not the greatest draw for the cup, but still a pl side.

by all accounts last nights match wasn't a great one, but we had plenty of chances to put them to the sword, just didn't take them.

the only person last night to have a worse game than direby city was the ref at our match apparently

and we got the point with 10 men and could have got all three from the highlights i've seen.

happy not to be losing, frustrated we aren't winning with the players we have out there and optimistic with the players we are waiting on smile

Vaughan's red card appealed.
Appeal fails.

Meanwhile two appeals by premiership teams mean red cards are rescinded.
It's as if the Football League isn't as important or something.

God knows what the appeal panel were thinking, Vaughan didn't make any contact at all with the guy's nose as he alleged. Should be subject to the ban himself for simulation and getting a player sent off. It happened recently in non-league.

Good job Teshce and Gardner are back, but in two games we've lost the centre mid pairing that has been working very well together.

Well a fine win over the bottom of the table side, and Lord knows we have lost a few of those in the last few years.

Into the top half, don't think we will make the playoffs this year, too far back and its way to competitive. But would like to see us make a strong run in.

All quiet in the East Midlands I notice

Have you all become Leicester fans ...?

Great win today, away at the division leaders, great smash and grab

Closing in... but need a long run.

I'm still in shock that Dougies game plan from his mid week press conference came true! 'Hold the game equal then smash and grab in the last 20 minutes' Ward '70 yikes I'll have to ask him for next weeks lottery numbers

No still here, just been a bit busy to post anything.
Another geat result today, DF is really proving his doubters wrong, so pleased Fawaz has learnt his lesson!

Really pleased for Leicester though, never hated the team or the fans unlike another of our close neighbours, whose season again looks like it could implodesmile

WTF?
Working under really tough conditions through previous poor management and horrendous injury problems, still manages to bring in some quality players, 2 left backs as an example and then this happens.
I am so sad as to what is happening to our once great club!

Daft decision. Just don't get it.

Sadly, I think it's the beginning of the end. Gates are massively down (Tuesday night, Preston was the lowest league attendance since April 2008) the club aren't guaranteed to be out of embargo in the summer, the club is forever at the high court and, are 9 points from a relegation battle.

I also think season ticket renewals will be massively down.

Will I renew? Yes, I think I will, the club needs loyal fans.

The thing is though football is a results business & lets be honest, most championship clubs would love to have the players available that Dougie had even with all the injuries he still had a team to pick from that most managers would love! So I get why he has been sacked to be honest, just to inconsistent.

I don't get it either. Who in their right mind would come here? No money to spend and 7 managers in 4 years?

Billy? hehe

But on the other hand, Saturday was absolutely dreadful. Wednesday weren't a bad side but we made them look like Barca at times.

Another thing that grated on me was when their bloke got sent off, The challenge did look quite nasty from where I was, but not one of our lot looked mad, or squared up to their players. (Not that i'm condoning it, But previously Dex or someone would be the first person to any challenge having a word. Just looked like no one could be arsed to me.
I don't mind losing if we show some heart, but there was none.

Saturday should be interesting

Apparently Forest are going out to attack tonight & for the rest of the season! I have said all along that should we go into games with that mindset, we will beat most teams with in this league so tonight could be "interesting"

You know what'll happen now, don't you? We'll take 3 points from each game until the end of the season and Fawaz will send a tweet saying : "I told you so..."

Didn't even listen last night but after Saturday I'm very surprised if any fans made the trip!

It was dire, first time in ages I can remember the home crowd booing a Red every time he touched the ball. Wilson.

I thought Wilson was going to be one of the best central defenders in this league! How wrong was I!!!! He is awful.

In other news - Steve Cotterill as our next manager (maybe)

816 went to Reading last night which surprised me.

Really don't know what to make of things at the club anymore. I do think that Fawaz will have a For Sale board up before the end of the 2016/17 season though.

I think Paul Williams has lost the plot! On a positive note, I think Fox did ok considering he never gets a chance.

Agree with Fox, he did do well. I tonight Lansbury looked the best I've seen him for a while too. Dexter Blackstock continues to be off side more than he is on!

Nigel Pearson was at the game last night - I'd like him as our manager even though he could be a PR nightmare.
