  1. Harrison Burrows contract up in the summer too. I mentioned him a while back ad a potential cheap pick up to mould in to a LCB or inverted full back.
  2. Leeds have now dropped points in 3 of their last 6 games I think.
  3. It will be €2m per season across 5 years if we have. Fatawu will be £14m across 5 years (£2.8m) which is the least of our worries.
  4. Hermansen Justin (DO NOT PLAY INVERTED) Vestergaard Coady Doyle Praet Winks KDH Yunus Vardy Mavididi
  5. Especially as they play them in their next 3 games where they won't yet be out of the play off running.
  6. I tend to agree. I think he suits a two up front system and him being the slightly withdrawn role to find space. That said, he looked much better for us with Yunus in the 10 role behind him rather than our normal set up of two 8's. If Ndidi is back up to full throttle and there's more fluidity to our attacks then he could also thrive a bit more as he'd get space to unleash his strongest asset - finishing.
  7. I've had that norris from thesecondtier podcast dig up a bookmarked tweet of mine where I questioned their stance in the summer that Ellis Simms was a bargain at £8m but Tom Cannon was overpriced for the same fee. They both had pretty identical half season stats last season. Simms has now had a ridiculous 2 months and Cannon barely plays but it was a flawed call at the time.
  8. I've been sent some stuff from a few fans that were drinking after the game opposite the ground and when the players came out to get back on the bus he was brilliant with the fans. Stood chatting for a while and agreed we needed to improve significantly.
  9. Same. Do not play inverted full back, we can still do most of our way of playing and keep a proper shape defensively. They will try and flood the flanks.
  10. We play through the lines against teams so much quicker and fluidly if Doyle is on the left. Teams cannot get their banks of players behind the ball as easily, I hope he comes back in again soon as Justin hasn't been very effective down that side for a few months now.
  11. Was a class act after the Bristol City defeat with fans too (outside of the ground)
  12. Has formed a real bond with the Leicester faithful
  13. Glad he came on and had an impact. Still isn't decisive enough in front of goal but I like his creativity. If players like Sarmineto can come on and effect games most weeks, a player of Yunus's talent can as well. Big part to play over these remaining 6 games 🙏
  14. Had a brick in his left boot 2nd half, cannot get the weight of pass right for love nor money. With the right coaching and buy in from his part he is set to become a top player but he's a long way to go. His defensive work is exemplary though, which makes him such an important team player as the creative stuff is ticking over as well.
  15. Our defensive record for a team with the amount of quality we have is actually becoming quite ordinary. Freak mistakes will happen when you play out from the back and you have to weigh it up in the entire process but we actually give away a lot of cheap goals that aren't a consequence of the system but just appalling concentration and desire. 2024 we've defended very poorly overall IMO.
  16. Patson Daka is going to score today
  17. Ellis Simms is world class
  18. Already beaten these twice this season and they caused us problems for periods of both games. The same with Millwall who we face on Tuesday too. Got to be on it and make it 3 from 3 against both, we can no longer afford anyone a point against us. That's the mentality required.
  19. The international break may well have stunted Norwich's rhythm. They looked very poor against us and had struggled by all accounts in the game they came back and won vs Plymouth on Good Friday. This is the game they need to get up for, but Wagner is another manager who's sides are incredibly streaky and can suddenly drop off for large periods. Coventry are the more resilient of the two sides. They will relish this today.
  20. Yeah I agree. I actually think he's done worse for them since making all these exciting signings in January. They've been largely disappointing over a similar period to us in 2024.
  21. Seagrave will be like a ghost town.
  22. I'm not so sure PSR has caused this, the exponential popularity of the Premier League and there sheer wealth has caused this. Every PL side has benefitted from that in recent years vs the rest of Europe hence why muck like Bournemouth can sign players ahead of the likes of AC Milan, Marseille etc. The gulf between the big 6 and the rest is commercial revenue. Spurs didn't increase theirs massively because of PSR to the detriment to the rest of the league, they have had a specific plan that at times has frustrated their fanbase but it's enabled them to stay relatively close to the rest. I suppose the only club right now that is truly hamstrung by PSR vs the big 6 is Newcastle. If it was unlimited spending they would make an absolute mockery of the rest, including Man City and I'm not so sure that would be a wholesome experience for the rest of us. PSR in its current guise is flawed and it needs changing but I don't see what can occur that really levels the playing field.
  23. He means us. One of only 6 clubs that win multiple major honours.
  24. Commercial revenue is their only way, or getting access to Champions League repeatedly. I'm not against unlimited owner investment but it would not benefit most clubs and probably not us. It will further inflate transfer fees and wages too. Anyway, this all seems pretty futile as UEFA don't seem to be changing their rules so any club qualifying for Europe will eventually have to comply with spending only 70% of their revenue.
