So we're 2-0 up, playing about as well as we can. The opposition is having a reasonable game but is unable to score.
Then we let in a goal and the fragility of our commitment and shallowness of our confidence kicks in and we could have lost by more.
In my view, the players have no confidence in the passing style the manager wants because in their heart of hearts they know that either they or their teammates lack the skill, fitness or concentration to maintain it. Unfortunately they also know that going to a more basic style risks a dressing room row and probably no first team bonuses for a few weeks.
The manager is culpable for this.
Either he plays to strengths - say passing style for an hour and then a defensive style, or he finds one tactic that can last 90 minutes.
Presently he is confusing the players and imposing an unsustainable system on players who don't have the ability and lack the confidence and therefore the commitment.
This manager has had had a long time to get this right and has still not achieved it.
I have no faith that the ownership wishes to see him gone or is perhaps unable to see him off. The manager says he is is dedicated to his style (don't mistake that for pig headed stubbornness).
So as fans we can look forward to more last 30 minute collapses in what is turning out to be a seasin in which we set all the wrong records. |  | | |  |

It’s gone beyond hoping he will change. He has already said he won’t. He
He has to go. We will not win a single league game while he is in charge. Not one. | | | |

At some point, even for Sports Republic, the results will force RM's departure. | |

We seem to be good as a club Grim at creating unwanted records so it sadly won't surprise me (as things are currently going) if we are the first club without a win in the league or finish less than the infamous 9 points that Derby Co achieved. | | | |

Infamous, but infamously wrong. Derby had 11 points in 2007-8 and that is the record low. | | | |

Saturday was also the first time Leicester have won a game after being 2-0 down in their Prem League history (not sure if that is H&A or just away though) so anothr record [Post edited 21 Oct 12:26]

How many games did Derby win that season.
With RM in charge I just cannot envisage us getting more points than Derby did.
I really do hope I'm wrong. | | | |

We seem to enjoy creating records with Leicester. | | | |

Thanks for spotting my deliberate mistake ifonly! 
Makes it even more probable that we will break that record! | | | |

What's the record for the earlier time in a season a team is mathematically relegated? | | | |

It's Derby again: 29th March in the same season, after 32 games. | | | |

That's PL btw, don't know about other leagues.
We'd have to really pull out all the stops to beat that record as we'll have 9 matches left at the end of March, whereas Derby only had 6 matches left. So, we'd probably need to be 28 points behind the team in 17th after 29 games - more or less a point a game. But it's possible. Say that Everton are the team in 17th. We're now 7 points behind them after 8 games. | | | |

I reckon we’ll have a run of victories and will have turned the corner……after relegation has become a mathematical certainty.
It’s how we roll. | | | |

I very much doubt that! Say we are relegated after the first fixtures in April with 7 games left. Those last 7 fixtures don't look like a run of wins to me. They include Man City, Arsenal, Spurs and Villa. We've had our easy run of fixtures, the end of the season is much more difficult. | | | |

Ah well . Past worrying about it really.
No easy games in the Prem league…..who said that ? | | | |

Derby won 1 game that season. Game 6 at home to Newcastle.
They got 5 points from their first 8 games. And 6 draws and 6 points from their remaining 30.
By this stage of the season then, their only win was behind them! | |

So after 8 games Derby had done much better than we have. | | | |
