More wise words from WACCOE (yes I have stolen this from an intermediary
):
All, & I mean nearly all waccoe members who commented in a thread before the season start, say that he was a clown, crap manager etc. Hence saying that leicester won't be a threat cus he was named manager.
I remember being gobsmacked at the time as he won 3 out of 4 games as caretaker when robson was sacked at wba & drew the other game. He kept saints up last season. He seemed to deserve a chance to me.
He seems to be taking that chance, leaving us in his slip stream.

Leicester have an immense defence for this league and now a couple of strikers who aint spectacular but will score goals . I fancied them to walk this league anyway with us 2nd by some distance . Ive seen nowt to change my mind . Carlisle are worrying me also they seem to be scoring for fun as do oldham to a degree .
Did expect leicester to start very poor to be honest so they have surprised me how quick they have got to grips in this league .
At the end of the day i dont give a rats arse how we get up as long as we do thumbsup.gif

When do we ever win 4:0 away?
That -15 motivated us, what's motivating leicester?
---------
A good manager i suppose and a settled squad who have not made too many changes
---------
4 games in and we are handing the title to leicester and asking for macca to be sacked.

I'm not asking for macca to be sacked.
I am very frustrated that he can't motivate the team then see a new manager appear at another club, clicks his fingers & bang, top of the league. I can only see leicester getting better. I hope I'm wrong.
Leicester sold alot of there "best" players too remember blink.gif
------------
wouldnt say we are handing the title to them just say that they are probably a stronger unit than us defensivly last season i think they had the 2nd best in the championship just struggled badly for goals . As i say i couldnt care less about the title its promotion we want whether in 2nd or the play offs preferably not the play offs ph34r.gif

I was one of the few people on that thread that said don't underestimate Pearson as a manager. This was going to be his last chance managing a "decent" sized club. What he achieved at Southampton in keeping them up was a minor miracle. By all acounts he has leicester very fit this season. He is an old school type of manager. As other posters have said they one of the best defences in the championship and keep the bulk of the squad from last season as well as bringing in some really good loan signings, There team has been built on a strong defence.
Hobbs, Morrison, Gilbert, Truncheon
They also have good competitin up front and the fastest winger in the division in Dyer.
They are a very good side. At the start of the season I said we would both go automatically, I still do. It was always going to be the question. How would therir players reaact to live in the divsion and they seem to have responded well to Pearson so far.
--------------
I'd have Pearson as our manager (but not just yet!), he was always what I'd call a PROFESSIONAL footballer and he's carrying on the same as a coach and manager.
He'll do well and will end up in the Prem.

Leyton Orient flattered to deceive. They just didn't have the quality of a Leicester City, no ifs ands or buts about it.
If the Foxes aren't top two at the end of the season, i'll be shocked.
-------------
Hate to say it but if Leicester play they have been they will win the league and win it with a month to go. Their defence record is brilliant and they are scoring 3-4 goals at a time some games. I would rather have their team than ours.

Bloke I work with is an ex youth player at leicester. He now works part time coaching the kids. He reckons the transformation is unreal. Passing, moving quick.
I told him leeds play football like netball. Pass it, then stop. It's just as if we are not allowed to move when we have the ball. Hence very few chances ever created.
-------------
If we finish above leicester we will win the division its simple as that
-------------
I'd agree with that^^^
