I hope you moaning gits on here, and we all know who you are, listened to the interview with Ollie and feel thoroughly ashamed. Now p1ss off.

Aye, and therein lies the problem for both players.

One looks interested, the other doesn't. In reality, they both achieve the same results.

Not quite, looking uninterested gets the fans backs up, but i take your point.

Anyhows, the Mrs is away for the night and i have some bottles of wine and columbian marching powder arriving shortly so i bid you all good night. :icon_bigg

Im not defending Hume in any way as he was part of the problem today, but at least the guy looks like he is trying, Cort just looks uninterested.

If you listen to Holloway on the radio he is giving imo a very reasonable post match analysis about life at Leicester. He sounds rather upset and angry about the stick given to the senior players.
IH.....' what message does it send to our young players when they see the older ones getting so much abuse '
......' Carl Cort has been on the treatment bench for the last 2 wks, he got off it because he wanted to play for Ian Holloway. What people dont realize is that we dont have the options and he was buying us time with using young Sappleton '
 
I think that the really good thing in Holloway's remarks is that he didn't do what so many managers do and say that he thought that Cort had a good game. He explained why Cort played and how debilitating it is when you can't train - and, anyone who has read Holloway's autobiography, will know that he has first hand experience of that situation.
Holloway appears to be an excellent conduit between the players and the fans. Given time, I am sure that he will turn us around.

Why, has he just taken away what I've had to sit through for almost two hours?

Did he say that it was all just an illusion.

I don't care about his post match claptrap, I care what he's going to do to change it, and the proof of that will be in the next few games, not the 2 minutes of post match apologetic shite that I've spent the past 5 years bloody listening to

If you think for one minute that he will convince me what I just saw wasn't worth moaning about then you aren't really in a position to tell anybody to "p1ss off"

I thought he was very honest. He sounded gobsmacked about the unrealistic demands of the fans. Basically in his words ' its a massive job ' he knows that there is going to be no overnight success with this group of players. He is pratically saying that if they dont get better support from the fans then a difficult job will be made impossible. I got the feeling that he was saying that he wondered what he was doing here if everything was going to be so negative.

I thought his explanation about Cort was excellent. I can see why the players are going to like him so much. He is imo a footballers man. It was better than listening to the utter shite offered by Rob Kelly, Levein and Mental Micky.
 
Terrible match, the worst defensive performance I've seen from us for a while.
Someone mentioned Stearman being bad - he was, but nowhere near as bad as Kisnorbo, McAuley and Sheehan. Clemence had a disgraceful game.

Excellent. Are you suggesting I am personally responsible for having an effect on the mentality of our players/Managers?

I'm in a discussion forum FFS that is in no way affiliated with Leicester City, and it's a place for us all to share our opinions. So, allowing me to do so makes me grateful to you, but trying to suggest that I influence the team is ludicrous.

OK, let's go along with this line of reasoning. Although I only listened on the radio, it sounds as if this match was as poor as many over the last three years. Let's chuck out Holloway: he's obviously as poor as our last six or seven managers.

What then?

Perhaps we have to look at why manager after manager have got it wrong. Holloway has explained why Cort played. He wasn't match fit but he played so that the youngsters, Sappleton and Chambers didn't have to play for the full 90 minutes - he realises that they are not yet the finished article. He is basically saying cut the team some slack.

Look at the club's record over the last few seasons, we have consistently done better away from home: perhaps we put too much pressure of expectation upon a team that are not the best in the World - YET!
 
Poor game, uncharacteristically weak defending, lack of running and creativity in the midfield,lack of any cutting edge up front, missed chances and short of any positivity from the stands.

All in all a load of bollocks. We as a collective group of fans should do more for the team if we feel we have the right man in charge.

I have seen, along with many others what our players are capable of.

We are capable of turning over EVERY team in this league. We slaughtered Watford, and that wasn't luck, we outplayed them.

I have seen it with my own eyes, as have most of us. We know they can do it, we know they are capable, so to say our players aren't good enough is poppycock.

I am 99% confident, with the right Manager, the right goal, the right vision, the right motivation that we could win this league without any new players.

Odd games, yes, we can match anyone: but not consistently. Pick any team in any season and you can find the game where everyone clicked and a great result achieved but, a couple of injuries, a suspension and we're struggling.

How many - and which of our players would you put into a Championship eleven?
 
just got back from the match. It was dismal, after a good first ten mins we let it go.

We no speak, the positioning of the players was at times poor. Even worse was the passing, clemance was awlful today.

Newton seemed to spend most of the time prancing around in the middle rather than sticking to the wing.

I dont feel Cort deserved what he got, he played no worse than anyone on the day.

Hume was man of the match IMO
