Anybody got any videos of the Witton arms beforehand was a cracking atmosphere

[Dan]

No, I don't think they are are they?

Dans posts make me laff a little that's all..it's either brilliant or doomed, in equal measure..no in between. Very much like the forum at times.

 

That's basically utter tripe but oh well.

I've said your one of my favourite posters on here mate, but sometimes you do go from one pole right to the other?

We had a conversation only a few weeks ago where i think you said we were 'clearly better' than the other teams around us. I urged caution, saying it's a long season and that its far too soon to tell anything much. Now you're basically saying its all over? Well its a long season and all can change Dan. Just take it a week at a time.

We also have a mental problem now. Whereas last season we went Into games expecting to win, we now go in expecting not to win and possibly to lose. That's natural as confidence drops out. Nigel has mentioned this psychological issue and it cannot be overlooked. Remember early in the season when we let a goal in. We looked assured that we would get one back and we did. Now when we concede, we look like we expected to and we have lost our positive attitude to get it back. not sure how you change this without results changing. We need a big slice of luck from somewhere and preferably in the 90th minute when it still matters because if we go into the last 10 mins of a game ahead, I dread to think how badly we will panic.

The fact of the matter is Col, we've gone from looking genuinely better than a lot of the sides around us to looking significantly worse. We have failed to beat a single team around us with Hull being the only one we haven't played in that time, and I'm pretty certain we'll lose there too. Our away form is absolutely appalling and a result of tactical naivety and lack of composure.

 

The reason I'm so doom & gloom now is because we're so near yet so far. In terms of points, it's achievable - but absolutely nothing suggests that we will pick those points up. It will hit home the next two (or three, or four, or twenty) games how much of a waste this last 10 games has been. It's as bad a run as I have ever seen at this level. I did not think this group of players were capable of that.

 

We have gone backwards. Just compare us to Burnley and it tells its own story for me.

 

The other teams aren't brilliant, but they are better than us. We are totally incapable of grinding out a result on a regular basis.

Anyone sat in the home seats get a photo of the leicester end ?

This was the worst atmosphere I've ever experienced from a Leicester away game in 20 years following the club. Soul destroying. What has happened to this club?

Agreed, when we went 1-0 up I was trying to crank the noise and atmosphere up but people just looked baffled and stared. Idiots.

Premier league ticket prices i'm afraid.I'd have loved to have gone on sunday,and would have liked to have gone to Liverpool and Manu...But £40 odd quid when i can watch them anyway on a stream?I was there in L1 at Orient,Hereford etc,and have been to most of the away games in the Championship.But when you can watch the game for free'ish in the comfort of your own house with a beer....it's a no brainer.

There were pockets of fans in the concourse and in the upper tier but that was it. Some of the chants were embarrassing too. I just can't bare to watch this team anymore. There's nothing about us. At least when we used to be shit we all got together and still sung and roared in hope of a victory. If that was a cup game two years ago we'd have won. The whole spirit has been lost.
