Daka is physically weak, gets pushed off the ball easily and has a poor first touch. But right now, and I surprise myself saying this, he looks easily our best option up top. We’ve been kicking the forward problem ‘can’ down the road for a long time, now. Daka’s contribution to the goal was good. Whereas Nacho’s entire cameo was absolutely pathetic.

His ‘blips’ with the ball are becoming a regular feature.

That was the most average performance imaginable. Totally dull for most of the game. But even so, 12% of people think the manager of the team double-digits clear at the top should leave?! Wow! 😳

Nacho has made Daka look good 🥴

Broadhead is a tricky customer. Wish he was in our squad.

Hamza for KDH. We need energy.

Like the look of this lad. Two-footed, good first touch, eye for goal, can shoot off either foot and likes to dribble. 😍😍

They also had a string of chintzy hits in the 70s. Amazed they had time to play footie as well.

Snap.

So. As a massive Daka-doubter, (and someone who’s been managing an end of life friendship all week and hasn’t seen a moment of today's game), was he really good or is this the usual FT knee-jerk bollox the moment anyone does anything half-decent? I’m a city fan, desperate for my club to be successful. I’ll happily eat any amount of humble-pie if required. But I’m not quite ready to tuck in on the back of a home win against bottom of the league Rotherham. Those who actually aren’t fan-boys AND saw the game, whaddya reckon? A decent striker reborn? Or another false dawn???

Getting his wage off the books asap has to be a good thing, given the contribution he offers us in return.

Have been away all week and won’t get to see the recording until Thursday, but sounds like the slightly more attacking & positive, forward-looking performance many of us have been crying out for? Fabulous. Long may it continue.

14 wins from 25 remaining matches probably ensures promotion. That means our win ratio can drop from 81% to 56%and we’ll be okay. Wow 😳

Broadhead is a super little player. Hirst dropping deep into the hole causes problems. We’ll need to think who goes to pick him up. Jannik will never get back if he goes! 🥴

Ipswich are good. They attack with passion, pace and numbers. I’d be seriously tempted to play Hamza over Ricky for this game as I think we’ll be doing more defending and chasing back than we have in any other game so far.

That's the one!!!

KDH looked totally spent when he came off last night. Definite rest, if possible. Also, if Albrighton is fit, I'd give Mavididi a breather, too.

There are two in Leicester now - virtually opposite each other. There's Kayal, which is fab - but won't have much on the menu that people will be familiar with, so leave plenty of time for reading it! Then there's the one opposite, which I think is called Kayal Green - which is veggie only. Haven't been to that one yet.

If we take 4 points from next two, we’ll reach the halfway mark on 56. If 93 is the threshold, we’d need 37 more points…… that’s 12 wins , (ish), from last 23 games ….. that means we could almost get away with losing every other game and still go up! 😳😳😳

Has anyone put a shout in for Kayal, yet? One in Leicester is very good; the one in Nottingham is excellent.

We’re 11 points clear of third, and that’s amazing. So any frustration has to be tempered against that, but I thought we saw elements of us at our best and our worst tonight. The first 30 minutes I wanted to poke my eyes out. Slow, cautious, turgid and lacking energy and creativity. Most of the second half, we were a great mix of control with intentionality. Players looking to go forward rather than backwards. Wilf personified the night - his positions were great; his finishing woeful. 😂. There is only one goal this season and we are on track to achieve it. Results are what matters, so we march on.

Left-field comment, but did anyone else think the pitch seemed to cut up really badly? Over-watered? Not helpful to a passing team.

Why can’t we start with this wise of urgency? Thank god we’ve found it now.

Our style is such hard work. The results may be fun, but the watching is blooming hideous.

Maybe that’s why he’s selected Ward ……..
