Quality ref, been saying so all night

.

Does Rudkin ever sit and wonder why none of the likes of Burnley, Leeds or Wolves saw the likes of Faes, Skipp, Winks, DeCordova-Reid, Soumare, Daka, Kristianson or Vestergaard as viable options to help keep them in the Premier League, going against his opinion when he recruited them that they were good enough for that? Wages and “no better than what we have” would be the answers and the level of transfer fee we may be asking / need to ask. Justin was identified by Leeds as squad cover, one registration who can play in multiple positions and our promising keeper went to West Ham. We’re stuck with the others on bloated salaries with little sign of that changing in January, maybe Faes will find a loan with it being a World Cup year (can’t cope with Championship opponents but eyes are fixed on World Cup standards!) The question in response to Marti’s comments is “why do we have so many” and that should be being discussed daily in the boardroom with the person responsible for recruiting them in the first place. But you don’t HAVE TO. use them Marti. Hard to manage those numbers, hard to run training sessions, possibly, hard to keep everyone happy - well that’s deserved the moment they stopped chasing, straining to block crosses or get their bodies in the way.

Yes it is

Following the first relegation there were claims that there would be a root and branch investigation into everything including I presume recruitment / contracts / wages. Mistakes had been made, identify them, draw a line in the sand then say “never again”. Fast forward a year, with every penny needing to count a huge slice of our budget goes on Skipp. For such a fee and contract that player should be integral to our side week in week out but look at it now, one thing Marti has got right is his assessment that he’s a championship sub who you don’t even use in rotation when you’re on an awful winless run. So for me it’s Skipp, it was one we had to get right and came after the alleged deep analysis of past mistakes.

There’s a strong case in this “system” to not bother with one, pick an extra body say Mavididi (with Monga Left Wing), to float around as a false 9. After all, we’ve been playing with a false 2,3,4,5,6,7,8,10 & 11 already!

When she replaced our cuddling profile picture on facebook with one of her cat. Oh, with City? years ago. Conceding 2 in 3 minutes, twice just days apart (Spurs at home, Forest away in cup) the leadership and standards were non existent and have remained so since.

Reminds me of Wayne Clarke, anonymous, not involved in the game but reliably informed / rumoured if a chance comes his way he’ll score. We used to call him corner flag because they had a similar amount of movement.

But Rudkin will still enter through the sewers like all the other rats

And there’s a lot of crumpet at the start of Allo Allo “Reneeee’”

I’ll drive him there. And I don’t drive but I’ll girrit a go.

The bit where he dropped his shoulder and ran at / into four Blackburn players Mate, you’re not 1986 Maradona, you’re a competition winner with long legs.

Yep indeedy indeedy-doo

I’ve come up with a better side for this game:- A photo of Peter Shilton Ricardo Nelson A tub of lard. Aluko A potato A Blueberry Muffin Fatawu That Briggs lad Monga A fart in a lift clearly superior to todays selection

I don’t rate Bobby but rather have him at 10 and James deeper than having Soumare involved in any way, we’re at home to Blackburn who are likely to sit in deep.

Weakest Leicester bench since Daniel Lambert sat to eat a pie in Abbey Park

When people say. “why do you go”, I say “I want to be there when Monga scores his first goal at home”. Maybe today will be that day. Maybe Caranza will show something, Mavididi will start taking people on again. I have faith in James, Ricardo, keeper’s OK and Fatawu, on his day, and let’s not forget having had 8 or so months out is doing well considering. But those shoots of optimism will likely all be blunted by the realisation that constant bomb-scare cocker-uppers will be handed places and devalue the badge before a ball is kicked. In-effective players will occupy key positions, we’ll be flat, blunt and uninspiring. I’d take an ugly 1-0 as a start of a salvaging rescue job on the season but right now struggle to see even that.

To gauge sharpness I wonder whether they score or even look like scoring in training. To be fair they’re only up against our own error prone, gift giving, buffoon CB’s, but do they score? What kind of goals do they score? What does a Caranza goal look like? What does a goal look like? The position is up for grabs and whilst I agree they’re feeding off crumbs in the matches they need to be in that mindset that when a half chance comes they’ll bag it (not brick it!) In comparison how do the younger lads look, scoring goals at competitive level then coming into training on a high unlike Daka who’s last goal was filmed on black & white cine-film with a piano soundtrack applauded by flat capped pipe smoking suited gents with bushy moustaches (only a slight exaggeration, that’s how it feels)! How about a behind closed doors friendly to get their confidence up, get someone potentially weak enough, St Tiddlesworths Girl Guides Pack 3rd XI or Forest? But we do need better service, a LB that gets within 20 yards of the winger he’s supporting would be a start.

We should get that embroidered in latin under the badge on this seasons kit, new club motto

Under the “You were s**t last week, here’s a shirt, go again”, lemmings off a cliff mentality, yes. There are no standards, less effort and determination than our opponents and no sign of a goal threat outside of Fatawu and James.

Jakub Choudhury Okoli Nelson Ricardo (Not ideal LB but I trust him more than the others) Winks James Ramsey Fatawu Monga Filbert / Rustie Lee or Me Page, Aluko & Evans on bench

You know that old Victor Meldrew episode where they pick up the wrong person at the airport and bring them home………just saying

The official app just informed me that we “just fall short at the AKM tonight”. Fair reflection or happy clappy, spin driven bull?

Dentures & Imodium ?

I’ve heard that a Sheftalia, a kind of spicy sausage, or Souvlakia (skewers) should be a safe bet, readily available from street venders or restaurants
