Basingstoke Fox Posted 15 April 2012 Posted 15 April 2012 Another away day, another below par performance, another dull atmosphere (though to be fair much better than Bristol City and Reading away), another defeat and once again, coming away from the ground feeling extremely let down. Especially as Millwall didn't look up to much themselves! Since the first couple minutes of the second half today, I thought we never looked like scoring (I'm surprised we did in the end). We just seemed so flat. Oh well, we move on. 25 out of 40 games I've attended ending in defeat. Hoping to attend a few more wins next year. Or at least some much more interesting games than today!
Dan Posted 15 April 2012 Posted 15 April 2012 Whilst our home support's took a turn for the better, our away support has gone as much downhill IMO. I can't remember the last genuinely great away atmosphere with us, then again I didn't go Norwich like a bellend. Derby was good in fairness but honestly, we're just tosh on the road these days, today was awful, Peterborough, for our last time on a terrace (for a long time) was awful, Bristol was poor by it's standards, didn't go Reading/Ipswich, even Brighton was shit. Flattered to deceive on the road noisewise this year in most cases but, the players have given us so little to sing about and there's just no real pride support us at the minute, it's embarrassing.
boring_jester Posted 15 April 2012 Posted 15 April 2012 Leicester never has and never will be a club which benefits from multi million pound signings. The most successful players in our history have resulted from reputations being built as this club, the likes of Izzet and young Heskey built their names on theie performances at this club, and these are the players which we again need for success. I do not care what players such as Mills or Beckford have done at past clubs, if they cannot do it here then I do not want them here. Yes, Beckford has had 14 goals this season, but with what difficulty? All mostly 2 yard tap-ins which the somewhat hated Fryatt put away for fun in his 30 goal season in league one. We have always benefited from a 'small club, small expectation' mentality, our infrastructure of fans, players, owners and possibly even club staff, appear to believe that we are better than we are. When we reached the play offs a couple of seasons ago, we all knew we did not have a side of amazingly talented footballers, but we had a side which left all on the pitch everyweek. I was far prouder watching the likes of Hobbs and Brown defend like their lifes depended on it, and looking back now are we better off with what we currently have? Yes, we need quality in our side, fielding 11 robbie savages would not get us promoted from this division, but hard work is clearly taken for granted by a lot of posters on here, and a lot of our players. The championship is a league where sides which are hard working benefit, in what is a incredibly scrappy league, teams can show their quality when they are in the premier league but it takes a lot of hard work to get there. So this summer, if NP (I hope) is still in charge, lets not complain about the potential signings of Jamie Vardy and other lower league players. Lets face it have Mills, Beckford and Michael Johnson lived up to their expectation?? All I want next year is a side of reasonable quality, but more importantly a team which show the desire and passion which every fan requires. I want to see players lifting the crowd, (Steve howard kicking the ad boards within 30 seconds of coming on against derby), i want to see success obviously, but what we all want to know is that we are heading in the right direction. Pearsons job at hull required him to remove a lot of higher profile players (not necessarily egos) such as bullard etc. Then replace them with players of quality who also wanted to play for their shirt. Nigel has done it before, and clearly wants to be here (not all about the money), and lets be honest never wanted to leave. I do not want a summer of high profile names being linked/signed with the club, I want a season of small profile and relativeley unknown players making a big name for themselves, then we will know that we have had success. All I want is our football club back, one which is built on reward by hardwork. Howards Passion. was amazing against derby with his messi skills walking around defenders. shivvers down my spine
The Year Of The Fox Posted 15 April 2012 Posted 15 April 2012 Not read the posts in this thread but I really hope there are no comments about our 'amazing' away support. That was the most embarassing excuse for football supporters for a game as big as it was. The left side of our ground was ok, but pretty much non existent anywhere else. I genuinely think our crap support played a major part in us losing yesterday. It was that bad.

I genuinely think our crap support played a major part in us losing yesterday. It was that bad. The bloke that absoulutely lost it at the old grannies sitting in the first few rows was an an utter cvnt. Essentially he started screaming at the saying they were a "fvcking disgrace" and not "real fans" for not standing up. Ironic that he left at least minutes before the 5 minutes of extra time were signalled...
Danny the Fox 95 Posted 15 April 2012 Posted 15 April 2012 Support was woeful yesterday. Wanted to go back home after the first Millwall goal.
Guest ttfn Posted 15 April 2012 Posted 15 April 2012 Rob Kelly is the only manager who's got a win there in this league. The present manager is making him look like Pep Guardiola. Except, of course, when Pearson himself did it in 2009.
Mark_w Posted 15 April 2012 Posted 15 April 2012 Except, of course, when Pearson himself did it in 2009. He put 'this league' to avoid that reasonable and sensible argument. Apparently playing them at the same level as yourself is different to playing them in the mighty Championship, because even though we were in the same division as them, as we are now, nothing that happened in League One counts

Misread that. Also, I have never understood the relevance of past results against teams. Surely what matters is how good the teams are at the time of the game, not what happened 18 months previously with a completely different set of players and manager.
Guy Posted 15 April 2012 Posted 15 April 2012 Well it is just a job, very few footballers see it otherwise anymore, they're just currently sh*t at said job. Although I don't live in the area anymore, someone I know in Northants knows Steve Howard (he lives on the outskirts of Northampton) and he said to them that to him playing football is now "just a job"! This coming from someone who comes across as one of the more passionate players, even though he's now beyond playing at this level really.
Leicesterpool Posted 15 April 2012 Posted 15 April 2012 Just looked at the pictures from yesterday's game not one single picture of us poor buggers who made the long trip there!
