Brilliant, I'm still laughing 5 minutes later. If only some of our squad were that sharp.
-
Do we have any Sand Dunes at Seagrave. Sometimes the old ways are still best.
-
I Totally agree with Ruud. Given the situation we find ourselves in it's not unreasonable to ask the players to commit a bit more to the cause. It's certainly something the Club needs to make mandatory for new signings to move to the area or a reasonable distance from the training ground.
-
I'd be sorry to see him go but he needs a fresh challenge. I just hope the Club don't think Skipp or Winks can replace him in midfield.
-
So has Ayew and look where that has got us. Nowhere because we cant even take a free kick that creates a goal.
-
I cant disagree with anything you say, It's just the flashes of brilliance makes me think his problem is nothing to do with ability and more to do with his lack of game knowledge and confidence within the Team. He does come across as lazy at times and then he suddenly wakes up. If Ruud can keep him improving he might just make the grade. What he showed on Sunday was he's good at is carrying the Ball forward and just glide past players something we're clearly lacking. What he hasn't quite learned yet is when to pass and move into space to help others. He does seem to be growing in confidence with game time so we'll see how it pans out in the Summer.
-
To be fair to him he was injured for a large part of it and was never going to displace Vardy when he was scoreing regularly. Next season will be a new team and a new challenge for him. It's amazing what a few goals can do for confidence.
-
I'd have to disagree, I have watched him and he is getting better the more he settles into the team. He's exactly the type of player we need more off, Big and Strong who can actually play. We just need him to develop a rough side as well as offering more committment in games. I think Ruud is working with him trying to get him taking more responsibility on the Ball.
-
Finally, I thought maybe he might become a footballer. He offered more effort yesterday than at anytime since he's been here. I thought he was fouled when he made the run through the middle and was tripped. He also had no look either when he did hit a decent shot it struck the Utd player. We might get a good season out of him in the championship.
-
Yes, Coady was dreadful turning his back on the Ball. Thomas should have made sure his clearance made the touchline. These are the small margins that are costing us goals every wee.
-
He's had quite a few games and offered nothing, Either in defence ot attack. Soumare has all the attributes to be a top top player. Winks offer a little but was the cause of a lot of the Goals we conceeded. But at least he can play football. I just don't see how Skipp can offer us anything and was a poor signing for which someone should be sacked.
-
Luke done ok yesterday and wasn't our worst defender though he was at for the first goal with his clearance.
-
This is exactly his problem, He's trying to be everywhere and doesn't have the energy when he needs it most. They're are all suffering from the stress of our predicament. He'll recover and be all the better for the expreience as he develops further.
-
I don't disagree, Though it's all pointless if we don't rebuild the structure around the Football side of the Club. Rudkin is clearly not up to the job. Glover hasn't proved any good either though that may not be his fault. But recovery depends on who we bring in as a DOF. Then and only then will we move forward again as a Football Club.
-
We need to clear the decks first in the summer regardless of what it costs us. Just get the imposters out of the Club. The next biggest problem is, It's going to be difficult to attract good players to the Club. I'd settle for a season or two in the Championship if we're building properly.

Chelsea 1-0 LCFC, post match thread
Clever Fox replied to Phil Mitchell's topic in Leicester City Forum
I'd say because none of the Forward players tracked his run up to our Box. Inexperience from Facundo I'd say. These type of mistakes are what you get when you're playing young players. Then of course Faes didn't go out to him either and Mads was unsighted until too late. -
We should play him on Sunday. It might make him think twice about his choice If it's true what we hear.
-
To be fair they haven't made that many in terms of progressing the Club. It's the playing side were they have failed miserably, But they'll probably blame it all on Rogers and Rudkin.
-
Let's just hope we've learned our lesson from the last few windows.
-
He'll be a revelation when we get rid of most of the present team. He's trying a little too hard at times. He needs to learn how to pass and move but that's hard as he's very often stranded alone with the Ball.
-
Granted he has scuffed a few hurried shots. But he's living off scraps. Winks isn't good enough in the Defensive Midfield role. I'd like to see him move into the advaced 10 role where is skill on the ball and passing could bring better results. Plus Winks knows where the goal is and has a shot in him. We've got to start trying something new, More of the same isn't working.
-
The reason he's not scoring is the very poor service he's getting from midfield. Bilal and Facundo hold the ball too long at times. Then when they do pass it's very often overhit or too late and he's covered. They're are young players I get that but they have to realise it's a team game. To score goals you have to get the ball into the box. It's that simple. Do that and you give him a real chance of scoring. As to next season, I'd give him some form of a pay as you play contract with a minimum say 40k a week. Then if he plays some form of top up by appearance and win bonuses.
-
I hope he gets to the 200 Goals mark before the season ends though it's hard to see how he will score again with the service he's getting.

Ben Dawson and Danny Alcock - Left the club

He's another that's been a disaster at both ends of the pitch. We haven't scored from a Corner in I don't know how long or a free kick since Maddison left. Our positioning for both is equally as bad, Vesty comes forward and offers nothing, Soumare takes up weird poditions and offer nothing despite being one of the tallest and strongest players we have. Faes isn't any better either when he comes forward. It seems nobody evaluates these factors in choosing players to sign. -
This is the problem, We have 4 CBs and you wouldn't pick any of them if you had a choice. At Full back it's no better except Ricardo. Midfield no better I'd only keep NDiddi and get rid of the rest. Up Top, I'd only keep Fatawau and Bilal and get rid of the rest. The only place we are good enough is in Goal. If only they had a bit of cover in front of them.
