    Cheltenham Away

    Except the paint trophy at Hartlepool. Doh! Not a bad side Hartlepool.

    Cheltenham Away

    Points on the board are always good, a team playing well and a manager who knows his onions at last. Happy days indeed! But: only top on goal difference, with Carlisle and Oldham up there also. It is imperative to be in the automatic promotion spots rather than in the playoffs. I suspect the...

    Leicester 2:0 MK Dons

    Re: Leicester 2 MK Dons 0 He wasn't the only one to hog the ball, both Graedel and Dyer were the same. Hopefully it will come with playing as a team for a bit longer, getting to know the off the ball movement of the other players. I don't think anyone had a truly bad game today, though...

    MK Dons

    I remember Dickovs 2nd penalty, it was more than a bit iffy. The crowd chanted "you do know what you are doing" at the ref... We could do with a bit of that Luck this season. First game is always a marker for the LCFC season, anything less than a win means a stagnating season, or worse...

    Do Stoke hate us that much?

    Or we get a draw, and Norwich win away at Sheffield. Well, maybe going down a division looks more likely.

    well that means that Gary Megson would be free... and wouldn't it be great to have him back here!

    Barnsley

    Coventry run in fairly tough run in too, at home to wolves then Charlton away. Any news from Barnsley? how is the match.

    Where It Has Gone Wrong This Season

    No its the first game jinx. The first game at Leicester City indicates the result of the whole season. Home or away win = possible promotion Eg Watford 2:0 in 2002/3 Draw = a season going nowhere Eg vs West Ham in 2003/4 Home Defeat = Relegation zone misery Eg vs Blackpool in 2007/8...

    Where To From Here?

    Too right Redditch. If IH was sacked who would come worth having. MM does not get on well with managers even when they do as well as harry Redknapp. I heard it was Portsmouth that sacked MM,not vice versa, and I believe it.

    The Hungarian Wingers

    As another Christian I believe that hell and heaven both will contain people surprised to be there , to quote Sartre "hell is other people". Perhaps in hell you would be surrounded by "holier than thous smelling their own farts", whilst in heaven St Peter watches LCFC beat Forest 3:2, from a...

    Hell a lot better than Kavanagh. Not many going out though.... Can't think why.

    We Must Get Fulop Back

    Are other clubs really scouting the relegation zone of the chamionship looking for £3000000 keepers? I think not. We know he is good, but I am not convinced that others will have looked very hard. I suspect that Fulop will be with Sunderland for the rest of the season, and we could buy him at...

    Southampton Post Match Thread

    I cannot rememer a match where having 4 strikers on helped, when the opposition does it, it makes me smile. Smells of desperation. Hume may be popular and always shows commitment, scores more than our others and his setpieces are pretty effective at present, but he is useless on the wing and...

    Hull post match thread

    I know! But it is here that we have been found out in recent matches. I like NGotty, but he is not a right back. Perhaps Kenton or maybury are best bets (!!!!) 3-5-2 worked with him, but not Holloways style. and very wearing on the wingbacks who tend to fade towards the end.

    Hull post match thread

    Like a Yokel giving directions to the town, I wouldn't start from here. But we are starting from here. We are on our sixth Management team of the season. Changing manager again, this side of next summer at least, would mean that no manager worth having would come here. Megson love him or...

    Preston Post Match Thread

    The away form is not bad, its the home form that is the trouble. Hopefully the crowd will stay behind Taggs. It hardly inspires a team (many of whom have no real history with Leicester) if the crowd get on their backs immediately. The players need this monkey off their backs. The Crowd always...

    Support Mark De Vries Club

    To the John Lennon tune: All we are saying is give deVries a chance... Repeated ad nauseum Useful squad player maybe, and I am willing to give him another chance but he better perform, there are plenty to take his place, its a long time since we had half a dozen strikers to choose...

    Paul Ince

    Loved Les Ferdinand, but two inexperienced managers, surely MM is too smart for that. Surely we have seen enough of inexperienced and witless mnanagers sine MON left. NW wants the job and has had a decent response. Coleman will continue the drinking culture that is finishing Stearmans...

    Andy Welsh

    I also though Welsh reasonably good. Having a proper left winger will give us some width and options, not just lumping the ball forward to CoG or Low, hopefully emulating the ball on the floor play that we had at the end of last season. Having worked well at getting the ball to Fryatt last year...

    Christmas sales

    Gareth Mcauley was terrific yesterday, well deserving of a starting place, as are both paddy K and Paddy McC. We also have sound centre backs in Kenton and Nissa, and Stearman and Maybury as well. Most great teams are built from the back, but whilst our back 4 are good, there is nothing built...

    sacking kelly/board is not answer

    Face it guys, whether we like it or not there will be no major changes this side of December, either in management or players. While loans are possible at present this is not applicable to the premiership, only league clubs, and of course any club in our division is not going to loan us a...

    Southend Match Thread

    Great Idea, we already have four centre backs playing so why not another in midfield! I thought Southend were pretty good for this division, though their Goalie and Centre backs were not up to much. I think they will stay up. Interesting also the way they practised quick passing in the warm...

    improve Atmosphere

    Part of the reason for the poor atmosphere is the acoustics at the stadium. These were specifically designed to limit noise because of the residential area. Even within the stand it is very noticeable that the further back the better the noise, the further forward the quieter. This is why the...

    Opening fixtures? just skip the next 45...

    THE Match Started promisingly, the season never got started. To get promoted you need 2 points per match, or "draw away, win at home" That was the formula last promotion. An away win is a great start...likely a promotion season An away score draw an exciting season...possible playoff...

    Last season a promising start then a drubbing to Sheffield United 4/1; crappy season nearly relegated Season before: Dublin sent off, Nil nil draw at home to West ham; crappy season, manager changed but no better Season before: 2 nil up after twenty minutes then chucked away to draw 2 all...

    Elvis

    Re: Elvis and hulme in place of Tommy Wright and DC I am not so gloomy. Tommy was clearly out of favour, out of form and when given a chance in pre season didnt exactly shine. I hope he recovers some form at Blackpool, always good to see a local lad come good. It shows how much turnover...

    CL sees progress

    I bow to your superior numbers! But it seemed obvious to me that MDV doesnt time headers well, but seemed to hold up the ball reasonably well with his feet. Scowcroft of course was the opposite, hopefully the new boys will have gathered this by now! It does seem to be a shame that such a...

    CL sees progress

    MDV scores twice with his feet. Playing it to his feet is better than to his head it seems, no surprises there.
