Justin only just behind Wilf in terms of ineptitude.

And not for the first time either, although no one bar the goalie was anywhere near to acceptable today.

I think Enzo has changed his name, he's now called 'Rodgers'

Genuine question: does anyone know if we have any of the same coaching staff still from Brendan's time?
I don't understand how this team can continue to drop off in the second half of the season like this, even now in a lower division, even with new management and many different playing personnel.
It all feels so much like the second half of the season of the last 3 years under Brendan. The mentality in this squad when things start slipping is just horrendous.
Lack of leadership is a real issue, potentially fitness too - but is there someone consistent on the coaching staff who's overseeing this? Is it just coincidence it's happening the same way again? Or is it just that we lacked bottle before and haven't added any players or a manager that help give us that?

Regarding leadership. Coady and Albrighton should have been playing a long time ago.

The coaching team are all new this year. All long term pals of EM.
Behind them, Matt Reeves is still in charge of Fitness and Conditioning. He leads this mob, most of whom have been here for many years. The fitness levels at the club have not been up to standard since before Covid.

3 masseurs.
Maybe that business plan wouldn’t be a bad thing.

A big part of me has been putting it down to lack of mental toughness and needing more psychological support for this team over the last couple of years.
But I am starting to wonder more and more if it is a fitness issue - we seem to just run out of steam in the second half of every season. Agree, it's since COVID. That huge injury crisis we had then, and we seem to have been working with crocked players ever since.
The fact Ricardo, Ndidi, Vardy, JJ, Nacho, Albrighton were all part of that and mostly are still key players maybe isn't helping.

One of a number of complete ****wittery decisions made today
Not excusing the hapless, hopeless ****s on the pitch for one single minute, but to fail to make the most bleeding obvious changes was ****ing ludicrous

he really struggles with the ball over either of his shoulders, most attacks are directed at him.

Fatawu may as well not have been on the pitch. The general entitlement of the rest of the players stank of shit. Possession based football is loathsome unless there is an end product,and even then it's pretty cack. This is no longer a blip. It's now a deep rut that I don't believe the current squad and coaching staff have the capabilities have the ability to dig us out of, sadly. It's a crying shame but let's face it, even when we were top by a mile we were hardly convincing and maybe there by fluke. This season feels very experimental and it looks like the results are going to come out looking like it was a promising approach alas with zero resilience that made it as fragile as a well fried poppadom.

The fans need to wake the **** up and start demanding some accountability.
We are the most passive fans in the ****ing country.
Rudkin needs hounding the **** out and someone qualified and not sucking KPFC'S dick needs bringing in.
Club is a stale mess full of complacent ****s

Don’t forget all that robust challenging from the Foxes Trust

Maybe the masseurs explain the lethargic performances. Can't imagine running around after being spent.

I know, it comes to something when that’s the conclusion.
