Ok, so I'll admit that I'm probably the most knee jerk person EVER but I've been looking at things as a whole and have come up with the following...
A: Overall, as a club, we are in a better position than we were last season or the season before.
B: The squad in general is very good although we could do with a few more to add a bit more depth and definitely experience.
C: If we manage to stay in the top 6, I'd much rather have a dip in form now and come good for the play offs.
D: No matter what I think of Pearson, we are a top 6 side which I'm sure we'd all have been happy with at the start of the season.
E: We've still every chance of going up this season although I'd expect us to come straight back down. The only plus in that is we'd get a parachute payment which would make us financially stronger.
So, lets hang in there and see what happens.
This is Leicester City after all, and when have we ever done things the easy way?!
The Bigger Picture

Difficult to be positive at the moment but I hang in there and hope someone sorts it out.
It's been an awful February and March so far.
My days after a match are ruined.
I hope The rest of the year gets better !

Wouldn't really argue with any of that good sense, Spoonster, save that I no longer believe that we have "every chance" of going up this season - a chance, but only now a slender one. And if the present dip in form continues for very much longer at all, we won't make the play offs anyway.
Nor am I sure that going up this season only to come straight back down, notwithstanding the parachute payment, would be good psychologically. Getting murdered weekly is not good for anyone's confidence. I'd rather we went up after dominating the Championship à la Cardiff/Reading/etc ...provided our owners can wait that long.
But of course if we do squeeze into the play-off this season, I shall be as manic about it, and as crushed if we fail, as anyone else....

we are in the doldromes becalmed in a sea of mediocrity i could not see this coming in January and if the captain can get the wind back in our sails.

I'll take a trip to Wembley although at this rate with how the league stands, it'll be Florest in the final.

Spoon youv changed your tune.If as i expect ,we dont win on tues then NP will be gone by the end of the week,and quite deservedly so.
We got lucky in Jan other teams have now sussed us and we are not up to it.
As far as i can see ,if NP stays then the season is over.Lets just wait and see what the owners think.

Well I shouldn't post things straight after a match admittedly.
I'd be happy with a point on Tuesday but can't see us winning.

GOALS..........we have 2 or 3 quality strikers (championship) but have stopped scoring.
One goal more in each of the previous 6 games would give us 10 more points.

Nice to hear some balanced opinion from you Spoon, fair play to you mate.
Same usual dross from Thorney though, according to him we are awful when we lose and lucky when we win, dear me!!!!! We've had a **** load of luck this season then as we are sitting in 5th place with only 10 games to go!! WOW lmao.
