Spoke to a mate with strong links at the club, who claims that a lot of the players at the time of the Birmingham City match were really under the weather; the fact we got anything from the game therefore is a massive plus, massive....Sorry for the performance, but we got a point at one of this leagues' sure favourites for promotion.

We have NO MONEY, if Rob Kelly is therefore looking at getting in more strikers and midfielders to look at options in the two areas where we are not performing well enough then really, what is the problem with that? At least he's addressing a problem we all see from the side-lines, unlike arrogant previous managers who have had tendancies to ignore brute problems on the pitch.

My lowest ebbs this season had been Burnley at home, however they are looking like Brazil follwing that performance at Norwich and perhaps I had (again) under estimated their power in this division under Cotterill. My point being is that perhaps we're being a bit harsh on games like that? Hull was unlucky, Colchester I missed (thank god).

Listen, I am Blue Army through and through and I too am depressed about the fact that we now support a very 'ordinary' Championship football club following the Martin O'Neil years of glory at Filbo' - but this is where we are. I fully believe that a few goals and bits of luck for our strikers and this season will turn around. RK has got a solid back line IMO which with Logan and McAulay (superb I thought) playing so well is now looking even better; if our midfield and strikers could start finding form we have the basis of a good side.

I love this forum and respect (almost) all your views all the time, but please chaps/esses be realistic about our beloved football club. Without Mandaric's magic wand (perhaps) we need to be patient. Ideas of Asaba and Farrelly are to be applauded not knocked at IMO. At the same time, the inclusion of Logan, Porter and Weso make the future look brighter......Wake Stearman up from the dead, get Fryatt's scoring touch and we could be on to a much better season than last - and again finally building to a brighter future again down Filbert Way.

Spot on Alex, I saw you just noticed my post in the other thread basically echoing what you say here. I wish you had posted this earlier to avoid me typing it.

As I said in the other thread: Let RK make his own mistakes, I am grateful and relieved that he is looking at other players. They may not be what everybody wants, but if we want experience and change then he is looking at the right people.

At least give him a chance to screw up before we lay into him.
 
Excellent post mate, problem is alot of people on here arent realistic and expect big things all the time.

This season will again be a plus if we finish in the lower mid table. I just wish some people would see that. Yes we all want more and expect more but at the mo it aint gonna happen!!!!
 
The squad is young and yes they were under the weather but you can't put this brave face on forever. Things arn't too bad yet but we are only a stones throw away from total disastor IMO, and with the lack of goals from the forwards not to mention the non existance of our midfield then should anything futher go wrong then we could find ourselfs royally screwed.

At this time I think we are very finely balanced between midtable and disastor and I'm just waiting to see which way it goes.
 
And Fox Fan I agree and so does Rob Kelly IMO which is why the two players he wants a look at are in those positions. He has no other option does he?

Well bar the odd free here and there what have now is what we have to work with.

We are pretty shite but at the end of the day they wear Blue and White so we have to get behind them.

There is only on LCFC no matter how poor they are after all!!
 
You speak big chunks of sense Alex, but lets not be blinkered, lots of times this season we have not only been out played but also, more worryingly, out thought and that is really down to the manager. My other major problem with him is that he (seemingly) won't take loan signings, which in our current predicament I find absolutely baffling.

Loan signing are just for the short term usually. If a loan player makes a big difference, a few matches down the road he fecks off back to the parent club and we are back to where we were. It is best to try and avoid loans where you can, unless it is a fantastic player and the term can be longer

True, but what the team is screaming out for is an experienced centre forward with the tiniest bit of quality to lead the line. Even if it was for half a dozen matches it could make all the difference to our season.

and who is out there who can fill this vacancy? Carl Asaba IMO would be good, but why have other clubs not come in for him?

Who though Ox? With whom could we afford to loan and supplement wage who would make any difference at this stage? Surely it would be better to try and first find a permanent replacement?
 
Top post Alex, a welcome dose of realism. We've got a young team and all they need is a lucky break and a bit of confidence. The "experienced" players bought in over the last couple of seasons have all been rubbish and what we really need is a steadying influence in the middle of the park. I've never known a team play better because the crowd is on their back. We all knew that mid table would be a good performance this year and hopefully we can build from there. RK seems to be doing a reasonable job with no money and I don't see how changing him could improve things unless a sugar daddy arrives at the same time. In the meantime we need to "take a look at" out of contract players because we've no other choice. This may sound depressing but if you can get a good squad together you don't necessarily need stars, look at Watford and Reading last season, you just need time to build a team. Perhaps it's because I've been blue for over 40 years now and I've seen all this before,the term yo-yo club was invented for Leicester, that I'm still optimistic
