They did more than press ups...I actually thought for a minute that Jobber was going to take Tangoman from behind.:icon_eek:

I don't think anyone has answered any critics today, it was just one win, in the same way as the few losses didn't mean any players were actually shit and should be sold. We swing from one to the other as Leicester fans, and it's getting my goat up.

I'm glad to see somebody actually talking sense. Thoughts of any of our players receiving scores of 8 and 9 for yesterday's performances are clearly nonsense. We finished off very poor opposition and we did it efficiently and convincingly and that's about all there is to say.

I thought where we did show an improvement over our recent efforts was that we had a proper shape and that we maintained it throughout the game. Even though Dyer didn't play well, he gave us plenty of width and with Oakley staying wide on the other side, the middle two had plenty of space to work in and seemed to develop a better understanding between them.

Still worrying a little about the visit to Cardiff though; if there's not a vast further improvement, we're going to have to hope that chopra&co have an off-day. And as for blow-in-the-wind Leicester fans - I've become used to them over the years.

All Leicester players unequivocally answered every question ever raised about them yesterday. They were simply magnificent.

I was just glad to see the players all put a shift in..unlike the last two games!

Have to disagree ted. yes it was a big improvement from tuesday night, but its still wasn't a top performance. I reckon even TBFC could've nicked a win against Wednesday!

I thought Fryatt looked sharp yesterday, was unlucky not get a goal and was our man of the match. Hopefully getting dropped is the kick up the backside he needed. Howard too gave his best performance of the season, but he still has to improve-how many would be singing his praises if he hadn't of scored (a chance he couldn't miss and was all down to Fryatt's good work!)

Don't understand the praise for Morrison, thought he was average. Even though he made a great last gasp intervention he was still getting skinned a few times. However he should still keep his place ahead of Neilson.

I thought the real difference between the tuesday and yesterday was Wellens who controlled the midfield, and also Oakley had his best game in a while. Whether this was because he played well or because they were crap is open to debate.

Overall well done lads for still taking the chances (especially Andy King) and getting the win, but lets not go overboard.

If only Yann had connected with that scissor kick...

Brian Laws has been sacked after yesterday.

 

[beaumontfox]

ok who is being mean and deleting my drooling over players posts?:icon_razz

 

[Motown Fox]

He has been sacked but they still have his "gaffer" section on the Wednesday OS



Which includes these comments

The manager said: "You just don't know which side will turn up and that's the trouble. We're like chalk and cheese.

"We made it easy for Leicester with some poor defending and you can't afford to do that. All we can do is dust ourselves down and prepare for the next game.

"But right now, I'm hurting, the supporters are hurting and I really feel for them. I feel for my staff and everyone at the football club.

"At the start of the season, we were playing some of the best football I have seen as a manager and that is the most frustrating thing."

He knew yesterday from our singing :icon_lol:

I think Laws one of if not the longest serving manager in the Championship after 3 years there. I'd say that he's unlucky to lose his job but Sheff Wed did look genuinly crap rather than just out of form.

The body language when he made those first two substitutes as well was rather fascinating.

I think some call it 'losing the dressing room'.

Sounded pretty clued up, if I remember right.
Obviously takes after his mother

Cheeky buggar.

I dont think so she supports ManU

Johnson's reaction to being subbed said a lot too, he just stared at Laws for about 30 seconds before even moving!

I thought that aw well, but I think it was more that he wasn't sure. As soon as the board was raised he moved straight away.

They were woeful - I said as early as Tuesday night in no way would be lose against them.

At least with playing Howard, when the confidence is down and everyone results to hoofball, you can pretty much be relied on for a few headers to be won. Fryatt played alongside like a striker partner should. That said they won't have an easy day against such a woeful centreback as Darren Purse.

Also appeared Oakley got the message. Wellens was a bit up and down. As said at least Dyer keeps a full-back occupied.

Back four still backed off far too much, thought Hobbs completely lost his man at times but Morrison dug him out the poop with some good headers, still a bit raw ol'Morrison though.

Anyone know how to take a screeshot of my Football Manager game? I've tried doing it like a normal screenshot but can't get it to work. I have something spooky I need to share with you all.....
