marbelladave Posted 14 August 2012 Posted 14 August 2012 It's nice to see you've retained that optimistic outlook for the start of this season Dave mi ol mate. We will win on Saturday.. 3-1 to the City!!! I dearly hope you are right...... If you recall I got very pissed off last season with inept, formulaic displays against lower placed sides, as quoted, our record against the teams that finished in the bottom 8 was lamentable. I thought this was primarily a tactical issue and I have no idea, as yet, as to whether NFP has addressed this issue, I guess we might find out on saturday.......
Corky Posted 14 August 2012 Posted 14 August 2012 The home game against them we totally dominated the first half, Lewis played a blinder and our finishing was quite poor, so we didn't struggle to get through them.
Larry_LCFC Posted 14 August 2012 Posted 14 August 2012 I really dont understand this "we dont care about them" attitude. At the end of the day, they are another team in the same league trying to achieve the same things as us and ultimately trying to prevent us winning 3 points. Ofcourse I care about playing them. I care about playing every team. Otherwise whats the point.

Didn't win though did we? Lost to them away as well...... I an yet to be convinced that we will handle these kind of games any better, hopefully that will come......

We didn't beat them, but it wasn't through lack of chances.
Bucks17 Posted 14 August 2012 Posted 14 August 2012 I'm not sure where this perception that Posh fans hate Leicester come from? I am a big Posh fan, I'm on the Posh forums and most my mates are centred around Posh etc and I don't think anyone on either side thinks there is a rivalry, like someone stated we have hardly played you over the years and despite geographically being close there is not a lot in common between us. Most of us like a day out at Leicester, close, nice ground and some how we often come away with the odd point. For sure we are a small club punching above our weight but were most definitely enjoying the ride as we've had to put up with some real shite over the years. My brother in law and nephew are season ticket holders With Leicester so often know what's going on. For what it's worth I think you have brought in the right sort of players for this season and think you will be right up there for promotion. Anyways all the best for the season, looking forward to Saturday and I'd love a point if you could be kind enough :-)

I got booed for wearing my LCFC shirt to a newsagent for God's sake. Personally, don't mind Posh but I think it'll be harder for you this time around
Daggers Posted 15 August 2012 Posted 15 August 2012 I live in Northamptonshire but get no hate for being a Leicester fan. Posh though? What a bunch of turds. Shit - that's me banned again for a few inconsequential hours.

Guest Bilo Posted 15 August 2012 Posted 15 August 2012 I want to be banned. I want to be one of the cool kids. Now all I need is something to guarantee this victory.

J.Lisemore Posted 15 August 2012 Posted 15 August 2012 I would like to see Dyer start the game, and Knockaert to be given 30 mins in the 2nd half. Bed him in slowly.
Bucks17 Posted 15 August 2012 Posted 15 August 2012 Personally, don't mind Posh but I think it'll be harder for you this time around Yep for sure. I look at the league and in honesty I can't find 3 teams to finish below us but as long as we stick to our policy of signing young players and trying to develop them, whilst sticking to our very small budget and trying to play the right way then i think we have a lot to be proud of.
ARM1968 Posted 15 August 2012 Posted 15 August 2012 Close game I think. They usually are. Peterborough always give it a go and can play as well as defend. If we've got our shooting boots on I can see a 1-0 or a 2-1!!
CasperBlue Posted 15 August 2012 Posted 15 August 2012 Basically, I'm writing a blog exploring Posh's apparent dislike for us and need some LCFC viewpoints to include too so if any one wants to reply to this thread, I'll use some in my blog Thanks guys Where have you found this "apparent dislike"?.....Substantiate please.

Corky Posted 15 August 2012 Posted 15 August 2012 If you say so. They defended better than Doncaster last season.
Heart-Shaped Fox Posted 15 August 2012 Posted 15 August 2012 They have let in 152 goals out of their last 92 league games. One fo those seasons being in League 1. Hardly great defensively is it?

ARM1968 Posted 15 August 2012 Posted 15 August 2012 Defend well enough against us though and WE are playing them!! So then Peterbrofox, you think we'll spank them off the park? Personally I think it'll be close but that we will squeak a win. If we hammer them, great. Just don't see it.
