Pearson Replaced at Leicester
View attachment 312031

In the build up to the new season the Leicester City have parted company with Nigel Pearson, replacing him with unknown Gibraltan coach Owen Coker. The decision comes as a surprise to many foxes fans as Pearson, who lead the team to the Premier League, was rashly sacked. Coker will now be tasked with keeping the foxes in the Premier League by a demanding board.​
 
​Pre Season

Transfers

Peter Crouch
View attachment 312024
Signed from Stoke City for just £650K. He will add some much need Premier
League experience to the first team squad.

Stefan Strandberg
View attachment 312019
Another bargain. Great potential and signed for just £325K from
Rosenborg. Could prove to be a vital part of the team.

Martin Odegaard
View attachment 312018
Youngster signed from Stromsgodset. Joins at the start of January.
Has the potential to be a world class AM.

Generally good results in pre-season. One blip against LASK Linz but Wes Morgan
was sent off. Rotated the team alot throughout but almost everyone put in strong performances.

Good win in a match that was dominated by Sunderland.
MOTM: Schlupp

West Brom (Home)
View attachment 311954
Relieved we got the draw as we were once again dominated
but a game we need to be winning.
MOTM: Crouch

Newport County (Home)
View attachment 311952
A comfortable win from an almost fully rotated squad
in the Capital One Cup.
MOTM: Barmby


Arsenal (Away)
View attachment 311953
I wasn't expecting anything and set my team up on
defensive. Somehow we scored 3 on the counter and defended
well for the majority of the game. What a win.
MOTM: Crouch


Overall a great start to the season. Undefeated in our first 3 games
including an unforgettable victory at the Emirates. If we can continue
this form will we survive comfortably in the league.

Player of the Month: Peter Crouch
View attachment 311950

Scored an impressive 3 goals in 3 games.


Forgot to screenshot the league for this month but
will do in the future.

A great start to the season and a big result against Arsenal!

MOTM: Powell

West Ham (Away)

Disappointing result considering who we have already
beaten. It was coming though.
MOTM: Mahrez

Wigan (Away)
View attachment 311820
Wow. I made several changes and we went behind.
We dominated after our first and struck 8 past a strong
Wigan side
MOTM: Barmby

Southampton (Home)
View attachment 311819
Solid win. Our first clean sheet of the season.
MOTM: Knockaert

League Table

At this rate it won't be about battling relegation and more like
chasing a top half finish. However several big games coming up
in the next couple of months.


Player of the Month: Wes Morgan
View attachment 311817
Put in 3 solid performances in another strong month​
 
Great Start to the season mate, am a Leicester City Fan so will be following this!

Quite a few players brought in, did you sell any? because i find the Leicester squad is quite big on here and no one buys my unwanted players! haha.

Also can you show your tactic? As it seems to be working better than mine!
 
I also found it difficult offloading some players. I sold konchesky to Forest for a small fee. I released bakayogo but I currently have dean hammond and gary taylor-fletcher sitting in the reserves. I've tried to loan them but there are no takers. Now will a full squad of 25 i have several players becoming unhappy as they're no getting regular game time. Wasilewski and Vardy have requested to leave. I'm looking to give some more players game time before christmas.

Stoke City (Away)

​Comfortable win away from. Wood scoring before
going off injured. Thankfully it wasn't to bad.
MOTM: King

Manchester City (Home)
View attachment 311756
We've done it again. Somehow, against the odds
we beat the champions. Peter Crouch is proving to
be a great signing.
MOTM: Crouch

Liverpool (Away)
View attachment 311755
Another pleasing performance against a top side.
A solid defensive performance as the Reds rarely
challenged Schmeichel.
MOTM: De Laet

Tottenham (Home)
View attachment 311754
Having complained about his lack of starts, Ulloa
really proved a point. Neither team fielded their
best team but still a great win.
MOTM: Ulloa


Player of the Month: Andy King

Tough decision but Andy King put in consistent
performances throughout the month

Disappointing result against a fellow promoted
team. Especially after going two up.
MOTM: Ulloa

Newcastle (Away)
View attachment 311655
Another game thrown away. Malone missed a
late penalty to put us in front.
MOTM:Ulloa

Aston Villa (Home)
View attachment 311649
In my opinion, our best performance of the season.
Dominated from the off and could have scored 5 or 6.
MOTM: Barmby

Tottenham (Away)
View attachment 311642
A poor performance. Rarely tested Lloris in a dull
game.
MOTM: De Laet

League Table
View attachment 311302
We've retained our position at the top end of the table
for another month. Games against Man United and Chelsea
during the Xmas period will really put us to the test.

Player of the Month: Leonardo Ulloa

Scored some vital goals throughout the month

A comfortable home victory against relegation
threatened Palace.
MOTM: Ulloa

Hull City (Home)
View attachment 311323
Second home win in 3 days. Hull rarely threatened
but we threw away another clean sheet.
MOTM: Mahrez

Swansea City (Away)
View attachment 311322
Going to Swansea is always a tough ask but
3 goals on the break gave us the win.
MOTM: Schlupp

Nottingham Forest (Home)
View attachment 311320
A highly anticipated clash against one of our
biggest rivals. Tom Lawrence bagged two as we
battered 10-men Forest
MOTM: Lawrence

Chelsea (Home)
View attachment 311318
I hoped we could maybe get something from
this game but we were overrun but a strong
Chelsea side
MOTM: Mahrez

Everton (Away)
View attachment 311316
A good comeback against a top half Everton
team. Our first of 3 games in 7 days.
MOTM: Crouch

Manchester United (Home)
View attachment 311315
An admirable performance from my fatigued
team. However 8 goals conceded in two
home games is a worry.
MOTM: Mahrez

League Table:

At the half-way point of the season we sit comfortably
inside the top half. I may consider raising expectations
for extra cash in January.

Player of the Month: Riyad Mahrez
View attachment 311309
Performed superbly throughout December providing goals
and assists. Will be missed when he jets of to AFCON with
Algeria in January.​
