Now stick them all in Vardy’s oxygen chamber thingy and don’t let ‘em out til Saturday, no training ground injuries, viruses or fall outs and we have a good chance of another win.

What you need to understand is that even when not involved these players benefit us as their very presence puts pressure on the others to perform in order to keep their place (my theory on the relevance of Inler on our PL win - made Drinkwater play his b*****s off) - hence the recent outstanding form of……..oh hang on the argument falls apart now

Knows the league, knows the level, knows what’s required, knows what works and what doesn’t. Marti should have known these things too coming from Q.P.R. But maybe he thought the, ahem, “premier League quality” in the squad would negate the need to be hard working scrappers .

Hang on, I’ve just noticed - IT WAS A CLEAN SHEET!!!!

Pint for Jakub

I haven’t breathed out since half time - I’m literally blue through and through!

Hi Rowett, welcome to the forum!

They do look very focused like they realise how important it is, just a bit rigid at times through the anxiety of the situation, if you can’t relax that happens but hopefully that means no under hit back passes or silly decisions just solid functional motions with a bit of belief.

Look I don’t care if it’s frustrating and ugly, the result is what matters. It’s there for the taking even more so and that’s the frustration but we’re 2 up with some quality on the bench. Just don’t retreat, keep giving them something to think about at the other end, the best way to kill time is to keep the ball.

I hate those “as it stands” tables. Don ‘t count all your chickens in the same bush basket until they hatch and all that, show us at full time not now please.

The Hamza yellow card sweepstake result is 35 minutes, check your tickets folks.

Twine is getting tied up in knots!

Keeeeeeerp going lads, don’t retreat.

Wasn't that a Kaiser Chiefs single?

I get wanting to get James back in and in his best position hence Winks missing out but Reid and Mavididi over Mukasa? Ayew over Daka? Ayew over Filbert? Hamza over Aluko?

Crikey, it's like being in a dentists waiting room isn't it. Just without the prospect of the fit assistant holding your hand and giving you a drink at the end.

Well James is back, starting, that's good ....................................................................................................................................we're all still thinking about Ayew aren't we?

It's Sabotage then !

The idea is to avoid having a s**tter second half than first by keeping the best, well better, players on the bench and bring them on. The mans a genius.

Tannoy man "Can the owner of car registration number A.Y.E.W.9 please go to the car park. For about 2 1/2 hours preferably."

In all the shock of seeing Ayew and Reid start I didn't notice Mavididi staying in too, how little do you have to put in to keep your place these days. Time to deliver but I said that in the previous x amount of games. Do something. Anything. Please.

Ayew serious? Ayew taking the p*ss? Ayew having a laugh?

"Then write number 9 Jordan Ayew.....number 14 Bobby De-Cordova Reid"

Outrara you doing you fool, not the time and place for one of those Pinocchio thingy kicks
