wellyfox Posted 13 April 2012 Posted 13 April 2012 Having had the season he has he should be keeping his mouth shut and getting on with it. And as for one of the best seasons for the club if we go up SORRY. Taking into account the money we have spent and the players we have and at times a real lack of effort. Even if we do make it up I would put this down as being the second worse season since Frank the Wank. Also if we do manage it they really don't deserve the reception they will get at wembly and they'll all give it the billy big bollox. IMO
OriginalRobboFOX Posted 13 April 2012 Posted 13 April 2012 http://www.emfootbal...aguetables.html Looking back its normally 74-76 points required. That means we need 4 out of 4 Richie..... Blackpool made it with 70 one year.
Happy Fox Posted 13 April 2012 Posted 13 April 2012 http://www.emfootbal...aguetables.html Looking back its normally 74-76 points required. That means we need 4 out of 4 Richie..... ItIt won't be 74-76 points this year 70 points upward will do it in my opinion.
Bluetintedspecs Posted 13 April 2012 Posted 13 April 2012 I hope that we win our next 3 games and then have our play-off place confirmed going into the last game. I agree with you Babylon , as I have said in oter threads, this league is crazy i feel we will continue the winning run and other results will carry on in our favour and potentially i think we could be playing the hammers on the monday night to secure our spot in play offs!
UpTheLeagueFox Posted 13 April 2012 Posted 13 April 2012 It's all about momentum at this stage of the season. Might all go tits up but while there's hope...
Legend_in_blue Posted 13 April 2012 Posted 13 April 2012 It could be one of the best seasons since it could be Wellens' last with us... In all seriousness, we need 2 wins and 2 draws imo and the goal difference will see us through.
blueoveru Posted 13 April 2012 Posted 13 April 2012 However if him and his team mates had delivered in December when we drew all those matches instead of winning 'em against crap sides and not got humiliated by Millwall then all of this would be rendered irrellevant
MANFACE Posted 13 April 2012 Posted 13 April 2012 The last part of the season is getting good, if we get to the play-offs and WIN !!
davieG Posted 13 April 2012 Author Posted 13 April 2012 None of which makes it close to the best season in Leicester City's history
marbelladave Posted 13 April 2012 Posted 13 April 2012 It's not nonsense, what's nonsense is you suggesting the form of others teams means we still a chance It's not nonsense, you seem to be suggesting if we get into sixth spot it's down to others and not us. Now that is nonsense, if we've won enough points to be there come the end of the season that's where we deserve to be. Of course the form of other teams is relevant, we are in competition with them....... If they play poorly they get fewer points, so we need fewer points to get above them, do we not..... In recent years teams have typically required 72-74 points to get into sixth place, this year it looks like 70 points might do it, possibly even 69 might be enough which would be an all time low.
blueoveru Posted 13 April 2012 Posted 13 April 2012 But why does Wellens have to open his big mouth, when all that matters is how they perform on the pitch.and that is the reason why we are struggling for a play-off place
Corky Posted 13 April 2012 Posted 13 April 2012 None of which makes it close to the best season in Leicester City's history It won't be. It'll be fantastic if we did get promoted, but it's not been glorious at all. Most would say the cup run has been by far the biggest highlight.
Babylon Posted 13 April 2012 Posted 13 April 2012 Of course the form of other teams is relevant, we are in competition with them....... In response to CC star stating our form had helped get us back into it, you said "nope". Suggesting it had nothing to do with our form that we have a chance, and that it was purely to do with the others around us being rubbish. You seem to be suggesting our form isn't relevant, but their form is relevant? We've only picked up less points than Saints and Reading in the last 8 games, so it has everything to do with our form AND the dip of those around us. You're negative outlook seems to be saying if we end up in 6th it's because the others are worse than us, rather than because we are better than them.
Ilkeston_Fox Posted 13 April 2012 Posted 13 April 2012 For Gods sake! Stop talking the talk, just fooking walk the walk. All season long it's been "We can do this, we can do that, it could be this it could be that....." blah blah, do your sodding talking on the pitch!!
Corky Posted 13 April 2012 Posted 13 April 2012 You're negative outlook seems to be saying if we end up in 6th it's because the others are worse than us, rather than because we are better than them. To be honest Babs I feel like that, haven't been impressed with us for most of the season. But you end up where you deserve after 46 games and if that's sixth then great
mustapha_teabreak Posted 13 April 2012 Posted 13 April 2012 Anybody know which season he's talking about?

