I have a feeling we get something here. 2-1 City (Vardy and BEK).

Rogers just got a a yellow for Villa which now apparently means he misses this - good news for us.

It’s a mistake that he’s unfortunate to be punished for, wasn’t helped out at all. He’ll learn from that and be better for it, nothing to worry about as he was very assured otherwise.

Really decent keeper. No.1 next season if we do go down.

Jakub Choudhury Faes Vestergaard Kristiansen Winks Soumare Facundo Bilal Mavididi Daka Anything less than a 4 goal defeat would be a bonus here. My prediction is a surprise 1-0 lead with an eventual 5-1 defeat.

In terms of match sharpness there won’t be much of a difference between Jakub and Ward anyway, only training time. No brainer that if Mads is out, Jakub starts.

Just the 7 hour drive back tomorrow Shambles - how Danny Ward has been allowed to play for us again in the PL is beyond me. Midfield woeful and wingers totally ineffective. Expected defeat but that was abject.

Yes he’s not good enough, I think that’s clear to see. But it’s not like he’s picking himself, he’s giving 100% and is a local boy also. Back him whilst he’s on the pitch, I suspect we won’t see too much more of him as a starter, especially once we’ve had the chance to add to the squad in January.

If we stay up, he’ll fund a lot of our summer spending. Absolutely magnificent keeper who is well on his way towards being world class. Pleasure to have him here for now.

I reckon Kasey scores in a 2-1 win tonight.

Mads Choudhury Faes Vestergaard Kristiansen Winks (if fit, Ndidi if not) Skipp Facundo Bilal Mavididi Vardy Faes seems to play better alongside Vestergaard, and I think JJ is the more pressing issue that needs taking out of the side immediately. Coady over Faes won’t fix anything - he’s just as bad with the potential to be worse.

Need a minimum of 4 starters to come in in January, which will be a very tricky task. The worry for me is I look at our squad and who can you truly say is premier league quality? Hermansen, Winks, Vardy (just about which is testament to him), Fatawu (injured), Facundo (not ours). You could make arguments for Mavididi and potentially BEK too but it’s too early to tell. We need an entirely new defence, a new midfielder, a new striker and a winger to replace the loss of Abdul. We need to identify 3/4 of those 7 that are priority in January and hope we have enough - it’s a big ask.

RVN would be a big risk. Will of course back him if he comes in and it would be infinitely better than the Cooper appointment.

Don’t want RVN whatsoever.

Quite liked him on the left actually. Could be an option to explore in a game where he’ll have more opportunity to get forward.

I don’t think McAteer is in ‘instead’ of Stephy, I think it’s a change of shape with Kasey at RWB and JJ at RCB. Mads JJ Faes Okoli McAteer Soumare Ndidi Winks Kristiansen Bilal Vardy

That could be a back 5 with Justin at Right centre-back and McAteer as a wing back?

The 5th of which was a snip at north of £20m too.

Just as well our recruitment was excellent in the summer and we have proper depth to mitigate for such an injury isn’t it…

Kasey can play wing back, so I reckon we go with the Christmas tree formation of: Hermansen Faes Vestergaard Okoli McAteer Ndidi Winks Kristiansen Bilal Mavididi Vardy

Haven’t been to a home game so far this season and don’t plan to for the rest of it. Away games only - maximum of £30 which is reasonable. They’re taking the mick with home prices.

Of the realistic appointments, Moyes.

He’s still a couple of year younger than KDH was when he went out on loan - there is still time. Get him out to league 1, even top end of league 2 if necessary for 6 months and see how he goes from there. Has to be playing men’s football every week.

3-1 United. Always confident we have a goal in us but no chance we can keep them out at the other end.

Cannon has equalised for Stoke v Southampton.
