If we were to go up again it just shows you how difficult it is for a promoted club to buy anyone decent. Justin was absolutely horrific consistently. What irked me the most with him was that he always played that safe ball back inside when potentially in good attacking positions. He couldn't defend either and went through a spell last season where you wondered if he had completely lost all ability. Possibly the deal of the season this. He'd have been on a decent wedge and to get a fee for him is immense.

The way forward I think is definitely Ricardo at RB with a license to get forward with Hamza in midfield with Winks. It's not ideal but I think that's the strongest midfield and means Skipp and Soumare are nowhere near the team. For all Choudhury's criticism he adds bite to the midfield and you can never accuse him of not trying.

The way I see it is that £12m for McAteer is great but this deal points to the problem with Rudkin. He seems to hold out for ridiculous money so the amount of reasonable offers we've rejected ultimately has led to players stinking the place out and then leaving on a free. We'd have certainly rejected £6m -£8m (a completely reasonable fee for McAteer) so like a broken clock, Rudders is bound to get it right from time to time but this is no way to run a football club long term.

How we could do with a man of your integrity in the club right now. Have a great day Nigel

Vesty was outpaced by the lino at one point...

Someone needs to throw a few hooks at Ayew, Justin, Soumare and Winks. They should be fighting with how bad they are. Complete embarrassment.

Anyone got the Fatowl commentator?

Very very very concerning.

You mean like he did setting up Winks for his goal?

Jonny Allan?

On the same day AI also found the cure for many diseases!

I'm not sure what you mean by that!

Just bumping this in hope!

Looking for a favour. There's a couple of tickets I need bringing up to the Preston match (person lives right between Melton Mowbray and Oakham) If there's any Foxestalkers who could help collect the tickets for me and meet me in Preston tomorrow I'd be very grateful. £10 for your troubles when we meet tomorrow 👍 PM me if you can help. Thanks!

In all fairness well put.

Another 30 odd likes incoming. I'll start you off!

Perfect. I'll PM you...

I mean you've got 27 likes off this comment which surprises me (although I do think some people jump on the bandwagon when they see a well liked post "better like it too") 😉 Was he 27 likes not a leader on the pitch? Really? Come on people - he would get stuck in, back his teammates up, organise the press, be in player's ears, not sulk.. And most importantly score goals which is leading by example?

I'm holding out for "An Audience with Steve Cooper"

Banter?

Cancelling DDs - I think it's a law on your side and you're entitled to do it mate.

Looking for two tickets for tomorrow if anyone has any spare please?

Has this closed now for everyone? I was going to buy a membership to get some but the game's not appearing I don't think anymore...

I remember that video he did with Bobby Reid where he basically just blew smoke up his arse for 10 mins telling Bobby what a great player he was and how lucky Leicester were to have him. Absolute satire.
