With the number of wing options unavailable and the daunting prospect of watching Ayew waddle around like a constipated duck for 75 minutes again I was going to suggest going to 3 CB’s ,wing backs and two up top. But then I remembered how s**t our full backs, centre backs and second strikers are . Just keep the non trying ones away from the stadium completely, they’ve had their chance, that ship has sailed (or sunk!) keep their toxicity away from the young’uns.

He'd have to change his name to Danny Cob if he comes to Leicester

The reply that they'll be up for sale when the game has sold out may be generic rather than a live update on the situation, does anyone ever get a message that says "thanks for re-listing, it's now live for re-sale" rather than "it will be when sold out"? Is it possible that that number of seats dotted around are all re-sale seats and the match had technically sold out which triggered them becoming available i.e. all the seats you can see are re-sales not original for sales? Unlikely for the sizzling blockbuster that is City v Southampton I know but who knows anything any more!!

Think it'll be 0-0. We don't do goals and Southampton will miss the 2 or 3 sitters we gift them.

Hi Soyuncu, welcome to the forum!

Mending a wireless microphone in a school, I was getting peeved at the students staring at me so I took it into the corridor. Trying to refit the batteries and get a steady connection I was going a bit potty mouth, when I returned to the class all the kids were red faced with tears streaming, it turns out every 2nd or 3rd word had been coming through the speakers. Could have been worse, I could have taken it to the loo ala Leslie Neilsen in Naked Gun!

Twatterface - “Goals are absolute key”. Thank god for his expert insight, without it I wouldn’t have a clue what was going on.

Poor old Nottinfinal Forest

Let’s take a moment to sympathise with Gibbs-White……..,ok enough

Blimey O’Reilly, he’s been watching me in 5 a-sides and copied my trademark move!

Gardening leave must be the solution, the guy can’t be well if he thinks he’s doing a competent job. Take him out of the firing line, let Kingy pick the side and set up, be looking now for the next manager and confirm departure in the next financial period if that’s the issue.

Think it’ll be 0-0. Remember folks, “Bring your whole squad”, I just wish Ruud wouldn’t.

8 passes today apparently. Man, if you want to just watch the game buy a ticket like the rest of us. Just so passive and ineffective. But he’ll be handed a shirt again next time because Ruud has absolutely no standards or respect for our badge.

Aside from Vardy, focus on players who could be here next season. Stolarczyk Ricardo Okoli Coady Thomas Ndidi (unlikely to stay I know) / Cartwright Skipp MacAteer El Khannous Monga Vardy Suggest Wilf starts but give a youngster the last 30 mins, maybe harsh on Mads if he hasn’t expressed a desire to leave but need to build up Jakub’s all round experience. Winks can hang out in Mothercare for the afternoon, Soumare, Faes, Eduauard and Bouananotte pointless being involved at all. Biggest hope for the day is a Vardy goal with a chance of number 200 next weekend at home. Wolves 4 Randomly constructed side of assorted f***wits 1

If this had been his audition, well what have the board seen from him that impresses? Yes we know the hand he was dealt with poor squad and poor / diabolical / virtually non-existent backing but what has he shown? What is his style? Which players have improved under him? Can he organise a side defensively? Can he get a side functioning in the final third? Can he get a side to win their midfield battle? Does he make good, logical or inspirational substitutions? How does he react to poor performances regarding continued team selection? We've had a good close look at all of this, what is the verdict, what can anyone see that shows competence or even potential? The way he deals with players perhaps but on the pitch, keeping Liverpool and Arsenal out for a long period of the games, is that the CV highlight? He picks Faes. He picks Soumare. He claims that he does make changes when picking the same line ups, subtle ones within the existing system that we're perhaps too ignorant to appreciate. Did they work? Maybe the 2 easiest games of the season on-paper, Southampton and Ipswich, will reveal something, we'll see something, some identity, some semblance of a style, who knows, a goal (let's not get carried away) but if after those two there's still no encouragement, what then?
