Clever Fox

A Miracle now it seems.

Enzo is an elite Coach, With better signings than Cooper brought in, Enzo would have us midtable at least.

Whoever sanctioned Skipps signing from a Football perspective should be sacked immediately.

He's on a learning curve, Working hard in games without delivering a lot. That's where he needs to improve. He does the wrong thing at times but all part of his learning. He just needs plenty of encouragement and help from the Manager and Coaches and he's going to be a big player for us. It was strange to see him subbed today though.

He done a great job at Wolves and was building a good side there until things turned a little sour for him. I certainly wouldn't mind him here and he's come cheap.

Cambiaso was class in how he read and managed games. Though my choice would have to be Mahrez, simply because he created so much excitement with the Ball and scored quality Goals too.

Wilf can't come back soon enough, We've struggled badly without him. The only one who might be able to do that job iplaying in front of the defence is Faes alongside Soumare and Skipp. He'd charge around winning balls back like Wilf without too much responsability and he's comfortable enough with the Ball at his feet. We've nothing to lose we're not winning games anyway, So we need to try and find something new to turn results around.

Ruud needs to drill a bit of dicipline into El Khannouss and Facundo. They were everywhere against Palace without really affecting the game. The amount of space between them and Vardy wastoo much at times. Especially Facundo on the right. The amount of times JJ found space with the Ball down the right with no support only to turn back or try a pass to Vardy which were all cut out. I'd like to see them both just work the channels and support the play as we progress up the pitch. Anyway hoping for a win, But further improvement at least is needed. Daka looked hungry on Saturday to score, It might be time to give Jamie a rest.

There's been huge improvement since he came in. You can see clear patterns of play and chances created, we just aren't taking them. You cant blame him for what he inherited and there is no magic wand. It takes time and effort. He can only play the players available and we're missing Wilf and Fats particularly along with Ricardo. And the Bench is poor. They are 3 big losses and the recruitment under Cooper was terrible. Ruud has to be given the time and the chance to bring in his own players regardless of results while he turns things around. If that leads to relegation so be it. We've been there before. And will rise again.

I thought Daka worked really hard when he came on and for the first time looked like he could offer something. Ruud must be getting into his head, He just needs to calm down in front of Goal and he could get scoring. He's our only hope up front unless we rest Vardy and he comes back energised or we sign someone new. We badly need players back from injury before it's too late.

They are the chances you take as a Manager, Sometimes it works fine sometimes it doesn't. That wasn't the problem last night, It was player error again, From a player who didn't play on Saturday. Small margins in a game we played well aside from the result. That's just Football. We're sadly missing Wilfs bite on the pitch, On a positive note VK is getting better along with Soumare the more they play.

That would be a great staring point as the DOF. He won't sign muck or over pay them.

I like what I've seen from Ruud but he's going to need time and Money to improve the squad. All he can do now is play what he has available, The injuried players would improve our squad but sadly they may not be back in time to help out execpt the last few games.

And Ruud has said exactly the same. Which is one area he's looking to improve.

That's ok, But I've been here through the decades when many had us down during Nigels great escape and also when we raced from the relegation teams to get into the play offs. It's all about getting results but Ruud can only play the players he was given. Let's see who he brings in.

I love the Championship, So I'm not too worried either way. Thought it too early to right us off yet when we don't know who might come in yet.

No he didn't, He just got lucky with a fresh Vardy and Ayew chipping in with a few early season. Now time has caught up with them. Our signings have been simply too poor and on ridiculous salaries. Enzo would have kept us up because he would have brought in better players. I'ts that simple.

All of a sudden we cant get the ball to stick.

We need Daka on for his pace.

I hope JJ gets more support going forward this half.

With the amount of space they are leaving at the back Daka could come on and score. If he doesn't score against these he'll never socre. They are so open for someone with his pace.

You've got to make allowances for Vardy, He's 37 not 17

It's clear Ruud is doing some great work with them, You can see some great patterns, We just need a bit more belief.

Ayew to come on and score against his old Club.

Soumare has been excellent so far. I just wish he'd keep going with his long legs when going forward.
