...getting him used to the third tier, ready for next season!

....and, yes, I am saying that he (and a few other crap signings!) Were instrumental in this slide!! 😁 I am just praying that this is not a wind up, and that sinking feeling when he is subbed on will be no more!!

Has he really gone? Or is this some kind of cruel journalistic joke? I am not very good with technology but i will attempt to attach two files which show how far the club has fallen from Jan 21 (when he signed) to Jan 26 (present nightmare).The ONLY glimmer of light during that period was the Maresca side that stormed the Championship - and, of course, didn't include TJD (the jogging donkey) - as he was out on loan all season!

Agree - the worst team we've faced. .....however, I have regularly seen a worse side .........

Only 90% of the time????

Just 5 years ago today......

FfS - have we been breaking another EFL rule then? Mebee we could claim that Soumaré was a pitch invader (albeit a very slow and sluggish one)!

Does the lack of distance covered stat actually surprise anyone? With the exception of the last four or five games the coaching/ management staff have actually encouraged laziness and sheer sloth by having Boubakary Soumaré as a guaranteed starter. Without doubt, the other squad members, young and old alike, will have seen him get away with expending the absolute least ammount of energy in each game and yet still get picked - and still get paid way more than themselves (bar 1). Talk about setting the wrong example - he has turned strolling about the pitch and contributing NOTHING into an artform - basically taking the p*ss and yet actively encouraged by the coaches for the first four months of the season. No real surprise then that others follow suit. Is he injured now? or finally dropped? He really does need to be gone this month and take his £80,000 pw wages with him - maybe things will improve then (slightly!!).

I see where you are coming from, but if - and it's a BIG if! - any teams are interested in taking these three then they are likely to be prem or champ teams (who can afford to pay their ridiculous wages), and therefore still in the cup, and therefore not wanting cup-tied players! So leave them on their sofas and give other fringe players a run out.

Corrected it for you!

....Will certainly prepare him for a return to LCFC!

Just seen the stat for aerial duals won - Watford 100% !!! WTF - its been like that for about 4 years. Presume it is down in the training manual for April/May?

Lets hope he ends up the tournament's top scorer! ...... The joy of selling him for £35 M in january! .....And our delight at seeing that cute look of pure pleasure on Top's face when his latest purchase - a new £34M polo pony - arrives at his stables. .....Wonderful.

Yep - even one year makes a difference - we thrashed them 6-2 last season! The worst thing about todays result was that QPR weren't exactly great - in fact, I thought they were pretty crap! It's just so easy to beat Leicester these days - we lose EVERY individual dual and crumble at the slightest pressure, even when it's a poor team we're playing. Pathetic, Weak and lacking one iota of pride.

Agree about physicality. Ulloa was the last decent player who could head the ball when up against a centre half, whilst Stevie Howard was the only one this century who would punish the centre half or just shove him out the way. As fans we say, When Fats or Mav or Monga or overlappers are wide, "cross the darned ball" - then we look whats in the box and say "Nah -- don't bother!". Be great to have someone who could challenge for ANY high ball in the opponents area!! Just a thought.

Elsewhere? For me it seems to work well when Soumaré, Winks and Faes are elsewhere ie. Not in the squad!

I'm guessing we'll be bullied out of this (as usual). Meek surrender on the cards.

Soumaré is not better than my granny (and she died in 1972).

People asking 'how did we lose to Hull?' Well, much the same way we've lost to most of the teams we've played in the last season-and-a-half: we are pushed around and bullied in a way that is, frankly, pathetic. We have no physicality, no strength, no stamina and no bite in tackles or tussles or any aspect of the game. We are a bunch of weeds. And why? Where did this come from? I can't ever remember the likes of Taggart or Walsh or Elliot or Steve Howard or Huth or Kanté letting the opposition walk all over them, and I don't get why the current lot allow it - Jeez - we have 11 in the team, they're not pygmies (even up to 6' 7"!!) and they, presumably have a fitness coach (?) and fitness regimes. It is embarrassing. They seem to have no pride and certainly no fight. ....and it will be the same tomorrow - local pride at stake - but we will just roll over as usual. Derby County versus Weeds United.

Interesting thought, that! With West Brom winning, we are now below midlands rivals Coventry, Stoke, Birmingham, WBA and Derby. Add the Prem clubs Wolves, Villa and Forest - you're right: bottom of the pile. The worry is that this time next year we'll be below Lincoln, Northampton, Mansfield, Peterborough, Notts Co, Burton and Wallsall!! From best in England to 16th in the midlands in ten years. Good 'un, eh, Top???

You're probably right - I wondered why he'd stopped scoring!

They will have seen how Wilder set up to pressure our weedy lot and what happened. They will crowd us like crazy - yet we'll carry on with the tippy-tappy b*llocks and concede early. Carlton Morris (proper striker) to terrify our defence and score more in this match than our 3 strikers have bagged in 18 games!

.....there yer go!!

I've already won my 16/1 bet on a City red card. With this Ref I wont be winning the 100/1 bet (each team player sent off)!

Christ on a bike!!!! Soumaré and Ayew to the rescue!!!!
