Another 90th minute equaliser ! Aaaaaaargh !!!!

Fanny Fanackapan

Leicester 1-0 up at home to Brum tonight.

Zigic equalised in 61st minute, before Schlupp put the home side in front again with 15 mins left.

Defeat for Birmingham would keep them a point below us having played 1 game more until tomorrow. Ahhhh! ( happy sigh)

89 minutes up....putting kettle on ( NOT a good look)

90 minutes....SH*T !!!!!! Bl**dy pen to Brum , duly put away by Burke ( who else ? ) and that "safe & more relaxed feeling" disappears once again ....

What is it with late late goals in this division ??????

Callumcafc

Still below us on GD. We stay in the division's top half for another 19 hours at least! :-)

Athletico Charlton

Just how shite are Leicester. Still last minute goal for Brum is great for our play off aspirations

Kermy

Schlupp and Nugent were awful tonight even with the former scoring a goal. They had so many chances and just got it wrong far too often. Pearson can't last much longer

It makes you wonder what could be happening in the Leicester dressing room?

A lynching ?

Pearson is a glum fooker at the best of times, must transmit to the players a bit.

I'd say it is a good result. Birmingham had a chance to overtake us and they didn't manage it.

Fair enough but surely that result puts another nail in Pearson's coffin .....and the owners might be casting their net further down the Championship.

Maybe I'm deluding myself, but I think it'd take a special offer to make CP leave Charlton. It'd at least have to be a Premier League job. We all know he loves us as much as we love him and he wants to fix us. Can't see him leaving for a another Championship club at the moment. I'd also like to think he has more class than to be seen profiting from a friends failure/misfortune.

I know. The voice of reason, EA.

I'm having a bad week and seem to be stressing about EVERYTHING !

I agree. And I don't think CP is the kind of man to walk out of a job left only half done either. Getting us out of League One was impressive but creating a truly established Champ team (as opposed to one that views simple survival as success*) would add a lot to that CV.


*This is not a dig at CP, he's done wonders with what he's got. But there's going to need a fresh impetus from someone, somewhere if next season is going to see a genuine move towards the top of the table consistently.

Brum have picked up the last few months thought they might go down. They have big problems in regards to money and next season they don't benefit from parachute payments

I would find it very hard to take it quietly if SCP left

I can't remember there being such a small minority of people wishing a manager to go since curbs

It's only those who fail to grasp the concept of just what a remarkable job he has done to start to rebuild the club from its knees

From what I can gather he has not just the respect In The dressing room but the total trust And commitment from every single player that is still in this club and that there are no whispers and cliques that normally exist

He runs a tight tough ship with discipline and control he is studious and plans for everything


Now from the outside you can question some decisions that he has made it he has made them decisions after careful consideration an if he got them wrong then fair enough he got them wrong he has to learn from that

But he is the best man for the job and he is the best man there has been in years for the job

This is not based solely on football results this is based on what this club needed and still needs a guardian of the fabric of what this club was based upon

Nicely put, NLA.

Happy Valley

NLA - you have summed it up perfectly. We don't want SCP to go anywhere.
