We didn't play to our wingers' strengths last season. We allowed teams to double up on them. Under Maresca, as it was for De Zerbi's Brighton, it was about finding your wide forwards at the point of maximum opportunity. That's half the reason for playing around in what looks like boring possession for possession's sake. It's no coincidence that under Maresca, both wingers shone. Granted, we had KDH and Ndidi supporting them, which helps. But under Cooper, RVN, Cifuentes and Rowett, we essentially just gave the ball to whatever wingers were playing and asked them to do something magical. Fatawu has the materials to be a very good player. In a good team under a competent coach, he'll fly.

The problem with Martin, realistically, I think, is that for Southampton promotion was the target and, yes, he achieved that but they were at times very inflexible, naive defensively and got battered a few times, not least by us. Once in the Premier League, he oversaw an almost record breakingly bad season. Then he woefully underachieved at Rangers and, before Southampton, he was a bit meh at MK Dons and Swansea in terms of results. So the signs are that he isn't quite as good as he thinks and it's the controlling, possession-based football, which many fans have turned and are turning against, that is getting him decent jobs. At some clubs, it might work. But the signs are that he's less able to implement it effectively than he thinks. Because of all that, a huge proportion of our fans won't want him here. And sometimes that gets whipped up into exaggerated hatred and piss taking about him personally.

I'd back him the moment he puts on a Leicester shirt, but just magine if we sign Lyndon Dykes and Sheffield Wednesday sign Jamie Vardy. It would be absolute bedlam on here.

Then there are those that just decide to enter a roundabout when they feel like it cutting across traffic that's already on the roundabout. Feel like this has become much more common in the last few years.

Shame about Onanaye, thought he looked really tidy at the start of the season. Good about Wilson-Brown, Cartwright and Neale. Be good to see what Neale can do on loan with the other two maybe being brought into the first-team fold. Hope Ali, King and Briggs sign especially.

Just had the joy of catching up on the last few days of this thread. Wonderful

Think it's a little bit sad if English sides hoovering up the European trophies becomes a consistent thing. Can't knock Villa as an individual club, they've gambled and it's paying off for them. One European trophy and a couple of seasons in the CL over the last few years. Palace having a good chance of winning the ECL, West Ham winning it, Spurs nabbing the Europa League last season. Individually, obviously they're going to want to win it. But surely it's less exciting when you can say at the start of the season that an English team should win the trophy and then one does.

Didn't Vardy say precisely that he didn't want to play for a club in the same division as Leicester? I guess Sheffield Wednesday is a different kettle of fish, though, especially as his chances to go back there are fast running out. It'd be horrible to see him lining up against us but he deserves to do whatever he likes. Genuinely, the club need to build the statue already. Name a stand after him. Name the stadium after him. Do something.

Always have to bear in mind with Alves and Braybrooke that they both suffered the kind of injuries that have ended careers in decades past. Getting back to the level they were at while developing the kind of in-game knowhow in men's football is always going to take time when coming back from setbacks like that. The fact that we're probably going to be at Braybrooke's level next season is one of the biggest unintended upsides of our whole disastrous fall from grace. He could come of age as we restart our rise, same with Alves if he can stay fit, and then we have Cartwright coming back who's had a season in a tough league, Monga and Page still here (for now), Aluko hopefully being the first-choice RB, Otchere, Hutchinson, Briggs, Carr, Neale, Gray, Ali plus probably a few more begging for game time/a loan move to test them, I think we could - if we're lucky and smart - build something phoenix-like from the ashes of this ruinous period in our history. I'm sceptical, based on the people making the decisions, but I'm always hopeful.

I'd hope with Tony Bloom's input they'll at least make it a three-horse race most seasons and win at least one in the next few seasons. They have the backing and the knowhow to achieve more with fewer resources, and if they continue to challenge their ability to spend money will increase and therefore give them a better chance of winning it. I think they're set up to win it sooner rather than later.

Absolute sickener this. After their woes earlier in the season under Rodgers and Nancy, it's horrible that they're able to come back and win it. More competition will strengthen that league, but obviously Celtic fans won't care.

And a bonus one

Another variation

Ask and you shall receive.

I'd be well up for us going with a less prestige brand just for a bit more variety and, I would presume, a more club-specific design. Joma, Errea, Hummel, Reebok, Kappa, Diadora, someone like that.

Did a home kit myself. I tried to get the cinquefoil as a 'watermark'. I tried several times but no joy. This was the best one. So just imagine the four-leafed thing is the cinquefoil. Took several goes to get the latest Walkers logo as well.

Needs a proper run doesn't he. If he gets a good pre-season, heavy involvement in a sequence of games and no managerial upheaval, I think he'll fly.

Page, Braybrooke and Aluko at the very least seem ready don't they. I feel like Evans has the determination and will to force his way in at some point next season. And if Alves can stay fit, he's absolutely ready for regular League One football. Otchere deserves a chance. I think Gray, Hutchinson, Briggs, Carr, Neale, Motsi and possibly Ali could also get some decent minutes over the course of the season.

I also did this (I promise I'll stop now!) I went for a Leicester Fosse sash but with the FA Cup-winning colour scheme (but flipped, of course). I wasn't sure whether a full colour sponsor or monochrome looked best.

Something like this? I went with Pepsi as the sponsor because they should've got the sponsorship instead of BC.Game

I know. It's a random model generated by ChatGPT. Curiously I never asked it to provide a model for the kit, only to generate the kit itself. When I messed about with the prompts it churned out a completely different bloke but I wasn't happy with the design so didn't post it.
