Clever Fox

His problem now is both Okoli and Faces are both quicker around the Box and are developing an understanding. As you say, I wouldn't be holding my breath waiting for Cooper to pick him.

There's several answers to your question but in our case I'd say No, it won't affect player purchases are they are an ongoing expense offset by player sales. And are part of the every year accounts. What they've done is take an advance loan against the KDH money from Chelsea. We sold kdh for 30 million. But I read that's based over 3 years at 10 mil a year. So all we got from Chelsea this year is 10 million. Instead of waiting 2 more years to collect the other 20. They've taken out a loan secured against the Chelsea payments. The big question is what any club uses the money for. If we use it to bring forward the redevelopment of the Stadium. That's makes lots of sense. As the extra seating will bring in more revenue on ticket sales. Helping to sign more or better players. I hope that makes sense. The rules around PSR are a different matter entirely and where designed poorly even with good intentions.

My guess is it has something to do with the Accident. Restricted or Frozen Assets now being released. The legalities around such an horrific event are probably now coming to fruition. So just clearing out the loans we used to tide us over. Everything was going great until that sad night. I'm sure we'll get back on our original plan soon. KP are going nowhere.

If Cooper didn't rate him he should have been sold in the Summer and bring in a new young talent to take his place.

Yes true. But we needed Skipp and Wilf battling away totry and stem the constant barrage we were under. We just needed someone who could hold onto the ball in the hole. Skipp maybe could do that but we know what Wilf is like with the Ball at his feet. We rode our luck but got away with it. I think we can agree that the win was more to do with there poor finishing than our wondeful defending, Though there are small signs of improvement.

I take your point but I was only referring to Saturdays game. 2nd half we struggled to get out of defence and replacing Ayew with him in the Hole ould have given us someone who could hold the Ball and bring Mav and Fats into play. I don't think he's mobile enough to play that role regularly, though Maddison was never quick. Thankfully we held on to win but used up a lot of luck in doing so.

I seen Edouard play for Celtic a couple of seasons ago and wasn't impressed with him. We were linked to signing him then and I said please don't do it. Then he turns up here on loan. Accepting his game rusty, but he's also Lazy. That level of contribution on Saturday is no way exceptable. Daka at least tries to effect games. And I expect he'll be first choice with Vardy when he returns.

I think it's safe to say with Cooper's approach to the game we are not going to score 9 goals.

I think leaving out Winks was the right decision as he hasn't been at his best recently. He doesn't seem quite fit enough. I do think that we could have used him in an advanced role in the hole to retain better possession of the Ball second half. Giving the defence a chance to breath and get back into shape. The other plus is that Okoli is looking like a good signing and getting better with each game. The next 3 games are crucial.

We need Subs on now . Edouard and Kasey for Vardy and Ayew.

Skipp and NDiddi have given us more pace in front of the defence.

Okoli is looking a great signing. Strong all round and great in the Air. He just needs to be a little careful with his passing.

Did the ref lose his yellow cards

What's the point in having Var so .

Should have been a Penalty.

The players are working harder today.

That's pretty much everyone's opinion. 1. It gives us a proper attacking threat on each wing. 2. It provides more Balance to the Team. 3. It provides an out Ball to relieve pressure. 4. It stretches the opposition at the back providing more room for Vardy and others to get into. 5. Provides better defensive cover especially for JJ on the right from Fats. 6. It gives us two players who can retain possession helping us get up the pitch and getting a breather at the the back.

He's been ok, But we know he can give more. Having said that Coopers sytem makes it easy for the opposition to target him. We really need one of the two new young lads to come good soon which is asking a lot of them. The Italian lad is a little ahead of the Morroccan lad. We should also be trying to work Kasey into the team because he's a good player and knows how to score goals.

Fair comment, I don't think he works hard enough for the team. Also he's needs players running for him but most times he takes the easy option too often. As it's usually only Vardy as the outlet.

That could actually work if both have a mind to compete for the Ball and work defenders hard. Then have Vardy as back up for bringing on after 60 to 70 miutes.

No Winks ?

The issue is in the plural,Games . We've got to beat more than the bottom teams to stay up. I've no issue with Cooper himself. What I do have an issue with is the way he sets us up and the poor signings. Making survival that much harder.

My fear is that we do win this game and it buys him more time.

Agreed, This is why we need him to step up because he is a respected leader in the group and has that within him. The other problem is when we sit deep the opposition target him. Which is when we get in a muddle and concede. Cooper hasn't got a clue how to get the best from the squad we have. He could do with the help from an experienced DOF which we don't have either.

Agreed, But Winks needs to step up and do more than he has been doing. He played a part in conceding both Goals. He needs to step out of defence more when we do have the Ball and create scoring opportunities. Skipp and Wilf can cover for him.
