I was told that was why you drink at games. :icon_wink Helps to numb the pain of thinking about it.

You're a Leicester fan, it is the antithesis of being in AA: LCFC drives everyone to drink

Did someone mention drink? - Mine's a large one! (Glad there's no unfortunate inuendo there!)

For me, yesterday's performance was partly summed up by Cate earlier. People can criticise a lack of effort by the players, but I'm not entirely sure it's valid across the board. Cort yes, who expected everything to come to him and not to have to work for anything, but the rest, I'd tend to disagree.
The problem was in the formation. That was so so clear. If you were there, you would have seen polar-opposites in the sides on show. Charlton had width. Not players who get wide, but players who belong and ply their trade out wide. We didn't, and this meant that they could firstly stretch us all over the place, as cate I think said, all to danny mills, who was very effective but largely unchallenged; and secondly, they knew where our attack was coming from - straight down the middle. They knew that if it went to the wings, we were ineffective. SO they crowded the centre, and snuffed out any chance of freedom for out strikers.
People who went to the palace game would have seen the inclusion of Levi as sub making a huge difference. He played well, knows the wing role, and stretches their defence allowing midfield and attack to join.
I place the result firmly at the feet of Megson. N'gotty, Levi, possibly Ferreira or Kaebi would've seen an entire different performance across the team in my opinion.

Formation is something that can be and was immediate tho. I'm still up for giving him a chance. I'm not saying Megson out. I'm just blaming him and not the players for the performance. It wasn't lack of effort as some have said. It was 10 men not knowing the formation they should be adopting, and when they received the ball in midfield, having zero options. It was like hot potato.

To have any kind of chance of play offs this season we need to get in:
1)A left back
2)A left Mid
3)A right Mid
and we need to do it quickly, every game that passes were looking worse and worse. Levi should play LM for the time being while we search for someonw with more quality.
Infact scrap that list we need basically an entire midfield!

After watching the 'highlights' on The Championship this morning I would suggest we need to start with the defence!

Best form of defence is to attack the opposition not sit on your heels waiting for them to come on to you. Think we need afresh approach, something called attacking football.

A poor midfield puts extra pressure on the defence. We know that the defence is nornally sound. Doesn't Megson like wingers, or does he just not rate ours?
