Danny Ward? Wout Faes?

Do we get to sing 'Straight back up' again. Those days were fun.

Ah, that expains why we are ****ng awesome these days.

The sad thing is, we aren't good enough. Ruud is right. The other sad thing is that, as sh1te as he was, Cooper had this right when he was picking 3 defensive midfielders + Facundo. We looked awful, but the negativity kept us in games. We also had the joy of a period when Facundo was flying and Vardy was able to feed of this as well, and Mads was playing like a superhero. But at the time, many (including I) hated the negative team selection and the fact that we were scoring more than our XG but it was likely the only way of getting something out of us. I still think we would be bottom 3 if Cooper was still here though.

Knowing us, we sh1t house a win here just to prolong the agony.

Much more money and less PSR constraints. Rodgers may have got his refresh, which although at the time felt like a massive excuse, was needed.

I wonder of the board will come to this conclusion now, especially as Man City have had a bad year and Enzo has hit a similar wall to ours last season. None of the challenger teams (by these i mean Brentford, Bournemouth, Newcastle, Forest etc) play what we were trying to achieve. We need pace, physicality and to do the basics right. Watching Brentford get every long cross almost perfectly right and we couldn't find anyone to cross the ball to was depressing. I don't think anyone will achieve anything trying to replicate Pep, and i think PL football has already left that idea behind.

Confession time. This is my first away day. Bought the ticket the other week after i convinced myself we were going to turn over Brentford and that this fixture was going to go the same way as Ruuds first game. Will be in London overnight with work anyway but now i think there are lots of other things i could be doing that are much more interesting. Just to make @Pliskin happy i might by a prawn sandwich on the way to Stratford.

I presume Woyo came off because he was a red card waiting to happen.

You did the stadium tour?

Its because hes not played for a few games. When Okoli hadn't played for a few everyone was ranting as to why he hadn't been picked. Played like sh*t against Brentford and everyone wants him gone.

Especially as he now has premier league experience 🙁

Where?

Mavadidi was terrible when he came on. Its not a case of one being better than the other.

See my previous post on this. If you are Dyche why would you take a 10/11 game deal? He's not stupid. Reason why Dean took it is because noone else would have him.

The seagrave spa and grill is the home of champions.

Dyche isn’t an idiot. I don’t see a situation where he takes a short term deal till the end of the season. He will want his 2 or 3 year contract and knows if he waits long enough one of those will turn up. The pool of managers who will take a 10 game deal (assuming we pull the trigger it would take 2-3 games for us to get something sorted) is really small.

Because Vardy has shown all the attributes to be a great manager.

Got a yellow card too.

I think Ruuds gotta go now. But Dyche isn’t the answer either. We don’t have the players to play his system. There isn’t a manager out there that’s going to take this on.

Did you tell him we were in league 1 once?

I would have thought it would be Facundo for BDR?

I then spend most of Saturday hoping Wolves and Ipswich lose as well. Painful.

Not us....

We got this. I promise.
