Yes - you start Daka against Palace. First half Palace were sitting back and offered very little, and Vardy missed several golden chances. Vardy offered no more than Daka could have done in that half. You then bring Vards on about 65 mins as an impact. At 65 mins against Palace he was completely gassed.

What sort of issue?

Look at how Enzo handled him last year. No way would Enzo have been starting him 3 times in a week. You need him at his best, start him when he's fresh or use him as impact. I doubt anyone in the KP thinks he shouldn't be near the pitch. But starting 3 times in a week, especially after a honking performance against Palance - its wrong to the point where the must be something else going on.

Dare i say it, but is it likely he is wielding too much dressing room power? Playing him 3 times in one week is almost scandalous, and i struggle to believe the manager wants to do this. Last 2 games he has looked absolutely knackered at about 70 mins, and its hardly surprising. I felt one of the last 2 he should have started as sub, and am surprised Vardy himself hasn't even requested being rested. Can only assume that he has become so desperate to play and is able to put the pressure on to do so, that is clouding what is actually right. Performance against Palace was evidence enough that he needed rotating.

Oh fu*k its matchday.

We can beat anyone outside of the top 6. It just depends if we can score goals tomorrow or not

I thought Vardy's link up play was really good on Weds. This is obviously something that's been worked on with him, Facundo and BEK. Unfortunately, the shooting bit let him down. Daka won't have the ability to link up like Vardy did. I do wonder if Ruud is really hamstrung by the types of players that can do what he wants, and the time spent focusing on anything new obviously eats in to training the basics.

Would you start Vardy? Because arguably he was the difference on Wednesday and not putting chances away in several games is really hurting us now.

How much game time did Sammy get at Dundee? They play if they are good enough of the situation warrants it. We are in a relegation scrap with a manager who is working to try and get the first team winning.

We’ve overrated Facundo. He’s had good moments under Ruud as well but he’s struggling for form and giving the ball away. I also think BEK getting better has shown him up a bit. There is a reason he’s on loan and not starting for Brighton.

Please how your workings!!! After yesterday’s results we are no worse off. Win gets us (temporarily) out of relegation zone. Got to go for it.

Soumare isn't dogshit. He is one of a few that can progress the ball but (like many players in the bottom tier of this league) there are frailties to his game. Winks isn't a Wilf so doesn't offer the same protection. When Wilf is back the 2 first choices will be Soumare and Ndidi (presuming Wilf hasn't gone straight back to being rubbish again). I think Skipp currently offers less protection than Winks!

No. He’s moving to a different country. Presume lots of stuff to sort out.

If only we could pay for 3 new quality players.

Buonanotte. Can't keep giving the ball away.

Players get better the less you see them play. Whoever isn't being picked at the moment (i.e Okoli) is the solution to the problem.

Deflated. Felt a bit like the Forest game where i thought we were well in it then all of a sudden it was gone. Once gone, heads dropped and its horrible seeing no fight to get back into the game A lot of pelters being thrown around. For me, Vards is responsible for not taking his chances. He's the captain and the one responsible to take those chances. If Daka had been as wasteful as him ..... (you know the rest). Also, i know he has a lot of fanboys, but Facundo showed me yesterday why he might not make it at Brighton. He gives the ball away so often, and yesterday when he was out of ideas he would dribble into trouble and lose the ball. He's got to work out how to stamp that out of his game.

Don’t mind and joined in with ‘we want Rudkin out’, but being there with my boy I didn’t like the Rudkin’s a c**t chant. Other chants are fine and I think more people are on board.

Disagree. We had lots of shots (over 20) and 3 missed big chances. Vardy had a few very good opportunities that he should have taken. Daka came close, Soumare hit the bar and Mavadidi had a header that went just wide. We created enough. We were just not clinical at the moment.

Today isn't the first game this season he's missed big chances. He's clearly working his socks off, but its not going right for him at the moment. My issue is we are playing him too much. Its as if when its not working we play him more. If he bagged 2 in the first half, like he should have, i imagine he comes off about about 70 mins. But when he can't score, we keep him on no matter what. I think we should start Daka on saturday and bring Vards on as impact sub. Cant see that happening and he will play the full 90 mins as part of the loss.

We have criticised the club for holding onto players for too long. Personally, if we get our money back on Cannon (plus a bit more) then do it if they pay for reenforcements now.

Would think that’s nailed on right?

Presume Palace put a clause in the loan contract that he must be in the squad to face them!?

Especially for academy players.
