Guest Col city fan 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 Im not gettin ya at the mo, bro? I think nearly everyone's with you... very positive about how we're playing and our promotion chances. Im reading very little, if any negativity at present?
foxfanazer Posted 1 January 2014 Posted 1 January 2014 The last paragraph of Sky Sports write up of our game: Leicester don't have QPR's miserly defence, Derby's slick midfield or Burnley's free-scoring strikers, but over the busy festive period they have displayed what their promotion rivals have lacked, a clinical ruthlessness that wins games. What does it take for us to get some decent recognition?

Im reading very little, if any negativity at present? There's still plenty of negativity about on here as always- Schlupp for one. Baffling but quite funny. Some people are just never happy!

Guest ttfn Posted 1 January 2014 Posted 1 January 2014 It was "don't" not "do"... If there's one thing we haven't been it's clinical.

Soar Fox Posted 1 January 2014 Posted 1 January 2014 Did anyone see the Millwall fan who was stood on his own in the bottom left stand getting loads? "Billy no mates what a wan**r"

Finnaldo Posted 1 January 2014 Posted 1 January 2014 Just saw the goals. Great finish by Knockaert and a good assist for Schlupp, Taylor-Fletcher's assist was top draw how he controlled the ball and floated it in, and Schlupp's was also a good finish.

What does it take for us to get some decent recognition? Or maybe we're the full package and those teams can only manage single elements of our great team which is also why we're top of the league.
Babylon Posted 1 January 2014 Posted 1 January 2014 If there's one thing we haven't been it's clinical.The last two games aside!Whoever wrote that article is an utter twit.... Beagrie or Goodman then.
_Fatboyslow_ Posted 1 January 2014 Posted 1 January 2014 I admit I was suprised at the amount and type of changes. Even concerned at the defence, but I still hoped it would work for us and it did. It shows how far we have come, what was it 5 changes away from home, a new look back four and we cracked it!!!!!!
cjslcfc Posted 1 January 2014 Posted 1 January 2014 The last two games aside! Whoever wrote that article is an utter twit.... Beagrie or Goodman then. The way it's written sounds very much like Beagrie to me. I noticed how sky have gone all quiet on the blog thing he usually does. Maybe it's because we are doing well?
Leicester_Numan Posted 1 January 2014 Posted 1 January 2014 I admit I was suprised at the amount and type of changes. Even concerned at the defence, but I still hoped it would work for us and it did. It shows how far we have come, what was it 5 changes away from home, a new look back four and we cracked it!!!!!!Freedman played 4 central defenders against us and some were surprised he's still in a job, Pearson does the same and comes away looking like a tactical genius. That's the difference a win makes I guess. You can imagine the stick he'd have got on here if we'd lost though
_Fatboyslow_ Posted 1 January 2014 Posted 1 January 2014 Freedman played 4 central defenders against us and some were surprised he's still in a job, Pearson does the same and comes away looking like a tactical genius.

Carl the Llama Posted 1 January 2014 Posted 1 January 2014 Freedman played 4 central defenders against us and some were surprised he's still in a job, Pearson does the same and comes away looking like a tactical genius. That's the difference a win makes I guess. You can imagine the stick he'd have got on here if we'd lost though Difference is Freedman was playing 4 central defenders against our attack, whereas Pearson played 4 against Millwall's attack. You can't chuck 4 CB's on against a pacey attack like ours, but against Millwall's physical style it worked well and restricted them to mostly long shots.
Captain... Posted 1 January 2014 Posted 1 January 2014 Freedman played 4 central defenders against us and some were surprised he's still in a job, Pearson does the same and comes away looking like a tactical genius. That's the difference a win makes I guess. You can imagine the stick he'd have got on here if we'd lost though Freedman didn't have a choice due to injuries and suspension (surely), anyone who has watched us recently knows that the pace of Dyer and Vardy are key to our attacking threat so putting in a big slow back 4 would be ridiculous if it was a tactical decision. Millwall don't have that much pace in their attack, so big and strong was probably the right call, especially on that pitch.
Johnny Cash Posted 1 January 2014 Posted 1 January 2014 Back from the game. Most definitely a game we would have lost last season, scrappy, wet, windy and devoid of quality. The defence was the right choice, man for man our best four defenders and can all cope well with the long ball. Changes were always likely with it being the Christmas period and in hindsight it was the correct decision. I have never seen a set of fans moan so much at every decision the referee and his assistants made. They weren't the best but jeez, get a grip, every tackle was jeered and as a result any attempt at a tackle was blown for. Great result and our farewell tour to the Championship continues!
Dan Posted 1 January 2014 Posted 1 January 2014 Just got in. A very low quality game but I've been very impressed with certain things today. When I heard the team, I must admit I did wonder if we'd end up fizzling out into rubbish - but I did think at the same time given the weather conditions and the nature of the game Millwall manage to drag us into every time without fail, that he'd picked a combative side that was up for a scrap and to be honest, we completely delivered. It's funny thinking back a month ago when we hit three goals and should've had more. Today I didn't think we played that well, we weren't shit, but we often lacked quality - and have still come out with three goals. We're an adaptable, dangerous side and I firmly believe we can go up this season as champions. There's a long way yet, there will be setbacks, but it's slowly sinking in to me that it may just be our year [/cliche]
