tickler28 Posted 14 January 2023 Share Posted 14 January 2023 This is not going to get any better im afraid...especially with the upcoming fixtures....I'm convinced that 2 new signings plus Ricardo, Madders, KDH and Evans back might be all that can save us now...maybe 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Ric Flair Posted 14 January 2023 Popular Post Share Posted 14 January 2023 1 point vs the top 10 this season out of 10 games and we are now about to play 4 of them again + Villa away so it's highly likely we'll still be on 17 points from 24 games and have a mountain to climb. To think Brendan was targeting us to get in to the top 10 by the end of this run of games 😂😂😂😂 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guy Posted 14 January 2023 Share Posted 14 January 2023 So does our first relegation since the unthinkable in 2008 to League One (in a similarly chaotic, topsy turvy and 'mismanaged from the top' season in the Championship as this one to date in the Prem.), beckon in May??! I dread to think it might. For now we have to be thankful there are five poor teams below us - but for how much longer on current form?! We'll know more by February once the transfer window has closed and with regard to present injured personnel.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those teams below us will or have all changed their manager before we will in an attempt to evoke an improvement. They're all willing to invest in players too. We are all but relegated without decisive action. 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TJB-fox Posted 14 January 2023 Share Posted 14 January 2023 The thing that scares me about this current crop of players is if we’re anywhere near the bottom 3 come end of the season, which we will be, we’ll absolutely crumble. No way we’d be capable of getting a gritty win(s) when needed. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Number 6 Posted 15 January 2023 Share Posted 15 January 2023 Feels nailed on that we'll be 17 points after 24 games. We'll need to be nigh in perfect in the remaining 12 to survive. I'm not sure we've got the fight in us to. There's already a reasonable gap opening above us too: 3 to Forest, 5 to Palace, 8 to Villa. Looks like 7 of us trying to avoid the 3 spots. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only Moyes at present appears to be equally unsackable....while Lampard must surely be skating on thin ice now after today's damaging defeat to the Saints. My post was more saying the last time the club was in this much turmoil (on and of the pitch), we were .... relegated! That was without a Premier League and an FA Cup trophy in the cabinet admittedly, with the other additional main difference being from the league below of course. Anyway, recent glories aside then if we did go down I don't think we'd return in any hurry either! Possibly Blackburn the second?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have regressed so badly, it’s an abomination. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shailen Posted 15 January 2023 Share Posted 15 January 2023 I think relegation talks are premature given we're only half way through the season and we're still outside the relegation zone but something seriously needs to change. Whether a new signing, change in manager can spark our season and be the catalyst is the question but carry on this way and we may well be looking down the table rather than up.

somebum Posted 15 January 2023 Share Posted 15 January 2023 What strikes me is the number of players we have who are of championship standard or at best bottom half prem. I'm sure it's open to debate but I would consider Ward Smithies Thomas Amartey Bertrand Vestergaarbage Soumare Perez Daka At this current time, probably vardy All totally sub standard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we had April's fixtures in February, I'd be more at ease, but I know what this lot are like under pressure. Total bottlejobs under a bottlejob manager. Leeds away in April on a Tuesday night. A fired up Elland Road under the lights in a six pointer. I think we all know what happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Southampton are improving. Wolves difficult to call. Bournemouth will fill a relegation spot. The two above us are in the mix. Maybe no more teams above than that though. At one point I thought Bournemouth, Forest, and Southampton would be the three. At the moment I'd say Bournemouth, us and ano. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leicester_Loyal Posted 15 January 2023 Share Posted 15 January 2023 Just how far behind 17th are we going to be in a few weeks? If we get to the end of March with Rodgers still here I can't see any way that we could possibly stay up, even if he's sacked prior to April. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes indeed - all too real a reality for comfort at the moment when talk was (before the World Cup interruption of all things!), that we were then improved enough to be aiming for a mid table finish or better! At the end of the day we are two points away from bottom spot now and with the next six fixtures then we may well be occupying that very spot by March. From then on then I sense the Great Escape with this squad of players (no Cambiasso and Ulloa to get their Argentinian heads together to get us out of it this time, eight years on!) will definitely not happen if the above did indeed come to fruition!

Lcfc-1992 Posted 15 January 2023 Share Posted 15 January 2023 Leicester are halfway through their Premier League season. In each of the past 5 seasons, they've picked up fewer points over the second half of the campaign. 17/18 27 points📉20 points 18/19 28📉24 19/20 39📉23 20/21 38📉28 21/22 28📉27 22/23 17 points after 19 games 😬 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foxinsox Posted 15 January 2023 Share Posted 15 January 2023 (edited) I think the team will get its mojo back when the window closes, as I think it is unsettling everybody. We will problem then scrape through, but with summer departures very much a relegation battle from day 1 next season.

We are in one now,well actually no we are not because there is no battle, at the moment it’s us and Bournemouth who will definitely be going down, Everton and West Ham have enough quality with a new manager bounce. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
