  1. It´s a bit strange. They bought him even though he was out for 3 months injured, then from mid-January onwards he was kept out of the team by Daka, who they´d spent the previous summer trying to get rid of.
  2. His constant presence in the team and the fact that he is captain (since no-one else is guaranteed a place in the team?) show the lack of quality in the squad. To be fair to the recruitment section, it is a catch 22 situation, as it was in the summer (with a likely points deduction): any player good enough to come here and keep us up won´t come because we´ve got 1 foot back in the Championship.
  3. Strange that that incident wasn´t reviewed on VAR, or replayed on TV. It could well have been a pen, or perhaps he slipped.
  4. I was there in 87 too. Was it still a plastic pitch? I was there in 81 when Alan Young tore his ACL on the plastic. I was also at the train station after they beat in March, they weren´t quite so loud and cocky yesterday! Still, 4500 is very good support. Also, thanks to QPR for sealing our promotion by beating Leeds.
  5. That´s exactly what happened in 1978. We were worse than now - our top scorer scored 4 league goals I think.
  6. He shouldn´t be in the team, but I don´t blame him. He wasn´t good enough when he arrived and hasn´t improved one jot since, which doesn´t say much for the recruitment and coaching at the club.
  7. Not even a top-half Championship player. How he still gets in the team is a mystery. I´d rather have Ayew up front. Despite the criticism that Ayew gets on this web site, I think he is not too bad. Yes he is slow but he´s scored a few goals and can hold the ball up.
  8. Ironically, it was against Newcastle about 19 months ago.
  9. Unless they´ve got a massive mirror
  10. They could appoint Vardy, then he wouldn´t be able to moan or rant (or not so much). If things went badly he could have a word with Top and get himself sacked.
  11. I imagine that all clubs, especially those like Leicester that are multi-million pound operations, would always have a managerial replacement more or less in place in case the current manager is a failure (and gets sacked) or does well (and gets poached). Like Cloughie used to say, don´t sell a player until you´ve got his replacement ligned up.
  12. Perhaps Cooper will go back to Forest, as their new "Referees Critic"/"Whinger" or whatever Clattenburg´s job title was. Or he could join the VAR crew at Burton since he´s the leading expert on football laws.
  13. Football players are like politicians - nobody likes to see them out on the town or even laughing. But it´s galling to see them acting like this. They´d better get a point or 3 at Brentford.
  14. Certain changes were inevitable - imagine what would happen if Vardy (even at 37) or Mads had played and got injured. We have a biq squad but the problem is the lack of quality, whatever the abilities of the manager. Edouard can´t even start in the reserves - that says a lot
  15. Perhaps they read the small ads in the Mercury: "PL team will consider reasonable loan offers for little-used forward. Also, 2nd hand rabbit hutch , 10 quid"
  16. What about Antonio from West Ham? He might do a job for us for one season.
  17. I would prefer Antonio from West Ham. Not a fantastic player but he could a job for us for one season.
  18. I would prefer Antonio from West Ham. Not a fantastic player but he could a job for us for one season.
  19. I had never rated him previously but last season he seemed to do better, in terms of goals and assists. We need to realise that money is tight (I suppose). He can´t possibly be worse than Daka.
  20. The sooner he leaves the better (same goes for Daka) - no way should they offer him a new contract. I thought he´d scored goals in the Championship but even at that level his general play was poor and his scoring record poorer. Also, he always looks so miserable. I´d rather have McAteer or Cannon in the team
