billyn88 Posted 1 January 2014 Posted 1 January 2014 If at first you don't succeed, try and try again, fourth time lucky at the den for me! Such an encouraging result, a bogey ground for us in recent years so this win with a weaker side is huge. The pond life in the stand to our left were hilarious. It just seems like everyone in that ground in the home end is very angry 99% of the time.
Guest Col city fan Posted 1 January 2014 Posted 1 January 2014 I'm sensing a sea change with people daring to believe :xmastongue: Quality result and professional performance today. COYB Happy Clapper is back!!!
Bluetintedspecs Posted 1 January 2014 Posted 1 January 2014 Happy Clapper is back!!! Ha ha indeed buddy, will always be positive but long in the tooth enough to know what can happen! Think this is our year though Col,we seem to have that togetherness as a squad, some experience, steel and a Manager who has made some great tactical decisions to turn games round. Who'd have thought it eh?

Who'd have thought it eh? Im with ya there my friend. I think I posted after beating Reading... this team has that air of confidence about it that believes it can go into football matches and win them. But after last season I daren't believe, just yet.
pazzerfox Posted 1 January 2014 Posted 1 January 2014 It's games like this that we were losing last season. Big Nige seemed to have got the team selection spot on today with going with the power of Was in defence and Hammond for that extra strength in midfield...Sounded like we mixed it physically which was maybe part of our downfall last season!
deep blue Posted 1 January 2014 Posted 1 January 2014 Never change a winning team Really interested in how the midfield got on, have King and Hammond given NP selection problems, or is it going to be back to DD and James for Derby? I expect Vardy to come straight back in, interesting how Nugent was reported to have had a very good game whilst partnered with GTF, whereas he hasn't looked as good with Vardy. Could it to be that Nuge was played up as the main striker? There have been rumblings that he's been less than happy being played just behind Vardy.
Julian Joachim Jr Shabadoo Posted 1 January 2014 Posted 1 January 2014 What a great time to be a fox! Happy New Year
DANGEROUS TIGER Posted 1 January 2014 Posted 1 January 2014 BBC on the boil as usual. David Nugent inspired Leicester to victory over managerless Millwall as the Tigers maintained their four-point lead at the top of the Championship. Come on you Tigers, Oh, and City of course! Good solid result today.
Vlad the Fox Posted 1 January 2014 Posted 1 January 2014 Could explain a few decisions going our way, taken from the bbc... Millwall 1-3 Leicester: Angry fan rips linesman's flag apart An angry Millwall supporter ripped an assistant referee's flag from its pole following a goal-kick decision in the 3-1 home defeat by Leicester. Angry with Alan Young's decision not to award a corner at The Den, the fan grabbed the flag, leaving it on the ground and Young needing a replacement. BBC Final Score reporter Andrew James said it looked like "a broken umbrella". The fan was led away by stewards following the incident. Millwall have yet to reveal whether they will take any action against the supporter. Leicester won the game against the managerless Lions to remain top of the Championship table. Steve Lomas was sacked following Millwall's Boxing Day defeat by Watford. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/25572011
Dickov22 Posted 1 January 2014 Posted 1 January 2014 Once again credit to Peason - I didn't go to the game today and had a chuckle to myself when I read my Twitter feed prior to the game: 'What is Pearson doing making so many changes' 'Why isn't Waghorn plaing instead of GTF - ridiculous!' etc etc It's a fantastic result; to go away from home making that many changes and win is just superb. Pleased Drinkwater in particular has had a rest - he looked exhausted second half against Bolton. Nigel Pearson is a brilliant Manager.

Fez of Mahrez Posted 1 January 2014 Posted 1 January 2014 Enjoyed that from start to finish. Loved some of the fierce tackling in midfield. Everyone worked hard and Knocky was several classes above any of their players. So many supposedly inarguable truths laid to waste today. We played four across midfield including Dyer, King and Knockaert at Millwall and deserved our two-goal win. Have that.
Bob Weasel Fox Posted 1 January 2014 Posted 1 January 2014 I think a lot of us were slightly cautious re Big Nige especially after the "collapse" last season. Fingers crossed we stay on top until the end of the season. A long way to go yet though
MC Prussian Posted 1 January 2014 Posted 1 January 2014 Knockaert=workhorse of the day. Well-taken goal by Schlupp and what an assist by Taylor-Fletcher to find Nugent in the middle.
Dickov22 Posted 1 January 2014 Posted 1 January 2014 at least you can have a chuckle at yourself That's gone right over my head
Stadt Posted 1 January 2014 Posted 1 January 2014 Nigel needs to sort his eyebrows out, Knocly and Schlupp took their goals well.
foxfanazer Posted 1 January 2014 Posted 1 January 2014 That's gone right over my headSorry wasn't meant as a joke. What I mean is a lot of people can't admit when they were wrong
Larry_LCFC Posted 1 January 2014 Posted 1 January 2014 Nigel needs to sort his eyebrows out, Knocly and Schlupp took their goals well. If all we have to worry about is Nigel's eyebrows, I think we can all safely say its a very happy new year NP would terrify me in an interview!
Dickov22 Posted 1 January 2014 Posted 1 January 2014 Sorry wasn't meant as a joke. What I mean is a lot of people can't admit when they were wrong Ah no. My twitter feed was full of the usually negative moaners suggesting we wouldn't win and shouldn't have made any changes. Not me! I trust in big Nige
