hackneyfox Posted 12 March 2012 Posted 12 March 2012 He hasn't replaced Wellens, Dyer or Howard. He brought in Drinkwater and then plyed him on the wing on Saturday. He played Howard. I didn't want him back, hoped that given time he might put it right but when we are still playing Dyer (I don't care how much he has improved) and then give a game to Howard he can fook off sharpish. Reading fan at work was slating Schmeichel, this would be due to coaching from Sturridge, he should be sacked pronto.

Wellens didnt need replacing, he was player of the year after all!!!! The manager would of been slated if he'd of sold Wellens at the time. Howard, yes isnt the worlds best option, but at the moment we dont have too many more options as Vassell/Waghorn are out and he's only gor Schlupp who's learning his trade plus he's not a target man. Finally replacing Dyer is silly too, yes he's no Giggs, but did you not watch him against Derby? He's probably thes best wide man we currently have so no point getting rid until we have better.... something Nigel hasnt been able to do as yet

We have no chance of promotion whilst people like Wellens, Dyer and Howard are anywhere near the first choice eleven. I have been saying this for years now and I am still right. Almost all our best performances this season have still been without those 'muppets' on the pitch. Bring back Yuki and Gelson!

But those players (plus Gallagher and King) were apparently influential in tempting the manager to return to the club. He can expected to stick with them until at least the end of the season.

And that's where you lose all credibility Oh and just because Wellens has been crap this year doesn't mean you were right to slate him on last season's performances, so you're still wrong in that respect.

He can expected to stick with them until at least the end of the season. Actually Gallagher's been dropped, Howard doesn't start and King is injured so it's hardly the case with those 3 is it? And it's such a shame Dyer and Wellens are keeping legends such as Moussa and er....Gallagher out the side.... If he's still playing them next season fair enough, slate him then.

Reading fan at work was slating Schmeichel, this would be due to coaching from Sturridge, he should be sacked pronto. Wellens was great for majority of his time here, he was weak this season when the other players were weak. Sven tried to replace Wellens but always went back to him too... It's got nothing to do with NP, he's just one of the better midfielders at the club Dyer has done pretty excellently Everyone & his dog knows we need someone with similar to skills to Howard, he will be replaced but as far as I can remember Sven was in charge in the summer when most business is done & players contracts usually expire... and teams can wheel & deal to replace whoever it is we're buying off them. Playing Drinkwater on the wing? Well Wellens & Danns have been pretty solid of late, dropping either of them would be harsh before the game... Maybe after it, who knows... We don't get to see them training and Wellens is captain material, one of the few on the pitch who can talk to & guide others, Drinky is a young lad & he'll get his chance and could go on to hundreds of appearances given his age. Getting rid of players is something you can do when you can sign players who are better, Marshall & Drinky could go on to better and allow players to leave, but it's all a very different prospect to signing 218 players in the summer & hoping something works, realising it doesn't really work to the level expected then asking the players you replaced to step back in and pick up the pieces. Yes, I too worry about Stowell's influence on Kasper

Almost all our best performances this season have still been without those 'muppets' on the pitch. Bring back Yuki and Gelson! Sorry mate, not a chance.... Howard maybe, i'd agree to a certain extent but slating Wellens and Dyer, imo, is a disgrace. Im not denying Wellens hasnt been at his best but he's has some terrific games at times and ran the show. Your the sort of fan that thinks we can just buy anyone we want and have the best players in the division all the time.... Doesnt work like that! Was you slating Dyer and Wellens against Southampton away, Norwich away, Cardiff home, Derby away etc..... NO, you seem to pick on these guys EVERY time we lose.... Maybe look at some of the other guys taking responsibility and give these guys a chance!

Only 'certain' Leicester fans would say something like this..... its actually laughable how fickle some fans are
Babylon Posted 12 March 2012 Posted 12 March 2012 Almost all our best performances this season have still been without those 'muppets' on the pitch. Norwich, Southampton, Forest, Cardiff home.... What game were we brilliant when they weren't present then? Derby at home, and we were flattered by two late goals.
jonlcfc1990 Posted 12 March 2012 Posted 12 March 2012 Norwich, Southampton, Forest, Cardiff home.... What game were we brilliant when they weren't present then? Derby at home, and we were flattered by two late goals. Agree as always it's no coincidence that when Wellens has a good game we have a much better chance of winning the game. He bossed Norwich and he looked in his prime, The trouble is he's started the season too late for us

He bossed Norwich and he looked in his prime, The trouble is he's started the season too late for us And remember what a full-strength, fully-committed Norwich side did to Wellens last season. Most quality managers in this league have worked him out. When opponents start putting tackles in and deny him space, he goes into hiding. This has happened time and again this season. His best days are behind him and it's time to move on without him.

Babylon Posted 12 March 2012 Posted 12 March 2012 Most quality managers in this league have worked him out. And yet out of 11 games against the top six we have only lost 4 games.
LCFC_FAN_1995 Posted 12 March 2012 Posted 12 March 2012 although i donk think pearson should go i think the owners will sack him due to the fact he has had more time than sven and hasnt got us into the plays offs but i dont want owners to do that but i think they will. How has he? Sven had all last season which if he didn't keep changing the side we would of probably go in the play offs, I mean remember Vitor at Scunthorpe, got MOTM and got 2 goals then got dropped next game! Pearson however has come to a team with lots of delusions of grandeur and has had 4 months and people expecting us to straight the way to winning ways, All the media with the ridiculous spending by Sven has put great pressure on us this season and when we face small teams such as Bristol City and Barnsley they were up for it more than we are. For Sven the owners said they wanted promotion in 2 years, they gave him that and after that ridiculous spending we wasn't even in the play offs and I think they felt that it would be another season of disappointment. They wanted a championship experienced manager and Pearson is one, they won't get rid of him, next season he should and i expect to have all season, and if we don't get promotion he will be gone

NP has not given us harmony in the dressing room rumour has it thats why Sven was booted. He has also made some pledges about performances and results and consistancy that have not happened. Also not in his favour is our continued form against struggling sides. And whatever anyone thinks about him having a close season and it not being his squad say what you like on here our owners won't think the same. Part of his remit will have been to work with the squad we have and adding 1 or 2 players to make it work. A poor cup exit could see him out.
Zingari Posted 13 March 2012 Posted 13 March 2012 “Keep Pearson” and “keep the backbone of this team” because that was a terrific performance tonight and shows we are a very capable side with the skill and ability to beat the best on our day. Please, please please no more wholesale changes in management or team personnel ,and let the nucleus of this team develop and give Nigel the time to make changes only when he feels the time is right and the right players becomes available . No more change for change sake just to try to get instant success. It will not work, so please be patient. Nigel is easily a good enough manager and the basis of the team is easily a good enough to progress but they just need time and our support

It's a weird one as last time NP led us in the Champ we tended to struggle a bit against the top sides but had the knack of over-powering and often thrashing teams at the lower end of the table. Now it's the other way round! I think once Nige gets the team completely round to his way of thinking (ie digging in and slugging it out when needs be and treating every game with equal importance) we will start to dominate the weaker teams in the division too whilst having enough to defeat the best sides. I think a lot of our woes have been due to poor attitude, I really believe that some of the guys we've bought just don't fancy it against the some of the 'scrappier' sides & NP is slowly but surely addressing that.

Guest Col city fan Posted 15 March 2012 Posted 15 March 2012 If there's ever an argument that teams should stick with their managers until they are absolutely sure they need changing its this morning. Megson has been linked with Wolves!!! McCarthy out, Megson in? The world of football is crackers!
