Typical overreaction to the result and Southampton form on here. Another day we win convincingly. Southampton on there god like run of 20 games unbeaten run have taken 3 more points then us.

You do realise in the last 10 games we 1 less point than Southampton who everyone are gushing over.

Charity bet they don't?

Because his carry a knock.

Problem is we are short of fit players Kasey, Akgun, Praet, Vardy all lack match fitness.

Bell end....

People love to be negative.

More dead wood gone

Very over used term, I'd definitely say those 3!

His 28, he will be 31 at the end of his contract. We simple don't need to give him more than what we have planned.

Or just a realisation that we can't keep spending when we have the likes of Soumare, Ward, Thomas, Soutter, Kristiansen, Iversen, Praet on the books most of which are still consuming wages. We will know more when we see last season account, keeping in mind we sold Fofana and snicked Maddison into those account 110m ish of sales I'd be surprised if we didn't break even at at least. Our wage bill and transfer amortisation will have been massive reduce by summer. We lose another big chuck of PL standard wages in the likes of Vesterguard, Vardy, Nacho, Praet, Ndidi and Albrighton. Faes and Daka would be also sellable assets. If we are introuble over FFP when we have sold Fofana, Maddison, Barnes and Castnage for a collective 150m over two season we are in real trouble.

Not sure we need another CB unless someone is leaving.

Doubt he plays JJ in Ricardo role. Simply not good enough on the ball. The only other person to play it has been Hamza.

Don't think you start was to bad in a normal season just us and Ipswich got off to a flyer.

1 game all season and that was in the first week of December hardly preparation for playing 2nd in the league.

They haven't even had minutes for the Under 21 so highly unlikely.

I suspect we may see someone on loan.

Always felt he took Rodgers treatment of Ünder badly, was the start of the end of their relationship as player and coach.

Why you worried about Leeds not a chance they are catching us.

I add to that he pass the physicality, decent height, good pace and can run all day. At 22 that's still all coachable and mainly down to inexperience in my view. When KDH went out on loan at similar age you would have thought he could develop in a PL player.

I don't think they would pay the money we would want with 3 years left on his contract.

Win tomorrow and Southampton would have to out perform us by 0.55 point per game for the rest of the season to catch us. Even if we lose its 0.38 point per game. Keep in mind in their unbeaten 20 game run they have pick up 48 points at 2.4 points per game. In the same period but it 19 games we have taken 44 points at 2.31 points per game, so they have only out perform us by 0.09 per game. If that continued it would take them 111 games to make up 10 points. So if we lose Monday they have made up 4 points in 20 games, win they have made up 1, draw they have made up 3. If you break the season down in to 5 game chucks of form. Games 1 to 5 = 12 pts @ 2.4 pts per game. Games 6 to 10 = 15 pts @ 3 pts Games 11 to 15 = 12 pts @ 2.4 pts Games 16 to 20 = 10 pts @ 2 pts Games 21 to 25 = 13 pts @ 2.6 pts Even if we manage to match our worse 5 game chuck of form for the rest of the season we will take 38 points we would finish with 103 pts. Southampton would need to take 45 points from 18 games at 2.5 points per game to catch us. So would Ipswich, Leeds would need 52 at 2.73. If we hit our overall form for the rest of the season 2.4, Southampton would need 2.88 points per game.

People worrying about being caught win Monday an we will have still taken the most point in the last 10 and will have took 1 more point than the Saints. Even if we lose we will only have taken 2 point less in the last 10 then the Saints.

It's nothing to do with squad places, it's purely finances.

Based on what exactly?
