Should he stay or should he go

[Hazzman]

I support my team but Im not pleased with the current amount of money you have to pay to see them play. Espically when the enterainment level is dour. The time I re-join my season ticket is the time I see players putting effort into the club, the last time that happened was Adams promotion season, he got rid of Taggart and left Elliott on the scrapheap.

 

[Bangkok Blue]

Stay at least til the end of the season... God knows we due a change of luck! Now Hammond is off the mark I'd pair him upfront with Hume Tues' night MDV is shaping up but maybe he isn't what we're looking for as a starting striker... Hammond and Hume will run themselves ragged all game pulling people out of position... As everyone's said pace upfront is the key in this league.

Would also play Williams and Hughes in the same side as these seem by far our most creative midfielders!

Team for Tuesday...

Douglas

Stearman
Dublin
Johnnsonn
Tiatto

Sylla
Williams
Gudjohnson
Hughes

Hume
Hammond

Definitely stay. Can't believe all this rubbish people are talking about. For god sake get behind the team and manager. OK so its not been a great start but the team is completely different from last season. They still need time. And i know levein has been here nearly a year, but last season was a right off, so for me judge him on this season. Yes i wish and think we should be higher up the league but replacing CL would be madness. People saying his signings have been bad are on another planet and this constant picking on players like DeVries and Momo is just stupid. Do you people want leicester to do well or not? I think Momo has looked pretty good and Ok De vries does have his moments but he's still scored 5 goals this season!
I'm not worried yet so lets think positive and cheer them on to 3 points against Brighton.

If we sacked him who would we get in? which players could we buy in? what we have now is it .....the reality ......its not good and its not clever but this is it and the only difference between now and MA is this time i can see a ray of hope yes its only a small one but its hope something we had nothing of under MA

Where you seeing the hope Lazz? and what exact hope is it?

 

[lazzer]

i think we have the ability to paly more than under adams i dunno perhaps there is no hope perhaps there is no reason to go on maybe i should burn my season ticket and become an egg chaser or maybe i should stick by my club for better for worse

I agree with you. As I will, stick by them, of course but to me our situation is pretty hopeless this season. Avoiding relegation will be seen as a success to me.

 

[lazzer]

i too would see avoiding relegation as a success as would a mid table finish as i would see a play off place as an over achievement we have no divine right to go up

 

[fosseman]

If he's unsettled in his personal life and the team's doing badly, he'll be gone by Christmas. He's not the sort to stay around indefinitely.
By the way, why does no-one mention the coaching squad? They've had little impact so far.

There was a time when the fans would support the team through thick and thin. All this CL out stuff just does not make sense. I aint says CL has got all the answers and he certainly has not sorted out his best team yet. But he is working on it, and we have not desereved the poor results we have had

I think that CL is doing the right things to try and sort out the team

Bringing through youngsters,
Trying out different combinations of players and positions
Working with a very small budget.

Under some very difficult circumstances, he is doing a good job and must be given the time to sort out the best team and then they have to gel.

I cant see where we can get another manager that is as good as CL,
Getting rid of CL will cost us money, getting a new manager will cost us money and the new manager will just have to go through the same process as CL, but he will have to start again to go througth the learning curve which will put us back months cost us points and I for am convinced that if we get another new manager we will be relegated.

Not sure that's quite true, during the back end of the season before MON left I heard numerous people questioning if he'd run out of ideas and it could be time to freshen things up with a new manager. Well they got their wish and look at us now.

 

[beaumontfox]

so he led us to another trophy and Europe and some fans were STILL not happy??

jeezus..........

I agree with almost all that - but having supported the club for longer than I care to admit, I can't remember any time when the fans would support the team through thick and thin. I suppose the nearest we got to that was in the Jock Wallace era - when the fact that Jock was prepared to play a team of mainly youngsters attracted support and this was combined with Jock's own charismatic personality.

And he got them running up the sand hills

 

[Granite Fox]

I think we need to keep things in perspective.

We lost at Sheff utd thanks to poor 'keeping and a terrible refereeing decision - I thought we looked like wining this one until they got that second dodgy penalty.

We beat Stoke easily, although were guilty of some dodgy defending

We drew with Ipswich after pounding them - their 'keepers having great games

Started poorly at Crewe but came back to draw and could have won

Played poorly against high flying Luton, but only the bar stopped us from gaining a deserved equaliser, before they broke upfield and got a second

Drew away at Hull (finished strongly and could have won) after a very poor start

Played quite well in beating a poor Sheff Weds

Played poorly in losing at cardiff - but probably still worth a point

A good defensive performance to draw at Wolves

Lost to QPR - poor start again but much the stronger team in the 2nd half (even with ten men) and most fans I spoke with thought we would go on to win. I went to the QPR game last season when we started well but were lucky to hang on for a 1-0 win.

We have also had two fairly professional cup performances against lower league opposition.

There are things that need to improve and we all know what they are (poor starts, poor defending at set-pieces, no invention in our set-pieces, etc), but we have not been far off from getting results in any of the games.

It wont take much for us to go on a run and get 4 or 5 wins in 6 or 7 games and climb the table. I am very disappointed with our points return, but I am sure our luck will change and the squad will gel and start performing at a more consistent level over time.

 

[PONTUS KAAMARK]

I am just getting a bit sick of hearing Levein bemoaning our bad luck all the time. He constantly looks to blame our results on lady luck.

I wish he would come out and say 'we werent good enough' or 'the other team were better today'. Rather than 'we should have a pen' 'we were unlucky' and so on.

I think it would do him a lot of favours if was more honest and called a spade a spade.

 

[PFKAKTF FOX]

But I will be honest in many of the games I have seen, and that is a good few, in the majority we have been the better side and it has been down to a lack of concentration at the back or some poor finshing which has been the difference between what has been an indifferent start to one that could so easily have been very good. Big difference for me is the amount of effort and energy the players are displaying compared to the performances under Adams.
IMO I thought we gave a fairly decent account of ourselves in the 2nd half on saturday and probably did deserve at least a point, bearing in mind we played the best part of 70 minutes with 10 men.

 

[PONTUS KAAMARK]

Yeh but you can only play the luck card so often. Eventually people patience runs out and that will happen quicker if he keeps saying we were unlucky.

 

[Hazzman]

I dont expect Promotion, I expect a battling team (QPR on Saturday goes against that), I expect a decent standard of Football (i.e. Sheffield United, despite the loss there was some hunger) and a manager who can inspire.

We dont have any of these I think this is echoed by many Anti-Levein fans, it is a case of we want effort but we not seeing any of this. The football is dire and dismal, something which needs to be altered.

At the end of the day, Levein is not doing his job right. (LCFC are losing)

 

[MHS]

Do you want Levein out?

Let's keep this one short but sweet.....
