Inept, pitiful, inadequate, spiritless, gutless, hopeless - frankly, one of the worst performances I have watched in years. And what made it worse is that I completely lost faith and switched over to see an equally dismal performance by England in the rugby.
Should Pearson go before the end of the season? Probably not - there seems little point. Will he guide Leicester to the play-offs? Definitely not, so I think he is living on borrowed time.
At one stage it looked like we almost had a team but many of us were saying "bring in some experience". But stubborn to the end, he went for youth and now we are in free-fall, the kids just don't know what to do.
I know it is unfair to pick on individuals but a number of them are so out of sorts, they need time out of the team to get their heads straight.
For all we are told about Keane's promise, his positional sense is lacking and his distribution is poor (reminds be a bit of Bamba!). Drinkwater lost the plot months ago and Wood looks either unfit or that he just doesn't want to be out there. Lloydy is just Dire!
As always (once in the right position) Nugent put in a shift, Schlupp showed some promise and Marshall did OK. Wes battled - both the sheep and his inner-demons, as he sees his boyhood club on course for the promised land.
What concerns me most of all is that this is supposed to be Nigel's team, they are supposed to like him and want to play for him. I saw little evidence of that yesterday.
Woeful

I totally agree with you, oh sorry, I thought thought you were talking about many of fans!

I'd get rid now during the international break which would givr the new manager 2 weeks with the players.
Someone till the end of the season would do for now, someone with good tactical awareness!

I don't mind you blind mindless support for Nigel or your equally blind hatred of Sven.
But criticizing FAN"S who pay to support there team long after NP pushing up the Daisies is out of order.
we pay the wages we can have our say right or wrong its just an opinion matey

And that's my opinion, maybe you have one about the "fans" yesterday singing a song about the children burnt to death by their own family in Derby?
Makes you proud to be loyal supporter.
PS who says I have blind support of NP, nothing about NP makes me give him blind support apart from the fact he's the most succesful manager we've had for a decade and he still has many faults.

On what do you base success ?
Clearly he got us out of Division 1, for which are all eternally grateful. But his career since then might suggest he has found his level.
If Leicester make the play-offs and perform reasonably well, then I will be proved wrong. If we finish in 7th or 8th, then they will have have under-performed and not truly progressed over the past three years.
This is not personal. But I do struggle to see how Pearson can make the necessary progression. He has brought a lot of good things to this club but unfortunately, he won't fulfil the owners ambitions.

On the basis that he has outperformed any manager in the last nine years we've had, has done and still is doing better than anyone wheter in the Championship or league 1.
