Now being managed by Leicester hate figure Robbie Savage in his second game in charge.

Will be a feisty atmosphere, Peterborough are second bottom so really shouldn’t get anything and Savage will be winding up the fans, so if he goes there and beats them it should get lively. 

Smallbone not yet ready but sounds like he’s not far off.

Nonsense. When you look at it this way then, really, they’re comfortably winning.

[Midfield_General]

Wide open at the back, done on the break. 

No-one could have seen that coming.

0-2

Leicester are getting battered down the wings

Peterborough are 23rd. First time this season they've scored against anyone in the first half.

Trust the process.

Sorry Leicester fans but it's difficult not to laugh.

Blimey.

[CB Fry]

Leicester absolutely dominating though 68%. A superb team drilled by one of the very best managers in the business. 

[Midfield_General]

Wow

[AlexLaw76]

Good news though, they can add 11 more shots to the 135 discussed 

[Stripey McStripe Shirt]

Gutted. 

He's gone, surely.

[AlexLaw76]

makes that 12.....

[Winnersaint]

Russ weaving his magic again. Posh 3-0 up at King Power. Hilarious.

Funnier still that i doubt they can afford to sack him.

They can still turn it around, only if they trust the process.
 

 

143 shots and counting

Peterborough see themselves as local rivals. He will be gone by Monday

At least someone gets it!

[Harry_SFC]

Can't say I'm surprised. Generally he's failed at the majority of the clubs he's managed. 

His best season was our Championship one and even then we should've done better than we did. 

His tactics don't work, it's as simple as that. 

[Midfield_General]

HT: 68% possession. 318 passes vs. 189. 

0-3 down and getting schooled by Robbie Savage.

Peterborough fans giving it the ole's... when Leicester make a successful pass. That's how bad they've been. 

Leicester fans who haven't walked out have gone toxic.

The fools just don’t understand. What more does Russ have to do?

[die Mannyschaft]

0-3 but the stats on possession and passing are excellent 

[Maggie May]

22/1 for Leicester to win - tempted.

Oh dear!

My wife just asked me why I belly laughed uncontrollably.

Explaining it was the half time result for a league 1 game needed a little effort.

I think today might be the last time we see Russell. He can't survive this surely

The comeback is on. 4-3 final score all day. Great entertainment. Martin the genius.

[LiberalCommunist]

Won't they just put him out of his misery. There is no way back. There is no goodwill. Its just unpleasant now. 

[Winnersaint]

It’s a measure of his managerial ability that he couldn’t get that 2023/2024 team promoted automatically.

[St. Ciervo]

[Midfield_General]

Talksport reporting that they are hearing his job is in danger if they lose this. 

5 minutes to go, 1-3 down.

Can you get a release clause that kicks in, if the manager goes? Even if that's before you kick a ball for that club.

[SaintsBarry74]

Leicester alone accounts for 1/4th of the League One wage bill.

Shit, shit manager.

[Midfield_General]

70% possession. 644 passes vs. 263. 4 shots on target. 

Final score: 1-3. 

And let's not forget just what an appalling side Peterborough are. They were 23rd in League One, and they were away. 

Not sure what's more ridiculous, Martin's coaching or Savage's trousers.
