foxesfan1989 Posted 16 February 2013 Share Posted 16 February 2013 How could a 6 point gap with 2 games in hand be "all over"?? All to play for...but a Charlton win or point would be big for us today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Libertine Dream Posted 16 February 2013 Share Posted 16 February 2013 Instead what will happen is Chrissy P will get the win for us today and let us win on Tuesday whilst Bristol City will continue to do us favours and beat Cardiff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col city fan Posted 16 February 2013 Share Posted 16 February 2013 Hull will win and so will we. So nowt will change. I have no doubts we'll beat Charlton. The points dropped at Peterborough was the problem. Away results, on and off have been the problem all season and it's HERE that my concern with Pearson remains. He still doesn't seem to be able to consistently pick up points away. Blackburn is the biggie... That will be a challenge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cjslcfc Posted 16 February 2013 Share Posted 16 February 2013 If Hull win later today and open up a 6pt gap, do you think it will be all over for auto's? If you think it would be over with a 6 point gap I assume you are already on holiday celebrating the redbirds' promotion? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corky Posted 16 February 2013 Share Posted 16 February 2013 Yes, obviously. We gave up when they were 7 points ahead of us with no games in hand at Christmas, so I will again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Munshi Posted 16 February 2013 Share Posted 16 February 2013 Cmon brizzle Here we go with the ifs, buts and maybe's. I'm reminded of the 10 easy games we were going to win and how some said the same thing in Sven's day and we went downhill so fast I could hardly keep up. What really matters is how we play. And just lately we've gone two "easy" games out of the "ten" mentioned and lost. Worse still we deserved to lose and have slipped from exciting to abysmal faster than the effects of an enema. We need our team and our attitude back. Our resolve to pressure the opposition from start to finish and score as many goals as we can - never mind the league table, never mind the opposition and never mind what might happen if this or that. All sorts of adjectives could be applied to our club over the Pearson years. But ruthless is not one of them, in fact "ruthless" has been a largely absent characteristic since I began following the club. Even when winning promotion from Division One under Pearson we were indecisive, over-cautious and begging points some of the time. Yes, I appreciate you have to win ugly sometimes but in doing that and winning in style you can be equally ruthless. How can a club be ruthless if, so far through the season, we have no substitute striker worthy of the name? Yes, mistakes can be made but the shortcoming has been apparent for ages and we've not responded either by getting someone worthwhile or by even getting something out of the options we've got. We're the same at left-back. There's just no sensible alternative since Schlupp's been sitting on his arse and was latterly seconded to Manchester. Schlupp should have been an integral part of this season and Konch should have well known that only his very best would keep him in the team. Tactically and psychologically we're way short. Just when we need to be relentless we release our grip on the opposition. When opponents stir themselves and we need to pass the ball quickly and accurately we have Knockaert trying to do everything on his own with no pattern, no obvious purpose and no chance of his team-mates knowing where to go or what to do. i love aspects of Knockaert's football just like everyone else but how he needs the ruthlessness of someone like Sir Alex Ferguson to make him effective both in terms of his personal outcome and in complementing the rest of the team. Cos right now Knockaert is little more than so much promise. A man with talented feet, a decent engine and no signs of a ruthless footballing brain whatsoever. My point could be emphasised further but the bottom line is that ruthlessness will decide our fate and whether we get the automatic promotion place we should be striving for without any reservations. And if there's no-one in our management team who understands the psychology of installing ruthlessness into people and teams they should get someone in to help them who does. Because it's the little things that count when it comes to crossing the line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Doctor Posted 16 February 2013 Share Posted 16 February 2013 Aah, it's just Thracian - he's a miserable ****er who thinks unless we field 11 youth teamers and win 8-0 then we don't deserve to have any points on the board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leicester_Numan Posted 16 February 2013 Share Posted 16 February 2013 If Hull win later today and open up a 6pt gap, do you think it will be all over for auto's? No, we'll have 2 games in hand which we would have had to win to stay in front of them so the situation hasn't changed one bit. On the other hand, if they lose it's a only 3 point gap with 2 games in hand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark_w Posted 16 February 2013 Share Posted 16 February 2013 Nothing but ourselves to blame, you can't persist with Vardy and Waghorn and get away with it. To blame for what? Being in a position where if we win all of our games we'll gain promotion, well clear of 7th place (something we couldn't have dreamed for the last couple of years), despite Waghorn and Vardy being our second and third choice strikers for half a season? Yeah, it's tough to be a Leicester fan right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col city fan Posted 16 February 2013 Share Posted 16 February 2013 As I said earlier, the loss at Peterborough could prove to be pivotal. In fact, our away form this season could be our undoing. However, if the scores remain the same, a win on Tuesday is imperative. But I think we will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andog Posted 16 February 2013 Share Posted 16 February 2013 We've got 15 points out of a possible 18 from our last 6 games. Stop whinging, we're still in a lot better position then what we have been in previous seasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
