You think Rodgers doesn’t walk round the ground because he comes on here and reads the forum don’t you He doesn’t need to read the forum. There was a banner in previous games and chants of “Rodgers out” at different games. I don’t blame him for not acknowledging fans like he used to.

A long way to go but we are in a relegation battle, which with this squad shouldn’t be happening I think there are about 10 teams in the relegation battle atm so while not great its not just us a few wins though and we could be top half, plus our form over the last 6 games compared to the first 6 is massive so while we are improving others are starting to fall flat a bit, like you say long way to go.

I get the positivity but we were rubbish last season, throughout, it was looking like a low finishing position. Towards the end of the season, we managed a few good results, albeit against teams with nothing to play for and/or already relegated teams (But you can only play what's infront of you), there was a sense, from some, that we'd turned it around, finishing in a fairly high and respectful position given where we were and how the season was going, gaining confidence and momentum going into this season. Clearly not. Edited 30 October 2022 by Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tuna Posted 30 October 2022 Share Posted 30 October 2022 I think Rodgers needs 3 points from the next two games or at least needs to be out of the bottom three by the World Cup, I think if we go into the world cup in the bottom three then Top may need to make a decision, basically back him with signings or sack him.

You do realise that we would need 45+ points from the remaining 25 games to get close to 7th or 8th this season don't you? That's 1.8 points a game for the rest of the season, not impossible as this squad has shown in the past it can pretty much do that for two thirds of a season but it's a real big ask.

I took it too mean not that we would need finish 6th or higher, but that Fulham and Bournemouth are highly likely to drop off over a season, and at some juncture we should be good enough to overtake them.

Only because the bar has been set so low but fingers crossed we push on. The next 2 games will be telling imo. I do think the quality in the squad will see us safe but I don't think we'll finish anywhere near Fulham personally 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On a related note, I rarely get jealous of other teams signings, but I was very jealous of Palhinha as he is a superb player, and felt he would be ideal for us.

As much as I want Rodgers out I take no pleasure in seeing us where we are. Yeah he looks a real player. Seems like they've learned from their shoddy transfer strategy last time 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gazza M Posted 30 October 2022 Share Posted 30 October 2022 I think we will finish somewhere around 15th - 12th and he should sail off in to the sunset to pastures new content with a job well done overall as we all press the reset button and start afresh. The club should never ever again give out contracts like smarties well above its ratio to turnover and put us in that position. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have picked up a little and I don't think anybody can deny that but I've got this horrible vision that we'd finish say, 14th, and he'd somehow manage to get away with spinning it being a good season. This ultimately is a good squad that should've never even been in the discussion, and we're likely to hit January in the bottom 3. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazza M Posted 30 October 2022 Share Posted 30 October 2022 (edited) Let's face it, he spun his own narrative early doors to cover his backside. That I can't forgive as the club has given him ample resource over time. Edited 30 October 2022 by Gazza M 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be interesting if Radio Leicester goes back to asking the question, it would be a test of his diplomacy, giving his answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angus Scott Posted 30 October 2022 Share Posted 30 October 2022 So over a third of the season gone & we have 11 points. At that rate we will have just over 30 points, this equals relegation. We have 25 games left & probably need between 28 & 30 points to survive, something that should be no worry with the quality of squad we have. The big problem is our elite coach, we still have to play Liverpool twice, Newcastle twice, Man U & Man City away & Chelsea, Arsenal & Spurs at home. That is 9 games that, if yesterday's tactics are anything to go by, we are unlikely to try & win. So write those off & we have 16 games to get almost 2 points per game. I would say that is very doubtful, unless BR decides to be more positive against the bigger teams (very unlikely) or preferably we get a new manager in with some refreshing ideas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not Rodgers in either but had we lost those games we ended up winning, we'd be in an even worse predicament. The fact that we needed the revival so that we're not left behind is emphasis enough. Standards haven't dropped. We still, as a fanbase, hope for much better days than what we have now. But wins were needed and we got them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my opinion he should've been gone a long time ago. Unfortunately it's clear he's going nowhere so this season is completely about survival now. Just don't think recent results warrant the hype that he's somehow turned things around 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
