3 for Currie now. He's added some spice to the attack

Yeh, surprising he's not played more, he's quicker than some of their other seamers.

Well i think my point would be that you wouldn't sell memberships, apart from bundles for white ball games. So red ball games would be free everyone and you'd benefit from increases catering sales. Then at some point you'd charge for a streaming season ticket. I was watching a bit of Surrey v Somerset and their stream was excellent with great commentary from Dan Norcross and Phil Walker. The Hampshire stream had Simon Hughes and Lancs has Bumble, so it's getting more professional. We have Richard Rae...

Just waiting for the declaration now.

Sparse crowd from the stream, though that's not surprising, maybe more will turn up in the afternoon. If entry was free, would that make any difference or would you get people turning up that the club would rather not have? Was ever the problem though, even in the 80s I used to go during my school holidays and there weren't many there. Even if I lived in Leicester, I don't think I would go as I am too busy. What works best for me is actually the streaming, where I can work and have the stream open on another window. I would probably pay a subscription for an improved stream.

Agreed. Great coach, but so far he's been too conservative and lacking in assertiveness for a good manager. There's a long history of excellent AMs who have not made the transition to manager. Paul Clement is a most notable and recent example.

Looks like we are a bit thin on the bowling front, or could be just the Kookaburra ball. Warwickshire on course for a very high total - 887 is the record back in 1896

Good number 2 and coach, but not a number 1.

Trevaskis only needs 7 more for his highest first class score, but hopefully he can get a 100 tomorrow. Seems a good lad from his commentary stint last week and a bit of a cricket badger.

Not excusing our tepid display, but some credit needs to be given to Millwall and the way they set up and their commitment. They gave us very little space in midfield and never stopped running. They were fighting for survival and pride. We can expect very similar at Plymouth on Friday. Most teams have raised their game against us this season

Needs to be some sort of resolution if it's true, he can't sit out the whole season (we can't afford to pay a player and not have him play) and Alfonso has just signed a new contract. They might be able to organise a loan somewhere else, if there can't be a mediated resolution.

Correct, especially this season. The whole system is not fit for purpose. If they want something like this it should be over a longer period of time as it doesn't account for the unforeseen changes that can occur over a short period of time and the impact of uncontrollable outside events on football and club ownership. The other issue are changes in the transfer market post COVID which have made it more difficult for clubs to re-coup fees to cover losses.

Poor Michael Finan, could only bowl 5 overs for Northants as he went for 44, at 8.80 and over!

That 119 partnership was a 9th wicket record for Leicestershire.

Good batting line-up with Scriven at 9, but Wright is a big miss, not just for his bowling, but his useful runs as well.

Yes, Rae said there was no timeline for him being available and it was for personal reasons, which could mean anything. Roman Walker has a bad side strain and will be out for a while, so we are down to 4 seamers, with Mulder, Hull, Walker and Wright not available. Let's hope nobody steps on a football tomorrow morning. As you say, Rehan only available for this game. Already at the point where another loan looks necessary.

Photos of both of them in the nets on the club instagram page, so they should available, assuming not injuries.

Confidence has definitely gone, they looked much worse after the goal yesterday. Faes did talk about not leaving because he had not been guaranteed first team football with any club that he had been linked to, you I can only imagine that he had a discussion around being first choice with the manager and to be fair he has been part of one of the best defences in the league for most of the season - we've rarely conceded more than one goal. The problem has been finishing more recently, or not shooting when the chance presents itself. Daka missed chances and wasn't brought on yesterday after Vardy's missed efforts, so the manager must wonder who he can rely on.

I agree we over-achieved and it was also because quite a few teams were in flux or needed a manager change to improve. Perhaps some credit to Enzo though for taking us above expectations for so long. Tactically there is a problem now, as teams have a clear plan to set up against us; Enzo is far too conservative he needs to takes more risks. Perhaps this is due to being sacked so quickly in his only previous job. Yesterday I thought Ndidi, Ricardo and Vardy didn't look 'match sharp', coming back from injuries, so that's another consideration. He also needed 3 transfer windows to sort this squad out, which was in a horrendous mess. He's only had one, as January was a self-imposed embargo. What we needed yesterday was a solid championship player like Jason Knight to come on in Midfield, instead we have Akgun, who is a bit of a liability with poor decision making skills - do you roll the dice with him or keep Ndidi on, when he looks exhausted?

Scorecard for yesterday's friendly. Will Davis is mentioned though I though he had been released. https://assets.edgbaston.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/2024-03-26-WAR-LEI-match-scorecard.pdf?_gl=1*1rm3pe4*_ga*MjA0NDMwNDMzOC4xNzExNDk3ODg5*_ga_ZHXWMN2QK2*MTcxMTQ5Nzg4OS4xLjAuMTcxMTQ5Nzg5MC4wLjAuMA..

Doesn't press or block when he should and positioning all over the place. Playing like he doesn't want to get injured. All he's good for at the moment is wagging his finger as soon as a decision goes against us

I'll take 1-1 now.

She's the one on the left

Be proud of what you have done and keep trying to improve (that mark was amazing). Focus on the positives. Being a good friend is a learning process, so don't be surprised if friends let you down now and then. Set your own standards and try to model how you'd like to be treated, some of that will rub off on others. I'm 54 now. I've had awful times in my 20s; 30s and 40s much better, but now things are terrible because of loss and divorce. However, I know I have to look after myself first and foremost and then I'm in a position to look after and be good to others.
