Back to basics at last!

All season City fans have been calling for a change in approach:


1) A simple 4-4-2 system where every player knows his role.
2) Some width! Less pretty triangles in midfield and an outlet like Dyer to get the ball to.
3) A more direct approach. If you don't get the ball in the box, you can't score goals.
4) Backing the midfielders who secured us a play-off place just two seasons ago.
5) Closing the opposition down and playing with a bit of intensity.
6) Getting the best out of Gallacher and King.
7) Passion on the touchline, not an arms folded passivity.


7/7 Nigel. Welcome back - we missed you!

New City manager will have his work cut out!

Plenty of names have been banded around as potential new managers of Leicester. One thing is for certain - whoever gets the job has their work cut out. Indeed, Leicester have spent about £10 million on new players but there are many issues that need to be resolved if City are to find some consistency. It's easy to forget that City are 9 points off the relegation zone as well as 9 points off the automatic places! I am not saying that they will get relegated, but fans mustn't assume that they will find their way into the play-offs. Let's not forget, in the season that we finished 5th under Pearson, we lost 4 home games all season. We lost our fourth home game of this season, today, in the early stages of November!
Here are the key issues that need to be addressed:

1) The lack of width - how can we have spent so much money and not have any natural wide players (other than Dyer?!)
2) How to get the best out of Beckford. Howard's presence in the team is credit to him but shows how little impact Beckford has made since his arrival.
3) The surplus of central midfield players - King/Wellens/Danns/Abe/Johnson/Fernandes. Why did Sven acquire so many?
4) The Bamba/Mills partnership - it's improving but Mills still looks shaky in my view.

Who's the best man to resolve all of these issues? My vote goes to Nigel...
