Who's fault is it the players don't know what their doing ? Do we? Why do people keep saying this.

Our team is hardy “hugely” talented, we have a few talented youngsters and some older players who have peaked and are only gunna get worse. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who's fault is it the players don't know what their doing ? I think they know what they're doing, I just don't think a few of them are as hugely talented as you think. You can't get champagne and oyster football out of beer and chips players. Doesn't matter which manager you put in charge of the same team at at the start of the season, they were never going to finish sixth or above and it could have been a lot worse. To think some people were screaming for Dyche and Howe? I like both of them, but they actually haven't faired much better. We are about in the table or just above where we should reasonably expect to be. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got a jammy win against Wolves and failed to impress in all but a handful of matches under Puel. So I'll stick to the blind faith opinion.

Me too, but it would be interesting to know to what position in League Two LCFC have to fall before you think there's something wrong ? Perhaps you'd be happier supporting Newport ?

Happy new year! I think the problem is that you expect us to be walking these games. Everton, West Ham, Watford, Bournemouth, Wolves, Brighton and us are pretty much all in a similar position atm. None of us are good enough to walk all over the teams 14th-20th, yet we can all sneak in good results against the top 6. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, you look further away and down because you quite clearly want Puel to fail (hence why you keep portraying being an inconsistent midtable side as being poor rather than what we can expect from the budget we have) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps you'd be happier supporting Newport ? My first team Newport County before I moved to Leicester and started supporting the Foxes. So happy still to 'support' Newport, as I did when they were out of the league, though not this weekend coming. ? To address your hyperbole though, we are ninth in the PL. Hardly the crisis position you seem to suggest. And you support your team wherever they are. Edited 31 December 2018 by Cadno'r Cymoedd 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And, once again, just for the record... I WANT PUEL TO IMPROVE IN VARIOUS ASPECTS, NOT FAIL Hope that clears things up x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see West Ham, Wolves and Everton finishing above us, Watford, Bournemouth and Brighton also have a good chance. Nothing in the way we play tells me we are better than the rest of this mid table lot and we are prone to dropping points with teams from the bottom. We look better than most of them on paper, but that's about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t get me wrong - Percy has been briefed but that doesn’t mean the people briefing him have much influence ...... those at the top are likely not looking to make any changes after what happened the situation behind the scenes ain’t great and I guess it has to get worse before things come to a head 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbo Posted 31 December 2018 Share Posted 31 December 2018 1 hour ago, Matt said: Out of interest what were your thoughts pre-Chelsea and Man City. I'm not trying to change history or what has been, we beat both of them, we played well, just wondering how much those two games had a bearing on your opinion though given all the poor bits we've seen. As i've said people seem to flip-flop between in and out from one match to the next, a large percentage made comments and voted out before those games, 1 game v Chelsea shifted the opinion, the following game v Man City, shifted the opinion even more, the loss to Cardiff shifted some of those opinions back to out. This is why there are accusation of people being fickle, i'm not saying you personally by that way. I can personally say I've always been 'Puel in' He frustrates me, our playing style has me questioning my faith sometimes, he bores me and I very rarely listen to post match interviews but......... We're currently where I'd expect us to be in the league. I'd like to qualify for Europe and we're on course to be in the mix. We severely messed up our transfer dealings after we won the league and Puel has made good progress of clearing that up. We've bought young and very decent players as well as promoted from within. We've signed experience where it has been needed. Negatively speaking, sometimes it seems as though he has too much faith in a few players, Gray for example, and I wonder how long that faith will last. Is he truly stubborn and just keep playing those players in the hope that maybe they'll improve or will it run out and he'll change it? I'm a firm believer in stability and that success doesn't happen over night. I'd like to think that we are still, and will be for some time, in a transitional period. Slowly he is bringing in the players that suit the style that so far has bored so many of us, myself included at times. We are not Man City or PSG and can't just throw money at the team and get everything we want immediately, we have to be more careful and considered about it. For me the pros outweigh the cons, just. But in the long term I do believe that he is setting us up for a decent future 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I expect us to set up in a more positive / attacking line up against the likes of Cardiff, Burnley, Palace etc etc... Not keep playing in Puel's stubborn, almost arrogant style, sticking with two defensive midfielders in Mendy and Ndidi.. His team selections are at best baffling!.. His post match interviews / analysis are robotic with the same old tripe coming out of his boring mouth!.. Can you imagine the players being motivated by his pre match / halftime team talk?.. I can't! It's boring under his regime.. It's predictable.. (Apart from the 2 freak results against Chelsea and Manchester City)... But how long is he going to dine out on those results?.. All the good the Manchester City result done was nullified by the Cardiff one a few short days later! Yes we're 8th in the table. But we've flattered to deceive for too long now. We need Puel gone.. And quickly. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We all need people around us to guide and advise, whatever age. He could be so much better and that's frustrating.

It looks to me that Puel will be here for the remainder of this season at least, so we might all as well get behind him and the team and see how high we can finish. I'm sure his tenure will be analysed and reviewed as necessary by the hierarchy when the season finishes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All I ever read is how shit x, y, z is, how we've signed loads of duds, that we need cm's, strikers and wingers... then in the next breath we've got a great squad. Realistically the signings of Silva and Iheanacho and them flopping have left us in a bit of a mess. Ditto failing to replace Mahrez in the summer and having a last minute panic buy with Rachid. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strikes me Puel has no interest in what’s being said around him which in some ways is commendable however we’ve seen how that played out for Jose who couldn’t move from his default approach despite it failing to deliver over and over. I assume Stowell just keeps his head down. He’s being through so many managers he must just go with the flow. Mir must be difficult to be in a job like that day to day with little or no positive interaction coming towards you (fans or players) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
