012 Posted 14 January 2012 One player I think we really missed today is Yuki Abe! He is really our only midfielder who gets stuck in!
Dylan Posted 14 January 2012 Posted 14 January 2012 I wouldn't worry about Tuesday RedHux... we have a habit of knocking teams into form... -_-
lcfcadam Posted 14 January 2012 Posted 14 January 2012 We could score goals when McClaren was here and Lee Camp wasn't our main playmaker. Although it is a bit like saying 'would you prefer to eat cat shit, or dog shit?' You could call Kasper Schmeichel our main playmaker, and his distribution is often not even that great. I don't think anyone's expecting a festival of football on Tuesday night...
lcfcadam Posted 14 January 2012 Posted 14 January 2012 One player I think we really missed today is Yuki Abe! He is really our only midfielder who gets stuck in! Just out of interest did you go to Forest away? I ask because if you'd been there you would have seen a man absolutely out of his depth, totally lost, and the absolute opposite of getting stuck in.

I agree he was poor there, which is why I wasn't complaining too much when he didn't start... But after about 50-55 minutes today, we were 1-0 down, nothing was happening for us, and it was clear that our midfield was utterly pathetic and couldn't create **** all... so why not bring him on and make some attempt to salvage something from the game.... Didn't think I'd see myself saying it... but I've been very confused about some of Pearson's tactics since his return.
Grewks Posted 14 January 2012 Posted 14 January 2012 amazing how big everyone assumed this squad was at the start of the season, every time i have looked on the program we have had a smaller squad.
STEVIE B Posted 14 January 2012 Posted 14 January 2012 I'm ashamed to say that I walked out at half time. I have a season ticket,am sick of a watching a bunch of highly paid prima donnas taking me for a mug.I coach a team of U11'S who show more desire,fight and will to win.There is something very wrong at LCFC. Once the owners realise that their little hobby is out of their league we are in a bloody mess.I hope I'm very wrong.
Guest ttfn Posted 14 January 2012 Posted 14 January 2012 Most damning comment for me came on the radio afterwards. A guy called up who said he'd taken his 7 year old to the last three games. Apparently the kid said "I don't want to go any more, it's boring". We're so bad, we're actively discouraging the next generation of fans from coming.

That was a thoroughly depressing and yet absolutely nail-on-head comment

Apparently the kid said "I don't want to go any more, it's boring". We're so bad, we're actively discouraging the next generation of fans from coming. Made me think back to when I was 7 years old. We were playing well above ourselves. Couldn't be more opposed to now.
Leicester_Loyal Posted 14 January 2012 Posted 14 January 2012 Absolutely ****ing pathetic. Not bothering going Forest in the cup, I've booked the day off but I'll cancel it, I'd rather work. If it wasn't for Brightons new stadium appeal, I wouldn't go there either. We are a disgrace, about two out of the eleven players seem to care. Its effecting the fans too, at the start of the season people around me were constantly joining in with the chants, now theres about 5 of us that keep them going (I sit in K1, on the edge of L1). I'm fed up.
dave_the_fox Posted 14 January 2012 Posted 14 January 2012 Oh and by the way, how the **** did Adam le Fondre end up at Reading and not with us or a Premier League side? Adam alfonso you mean!? Sven had never heard of him Btw 21 games 6 goals..... Obviously better than beckford but still not good enough for someone to be moaning about us not getting him!
cairnsy Posted 14 January 2012 Posted 14 January 2012 Terrible performance. I cant help but think the main problem is because people never take their man on. Think about it - We always just pass sideways and up to one wing then pass back and across to another and then eventually a cross comes in when defenders are set and 99% they can clear the ball easily as it doesnt go past the first man etc. We are just too predictable and can easily be nullified especially if they rush and press quite far up the pitch. But, When players dyer and Danns actually took on their man it came to something and we looked threatening. The one good thing kingy did is one run he did, he drove at players from his own box and had to be stopped by their n0 17 who conceded a yellow card. When wellens was near his box i was screaming for him just to run into acres of space he had, but instead he just looked for he pass up top to beckford and nugent that came to nothing. Other things to mention - gallagher was piss poor and pearson was tactically inept and cant believe he made the change after 72 minutes. I thought beckford looked very up for it, making LOADS of runs and actually won quite a few headers.
beryllind Posted 14 January 2012 Posted 14 January 2012 Its depressing, what a shambles, there is very little left to be added to the posts. But the management must know by now what the squad of players they have on the books are like, so why hasn't there been some action in the transfer market already and a list of OUTS presented. The backroom team must know young, strong, up and coming players with potential from the lower leagues, who would jump at the chance to move up, get them in now and start building A TEAM, it was done before by M O'N, don't wait N P until the last day of the transfer market.
Brooksy Posted 14 January 2012 Posted 14 January 2012 Can someone tell me what Gallagher offers to the team?
montyw93 Posted 14 January 2012 Posted 14 January 2012 The fact Keith Hill said "You expect the home side, with the players that they have got, to expose themselves to the counter-attack" For me that shows up how poor and predictable we have become and some of the comments Pearson made for me where out of order I did boo not because I pay my money so I'm allowed to do what I want but because it was awful and some of the performances today were disgraceful and the decisions by Pearson where just as bad!!! Next four league games Southampton, Mboro, Cardiff and Brighton to be honest we'll be a very lucky to team to gain a point from those games I think its going to be a dreadful January transfer window unless there money grabbing players who would want to join us??

Bugg Posted 14 January 2012 Posted 14 January 2012 Oh, and I swear Andy Gray always fooking scores against us. It really pisses me off.
Barnsley Posted 14 January 2012 Posted 14 January 2012 outside looking in, i keep an eye out of you.cov/brum with family near by. i never expected anything today due to history, i saw you at oakwell under sven and couldn't believe you got a point, you were truly awful that day. today was different, 1st 60 mins you had the lions share of the play without really really threatening, we broke well and looked dangerous going forward, and should have scored 2 late on, but as an old tarn fan, you were always going to snatch something (like brum did) but no! I've (begrudgingly) always liked the leicester fight, but the last 30 mins especially it was lacking, we kept giving the ball away and you just hoofed it up for us to hoof it back or maybe break away, don't want to make that much of a deal with the money side, you are miles ahead in those terms, but credit due to our (still overpaid) bread'n'butter players. good luck for the rest of the season, you will finish above us but don't begrudge us our best tit4tat haul since time began!
