    Depends.

    If you get a new manager and make some signings then we'll definitely beat you.

    If you don't get a manager and maybe lose one or two players without replacing them then you'll definitely beat us.


    It's the Leicester way.

    I think I'd prefer Coleman. He came across well when interviewed at the Euro's and the players really wanted to play well for him, that was the key for me.

    Anything can happen in a one off game, my annoyance under Bruce is it felt like players had little belief we could anything from the on paper tougher games. If other teams think we are a pushover and play like that that gives us more of a chance. The main thing is to be tight and keep some possession of the ball, and certainly not to concede an early goal which seemed to always happen before.

    Current circumstances tell me we need a manager who is good at motivating an average team in a very good league. Right now our priority has to stay in the premier league,anything else is pie in the sky Imo because as we have seen before,the Prem has three mini leagues in it and we are in that bottom slot right now.

    The way it stands our team will be a mix of first team players and U21s.

    We'll be lucky to keep the score respectable.

    Really? Gary Speed died nearly 5 years ago.

    I don't think so, from what I remember. Not that hitting the post gets you goals normally anyway.

    Sort of what I think. Not because it's the Leicester way, but these sort of things always seem to happen.

    And even if we don't concede an early goal we concede a later goal.
    Teams who break with speed seem to do better.

    Does it get you half a goal?
    What about if you hit the inside of the post and the ball then goes in the goal?

    No, that's hitting the net. It's just been an annoyance of mine for over 30 years when people say they are unlucky for hitting the bar or post.

    Not if it's kicked away just after it went over the line.
    Or the goalkeeper makes a brilliant save. Players are never unlucky - they either score and are heroes or are missers.

    You can frustrate teams if they don't score quickly.

    Also it was a powderpuff shot from Diame right at the goalkeeper when he went past those players v Forest.

    Can't we keep this in the manager thread? The boards pretty active as it is.
