Well that makes me feel even worse. You have to love how Top was so keen to hog the trophy yet so petulant about getting so much criticism for last season. Can't have it both ways pal.

Not gonna lie it does cross my mind sometimes that I used to go on my own on a Tuesday night in League one but couldn't attend that.

The hilarious thing is some of our players absolutely used chatGPT last season. Anything with "unwavering support". I think Rodgers statement had it in too.

There was a horse running at 18.15 called Enzo Maresca. Wtf? 😂

It's painfully obvious how much everyone uses AI now to generate this kind of shit.

And yet he's Brusell's wet dream because he can pass 2 yards to his centre back. Enzo will probably ask us to bid £25m for him when Mads leaves

I love any particular load

Kolo Toure isnt here to leak it anymore

Ryan Bennett is Liz Truss

Fastest I'd seen Gary Taylor-Fletcher run was off the pitch when we all invaded.

This is such a loaded question

I like Daka. There I said it.

Don't forget Enzo has been involved in football long enough to know 17 point gaps always disappear. I don't know how much more shit I can take. Even this massive lard arse serving me in Farmfoods looked at my Leicester Jacket and said times are rough aren't they? Yes they are Gareth. Just scan my fish fingers please.

So 78 points after 32 games by not even playing that well was just completely unexpected? We were swapping the whole XI for games and easily winning. I don't know what is bonkers about it? I think Enzo has managed to fool some of you into thinking this squad is so much worse than it is by his sheer mismanagement. In the Premier League it was there for all to see how many issues we had, but some of you fail to grasp how massive the gap is. We went down with a squad operating at Europa League levels of spend. It's unprecedented. Just because theyve been so mismanaged and the manager moans like a little bitch doesn't suddenly make them average championship players.

You're spot on, but I thought the whole reason behind this amazing philosophy was it giving extra security at the back in the transition because it keeps 3 players defensive rather than 2 wing backs pushing up and leaving the 2 at the back? The more I delve into it the less and less I like it. It hasn't even shown any examples of how it works better when teams press us. We've got a shocking record against the teams that have done that.

I have noticed how other forums look like prototypes from the 90s. Foxestalk does well in that regard.

Well I don't think it's crazy. Our team were cruising towards that and I didn't once watch us and think Enzo is doing anything incredible to get that return from them. Even rotating most the team (a method he's seemingly forgot) was churning out comfortable wins. The mentality issue last season came from most contracts being up and the likes of Youri not giving a **** to disgusting levels I don't think I've ever seen from professional footballers. It doesn't mean they aren't all miles ahead of most this division in terms of quality. Not to mention we signed Hermansen, Winks, Coady etc who are all above this level. I think it's a disgrace we've ended up in this position.

Other forums seem to have more pride in their team and a bit more optimism. Perish the thought.

We're also absolutely screwed if Top is making footballing decisions. He knows nothing about football.

It won't for me. This squad should absolutely have surpassed 100 points and broke records. I think players that could have been great in this league have been mismanaged ridiculously bad. I don't think when we were getting results in the first part of the season we were doing it because of anything other than bits of individual class. I still now think there is absolutely nothing to suggest these tactics have been the reason for any success we have had. When we go behind you want to see examples of the manager finding solutions. When we teams higher up the league likewise you want to see the same. All we have had is basically 20 wins against bottom half championship teams with a squad worth about 4 times everyone else. There's been absolutely nothing to suggest this philosophy has worked. Even if we do go up. It sounds harsh but I've had to sit through it enough times to know I'm right.

I think there were positives and negatives to us having Kasper, Morgan and Vardy seen in the way they were by the club. One of the positives is shit like this would never have gone on. The risk you always had was them becoming too powerful which I think did happen.

Id love to know what the communication on this was like before he was appointed. I seriously wouldn't be surprised if not playing with wing backs caught them off guard. Then I'd love to know what the conversation was surrounding Cannon. Yes we needed a striker for the AFCON part of the season, but he clearly isn't fancied by Enzo so more money down the spout. The list of ineptitude goes on and on.

I just think a project is something you invest in when we were at the Puel stage or just after. Not in a promotion at all costs season. I will still think it if we go up. I don't think the likes of Rudkin even realised that appointing Enzo will mean abandoning our wing backs. He's that inept.

On the point of not playing Cannon - how much has having Enzo as manager set us back financially just from a picking players perspective? The whole philosophy involving no wing backs meant Kristensen who'd just been bought for £15m went out on loan. Coady signed and given god knows what in wages when we could have just used Nelson. Souttar new signing for £10m+ or whatever it was, non existent. The list goes on. Those in charge have wasted huge amounts of money and the appointment of Enzo has just compounded that further.

I just go on YouTube after the match. I haven't watched Championship highlights since Maniche and Steve Claridge.
