Probably broke him again

It is genuinely like he actually doesn’t want us to score a goal again

Not sure what is going on with him - unless he has just been out injured for a while I didn't see anything about him being recalled but he hasn't been in a Barrow squad for ages Yet has been called up to the Wales Under 21s

Todays Games - Saturday 15th March Championship: Ben Nelson (6.7 + clean sheet - 68 mins) - Oxford United 1-0 Watford Will Alves (7.6 + 1 assist - 29 mins) - Cardiff City 2-1 Blackburn Rovers League Two: Brandon Cover (6.3 + 13 mins) - Fleetwood Town 0-3 Colchested United National League: Arjan Raikhy (21 mins) - Tamworth 3-1 Dagenham & Redbridge National League North: Oli Ewing (90 mins) - Buxton 1-0 Brackley Town Northern Premier League Premier Divison: Ben Grist (90 mins) - Worksop Town 3-1 Hyde United Scottish Prem: Tom Wilson-Brown (unused sub) - Kilmarnock 1-1 Hibernian

Him picking Ward told me that he had very clearly not done any actual research on the club or its players

Very good performance from Alves in a very big win for Cardiff

Great goalkeeping from Blackburn stops him scoring Very much been the difference maker for Cardiff since he came on

Alves gets an assist!

ALVES ASSIST!

Alves goes close from 20 yards Probably closest to scoring in the 2nd half so far

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-14502407/Ruud-van-Nistelrooy-Leicester-Abdul-Fatawu-relegation.html Though current manager Ruud van Nistelrooy has failed improve results, his role in helping Fatawu – Leicester's biggest asset - may turn out to be invaluable longer-term. In 2000, van Nistelrooy's proposed transfer to Manchester United was delayed after he suffered his own dreadful ACL that kept him out of the game for a year. Yet he came back to become one of United's greatest strikers and later star for Real Madrid. Despite the Dutchman being under huge pressure to keep Leicester up, 21-year-old Fatawu says the manager found time plenty to offer advice and encouragement – which he would like to repay. 'Ruud has been like a father to me,' reveals the young African. 'I knew his history as a player but he's also been a good friend, always helpful and there for me. 'He talks to me about what happened in his career. He went through the same thing. 'He tells me his injury was the time that made him who he is today. He became even stronger and says it can happen to me too. I just need to focus. 'I'd be so happy to get the chance to play for him. He has shown so much interest in helping me as an injured player, imagine what it would be like if I can play and help the team. I can't wait for him to develop me as a footballer.' Fatawu has spent up to six hours a day in rehab at the Foxes training ground, six days a week. He thinks the left knee he damaged is now stronger than his right. It's a long shot he'll appear this season but he's confident he'll be fully ready for the start of pre-season. Whether van Nistelrooy is still there is uncertain. The King Power has been toxic in recent weeks though the City board and director of football Jon Rudkin receive more heat from fans than the manager. Despite his age, Fatawu has already experienced a lot. First kicking a ball on dirt tracks in Tamale in northern Ghana, he joined an academy at eight, first realised he could make a pro career at 13 and left for Sporting Lisbon at 16. He played briefly under Ruben Amorim before fulfilling his dream to come to England. After leading Leicester to promotion, he topped the Premier League charts for tackles-per-game and was second for dribbles-per-game behind Jeremy Doku when he suffered his injury. The long lay-off has given him a perspective on life. To mark his 'Coming of Age' birthday last weekend, he donated food and water to an orphanage in Ghana, and invited friends around for Iftar, the fast-breaking meal that Muslims have during Ramadan. 'I've learned a lot from my injury. It's made me realise how important football is in my life,' he says. 'I've had a lot of help, not just the manager but team-mates like Ricardo Pereira and James Justin who have also had this injury. 'When it happened, I thought I'd twisted my knee. I tried to continue playing but the pain was too much – I couldn't carry on. We flew back from Angola to Ghana and had a scan the next morning. 'Some things just happen but of course I felt bad because Leicester needed me. We won't know if results would have been different but I feel like I would have had a good season. 'I like to have the ball and create, take a risk sometimes. If there is no way, try to find a way. That is maybe why I like to dribble.' Leicester players who aren't in the first-team squad all arrive at the stadium an hour before kick-off to be in the dressing-room for van Nistelrooy's team talk. 'And when the players go to warm-up, I always watch,' says Fatawu. On the fans' criticism to the team, he adds: 'They have a right to react. It's normal. We need to stick together because we are having bad times. I feel Ruud is one of the best coaches. We need to do more to get more wins.' As a boy, Fatawu watched the Premier League with his Dad, games with games screened in communal rooms and charging an entry fee. When he was 12, he saw Leicester win the title, and learned a new name, Jamie Vardy. 'I used to support different teams. If one of them lost, I'd change to another,' he laughs. 'I didn't know who Leicester City were before they won the title. We started to hear this name "Vardy" because he was the main man. 'It is a bit of dream come true to now be at the same club. I've told him I'm lucky he didn't retire and that he waited for me to come over and play with him! 'On the pitch he gives you the confidence to do whatever you want. He has so much energy. If we're playing together, I feel like I can definitely help him to score.' Regardless of which division Leicester are in next season Fatawu will be excited just to be on the pitch again. 'I don't think I'll play this season but I am not in any pain now, I can made different movements with my leg and I will be ready from day one of pre-season,' he promises. Ideally, with his footballing father van Nistelrooy still in charge.

There is a chance that is the game where we are officially relegated and they officially get Champions League football Disgusting

Ben Nelson starting for Oxford United vs Watford Will Alves on the bench for Cardiff City vs Blackburn Rovers Brandon Cover on the bench for Fleetwood Town vs Colchested United Arjan Raikhy on the bench for Tamworth vs Dagenham & Redbridge Oli Ewing starting for Buxton vs Brackley Town Ben Grist starting for Worksop Town vs Hyde United Tom Wilson-Brown on the bench for Kilmarnock vs Hibernian

QPR beating Leeds 1-0

I think it was Cole Palmer who played 5-10 mins as a sub for the senior side then went and scored a hat trick against our under 21s the same day

If neither of Monga and Evans end up getting even a single minute of senior football this season the club deserves to have them both be poached

Those who already paid £25 for a physical card for this season gonna get shafted and have to pay £25 for another one next season?

Doubt we could get him in the Championship but Inigo Perez at Rayo Vallecano Was Iraola’s assistant but didn’t move to Bournemouth with him and is now doing well as a manager himself

Finally, van Nistelrooy spoke about how much the away supporters at Chelsea helped to boost the team. He was asked how important it could be to bring that atmosphere to King Power Stadium on Sunday

He was asked how much his team could do with a positive result this weekend against Manchester United

Van Nistelrooy opted for a change in system against Chelsea, moving to a back 5 He was asked if he could have made the change earlier in the season

Ruud van Nistelrooy confirmed that he has no fresh injury concerns, with a fully fit squad apart from Abdul Fatawu Last week Ricardo returned to the team after being out since December. The City boss is happy to have him back
