....was to fall by the wayside after the Cardiff game what would be the defining moment for you in his downfall?.

Imo the Millwall game on boxing day when we failed to beat a bottom 3 team at home for the 2nd game running.

Stoke Away, IMO confidence was fairly high leading up to that game, we had beaten Sheff Utd and performed very well against Bolton and Leeds away, at 2-1 up we looked to be cruising, but those 2 goals seemed to kill all the confidence and apart from Spurs, we have been on a slippery slope ever since.

I dont think he will leave, I think the board believe in him, his long term plans and he is here for the duration. and can I add that I also believe that though i dont like what is happening at the moment, If the fans and board stick by him we WILL have the youngest team ever to have gained promotion into the premeur and subsiquently the youngfest team to play in the premiur.
He just needs to have the balls to get rid of Dion, MDV and a few other has been that think they are better than city.

Some part of me tells me we should stick with him, but how long does the guy need!!!! I didn't have any expectations this season other than that the team should improve in the latter part of the season in order for us to have a genuine go at 06/07 campaign. Sadly results wise its not happening
 
In a way rather than the turning point being a game i tempted to say it was the sale of DC. As we know golas have been sorely lacking from our game and i believe that DC would have provided us with that. The deal was good money for the club, but it could end up costing us a whole lot more IMO.

I now someone will point out DC's record before we sold him but I firmly believe that with the chances we ahve created this term he would have converted a higher percentage than the strikers we have on their current form.

Tend to agree, it felt like we sold our ambition for the season
 
Must admit that I still haven't totally gone, but this weeks mockery article in which Craig put added pressure on the players and attempted deflect blame from himself was something that a really good manager would never do no matter their position.

Second would come the performance against Spurs, proof that Craig can't inspire this set of players in run-of-the-mill matches. I don't know why but I feel that CL will again prove himself at the right club if we sack him.

I'd agree with that. Had we hung I I honestly think we'd be much higher up the table. By three points at least ;)
 
For me the two home games aginst Crewe and Millwall, two teams we should have beat easily yet scrapped draws, and only started playing after sendings off
 
I feel much like everyone else, I wish there was someone who could come on wave the magic wand and put it all right, but at this stage of the season. I dont think anyone has a better chance of saving us from relegation than CL.
I also think that he is doing the right thing for the future, and he needs those last few bits of the jigsaw to produce some successes,

I still have hope, stupid? I know.

Most of the latter part of the season is still left. I hope/think LCFC will take a turn for the better. The sooner we can grab a couple of back to back wins the better. Its very tight down there.

C'MON LEICESTER!

I hope we can pull it back with a dew back to back wins but i can't see where they will come from going by first half of the season, i expected a minimum 6 points over christmas (including the one before christmas - Crewe) 2 wins out of 5 wasn't too much to hope for with millwall and crewe was it?
 
games that annoyed me the most were also the crewe and milwall ones, but i feel that stoke away was the biggest let down, showed us that there wasnt enough will power:icon_sad:
but everytime we win just won match his stay becomes longer because the board think well there are signs that it can be done! (but if it can be done once why cant it be done regulary?)
i do however feel that the fact that we are building a better squad (well younger anyway) makes me feel maybe i should give him longer! i shant chant for him out but i shant be chearing for him either, not gettin it untill we start winning some games! but the team will however be getting cheered as usual!!
