Leicester_Loyal Posted 26 April 2023 Share Posted 26 April 2023 17 minutes ago, Beachyboy said: 37 points I reckon is the magic number, 2 wins and 2 draws or 3 wins from 5 needed. IMO there’s no way we get 37, 36 max, with our GD should be enough to stay up. If we manage 36 we’ll have had a touch, 34/35 seems much more realistic.

Number 6 Posted 26 April 2023 Share Posted 26 April 2023 Can't see us getting to 37 points. I reckon 35 would be a reasonable return from where Smith took over, would require us to get a couple of wins. A draw on top of that would make 36 and give us a good chance I think, especially with our goal difference. Obviously depends where we get the wins though. Beating Everton could potentially put us 4 ahead of them and I think they'd struggle to get past us from that position with 5 to play. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe he won't. And I don't think players really stop caring at the end of seasons. But they won't and don't have that extra desire when they themselves aren't playing for anything, away from home and all the pleasantries are done and dusted for them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corky Posted 26 April 2023 Share Posted 26 April 2023 We don't actually play after the other sides every week. On the 8th we kick off at 3pm at Fulham, Everton are at Brighton at 5.30pm and Notts v Saints is at 8pm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bugg Posted 26 April 2023 Share Posted 26 April 2023 I still can't believe Dias didn't see red for that petulant kick at Ben White in the game earlier to be honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super_horns Posted 26 April 2023 Share Posted 26 April 2023 (edited) Lampard with some sour grapes saying Brentford had one shot but scored 2 goals . Looks like Moyes is after an apology from Howard Webb. As we all know handballs are a bit of a lottery as to if they are given or not .

Guest Mee-9 Posted 26 April 2023 Share Posted 26 April 2023 I think we’ll get wins over Everton and Fulham. All rests for me on what we do against Liverpool and West Ham. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iancognito Posted 26 April 2023 Share Posted 26 April 2023 It only takes a couple of sides to drop their game and those "tough" run-ins the other teams have won't matter. Brighton should have had that game put to bed tonight with their chances but Forest dug in and despite looking absolute doggo for an hour they got a deflected OG and a penalty to get an undeserved 3 pts. You see it in every run in, someone at the bottom picking off a team mentally on the beach. Let's hope the likes of Newcastle and Spurs still have some fight left in them by the end of May. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bear Posted 26 April 2023 Share Posted 26 April 2023 We play Brighton on Saturday. Hopefully they're still hungover from the last two games and we can get something there. Doubt we'll gets much luck as Forest though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan LCFC Posted 27 April 2023 Share Posted 27 April 2023 (edited) Honestly think if luck wasn't a factor Forest would be pushing Derby's 11 points. And if we'd sacked Rodgers when we should've done (February 2022 at the latest) Chelsea would be in with a genuine shout of the drop. Forest's run-in actually looks a hell of a lot different now they have Man Utd, Liverpool and Brighton out of the way. They have 4 teams with nothing to play for (Brentford, Chelsea, Arsenal*, Palace*) and Southampton at home. * Will have nothing to play for by the time of their game. Their revolting luck as usual. Actually think we might both get out of it. I'm edging towards Southampton, Leeds and Everton. Edited 27 April 2023 by Dan LCFC 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So they're without a doubt winning one and losing the other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought a ticket to the QPR game thinking it would be a relegation decider, as it turned out QPR were already relegated, an we were safe and battered em 5-1. My point is nobody would of thought we'd get to that total of 42 or whatever it was, aim high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beachyboy Posted 27 April 2023 Share Posted 27 April 2023 If you look at our hardest game on paper it's Newcastle away, in our last trip there we were in the game for 60 mins, an now we have a new manager that will give that extra lift, when the games tight. I don't think they blow us away, the Spurs result is more a reflection on them than Newcastle. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leicesterpool Posted 27 April 2023 Share Posted 27 April 2023 (edited) I don't think I've seen Chelsea look so bad, can't win, can't score, defensively. To be honest they should really be in the relegation dog fight. Those few wins in they had August and September as probably just kept them out of it. Noticed how all the Chelsea shirts have disappeared off the streets. Loyal supporters... my ass. Edited 27 April 2023 by Leicesterpool 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
