filbertfoxy00 Posted 30 January 2013 Posted 30 January 2013 I am backing it to start happening tomorrow. We've rarely done well against them in recent years, they need a result and its Sod's law the promotion push will go belly up at some point anyway...it usually does.
Guest MattP Posted 30 January 2013 Posted 30 January 2013 We have a manager now who has a record managing this football club of...... P 174 W 87 D 45 L 42 (and a big percentage of that time was whilst sorting out somone else's mess) Why after such excellence over that period of time would the wheels start falling off now? This isn't Sven or Craig Levein in charge.

Guest Posted 30 January 2013 Posted 30 January 2013 Jesus H Christ Mr Cup Half Full! Save some positivity for the rest of us eh?
L1wood Posted 30 January 2013 Posted 30 January 2013 Lets face facts we will lose games between now & May. But as long as we as fans don't get on the players backs & we don't go on a run of losses we will be fine. It won't be the end of the world if we loose tomorrow.
Ric Flair Posted 30 January 2013 Posted 30 January 2013 Come on, it's fair enough there are still some fans who can't shake off the thought that we'll still balls it up. What have we got to show in 9 years at this level and lower? One 5th place finish, several relegation battles, a relegation and a few mid-place finishes. We look a different outfit this season and a proper team but it's still a horrible league and anything can happen. I have faith in the manager and 14-15 of our players so fingers crossed it's enough but I can share some fans caution and worry with us.

We've rarely done well against them in recent years, they need a result and its Sod's law the promotion push will go belly up at some point anyway...it usually does. We've lost twice to Wolves in our last 9 meetings, including this season 2007/08: Two draws 2006/07: One win, one defeat 2005/06: One win, one draw 2004/05: Two draws
Carl the Llama Posted 30 January 2013 Posted 30 January 2013 We're in with our best chance of promotion since we left the prem. That doesn't mean everyone has to get all billy big bollocks (like the Watford fans predicting a 1st place finish on the back of some decent form, before losing to the bottom team). OP has a point, the race for 2nd is tighter than I remember it being in recent years (though maybe someone has the stats to prove that statement wrong) meaning it's far from a forgone conclusion that we'll be the team of the 4 or so likely challengers to come out on top.

Lionator Posted 30 January 2013 Posted 30 January 2013 Interesting that out of all of the Championship managers, only Poyet and Powell have better win % than Pearson. Both have only managed at 1 club in that time. Nigel Pearson is the real deal and anyone who doubts him can **** off.
Trav Le Bleu Posted 30 January 2013 Posted 30 January 2013 You see this is the problem. Some people think we play on wheels. Do they not understand football?
Yorkshire Fox 14 Posted 30 January 2013 Posted 30 January 2013 always wondered who it is that keeps ringing RL - now we know
filbertfoxy00 Posted 30 January 2013 Author Posted 30 January 2013 Still pretty certain it will all go wrong but not too bothered if we miss out, I quite like the 2nd division and 19k attendances so that there is no need to queue for a pi55 at half time.
Finnegan Posted 30 January 2013 Posted 30 January 2013 Surely any fan over the age of 25 is just waiting for us to **** it all up? Part of being a Leicester fan. First thing my old man ever taught me.
Guest Col city fan Posted 30 January 2013 Posted 30 January 2013 I genuinely don't think the wheels will fall off. Pound for pound I reckon we now have the second best squad in the division. IF we need another player, it's midfield cover. IMO.
