Collymore

Tinpot stream just started on Sky+. I can hear them doing their mic tests!

When was the last time we shifted deadwood for a fee?

Yeah it does doesn't it. I actually think he thinks he's appeasing the fans by doing it. Crazy what's going on his mind.

Joseph Jayden in for Justin James?

Rudders probably paid him a wage meaning he could afford to do so now.

Did anyone see BDCR kicking the ball out at HT completely on his own? Don't think I've ever seen that. He looked like a loner kid down the park. Could no coach or other player go out and join him? Ridiculous lack of planning all over the place. It screams lack of care and attention.

Don't think I can recall feeling so strongly about wanting a manager out so quickly. Players look clueless. Bizarre substitutions and tactics. What's even more worrying, he said in his post match interview "I'd do the same again" so he looks like a stubborn **** too. Needs to get gone. Quick.

Absolutely hideous debut. Looked like he had won a competition.

The club would do better focusing on not running contracts down or buying players like Soumare. The fact we've just offered Vesty a contract on most likely ridiculous money then binned him shows the rot still runs deep. We're ran with joker decision makers that have made decisions that beggars belief. They're borrowing on stupid terms and spending it stupidly, most of the time.

I'm actually going to end up watching Stoke V Hull on a Friday night. Social life is reached a new low!

I'll hold my hands up. Ndidi has to start in his advanced role. He deserves it. I'd like to see Mavadidi and Fatawu start with Ayew a choice off the bench. It's difficult to get Elkhannous and Buonanotte in the side. I'm leaning towards Elkhannous for Winks possibly and letting him have a go at getting the ball from the defence, beating any press and advancing the ball. That's harsh on Buonanotte but that's a nice problem to have and keeps people on their toes during the game. Edouard will be a good addition being able to replace both Vardy or Mavadidi rather having to rely on BDCR. I think Ricardo is the other obvious one for Justin. It would be a nice surprise but can't see it happening. I'd go with: Mads Riccardo. Faes. Okoli. Kristiansen Skipp. Elkhannous Fatawu. Ndidi. Mavadidi Vardy Potential subs: Buonanotte for Ndidi/Elkhannous Edouard for Vardy/Mavadidi Ayew for Fatawu (if protecting lead in last 15) Winks - very motivated to come on and prove himself in midfield.

Absolutely stupid question from whoever in the press conference asked "has Vardy still got his appetite?" Cooper all to eager to answer the question we all know the answer to - might as well have asked "will the sun rise tomorrow?" Why not ask about Ricardo instead? Has he got his appetite? Yes, he has too I'm sure but at least it will have forced Steve into elaborating on his thought process and thoughts for the future.

Is it just me or is the elephant in the room in that conference people treading around the Premier League trying to deduct us points through doing us over on VAR after losing their court battle. Cooper wants to get it out there so it doesn't happen again and become a pattern. Massive conspiracy that but there was a lot of talk about it and he was acting a bit shifty and being very careful with his words in my opinion.

I'll give this the time it deserves later. Awesome stuff.

Looks like an upgrade on KDH for less money dare I say?

Yeah really like him. Don't want to get a head of myself but he has all the attributes to move on for big money in the future.

Trouble with Wilf he either looks like an alien beamed down with absolute out of this world physicality, touch, creativity, speed and technique to someone picked off the street 30 mins before kickoff who hasn't played the game before. Never anything in-between. You can usually tell after 15 mins which you're going to get.

What worries me is that Cooper seems to have this 'hands off approach' and maybe (possibly a good thing) the players actually just played their game first half with not too much input from Steve. As soon as Coops had to influence the game and try to change things tactically it all turned to s**t.

Yeah but we can only comment on things as they happen, if he had come on and made a goal line clearance we'd be singing his praises but he's took the win away so what do you expect? People are venting their frustration and after seeing your weekend ruined by one single silly mistake it's naturally going to be a place to come and let off steam. I'd imagine the most upset person will be Connor himself. Bet he's absolutely livid.

For me the first half of the game was exactly what I wanted. Leicester with the right to be in the Prem playing with confidence, on the front foot and having the right to win the game. Then Cooper went into his shell. I don't mind us seeing games out (but with some form of attacking outlet) and I wouldn't have minded Hamza coming on for Ndidi but to basically have 9 outfield defensive players on at the end was criminal. I say 9 because Fatawu wasn't getting forward at all and we literally had Vardy with 90 mins in his legs as our only advanced player. When you're 2-1 up you should be looking for quick direct players to come on knowing that the opposition is bound to give it a go. If you throw on defensive player after defensive player it becomes attack V defence. We gave Palace an easy opportunity with little risk to get forward. Surely Coops should know this? We should be having a very good chance at winning that game 1-3 or at least if we do finish 2-2 we've had some brilliant opportunities to score ourselves. Cooper. You better learn quickly or you can ****off. Also what the hell is Coady doing there? With all that experience. Absolutely shocking from him.

1 - BDCR needs to be binned. Bueanotte needs to be in the side. 2 - Ndidi need to be replaced with Skipp. 3. I feel we need to be more dynamic with Justin and Kristiansen taking it turns to venture forward making it harder for the opposition to setup and giving us more options. With this, Ricardo should be considered to play Justin's position. 4. He needs to decide on the CB pairing now and go with it, not chop and change. He'll know more than anyone the importance of a consistent defence. I'm thinking it might be Faes Okoli for now but I have a feeling we might see Coady Okoli when Coady is fit again. I think they'd complement each other well. 5. Cooper needs to take some risks. Not massive ridiculous risks but I think fans will respect him if we are seen utilising our attacking strengths more even if this doesn't equate to points straight away. Setting up not to lose, which is unlikely not to work anyway, can be sensible at first maybe when assessing squad, but I really hope he can grow a pair and be more proactive going forward.

You mean the Telegraph? Yeah very sad. Their most recent podcast is heart wrenching.

It's not so much the skills that impress me, they'll get coached out of him no doubt, it's more the vision the lad has for a forward pass. It was what I first noticed about Mahrez in his early days.

How does he get into that Wales side. They must have an absolutely awful pool of keepers.

Rudkin got praise when we won the league and punched above our weight there after. He's the visible (yet silent) person that we know has a lot of control over our club. I'm one of his biggest critics but equally happy to praise him when we do good. I can't believe the confusion and lack of understanding of why people wouldn't be pretty venomous towards him, especially with the pretty obvious direct negative links to football operations. Leicester means a lot to so many people and emotions run high at the best of times. To question why people call him out makes me wonder if people are either too close to the problem and have been brainwashed somehow or don't understand the problem at all. The middle ground is reality. We've been a sh*t show.
