ReyAzarola Posted 23 February 2013 Share Posted 23 February 2013 First Topic I have created on here so go easy. Our form has been a bit up and down to say the least this season. I follow every single result and glean what I can from opinions and forums etc but seeing as I don't get to many games because of work commitments and my location it's hard to say with confidence what has happened to the team over the last 3 league games. Coming off the back of 5 league wins we have slipped to 2 defeats and a draw. If we had been dominant or creating a lot of chances then I would not be so concerned but we don't seem to be doing that to the same extent as before. So just wondering what opinions we have on here regards our situation right now? ...expecting anything from the descriptive and considered to players nutting Pearson and facing the backlash.

kristianity77 Posted 23 February 2013 Share Posted 23 February 2013 I think it has in some part to do with the fact the Nige tinkered with a winning side for the cup games. Even though we werent playing great before the Hudds game, we had a knack of winning and keeping it tight. We know as well as anyone that Leicester are a confidence team. Get one win and we start to fly for 5 or 6 games until we lose, then the confidence drains and we go on a rut for a while. Alright our hand was forced a bit with the Wood situation but he tinkered too much over a few games, and because of it, we've lost our way. Never change a winning team unless enforced.

Legend_in_blue Posted 23 February 2013 Share Posted 23 February 2013 Pearson has been found out. Tactically he is struggling to counter the mounting pressure that he puts himself under thanks to the rigid setup of his team. He desperately needs to mix it up a bit and take some risks. I fear for us in a playoff situation though. Tactically, I think we'll lose it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReyAzarola Posted 23 February 2013 Author Share Posted 23 February 2013 Well today we drew away from home. Nothing wrong with that. It's a decent result but from what I can tell we seem to have lost a bit of dominance over the possesion and shots side of the last few games. Not something we have been able to say with consistency this season. I'm not panicking just yet but has the team looked totally different recently? Tiredness, shape, morale...?

This is what I have read into it even though I didn't like the thought of a big build up of cup games. Pearson has been found out. Tactically he is struggling to counter the mounting pressure that he puts himself under thanks to the rigid setup of his team. He desperately needs to mix it up a bit and take some risks. I fear for us in a playoff situation though. Tactically, I think we'll lose it. Looks like he played a 4-3-3 today? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whoareyaaa Posted 23 February 2013 Share Posted 23 February 2013 Nothings gone wrong, this has already happened 2 or 3 times throughout the season already... they call it a blip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bausor Posted 23 February 2013 Share Posted 23 February 2013 Not closing down from the front as quickly imo and playing the long ball up to wood to much where as before we played more passing and moving stuff on the floor, Knockeart out of form is another reason just my opinions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might be wrong but I thought we were still applying a lot of pressure and reigning shots in during the previous "blips"? So is this any different?

dpjfox Posted 23 February 2013 Share Posted 23 February 2013 Nugent Marshall and Knocky off form but they can improve back to the high standard they set Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
georgec Posted 23 February 2013 Share Posted 23 February 2013 Simply naive to blame this supposed "bad form" on Pearson. With the competitiveness of The Championship and regularity of fixtures, any club can easily go three games without a win, even longer in fact. It just so happens we have done so towards the business end of the campaign, but a good result on Tuesday and all will be forgotten. It is key to remain positive for the remainder of the season and get behind the team. If we fall short come May that will be the time to look at our short comings.

Bausor Posted 23 February 2013 Share Posted 23 February 2013 Dyer needs to start on Tuesday as the link up play down the left is usually better between him and konch and sets up more fast paced attacks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReyAzarola Posted 23 February 2013 Author Share Posted 23 February 2013 Nugent Marshall and Knocky off form but they can improve back to the high standard they set Does the strikethrough mean they are not off form? I'm not really sure. Simply naive to blame this supposed "bad form" on Pearson.

I'm talking just as much performances as result really. I'm aware it can happen. Looking for a brief analysis. I'll be positive and behind the team for each game. In between that it's normal and does no harm critique the performance to see where we can improve. I'm sure that's what the management do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walker Posted 23 February 2013 Share Posted 23 February 2013 Surely we can't blame Pearson for the result? How can he legislate for our in form striker having a shocker today? Just one of those days, a thrashing is definitely on the cards soon I reckon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So lets hope that is the case now too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col city fan Posted 23 February 2013 Share Posted 23 February 2013 Nothing has gone wrong. We are where we deserve to be in the league. Top two will be Cardiff and Watford I think. I just hope that my start of season prediction of 7th will prove to be pessimistic. I'm afraid I think Forest are the side to watch for the 6th spot.

Royston. Posted 23 February 2013 Share Posted 23 February 2013 The wheels have come off but apparently, every team around us will experience the same thing so theres no need to worry and you dont know your football and arent a proper Leicester fan if you think otherwise.

And I also said the other day that Nottingham Forest will be the side to watch for 6th place. Nothing has 'gone wrong'. We've just been in a sticky patch, like most/all clubs go through. We had it earlier in the season prior to the Burnley (home) game. I still believe we will finish 4th/5th, and today we picked up a good draw, although we probably should have won.

Kitchandro Posted 23 February 2013 Share Posted 23 February 2013 Well it might have helped if we hadn't have disrupted the team on the back of 5 wins. I don't think we've got the most consistent set of players. I'd suspect we're lacking in confidence at the moment, something we must have been full of to go on that good run. I can't comment on how we've played in a lot of games but it's seemed to me that this season we have had to get off to a good start or we've not won. I'm surprised people are so defeatist about our capabilities to finish in the top 2 - we've worked our way there on a couple of occassions with great runs so surely we're capable of doing it again. It seems mental more than anything, as soon as we get there we start to fvck things up. Maybe we just need to time it right. People can bum Watford all they like but it's the first time they've been in the top 2 al season. We'll see how they react to the pressure. I don't know what you can read into today's match, I didn't see it. But if you miss a penalty and a sitter whilst keeping sold at the back I'd suggest you can't draw too many conclusions. We need a result soon, when this team have been in full flow it's looked great, but it's capable of looking very pedestrian and lacklustre as well. At this point I still find it unthinkable that we'll drop out of the top 6. I'm not worried about the teams below us at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
