I was worried about Shakey getting the job in the summer as he is from the old school and unfortunately riddled with sentiment. He also appears to be negative. I was of the opinion of a fresh set of manager/coaches etc would be best as we need new ideas and direction. Shakey is still in caretaker mode, preparing the XI, getting them well drilled and off they go. But basically we are still playing Claudios tactics, however the players are two years older and we have not got the world class CM we had in Kante. We are being left behind big time. The next six games are huge. I hope come November I am on here rejoicing about our winning streak and Shakey is a hero, but I fear that may not happen. 12 games is all I would give him. He certainly doesn't deserve any longer if we are still forth bottom or worse. Claudio only got until Feb and he had won the league the previous season! Please change our tactics Craig! Your job depends on it, especially away from home. We need to retain the ball for more than the 30% we seem to do. 3 in the middle please and 3 central defenders.

He needs to start in some capacity. Assuming 4-4-2, I would rest Albrighton this time. It does mean a hell of a lot of work for the two in the middle, but attack is the best form of defence.

Said it before, but loan out to a championship club for first half of season. If he starts tearing it up we know we have a player on our hands and get him involved after Jan!

He must be first choice first league game next season in my opinion. I would expect Fuchs to lose another half yard of pace over the summer. If it doesn't work, then we have Fuchs as a dependable back up.

I would move on in the summer unfortunately. I would expect a new CM in and CB making him redundant. Sad but true in my opinion.

Barnes for me should be one of our 5 central midfield options next season. I would maybe loan out to championship for first half of next season for his development.

I think Lawrence may have a future with us, especially as Mahrez may go.

Noticed Gary not shedding any tears now over Claudio leaving. Would he be content with seeing us left cut a drift in the relegation zone if Claudio was still in charge today? Gary can plan the building of his statue now with a more than fair chance that we will not be going to Burton away next season. Do us a favour Gary, go back to squeaky clean, your outspoken, band waggon jumping, twitter loving approach doesn't suit!
