Question to Nathan Jones at yesterday’s press conference: ‘Leicester City, Premier League champions not that long ago, heading to The Valley on Saturday. There seems a little unrest from Foxes fans over the way their club is being run. How do you assess the challenge?’
Jones: “They are a stern test. They were playing Premier
League football last season. They have got Premier League footballers and
individuals who can hurt you at any time.
“We can’t concern ourselves with what is going on at
Leicester. We just have to prepare Charlton. If we are the best versions of
ourselves then that is all we can ask. We are very proud of our best version,
so that is all we can do.
“Whatever else happens, happens. They are a fantastic club
and one of the favourites to go back up.
“We will be saying this week in and week out, there is not
one of the 46 games when we do a press conference where you are going: ‘Well,
this should be an easy one tomorrow or Saturday’. That won’t happen at this
level. There aren’t any gimmes at Championship level. It is probably the most
relentless league.”
Four Four Two says: ''The Foxes' managerial change was slow and a possible points deduction is looming, but enough quality remains for a play-off push. Monga - who was six when Leicester won the title - is a prodigous talent.' [He made his debut as a Premier League player aged 15 in April].
The fan forecast a 2nd place finish: 'I won't be happy unless we bounce straight back. Promotion is essential.'' He names the key player as Abdu Fotowu, who destroyed the Championship in his first season but missed most of the last campaign through injury.' He also thinks the club needs a reliable centre back.
CAS Trust reminds us that we have a good record at The Valley against the Foxes: https://www.castrust.org/2025/08/leicester-city-overpriced-and-overpaid/
