The interest in Chaplin is only rumoured as far as I'm aware but he's currently on £15k a week. I would guess based on our previous record we would offer him more than that to convince him to come to league one so £20-25k a week. Quite a distance from the £40k a week for Monga but surely even £10-15k a week should be enough of a deal for a 15 year old like Motsi. Can't imagine Man City/Liverpool would be offering more.

Can't have been more than we're going to be offering Conor Chaplin next season assuming the rumours are true. Would rather we had used some of that money to retain Motsi. Better value asset and I don't think Chaplin would be much more use next season anyway.

That's a shame. Considering how good Riley Carr was today you would think that Motsi would have also been able to contribute next season had he stayed. Certainly would have been a better option than BDCR.

Not part of the squad earlier today. Any news on whether he is gone this summer? Would hope we could give him a similar offer to Monga with backup minutes to Alves next season. Certainly would rather retain him and bring in no one than sign someone like Chaplin and lose him.

Braybrooke can play as a 6 as well. Anyone but Skipp in midfield for me and I think we will do well. Just offers too little.

Think you're a bit harsh on Hutchinson and too kind on Coulibaly. Thought Hutchinson looked strong and technical, had a nice moment where he took it around a defender and also had that strong shot that you mentioned. From my view it would have been very difficult to do much more with Coulibaly having a disaster behind you and Opoku/Cordova Reid in the middle offering nothing to work with.

Page played deeper as an 8 and was really effective at moving the ball quickly up the pitch albeit he did lose the ball in dangerous areas a couple of times. Always worked hard to make up for it when he did lose it though. Personally I would be happy to see Page and Braybrooke as the 2 midfielders. Better than Skipp being in there as he slows it down too much. Choudhury was good as well to his credit.

Bit unfair on Otchere and Hutchinson who both impressed. Would like to see Hutchinson be given a chance down the middle next game, looks like an absolute unit.

Watching Cordova Reid in the second half compared to Alves in the first half it is really night and day the gap in ability between the two. Of all the screw ups we have made in recent times playing Cordova Reid 2500 minutes in the last 2 seasons when we had Alves available has got to be up there.

Difficult for any of our forward players playing alongside Opoku and Cordova Reid who are having very poor games. Coulibaly as well having a nightmare. Alves, Carr, Otchere, Mavididi all benefited from the players around them playing well.

Hutchinson impressing considering he is a striker being played out wide. I remember being told he was only good for goals.

That's fine but for my money Wilson Brown has been our best player this half. Go after the players when they are playing poorly, not when they are playing well.

Cordova Reid

Not a fan of Martin having it in for Wilson Brown losing the ball. Thought his forward passes have had good ideas behind them and have generally been one of the highlights of the half. Shouldn't be punished for it.

Instead of Kevon Gray. The existence of him in this squad is such a slap in the face and blocks our young talent. No one wants him either otherwise he wouldn't be in the squad like Winks.

Threw an Ayew NR 9 shirt in the bin along the way as well.

It feels strange actually enjoying watching a Leicester team. I like how we constantly have the ball in the opponent's half instead of passing it around our box.

Cancel whatever offer we have made to Chaplin please. Alves should be our main man next season.

Is Logan Briggs in the squad or starting for Northampton?

We should see them play plenty together in the upcoming season.

Is this for our U16s/U18s? I can't imagine our first team or even our U21s would be tested against a university side.

We made a major mistake by signing Coady and Okoli for at least £15mil combined. Not only has it brought us terrible performances but it has also made us lose a valuable asset in Nelson for below value or for free. Will we make the same mistakes this summer buying "experienced" players to reduce the game time of the likes of Evans, Page, Alves and Braybrooke? Of course we will, we never learn.

Vestergaard played the most minutes of any centre back last season in one of the worst defensive units we've ever had. His blunders at the back last season cost us the points we would have needed to stay up. With him at the back we went 3-0 down at half time in consecutive games, I'm pretty sure we were the only team to do so last season. He is disastrously terrible and anyone saying otherwise doesn't have a clue.

Surely we could have offered Motsi a route to the first team this season. Probably already not far off ability wise from Conor Chaplin.

Notice how better teams than ours are hoovering up our young players whereas our senior players can't get a move for the life of them. Yet some of our fans still think the way forward is more experienced pros rather than trusting the only players with any actual value at the club (our academy players). One day Nelson, Braybrooke, Alves, Monga, Evans, Page will all be doing well at a higher level than us and we will be sat wondering why we didn't give them more game time.
