...I still believe what Vardy was doing was right and the players around him were not on his wavelength!!! Vardy thinking this game was not for him at this new level, was not down to any shortcomings and so it proved. Even now you get Vardy out wide and he will supply a better service into the box than any of our players, if he had himself supplying, he would have scored another 50% more. Vardy still wants to press, he is an intelligent footballer and understands being the first line of defence. It is remarkable that after all he has achieved, upon being asked to press a defender, Barnes should choose to sheepishly walk away being more afraid of what the manager would say, as opposed to learning from one of the best.

...going by the caption on the video, those were his stats!!! Looking at TM: Played - 30 Scored - 5 Assists - 4 Minutes - 1355

...they are 2 players in a team of 11, hard to influence a game when your teammates are constantly under the pump!!!

...I used to look forward to watching the U23s which then became U21s on a regular basis on the LCFC app!!! Now with the FA directive, it is unlikely we have a broadcasted game to watch ever again.

...we are just not preparing these players for the potential of going up another level!!! Why we are not attempting to play like the first team, a chance to gain some understanding of what is required in each individual role. It is all very well to play the role, but is there an understanding of what is being asked of you and how it relates to the other players around you? It has previously been posted that the club knows who they have high hopes for and the rest are just water carriers, well we need to stop that way of thinking and make every player just as important as the player at the side of him. The thought that Rudkin has upped his ideas is just not right, he needs to relinquish control of the academy and the club to bring it in line with a club playing a style of football that everyone has bought into. Should Maresca leave, does that mean this style of football is only here while he is here, at the moment it does not seem as if we are looking to implement it long-term.

...the standard of defence in front of him is poor, very hard to judge his real ability!!! Not many goals scored in 22 games 2 and 3 assists if I recall and most notably decision-making is his big weakness, we have enough of that already. Take note Mavididi, steer the ball into the net, what you are doing in front of the goal is ridiculous, calm yourself and pick a spot. The more power you use, the less control.

...yes!!!

...so Arabic it is then!!!

...4 - 0 down after 55 mins!!! Unless Fulham has sneaked half their first team in, we are looking at conceding 8 tonight at least. If this is the death knell for Petty then so be it!

...probably a bit before your time!!! Yeah, they are going through a rough patch and there doesn't seem to be an end to it.

...it probably feels as if he has woken up after a dream!!!

...the clique has been broken up, only one left (KDH) and he has been putting his head down and working for the team!!! Look at the ones that are still here, down to earth and workman like.

...both were part of a weak-minded team that took us down, whilst both were very talented and would have been big assets for Maresca, it is good to see a more cohesive and happy team out on the pitch!!!

...those promoted teams are going to invest when promoted, they are not going to be the same teams!!!

...we have no choice, we are all invested in getting to the end!!!

...yeah that sounds like a pretty likely thing to happen!!! I have no idea about what drives Maresca, but he could view taking us to the Champions League as the equivalent of Manchester City winning the tournament. A team with a much smaller budget, smaller revenue stream and a previous winner of the league may be viewed as a better testament to his coaching than having an abundance of money being lavished every season.

...I think we need to look at the net spend to get a fairer picture of what they are achieving!!!

...I think we will resolve that issue when Cannon comes into the team!!! The amount of balls played into the box and a player who has the ability to head the ball properly will have a very productive time playing for us. We need to sign Doyle, he makes a big difference to the left-hand side, Fatawu and Mavididi need to learn as much as possible and use this time in this division to hone their skills. Atgun and Casadei joining the team permanently give us many interchangeable options. The system that we play is the key to all this, we do not need to pay for too many shiny new players for us to be successful.

...no we won't, we are sourcing players with a more decerning eye, with a manager who gives input!!!

...he was very proficient whilst on loan at Luton, a different player compared to his time in the U23s!!! His finishing should not be a surprise, just his decision-making and the quality in the last third.

...would like to see Madivadua come in on the left with Akgun and Casadei as the 8's!!! Fatawu stays on the right, he has to take the lead as the go-to winger for this game, we tend to lean heavily on the left-hand side, and he needs to step up.

...I think Winks was calling the shots on how he wanted to progress, clubs I suspect enquired but I suspect he had other ideas!!! Braybrooke when fit will replicate him, he also has the knack of getting better and more influential in the latter part of games.

...just got back into playing, ring rusty and need the time in his legs!!!

...it took a manager who utilise wingers as an essential part of their strategy to bring them in!!! It was criminal our inability to bring in players, especially for the RW.

...you do know who you are describing, don't you!!!
