chili_con_carne Posted 28 July 2012 Share Posted 28 July 2012 Okay I Obvs still love Leicester and what not, but just not feeling the usual excitement and buzz ahead of the new season this summer. Anyone else feel like this! maybe it's just because we're expecting failure again, I'm not sure. Maybe it's Because we know what to expect under Pearson. who knows. but I may be the only one!

Happy Fox Posted 28 July 2012 Share Posted 28 July 2012 What buzz do you want exactly? Winning League games and looking like a team that can challenge for promotion has that desire on the pitch and quality that is all we need really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apollo Posted 28 July 2012 Share Posted 28 July 2012 Feel the same. Just can't get excited about this year. That said, I'll still be there every week! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basingstoke Fox Posted 28 July 2012 Share Posted 28 July 2012 I've been very excited about it all recently! Today was a small reality check, but it's only pre-season. This summer break has been way too long and no matter what sporting events / competitions we have, it just doesn't make up for having no football season and being in the stand getting behind your team! My first game will be Charlton away and I absolutely cannot wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leicesterpool Posted 28 July 2012 Share Posted 28 July 2012 Unlike next season, I haven't got any excitement whatsoever about next season, Pearson style of football just doesn't make you feel excited. He likes to win games scrappy and boring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark_w Posted 28 July 2012 Share Posted 28 July 2012 More excited for this season than most, because while the last few seasons have been a bit unpredictable, I have total faith that Nigel will have us in and around the play-offs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5waller5 Posted 28 July 2012 Share Posted 28 July 2012 I'm with you (OP) ... I just feel I know exactly what to expect this season, and it's not excitement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cc_star Posted 28 July 2012 Share Posted 28 July 2012 . I got a great buzz last two seasons and they were dire, got no buzz for two seasons before that and they were very good What you trying to prove Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burni Posted 28 July 2012 Share Posted 28 July 2012 Some other fans i've spoken to said they would be happy to be chasing the top 6, whilst last season promotion felt a certainty. I think its the feeling of not expecting to win the league. However i think if we do challenge for those top places there will be a great togetherness and even better buzz because we weren't expecting to do so well an almost quiet excitement if you like Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Posted 29 July 2012 Share Posted 29 July 2012 I lost interest at the start of last season, I was hoping it'd come back, but it doesn't seem to be, don't get me wrong i'm still reading and posting on this forum, i'm still keeping up to date with news, e.t.c, so it's not like i've turned me back, gave up and am not bothering anymore, there must be abit of interest, but the excitement and buzz seems long gone. I said it many times last year - It was a chor going to games last season, especially the home games, the amount of away games I went to dropped dramatically aswell. I did go and renew my season ticket this year but that was only through being talking round and being pleaded to 'give it one more season'. I don't know, it's not a nice feeling, I want to be excited and have the buzz and intrest I used to have but I just can't and don't feel any of that, hopefully things will change.

Leicester_Numan Posted 29 July 2012 Share Posted 29 July 2012 This lack of excitement is a good thing, it'll keep expectations to a realistic level and will hopefully stop a lot of the early season booing. We don't have a team of expensively assembled names this time so there's no shock factor of realising we're not going to walk the league. There will be a lot of teams parking the bus here this season as it was so effective against us last time. It's going to be a long gruelling season and hopefully the realisation of this will give us all a bit more patience when trying to break teams down. Be hopeful and positive rather than unrealistic and then totally negative Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roachmachine Posted 29 July 2012 Share Posted 29 July 2012 Like alot of other i'm finding it difficult to get enthusiastic about this season, and as ive said on other threads, i have pretty low expectation levels for this yr. I think top 6 at best to be honest, as there really are alot of good teams in the championship this season, but more likely it will be mid table again, tho i would love to be proved wrong, and am hoping the low key approach will work in our favour by the end of the season, only time will tell, and i do expect a few soar throats along the way, i'm just hoping i don't have to watch too much hoof ball Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay Posted 29 July 2012 Share Posted 29 July 2012 Don't seem to be getting the buzz of excitement this season and struggling to get motivated for it. Lack of positive signings, failure to reinforce positions that we all know are vital, talk of more departures etc etc finding it much harder than normal this time around.

You mean you aren't excited because we haven't thrown around as much money as last year...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flowwolf Posted 29 July 2012 Share Posted 29 July 2012 Looking forward to getting on the optimistic bus again this season. There are plenty of seats not taken at the moment but being an optimist I want the seat nearest to the driver. The pessimist bus is however standing room only at the moment so come on get on the right bus and have a sing song. :thumbup: :trumpet: :scarf: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col city fan Posted 29 July 2012 Share Posted 29 July 2012 You mean you aren't excited because we haven't thrown around as much money as last year...? I don't think Jay has even mentioned money? We have, so far, not reinforced in those positions that some of us think we should, and there is talk of departures? Money wasn't even mentioned..and there have been many decent players available this pre-season on a free? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davieG Posted 29 July 2012 Share Posted 29 July 2012 I've learn't never to get too excited especially after the last 12 years of a combination of boring football, underachievement and what amounts to purgatory in many games with just the occasional glimpse of light. Too many false dawns, There's absolutely no way anyone can foresee with any degree of certainty how this new set up will do, as has become the norm with us with so many changes we've got virtually nothing concrete or proven to build on so I'll wait and see how the season unfolds before I'll even consider getting excited.

savillefoxes Posted 29 July 2012 Share Posted 29 July 2012 Just cant get excited with Mr Pearson in charge. My gut feeling is we will finish in the bottom half of the table. I hope he proves me wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ARM1968 Posted 29 July 2012 Share Posted 29 July 2012 The reality of being a Leicester fan. Expect disappointment and you won't go far wrong : ) We've had very few signings to get the excitement flowing. Pearson football is predictable. Going to be long, grinding season. If we do well it'll surprise most of us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Babylon Posted 29 July 2012 Share Posted 29 July 2012 Just cant get excited with Mr Pearson in charge. My gut feeling is we will finish in the bottom half of the table. I hope he proves me wrong. Even though post Christmas we actually showed play off form, have got rid of a lot of people who weren't in the squad let alone playing, and have added some players that will be? I'm glad the Olympics is here to distract me from this place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
