Why do you even subscribe now?! Questioning Maresca is fair enough but I seem to remember them spouting some absolute nonsense about us when they were posted on here. In the age of social media, YT, podcasts etc, we're lucky to get access to so many decent alternative 'news' outlets but even then only about 1/10 of them that gain any traction, is actually made up of credible people. These guys might have a decent following but clearly their opinions are so ill informed that they've absolutely fluked their way to some success

The following season; 20/21... Not as good as the season before but still a quality player just disrupted by injuries.

Needs to be done ASAP, even if the wider plans come a bit later. The fact this was done before the training ground was crazy. Might not bring in tonnes of extra cash but it will help, especially if those now able to attend are people who don't go often or even tourists () because they'll have a higher propensity to spend in the club shop etc, so that really could ramp up income. More sponsorship at the ground too and a reputational thing that makes the club more attractive. The full site could then start to bring in some really decent money. Sadly, this is another example of KP getting it wrong with growing the financial future of the club.

Schlupp's goal at the weekend was an absolute screamer. Had a very good career. Ridiculous that he's performed at PL level playing left back, left wing, centre mid and number 10 for somebody with no football intelligence!
-
Think this is an even bigger myth . Was quality for 2 seasons, then had a poor one. When he came back in last year he was head and shoulders above everyone else (not hard!). Something's gone on behind the scenes with him as you don't go from Bundesliga and PL team of the year to being awful in your mind twenties.

And they deserve some respect. A few hundred or 1000 people turning up is hardly going to make them feel great. Let them lap it up at the KP (if we do it).

Strange as they're opposites but both very true

As I kid growing up in the 90's I loved that Leeds side full of young, English players so I've never had quite the same hate for them as many do. But the last few months has been pretty tedious as it's been such a Leeds love fest to the point that I'm now so desperate for Ipswich to go up and anyone else to pip them, I think I'd probably enjoy that more than us going up! Sad, but this promotion has been about necessity since day 1 and that's only become more stark in recent weeks. As has been said, nice that we have shown a little bottle in the past few weeks after such a terrible run. Hope Tuesday was the turning point for Enzo and this team in terms of flexibility as if so, things have a chance of aligning for us.

Development/Youth Squads 2023/2024 Thread - U18/U21
dmayne7 replied to Ryy's topic in Leicester City Forum
Maybe but our record for loaning out and developing young players is abysmal. If you get more than a couple of games for the first team, you're probably going to be here for a long while but we never really give our young players a chance on a wider scale. -
Development/Youth Squads 2023/2024 Thread - U18/U21
dmayne7 replied to Ryy's topic in Leicester City Forum
Another one so poorly managed. Looked lively if very raw when played in pre season a few years back then we never saw him. And last year he was banging them in at the start of the under 21 season and never got a sniff, despite us having no options out wide (realise he was playing up top). Might not have cut it but the fact he's never been given any chance, even on loan is awful -
Classic Vardy. Every time you think he's looking past it, he turns his form around. The reality is, we've probably needed to shift him on for a couple of years to give somebody else a chance to develop and a a couple of months ago, that would definitely have been the right decision. But given Daka's renaissance is over and Cannon barely featuring, on top of the financial issues, I think we have to keep him for another year (hopefully on significantly lower wages)
-
Get it done ASAP. Not going be any massive celebrations given what the general situation of the club and the much larger successes in recent times
-
An what about everyone else in this thread who said the same things
-
Jesus, look what happens when you actually press the ball and when you realise that possession isn't the be all and end all
-
Winks and Fatawu off now. Don't want them getting injured
-
Jesus haha
-
What a goal. Fantastic build up, brilliant finish and top tier decision making from Fatawu
-
Jesus, we're actually pressing and look what happens
-
Dreadful start to the half. Don't look bothered at all
-
Wrong thread
-
Started the game really well but he's got the 50p boots on
-
This is too easy for us and it's showing in our approach to the game. Need a bit more intensity as we've played pretty well just very lethargic since the goal

Stop the LCFC Loyalty Tax - UFS statement
dmayne7 replied to Union FS's topic in Leicester City Forum
I've been super critical of FT but they absolutely couldn't release a statement like this. It would kill what ever link they have with the club. They could do with following the much more assertive tone here but some of the wording is pretty aggressive so that wouldn't do them any favours. Not saying this statement is wrong, just highlighting the realities of the situation. FT have to do better for sure. -
Well he obviously wasn't where he should have been otherwise he wouldn't need to be on the line! Not his fault though as others have pointed out, it was such an obvious weakness that Enzo did nothing to sort out despite Johnston absolutely destroying us in that first half. Hamza was just doing his job and staying central but thank god he had the desire to get back and block though shots though
-
He wasn't amazing but it was still a cut above what Faes has been doing. Not to mention the leadership qualities (you could actually hear him so that's not an assumption on my part). Even the way he spoke after the game; he's wired differently from most of them, I'm a good way!
