When did you lose hope?

[StanSP]

After Southampton away, fully. 

 

Then even more so after Bournemouth at home. 

 

Especially considering how tight the table was even at the start of March, let alone Apirl.

Truth be told, the Bournmouth game was the lightbulb moment for me that there were deep rooted issues at the club. Saddler played Amartey because Souttar was tired, and Vardy was wandering around up top. The performance was no different to what we saw against Southampton or Palace. No one played like we were in a relegation battle and all Saddler could talk about was the players 'confidence'.  Bournmouth bullied us and we looked like kids who couldn't give a toss. Lots of attacking options against a pretty naff Bournmouth side and we did next to nothing.

 

To think, if we had won the Bournmouth game we could have pulled them into the relegation fight. Such a wasted opportunity.

Monday 8 May was the day it all went wrong and we started to need snookers.

Before the season started ,afew wins against nobody's put us  in a false position  for 8th,I thought we'd go last season .

[ROB-THE-BLUE]

When Everton and Forest both won after our Fulham game.

[Pliskin]

After we got shagged in the last two minutes by spurs. It showed that this side has had its bollocks removed.

John your bang on. Those wins gave us a disservice.

[StevieH]

Liverpool game for me. Was men against boys with no desire or effort. All too many concerned with their future career away from Leicester and not wanting to get injured. Realised then how really poor we are. No coming back from that defeat.

[RonnieTodger]

Bournemouth and then again against Fulham. 
 

There’s just no belief that we can go and do what Everton and Forest did today. 

[WigstonWanderer]

Didn’t lose hope at this point, but I swear our fortunes shifted when Rodgers kicked that water bottle when we’d just gone was it 3 nil up at half time?

You're just saying that because his name is John as well

[Guest Col city fan]

Not to this extent at all, but I kinda knew we were going quickly downhill when we lost to Forest in the FA cup and then when we hadn’t signed anyone in the summer.

Ive been saying for possibly 18 months that we had one of the worst defences in the league. This was compounded by selling Schmeichel.

No team can concede the amount of goals we have and get anything but failure.

[JimmyC74]

Bournemouth home.

[Jattdogg]

Deep down, when we lost against palace, villa and bournemouth in april.

[Guest Mee-9]

I’ve come to terms with relegation, did months ago. 
 

However it doesn’t make it any easier at all. It’ll still hurt on the terraces next Sunday.

Bournemouth at home realistically. Angriest I’ve felt at a game. The manner of the performance in such a crucial game was disgraceful, and the reaction from

those of us left at the end said it all. False hope from the win over Wolves. 1 win in 15 says it all

Yeah you're on a hiding to nothing with the defence shipping goals for fun, it doesn't guarantee success like it didn't for us in 2008. But it gives you something to build from.

[FoxTimmy2]

I haven't lost all hope yet, just want to be taken out of my misery that is this season.

[daddylonglegs]

It’s been a rollercoaster of hope since Rodgers got the boot.

 

I had no hope after the Palace game, then when we clearly didn’t have a plan to replace him, the hope went down again. 
 

Then we get Deano in… a bit more hope…

 

Then two big moments just told me it wasn’t gonna be our year. The Youri goal being disallowed at Leeds, then the JM penalty against Everton. 

[iancognito]

Bournemouth

 

It was the point I realised they don't care.

[Nolucklcfc]

I’ve had a bad feeling about this season for a long time but probably the Everton game I realised how poor we actually are and the Fulham one where I just accepted it was happening.

I knew something wasn't quite right when the Rodgers sacking, something I'd wanted for ages, didn't even make me particularly happy. While it was right to get rid, the timing revealed our problems were definitely bigger than just him - that's not to absolve him of his role in this.

 

We seem to have timed everything so badly. We seemed to have a good run / result before every obvious time to sack him. The world cup and Brentford away being the main two of note.

...I really believe if we had lost to Brentford, instead of drawing the game he (Rodgers) would have been sacked the next day. We had to wait for the next game in order for us to follow through. After the Brentford game, we went on a break that would have allowed us to have brought someone in. That would have given us 3 more games with someone in place.
