Impressed with him when he came on. Some really important tackles.

That was a red card lads, sorry. The Oxford players did everything they could to get him sent off, but still a red card.

I'd have 100% taken a point at half time. I did feel there was a chance we could have nicked it though.

And among those signed are Godfrey, Ings, Chong, Tanganga, Matos and McGuiness. All players that have played in the championship or have substantial experience in English football. You're not telling me that this is the groundbreaking AI driven recruitment model that their ownership were after.

Why is Hamer still at Sheffield United?

Brendan Rodgers is one of our most successful managers ever, and at its best it was fabulous under him. However, he is without doubt the most damaging manager this club has had since Peter Taylor. More so than Ian Holloway. Although Holloway took us to our lowest point and had a team good enough to stay up, we'd been circling the drain for a few years. Rodgers is one of the best and one of the worst managers in our history. It bothers me because it really didn't need to be that way. Had he gone 8 months earlier, he would probably be considered a legend.

There's a recency bias from my perspective, I'm sure of it.

Did the way he conducted himself leave a bad taste? Certainly. But he had it all as a centre back. He was far more complete than any of the central defenders you've mentioned. During the first 6/7 months under Rodgers he was putting in some of the smoothest performances from a centre half imaginable.

Strictly in terms of ability, if you had to put a Leicester team together, what would it be? As I say, it's based strictly on individual ability, therefore, I'm not going just with the 15/16 team. I was born in 1994. I'm going with: Schmeichel Ricardo Evans Huth Fuchs Kanté Cambiasso Mahrez Madisson Barnes Vardy Goalkeeper, RW and Striker were the most obvious ones for me. Almost everything else is debatable. I found the centre backs particularly difficult. In terms of all around footballing ability Fofana should be in there. However, Huth is defensively the best CB I've seen and Evans at his best was the most complete. It's also difficult to leave Morgan out of any best Leicester team. I really wanted to put a couple of players from the Martin O'Neil era in, but I couldn't think who would honesty get in. You could make a case for Izzet in midfield, but we've probably had better midfielders in the past decade. If you wanted two strikers, you could make a case for Heskey upfront with Vardy.

The only answer...

Ipswich are an interesting one. I tipped them for the title at the start of the season and I'm still sticking by it. Szmodics, Jack Clark, Philogene, Hirst, Greaves, Akpom, Davies and Furlong are all very good players at this level. However, it's a very high squad turnover and they've taken a big risk letting big players of their previous promotion campaigns (Broadhead, Chaplin, Woolfenden, Morsy, Hutchinson etc.) leave. If Ipswich click, then they'll be very hard to stop.

This could be our most inspired signing. If he stays fit and can find the kind of form he showed at Middlesbrough, then we really do have a player on our hands.

I don't doubt that, but him sulking might effect the type of move he gets.

OK, fair enough. He's now been given those three players. Time will tell whether they are of sufficient quality (the striker definitely feels like a punt) but we are now at least able to field a starting 11 that is more balanced and better on paper than what we have put out in our last two league games.

The ball is in his court. He can still be an important player for us this season if he decides to get his head down. Alternatively, he can just sit there sulking and rotting away in the reserves.

Liverpool should absolutely snot this league.

They often get announced later. That's what I'm willing to tell myself anyway.

Two seasons ago he scored 8 league goals for Birmingham with two of them coming against us in one game. It would be brilliant if he could chip in with 5 or 6 goals this season.

Far better him going on loan to a League 1 club with promotion aspirations than him going on loan to a club like Sheffield Wednesday in the championship.

I fully get this, but we have two gaping holes in the side that need addressing first.

Injures are the only thing that have stopped him tbf. He scored 16 in 26 games two seasons ago. Would have easily topped 25 if he had the whole season.

7 goals and 14 assists in the championship last season. Decent numbers to be honest. Spending money on him when we already have Fatawu, Mavididi, Monga, BDR and Ayew, and we are crying out for a CM and a striker would be ludicrous though.

A big difference is that Page is playing centrally where it's far busier and you generally have less space and time. Therefore, his lack of physicality (he's only 17!) and perhaps naivety in thinking he has more time on the ball are more exposed. I think in sux months time we could see how good of a player he really is. There are many promising signs already.

If I could hand pick two players from the championship to go into our starting 11 they'd be Gus Hamer and Josh Sargent. I think they'd give us everything to go onto win this league. Neither will happen though obviously.
