We have to win the next two games, otherwise we could be in trouble......
.... If Pboro and Millwall also win their next two games! :icon_wink

I'll have a pint bet with anyone who doesn't think we are going up. Any takers?
Very worried now however I can't help but think if we do go up with this current bunch we will get battered week in week out in the championship. Only Tunchev is capable of playing in the championship out of our bunch. Maybe Howard and Oakley on their day but Oakley is too inconsistent. I thought when we get relegated we were going to build a good young squad and go up with fresh young hungry players. How wrong was I, all we have got is loanees what is going to happen when these all go back. Really worried for our future at the minute.
Such a typical Leicester fan with so much pessimism. I'm not worried considering this is our lowest point in our history so, in reality, the only way is up. Why be so pessimistic when you have no idea what's in Pearson's mind. You make it seem like he won't bother adding to the squad...

FFS get a grip man!!!
After we are promoted we will be allowed to get new players in who should be more than capable of 'competing in the Championship.
Pearson has done a good job of assembling a team capable of getting out of this division - which is what he was asked to do. As for the loanees, don't you think it remotely possible that some of these would prefer to stay with us rather than back to reserve team football (if at all) with their current clubs.
What loanees are going to stay possibly Hobbs? Maybe Gilbert who is league 1 quality anyway. We should of signed some players at the start of the season and got a good team together for next season. But no we just loaned players and signed old players e.g Edworthy and Powell and Dickov.
Yes, what an utter disaster Pearson hgas been in the transfer market eh??!!
It is only Millwall who count in terms of how it may effect us. They have won a lot of games this season with very late goals. I cannot remember them dropping too many points in the final few minutes though so maybe their luck will change in the run in.
We win on saturday and the picture will change again.
Yes of course he will add to the squad and like last year it will take ages for the team to mould and we will end up in the same position as we are in now.
I suppose he has done well in the transfer market. But he hasn't signed any good players the good ones are on loan. His signings that I can think of are Dyer and Morrison and to be honest neither are great. I'm not criticising Nige he is a legend of course !

Sounds like a criticism to me.
Nothing wrong with either of them. They have been a big part of us being 4 points clear at the top of the table. How many games have they each played.
Morrison is a young raw defender who will only get better over the next few years. Dyer played really well and created loads of goals in the early part of the season. He's just been a bit poor as of late but were still top.
I think we'll be just fine with the majority of this squad. I'm sure he will tinker with a few people and bring some players in. I can see a few players going and a few coming in.
A regular keeper is needed. Back up strikers are needed and a midfielder or 2 imo. I think the defence will be fine. I think Hobbs will stay and with Hobbs, Morrison, Tunchev, Kisnorbo, Mattock, we are fine in that department.
