Collymore

He should be sacked on the pitch at HT along with the whole hierarchy. Probably get the loudest cheer of the night.

You wouldn't blame any player wanting to get away from this s**tshow.

With a bit of a rest for him since last game I think he'll be really sharp later. Absolutely love the bloke and for me he's the only glimmer of positivity to think he can roll on some more years at the club. Cannon (now gone), Daka and Édouard all being absolutely diabolical is putting tremendous strain on Vardy at the moment. Maybe if we had a decent backup striker we could rotate him a little bit more and let him recover but thanks to years of transfer mismanagement, we can't do this. It's absolutely abhorrent that some are turning on him though. They should be ashamed and have no place on his forum or club and if I was @Mark I'd be dishing out bans. When Vardy has a poor game for his standards I think it's hard to tell his fitness levels most of the time. I'm sure he plays while injured sometimes rather than resting up as we have absolutely no other options. From what I can tell, coaches let him run his own regime a lot of the time, recovering in his cryo-chamber at home and trusting him with his own training schedule and managing his own alien like body. I'm sure he was carrying a long term injury when we got relegated, he looked off the pace because of this but even back then we had Nacho who was winding his career at the club down and no one really to offer anything else. To think we have had a decade to sort a replacement out for Vardy and are still in this position is just another tick on the owners balls up list. It's a ridiculous situation. Recently, Vardy's been showing glimpses of his ridiculous pace at 38. He's made some very quick defenders think a bit last few games and we're probably seeing more charges forward as we are creating absolutely nothing and he's being forced to take things into his own hands. He was a goal keeper glove away from scoring an obscene goal last game and he's being showing other flashes of his 28yo self. We can't blame Vardy. He's getting zero service and until RVN changes shape and line up it's likely to continue. I pray he stays with us next season. Under the right leadership and service he'll easily bag 20 goals in the championship at 39 and we can look forward to 40 year old Vardy in the Premier League the season after.

He's getting pelters on the Sheffield Utd forum - it looks like they're turning on him already! To think we got £10m for him! https://www.s24su.com/forum/threads/cannon.102630/

Alves on!

Back on bench

The most pointless loan I can remember.

The amount of people driving around in thick fog without any lights on at all! It's like 1 out of 3 cars! How can so many people be so oblivious to it!?

We need him back as quickly as we can. I admit, I think I take him for granted sometimes and it feels like I've been taught this lesson before when he's been out. He sometimes looks like he isn't having a great game but I think he must cause the opposition midfield so many headaches just with his presence. Also means Skipp will be no where near the team

July 2047

You would need a conductor at the front for the timing of that one! You'd have half the fans finishing in it in 5 secs with the other half going full on Whitney doing it 30 secs by the book!

What's happening with FB? Best player by miles now can't make the first team but fit enough to come on each time. Absolutely ridiculous

How can someone not have had a quiet word with Ruud and tell him that playing Ward is a recipe for disaster? 1. He's not good enough 2. He's a mistake away from the whole stadium turning on him. After reflecting on yesterday, I find it inexcusable really how he was allowed to start. It shows a distinct lack of attention to detail, I mean it's not even small detail - surely he could hear the Leicester fans at Newcastle taking the piss out of him and it should have been obvious starting him was going to be a red flag to a bull. It really is concerning that there seems a disconnect from the coaches and hierarchy at the club. They seem on a different planet.

I left at the end so the traffic beat me.

In no particular order : Danny Ward.

I can only think you were born in 1842 and at the age of 183 your mind has finally gone!

If he starts Ward today Ruud brings his inevitable "Ruud Out" topic forward by about 10 games I'd say.

Not quite Vardy post production quality.

Now that's how you play the drums!

I'm not going to criticise the players too much as I think there was heightened security at the time but me and my lad a few years back were waiting at Vicarage Road to meet the players after a match. Most didn't even make eye contact, they just jumped straight on the bus as it was all Watford fans shouting to be fair. Then Vardy came. Again, kind of ignored us all and got on the bus, but as he was walking up the stairs of the bus he glanced out of the driver's window with me and my lad waving at him in our Leicester shirts. He turned around, jumped down the stairs, ignored all the Watford fans pleading for his attention and came over for a quick photo and high five. It literally made our year that did! What a guy. I always say they show their true colours when media cameras aren't around. Absolute gentleman and the only one out of 25 players who made an effort/took the risk of saying hello.

Isn't Mercians from the word Mercia which is Cov?

Shame on you.

Thanks for letting me know and welcome to Foxestalk!

Also the bloke I was sat next to who said he was going to sign up to Foxestalk... Register and say hello! (You didn't pick my cap by any chance?)

You would hope and expect for each and every decision made on that pitch there is a reason for it backed up by statistical analysis beforehand and they'd know thousands times more than the average fan. I think fans are pretty good at seeing something not working though, not perhaps why but they can see it's not working. I do wonder sometimes if things are so data driven that then the basics become ignored. "Forget the fact we're getting overrun everywhere over the pitch, we're conceding goals right left and centre, we've got an 8% better chance of getting into the upper left quadrant where we can start phase D if we kick the ball there..."
