    Alright boys. Leicester fans here.

     

    I think it's a fair enough reflection albeit obviously one sided from your unwaivering support of your team 

    I bumped into 4 of your younglings, very drunk and enjoying an away day much like I did in my younger days. They somehow had managed to find their way from the train station to one of the roughest pubs in the city and nowhere near the route from the station to the ground ? a good bunch of lads though, I warned them not to try the cider up here and got them out of there and I walked them down to the ground. I told them at the time our ground is weird for atmosphere, we never really hear the away fans from where I sit, away fans assume they're the loudest, the home fans believe the opposite, truth is that usually it's a bit 50/50, but the sounds never carries. The only away fans that constantly put us to shame at our place is Newcastle, but they do that to most teams 

     

    In regards to the game, we know better than anyone how oragnsied Pearson can set his teams up to be, and judging by his pre match press conference we were pretty confident with how you'd approach that game, and so it proved to be. From my blue tinted specs perspective, I thought we made you look a lot poorer than you actually are. It was the 1st game, at home this season, where I didn't feel in the slightest threatened by what you had to offer. It felt only a matter of time before our goal would come, but we have this habit in the early part of this season of looking dangerous without ever looking like we're truly threatening. However yesterday, for the 1st time at home, we saw flashes of what we can offer. Our perspective is that we're still a work in progress and while we're winning games, us Leicester fans still have a feeling that we're not 100% yet, and it's still not clicking as it should. 

    I pre warned your youths on the way down to the ground that if Fatawu was on form then Pring didn't stand a chance, I like Pring a lot, he's a very good left back, but Fatawu beat him 9 out of 10 times.  Mavididi is your typical winger, when he's good he's very good, when he's not he's a bit meh. Your guys quite rightly pointed out though, we're shopping at Sporting Lisbon, you're shopping at West Brom. The onus is on us to do what we do, so fair play to you lot for frustrating us the way you did. 

    I personally have a bit of a soft spot for you guys due to the obvious connections and I hope you well, but on another day yesterday's game ends up 2 or 3 nil, but that's on us, we need to be more clinical because teams who set up such as yourselves, will catch us out from time to time, and we'll be left scratching our heads at how we didn't win and we'll be saying the same thing "on another day we could have won 2 or 3 nil" ?

     

    But that's what makes football the game we love so much, it's all subjective. I like to read other fans perspectives on games, I feel it gives me a more measured view and this was a good read. I wish you well for the rest of the season, and I'm looking forward to playing you at your place, again going back to Pearsons pre match talk, I expect you to try and play a bit more at home, and we need to see how we compete in those sorts of games, teams so far are coming to our place and playing our reputation as a "premier league team" and setting up as such. Facts are that we're not and we weren't good enough for the premier league last season, but that was the fraud that is Brendan Rodgers fault. We are where we are, and we're under no illusion that our financial status and the players retained should see us go back up, but true Leicester fans with memories that stretch a lot further back than 2016 will always be the eternal pessimist, so until that is 100% confirmed we'll always believe that it'll probably go wrong and we know we're in a dog fight to get out of the championship and we'll come up against well organised sides that are very capable of getting a result, such as yourselves.

     

     

    Don't disagree with that however,  we were very  depleted by injuries.  We will be well up  for 29th March,  it won't be so  one sided,  so do make sure you come back on here. ?

    This is a really odd transfer in my opinion but hey ho.

    2nd home game vs Millwall. We know his weaknesses & need our right side to run at him hard from the off. 
    I can’t imagine he is very much looking forward to playing at AG as an away player & we certainly don’t want him to enjoy it on the day. COYRs.

     

    We are away to millwall.

    Has recovered Barnsley from an incredibly bad run to get within 5 points of the play offs. The run they went on was reminiscent of the one his dad had here initially. Luckily for both of them their boards, held their finger off the fire button long enough to turn things around.

    He may not have Championship experience, but he was around the club in the Championship under his father and he must have picked some tips in that time.

    Personally I think he will show loyalty to Barnsley in return and see if he can reach the playoffs.

    Yeah and Teddy Sherringham played in the prem and for England, didn't do him much good.  As far as Johnson is concerned, and all that circus that went with daddy, it's a big fat NO from me!
