Completely destroys our one golden opportunity to rebuild with a squad and style fit for the modern game, which we ourselves helped trailblaze with our title win. Ten years ago.

We had one chance to get someone in who would prioritise pressing, fast transitions and fitness and instead decided to go for more of the same. We've already been left behind, this is just the bit where the zombies grab our leg as the rest of the cast disappear over the horizon line.

To be honest we should have prioritised that model and recruited into it immediately after the title win when we were still in the Premier League. It could have been our clear identity.

The problem with the slow, slow, possession type model is that it will always get destroyed by the best teams who just do it better and with better players. We saw in 15/16 that low block, fast transition, was so difficult to prepare for and play against when almost everyone else is playing a sort of facsimile of the Pep model 

I’m fed up with all the negativity on these pages. Give him a chance. 

I reckon he’ll keep us up! 

Oh come on - he isn’t that bad.

Perhaps he’s a bit cheesy, but “Livin’ La Vida Loca” and other tracks were at least a bit of fun and got people on the dance floor.

It could be worse and …. oh ….. Russell? …. nah….. we’re doomed!! 

Is it possible that we’ve reached the absolute bottom and today the curve has started to twitch in an upward direction?

He’s back up to Luke fvcking Thomas ffs!  

That one sentence alone sums up all you need to know about his ability

Pleased I will be watching LCFC in the Championship next season.

Just a shame that it will be Lincoln and not Leicester

Theres definetley positives. The fact that we were the better team and should of won is a positive in itself. For 3/4s of the season we’ve been consistently the worse team on the pitch. Two clean sheets in three when we went 30 games without one. A solid foundation is essential to getting results. We just need to convert our chances

Yep - and our striker options are Patson Daka and Jordan Ayew

I’d be tempted to bring Mukasa in for Mavididi and just let him roam.

 

Stiffy has been almost as useless as Ayew this season.

I still find him quite useful - even at my age 

To be honest I get a bit bored with the Daka v Ayew debate. 
 

It’s self evident that both are shite and that we should have planned for life after Vardy much better. Absolutely criminal negligence from the recruitment team to be left with these two. All this is a given.

This is where we are and choices still have to be made. I’d rather have Covid than Ebola Fever. For me Daka should always play as the team plays higher up the pitch when he is present. 
 

I don’t want to see Ayew play for us ever again. For months now I’d rather play Daka, change the system completely (false 9?), play somebody out of position as striker or, reluctantly, chuck one of the youth team players in. But not Ayew.

It might be a list of unsatisfactory options. We are in least worst territory but choices still have to be made and, for me, the outcome of those decisions would never be Ayew

This is the game for me if we lose, I think it’s curtains. 

Ayew?????

Still thought he was dreadful. Can't run and press and is not even up with play most of the time. Only 9 more games of him to suffer, assuming he'll play in every one of them, as per.

Contract extension incoming

I don't see why not.

 

Ultimately will make no odds whilst Top/Rudkin are running the show.

 

He's a good Championship manager which is where we will be.

You know what if we stay up. I think you might be right 

I always like to look through the comments in mid-December when I revisit this thread. It just shows how reactionary we are sometimes to brief upticks in form.

BDCR is what he is. A very average player and, considering we signed him in the Premier League, an incredibly poor signing

They looked hopeless at the back against Cov today. Got to be going for the jugular here.

Yes, unfortunately that’s not a phrase that’s usually associated with a squad that includes Daka, Ayew & BDCR

I don’t see any reason for your optimism

Ohh give your heads a wobble..... FFS 🙄🙄 He's going no where!!

I was assuming that this thread is a little “tongue in cheek”.

But give it a couple more weeks …:

I'm going to assume nothing has been lost in translation and immediately become a Turkish miner.

Yes. I did think that. Pretty good salary in the overall scheme of things
