    “1. At this time of the season points are easily picked up against mid-table (nothing to win teams). Players can get their holidays booked now for early June, we are going nowhere.
    2. No point, 3 games will give us a chance to get someone in on loan and stop persevering with Beckford. He has goals in him against Div 1 teams but cannot hack it at this level.
    3. Smichael, Peltier, Mills, Morgan, Koncheski: Gallagher, Wellens, Drinkwater, Marshall: Nugent, AN other
    4. Time to select your Strongest team Nigel! Lets get um in and see what they can do.......!!!!

    “1.
    NO, They should WIN the next 6 league games and get us all believing again! But will they?
    2.
    From what I saw, definately. I saw a foul that could warrant a yellow card maybe. I saw Beckford bend over the floored player and appear to say something to him. It was at that point that the assistant flagged the ref over. Neither I, nor anyone around me thought he was sent off for a kick. It had to be something he said? (confused.com!)
    3.
    Pearson don't like to make many changes and to be honest, apart from Palace away, his alternative selections have not made the impact we had hoped for. At Southampton it was still, Gallagher, Dyer & Wellens so the replacements for them have not yet proved better have they!
    I would play Kennedy at left back and Drinkwater in the centre with Marshall right and Dyer left with Nugent and Delfounseo (If fit)
    4.
    Just made the point that they have not proved any better than the players some fans want replacing so Not Much really.

    “26andy56

    we have lost as many home games as away games so what does it matter who still has to come here ? If we had a home record like Southampton (and we beat them home and away) we would have 52 points and be second.
    Fact is everybody knows the way, just park the team bus in front of goal and wait for your chance and you will get at least one point at the KP stadium. It was this way the first time NP was manager and nothing much has changed. No ideas = few goals and the first fans are mentioning the dreaded word - relegation. Given the money spent the situation is disgraceful and NP has now underperformed Sven's team.”

    “1 Should Leicester City forget about the play-offs after Saturday's defeat?
    I think Leicester's form would have to take a mecurially turn around to achieve it. Saturday's performance only serves to underline their inconsistency. The performance (which was again below par) was somewhat masked by dodgy refereeing decisons.
    2 Should City appeal against Jermaine Beckford's red card?
    Yes, if they believe it was unwarranted.
    3 What changes should Pearson make to the side for the visit of Cardiff City?
    Hard to say, very few of the players have shown any consistent form and self belief. I am not sure it matters who plays but rather the attitude and belief they adopt when selected from the 1st to the 95th minute
    4 What do you think of City's new signings?
    All good and will make Leicester a better team in the longer term. Defensive frailities continue to show each week and frustratingly we are getting punished for every single one. It is not the first time that poor marking by Peltier has led to an opposition player having acres of space to finish...”

    “1) Still a lot of points to play for so still a possibility but gets even harder with each defeat. Of the 17 games left may need to win a minimum of 12 but we've only won 10 out of 29!!!

    2) Definately, an absolutely ridiculious decision by the officials, but it maybe a forlorn hope afterall he's not a scouser playing in a red shirt who's foul mouth tirades to referees go unpunished?

    3) NP will pick what he considers the best options from the players available.

    4) Drinkwater looks the part but not seen enough of Marshall & Morgan to form an opinion, although my Huddersfield colleagues rate Marshall very highly.”

    “(1)what a pathetic question . 8 pts off a play off place with 51 to play for , of course were not gonna give up , were leicester , we fight to the end. (2)looks like the decision has been made, so NP must think he has a good case of getting it rescinded. (3)it alL depends on injuries and suspensions. it looks like danns is out and probably beckford , konchesky looked like he had a bad injury and delfouneso took a knock so if those 4 are out it looks like morgan, marshall , gallagher and howard will be in ,or he might stick moore or kennedy in the full back position cus i doubt bamba or pantsill will be back in time (4)drinkwater CLASS marshall TOO EARLY , BUT WILL BE CLASS , morgan TOO EARLY BUT WILL BE SOLID THOUGH LACKING PACE delfouneso TOO EARLY BUT I DOUBT HE WILL SCORE ANY GOALS AND SEEMS A BIT LIGHT WEIGHT”

    “No we can still make the play off's as we still havew Cardiff, Birmingham and West Ham at the King Power.

    Yes we should appeal against Becford's sending off that was i joke, yes i was at the game.

    That we have to leave upto Nigel has he only knows who's fit and who's not

    Drinkwater is a very good signing, don't realy know about the others as we have not had chance to see them, I think Morgan will take bamba place with a bit off luck”