Agree totally & keeping the faith.............it has been a frustrating season, howeve,r we have a very good chance of gatecrashing the party and us fans of a certain age know what can happen NOW IS NOT THE TIME FOR NEGATIVITY!!!!!!!!!!
Karljohn Posted 13 April 2012 Posted 13 April 2012 Hmmm seems to think 3 wins will be enough, has he forgotten that we need to get 3 points just to get level with 6th place assuming that those above all lose (highliy unlikely), they are up there for a reason Richie! For more Wellens bullshit! look here! http://www.thisisleicestershire.co.uk/City-click-soon-says-Richie-Wellens/story-12050079-detail/story.html

But you end up where you deserve after 46 games and if that's sixth then great I haven't either, we're nothing special. But your second point is what I'm getting at. Anyway... Weekend is here and I'm 30 minutes of piss smelly public transport from home. Happy days!! Come on city!!
Foxhateram Posted 13 April 2012 Posted 13 April 2012 Good to hear some belief coming from the camp. Also like the way that the players have given themselves a good talking to. I think Richie is an influential player and it is a shame he wasn't made captain earlier in the season. I honestly think we are going to go on a run here. Everything just seems in place. I really hope that I don't fall from dizzy hieghts!
Bluetintedspecs Posted 13 April 2012 Posted 13 April 2012 AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH We might, we might not, they may not slip up, the may but FFS lets hope we do, get behind the lads for the remaining games and ENJOY the ride! I believe it will happen
cc_star Posted 13 April 2012 Posted 13 April 2012 Nope....... It is the crap form of the clubs around us that have left us in with a chance, however faint. Our form may have improved this year, but only in relation to our dreadful play in November and December, in recent weeks, even a bare handful of points from the likes of Barnsley, Bristol, Reading and Peterboro' would put us comfortably in the playoffs........ Looking forward to Ritchie's next interview (when we miss out on a playoff spot) very much, you know, the one where he apologises for not starting to try some 40 games ago! Yes, they've slipped up, but I believe only the top two have accrued more points than us in recent games... so our form is nothing to be sneered at, although plenty of people do. Pearson out! Can point to any number of games where we coulda woulda shoulda For a start, Cardiff away 0-0 when they played the whole match with effectively 10 men & never once came out their area, but we just passed the ball little 2 yard passes in front of them, never once with intent They'd have 1 point less, we'd have 2 points more & be in the playoffs Of course a win from any of our number of stupid defeats would have have lead to the same Roll on the summer... (unless of course we do sneak in the playoffs)
filbertfoxy00 Posted 13 April 2012 Posted 13 April 2012 We'll have a better chance if Wellens wasn't in the team!
marbelladave Posted 13 April 2012 Posted 13 April 2012 To be honest Babs I feel like that, haven't been impressed with us for most of the season. But you end up where you deserve after 46 games and if that's sixth then great Absolutely, no arguments there...... The table does not lie but it is also suggests that the points requirement for a playoff place will be lower than usual. This suggests to me that the playoff chasing sides are, perhaps, less strong than in recent years, the very point I have been making.

(unless of course we do sneak in the playoffs) Agreed......more or less. The point is though, that although our form might be considered as decent compared to our playoff competitors, losses at Barnsley, Bristol and Peterboro', among others suggest that it is not all that great.......
