The fall of Steve Cooper - Leicester City’s Autumn surprise is the only logical decision

Insult and injury: A day to forget in the history of Leicester City
Curacao, a Dutch Caribbean island just off the northern coast of South America, has a population of roughly 150,000, which is similar to Ipswich. It doesn’t look much like Ipswich, but it has joined the Suffolk town in the story of Leicester City’s 2024/25 season.

Ten games in, what have we learnt: Stuck in the middle with Coops
With ten games gone, can you predict where Leicester City will finish based on these games?

The last time we focused on Patson Daka it was because of a pivotal miss in a huge game. It didn’t go on to cost us, but he continues to divide fans. Now he’s back from injury and with Leicester’s striker situation, are we re-entering the Patson paradox?

Let’s get going: Can Steve Cooper’s Leicester City start on the front foot?
We seem to be always chasing the game. We are reactive. It’s the opposition which ask the early questions. First halves seem to be some sort of preparation for the second half.
