Football League Thread - Season 2018/22

[more heat than light]

Oh totally, I'm not complaining. But Hull will feel aggrieved I reckon.

Over the game we were miles better than Hull. The first 30 mins were some of the best stuff we’ve played in ages. Their goal was so against the run of play straight after our enforced sub and change of shape. Apart from the last few mins of each half I don’t recall us being much pressure at all.

Do you go to our games out of interest?

Not usually, I live in Leicester so it's a bit of a trek. Usually one or two a season. Agree we were the better side overall, first 30 mins were excellent, and we were decent in the second half but we were hanging on a bit at the end.

Maybe a little, but we seemed quite comfortable I thought. McKenna is fantastic back there alongside Worrall and Figs

Think you live a little closer than me? I travel 35 miles each way. Worth it at the moment

I also work Saturdays

My family are all Leicester fans, apart from my son who supports Arsenal for some reason. FA cup tie in January will be fun!

Some of the puns when we win a game

We’re on a good run though, nervy against Fulham in the second half tonight though, first half felt reasonably comfortable. Cracking strike from one of our youth players as well, no doubt he’ll be getting sold in January for a bit of money Fulham were really unlucky not to get an equaliser in the last couple of minutes as well, definitely take 4 wins on the bounce with how we started the year though!

[Robbo-92]

With our game tomorrow now cancelled we’ve had 4 games postponed due to COVID, feel like we’re going to have a rough month before the season is finished fixture wise. Teams really should be being made to play U23 players if they can’t field what they class as a first team, gets them some more game time and means games can go ahead.

[Rubix]

Well we are back to letting in injury time goals! Ref was shite and so were we! King should know better although I never liked him anyway. We didn’t take our chances in the first half and should have had a penalty.

Also Charlie Austin is a banana split

[Robbo-92]

At least you get to play

[DML]

We havent played in what feels like an eon now.

It's been postponed now.

EFL is handling this worse than the PL.

[Robbo-92]

Ok, I didn’t realise Middlesbrough had such a large outbreak of Covid, crap situation for them (and all teams affected by it) but the EFL really aren’t handling it well.

[Rex Kramer]

Have a gander at the organisation from the UK's top tier ice hockey league. They've been rearranging fixtures and opposition less than 5 hours before the games are supposed to start. My team (Nottingham Panthers) were supposed to play Coventry yesterday and today (home and away). The away leg today was swapped to Manchester a few days ago but it wasn't covid related. Then Coventry went into Covid protocol yesterday morning so they swapped Manchester in for that game as well. Its totally random.

[Rubix]

Forgot to say how much an improvement on our second half against Millwall was. Hope we keep it up but I feel some players are off soon.

Not sure which I prefer out of liquidation or being owned by Mike Ashley...

If he knows how to neck a pint then he can't be all bad oi oi lads on tour (to Fleetwood away, Cheltenham etc)

[Oblomov Boblomov]

Ouch. Three players gone already, others advised to speak to the administrators if they want to leave. A new transfer embargo in place.

Despite all the recent optimism, it seems somewhat likely the club will fold before the season is done. Pretty grim.

[KingK]

Ashley, or someone, will buy you OB. At the end of the day they’re just businessmen looking for the best deal for themselves. If that means they can buy the club for cheaper than current asking price they’ll be happy.

Your best hope is a fan wants to buy you I’d say as they will care about the team. A businessman like Ashley is just looking for their ROI.

I hope you survive. At least till next weekend anyway as I’d hate to miss our (final ever?) East Midlands Derby.

Srsly, whilst of course I hope you get relegated (cos let’s face it, all DCFC fans would wish the same on us if the shoe was on the other foot), I hope you survive and play next season. Just in League 1 though. We all need the rivalry and if Derby cease to exist, I don’t want poxy Foxes or Magpies fixtures to look forward to for our ‘biggest game of the season’.

Good luck.
