This is the dice he has to roll, though. Stick or twist. There's no guarantee either way, we may get promoted playing the Senior pros, we may not. Similarly, blooding youngsters could pay dividends, but also has huge risk factors. It's a tricky dilemma and I understand why Marti has used seasoned professionals to get us off to a steady, if somewhat uninspiring start. I'm hoping to see more integration of our talented youth players as the season progresses.

Didn't think he had much chance with the goal last night IMO. The flip side is that he gained us 3 points at Charlton.

I would actually give Daka a run of games. Even if he's unlikely score loads of goals (if any), we've looked more of an attacking threat when he's had minutes as he seems to be able to create space for the midfield with his pressing and running into space.

I didn't say you shouldn't follow the club, I was suggesting that if you were sick of the club, you don't have to follow them. I too think the club is poorly run, but not playing Nelson is the manager's decision and he sees the players on a daily basis. At the moment, I'll trust his judgement.

Be nice to support a new manager though, rather than being critical of every decision. We're half a dozen games into a new season, with a new manager who is having to pick up the pieces from last year. It just makes me laugh that some people who watch the game from the stands, at best, have a better insight on what our starting XI should be rather than the coaches and manager who works with them all week. We've all got Leicester in our blood, but I'm never sick of them.

It's not enforceable that you have to follow them.

If we are top of the table come January and Winks and Faes had been an integral part of getting us there, would you still sell for a small fee or keep in the hope they would help get us promoted, but leave on a free transfer?

Cup tied I think - played for us v Huddersfield

Think Marti is doing really well. Inherited a squad that was low on confidence and morale, players who didn't want to be here and very little money to spend on a rebuild. Added to this, he's trying to adopt a style of play that is different from the two clowns that led us last year. Give it a dozen games and I think we'll see a team going from strength to strength.

Slightly odd ball, but I'm going Stol Ricardo Vestergaard Faes Kristiansen Winks James Fatawu Ayew Mavadidi Carrenza Would have Ramsey, rather than Ayew at 10 if available

The poster you agreed with was referring to our first 5 league games I believe, of which you replied 4 of the 5 struggling teams we've played, so I assumed you meant in the league - Huddersfield was a second string team in the cup.

Can't remember his debut, but did Ryan McGiven have any good games for us?

Which three league games have we conceded 2 goals?

A Coventry team that has also drawn with Oxford with eleven men, as well as drawing with Norwich (with a very very late equaliser) and Hull. Yep they had an amazing first 2 games when everyone is bedding in. Put the right team out and we are better than these.

He's easing Ricardo back in - we don't want him crocked again because he's not fully ready yet. With Skipp and Soumare, these were the only real options whilst Winks was sulking. I fully expect to see, Winks, Ricardo and James play far more over the coming months.

There are some impatient fvckers on here. Rome wasn't built in a day. So as mentioned, both Nelson and Page weren't selected as a precaution. Making too many changes to the team , after a great win against Birmingham, would have been strange. New arrivals haven't really had much time together working with their team mates. Monga is 16, been away on international duty and for me it was sensible not bringing him on. I've every confidence that Marti will start to select our strongest XI, which will include Ricardo, Winks and James.

If and when he's selected again, I hope he's shows the desire to perform to the best of his ability, then I think as supporters, we should show encouragement towards him. It's likely to be a difficult period in our history financially, so if we can all stick together and have a mentality that is strong on the pitch and in the stands, hopefully this will help the club and team move forward.

Surprised no one has opted for Lineker, ability wise he was excellent, although his best years were at other clubs I suppose.

How does this work? If we've submitted our 25 man squad, getting in more free agents won't help will it or am I missing something?

Don't think you remembered that well - Lineker's main assets were his pace to get ahead of his marker and then his finishing.

Jesus, those would be a long daily commute from London

So Winks should be gone tomorrow then?

Wouldn't a loan fee of £5m and wages say £2m, gives us £7m to spend, which would equate to £28m on 4 year deals?

If sold for £25m, what profit are we making? £4m? So if the loan fee is £5m and his wages £2m, then the profit is £7m for this year. If we sell for £22m next year, that's abetter deal than a straight £25m sale isn't it?

I agree and perhaps the atmosphere is generated by the players giving it a go. Whilst I think Choudhury is a limited player, I thought, first half particularly, he made some very strong challenges that got the supporters engaged. This commitment and physicality often lifts the crowd and then this translates back to the players. I don't expect things to be perfect 4 games in under a new manager trying to play a different style, but I can accept that, if I see commitment, passion and energy from those on the pitch.
