Have the people not happy, watched back the chances from today? I get there’s still lingering frustration with the club being in League 1 and still being under the same custodians but at some point you’ve gotta start trying to be positive and support the team. We had 7 of our own players today in the squad, brought through the academy and tbh most of them look like the best players on the pitch. There’s been shed loads of change this summer and soon we’re likely to have new ownership. Fans are grumbling and booing at a team with the likes of Sammy, JJ and Will Alves for something they had nothing to do with, i.e. why we’re playing a shite MK Dons with a half empty stadium. Anyone who tries to say we were poor today, I have to massively disagree, it’s not perfect but it’s a damn sight better than watching the likes of Ayew, Winks, Mavididi, Faes etc stinking out the place on big wages.

Alves not coming on until the 75th despite Watson stinking the ****er out is a mark against Russell. It’s hard to be angry with that though, we absolutely mullered them and had shots off the post and the crossbar.

Only issues I have with that side are the inclusion of Bobby and Tommy Watson over Bristric and Alves. Alves has been our best attacking player so far in the 2 league games played and Watson’s end product has been absent despite getting in some dangerous positions.

Mate took his lad down today. On the way out the ground had Burton fans calling it child abuse to make him support us. It’s degrading being a Leicester fan now.

Big fanny.

Get Skipp out and play Sammy deeper. We need a CB big time. Get Jakub back in goal. McFarlane can’t be any worse than Thomas I refuse to believe it. Play Bristric from the start. This next time please Russell: Jakub JJ Okoli New LCB McFarlane Braybrooke Burns Chaplin Alves Watson Bristric

Rest of the team let down by the GK, both CB’s and the LB tbh. Aside from JJ the back line were a complete bomb scare.

Souttar was a ****ing disgrace for their goal.

Sammy Braybrooke is absolutely mustard btw.

Bristric on. Cullen off, play Bobby as a 10 and then see how we go. Bring Watson on for Bobby and move Will into the left 10 role.

Looks like Page is definitely off then. Glad to see the back of Mavididi and as much as I’d like Bristric to start you can see why Russell’s not chucked him straight in.

Happy to have him for a crack at winning League 1 again but it is wild business to give a near 32 year old winger who’s done an ACL a 3 year deal.

The mad thing about the discussion around our academy players is these lads were brought through when expectations around the club were, can they play in and around the premier league level? If the club hadn’t been mismanaged both financially and in recruitment, these players would have been sent out on loan to League 1/League 2 level to develop and progress. Now we actually find ourselves in League 1 and all of sudden it’s beyond reasonable expectation to give these players a real opportunity?

We could have been absolutely shafted if he hadn’t signed pro terms. They definitely did put the club’s interest in mind because they valued the way the club helped him develop with his football education and paying for his schooling at Ratcliffe College. They essentially gave us the keys to £10 million pure profit when a tribunal fee would have been nowhere near that amount.

The issue for me with signing Burns is that if he hadn’t had the ACL injury, there’s no chance he’d be moving to us in League 1. This isn’t like Fatawu for example who suffered an ACL injury early in his career and has the biological advantage of youth on his side to aide with his recovery. Burns is on the wrong side of 30, his body is on the decline anyway and how he performs coming off such a serious injury is up in the air at the moment.

It’s a good job we sent Sammy on loan last season because he would have shown his quality at Championship level if Marti had more bollocks and he wouldn’t still be here now to win League 1 POTS.

The money we waste on this transfer is money we could have put towards getting Dom Ballard in. 23 goals in 40 games at this level, at the age of 21 for a team in Orient who played a similar style of football to what we will play under Martin. I won’t hold it against the lad and hope he does well here but unless we get an actual goal scorer in, I’ll be quietly fuming.

Think Chaplin’s gonna be riding the bench for a bit. Page and Braybrooke deserve to start based on pre-season so far.

If Mavididi is intent on moving on, it’s time to give Evans a chance to play more with the majority of players from the 2nd half team. Play him on the right and Alves on the left.

It was the perfect opening to a pre-season workout until Wout Faes started prancing about like he was playing beach football. He’s playing with a load of youth and he dropped the tone. **** knows why he’s getting run outs here still.

I’m all for giving Russell a chance but anymore of this playing Wout Faes over Kevon Gray and he can get in the ****ing bin.

There isn’t a word that exists, that accurately describes Winks. So instead I’ll just write: **** YOU ****.

Despite everyone’s opinion on it, is it possible for us to try and back us when the season kicks off? We have an opportunity to rebuild here. Yes the protests against the owners are still valid but the manager and the players need support.

No doubt some KPFC **** has ripped it down.

Deffo got the money’s worth with this pilot lads and lasses, he don’t wanna go home 🤣
