Thank you for showing passion representing our shirt. Even if you’re not here next year, I’ll think of you positively.

Atletico Madrid one came in handy today!

He was actually better than Mavididi until he was taken off. I think it’s great he works so hard out of possession too, take note Mavididi. Abdul is 19, if we go up then 14 million is a good investment because we will be able to sell him for double soon.

The BBC are biased, unless they confirm your confirmation bias.

Different players and you need different players against different teams. I also need a different word for different.

It’s a shame the manager is that stubborn, I’d probably say the same about Cannon too.

Unfortunately I still think we do need him dropping deep, I don’t see KDH and Ndidi doing well against a deep defence because of their technical limitations. Daka quite rightly took pelters for the last match but I was happy with his contribution this season so far, doing the jobs you’ve described.

My reasons for starting Iheanacho is because he will drop deep. There won’t be space for Daka in behind but we have a striker in Iheancho who can find space in front of the defence, play clever passes to the wingers and shoot from outside the box. Nonetheless, I’d still start Vardy if that’s an option!

I don’t think I’d start Daka today. There won’t be much space in behind, if you’re wanting to bring Vardy on, then Iheanacho is the better option for how Birmingham might play.

Can’t remember which number but it’s one of the sky sports channels. For once this is not on red button I think, actually listed under Sky Sports Action that would normally show rubbish like the NFL. All the other championship games except Leeds, are listed as red button on Tuesday.

Apparently on Sky action rather than the red button.

Weirdly the only people I see carrying them out after the game, are 40+ year old men with no kids with them. Wearing an xl shirt from this season, with Vardy 9 on the back.

All I’m thinking about now is Ricardo being fit for every game, does he play both Millwall and Plymouth next week, as a Friday/Tuesday split, unlikely but does he now play Southampton Preston, Tuesday to Monday, yes. It does mean I can’t go to Preston now but there is at least one silver lining with Ricardo.

Think Forest Spurs game was moved at short notice from the Monday night, due to train strikes.

As expected Cool as Leicester loved it. Cool as King Power, they should be renamed.

Anyone been to the evening at Chutney Ivy?

Ricardo is the best player in the league but has he been our player of the season, yes.

Coady and Vardy, in for Faes and Daka. Otherwise unchanged. Cannon to come onto the bench for Daka, who shouldn’t even be on the bench after his last few outings. At least Iheanacho offers something different.

I have been trying to work out what this year our losses would look like and I’ve been thinking quite strongly about the situation of our signings, considering they must have known what mess we’d been in. I’d be interested to know what Mavididi is on. At Montpellier he was probably on between 15k-25k, wouldn’t be surprised if he is on 35k-40k. Same with Winks, Coady, they’ll be on a minimum of 40k. The signing that actually makes some sense will be Cannon, amortisation of 7m and probably on a wage of less than 20k. We just signed him for the wrong manager but at the time, Daka is likely off and this is quite likely to be Vardy’s and Iheanacho’s last year. Akgun was an Enzo signing (Montella links) and as much as I try to like him, he’s a nothing player in this league. Abdul makes sense, don’t imagine his wages are huge to cover for this season. Hermansen has been outstanding, 4 million and probably reasonable wages. Clearly a player who could go for 30 million plus, if he had a year in the Premier league. The frustrating thing about this signing is that we then decided to reject an offer of the same amount for Iversen. As for Doyle, I think he’s been a sensible loan signing and a player we’ve missed, especially at home where the onus has been on us to attack and we’ve needed to pass the ball quicker and longer, something Justin can’t do.

I just assumed it couldn’t be Chapman on the basis that 5k was the top ceiling at the time when he would have joined Leeds.

Think that was Seth Johnson but definitely feels like that’s how we negotiate.

I really enjoy your channel, thanks.

It depends on who the manager is, if Enzo leaves then so should Vestegaard, however he is clearly crucial to the way we play under him. Otherwise, yes I’d rather keep Faes. I just don’t think he should be an automatic starter.

I think Faes needs to prove himself in the Premier League as well. You could argue that Vestegaard for Southampton, actually has, albeit only fit for a certain system.

Wouldn’t be something that I would join in with but thought it showed poor mentality from Faes to react so blatantly to it, especially when it clearly started on the basis of Fatawu receiving the ball (Doyle played a number of passes to him, got a couple of cheers). Maresca also reacted in the 6th minute when there were a few groans, throwing his arms up to the section where Pearson told a fan to FOAD. I am concerned at how sensitive our manager is, very worried going forward because there are clearly tougher times ahead. Imagine if we do get promoted and the same fans are getting on his back after 4/5 or even more losses in a row, Pearson (or Cambiasso 😂) eventually managed to turn it round but even he clearly struggled beforehand, evidenced by the bizarre incidents during that season. And I adore the bloke. I think it suggests that we may need a more pragmatic manager going forward and ultimately not a good fit for the football club, during this current period. However, that decision won’t happen because King Power will only consider manager’s with a certain vision. Nonetheless, this demonstrates to all concerned that we can influence the players and be a positive contribution towards one of a number of factors to help us win. I don’t think anyone is suggesting that the ironic cheers were the sole reason we won.
