So all this fuss about a lack of midfielders, and we had cover available all the time?

Kids First Game - Question...
Manley Farrington-Brown replied to Gib11's topic in Leicester City Forum
Both our kids first went when they were four, and loved it. We went with both parents though, and just posted them through the turnstile between us! If it's just you and a three year old and you don't want to post them through ahead of you, I'd ask the club if there's another way in. -
The Championship Thread 2023/2024
Manley Farrington-Brown replied to Sly's topic in Leicester City Forum
Not without a spectacular drop in our results, and nothing's happened to make that look at all likely. -
And that'll be us! Be optimistic!

Cannon possibly looks more likely to score himself. But when Cannon's there, nobody else ever looks much like scoring at all. Daka's movement opens things up all over the place.

Not sure Enzo sees it like that. I'm probably wrong though I think he saw him as first choice in the few games up to AFCON. Not until then though.
-
So as both Ipswich goals were due to deflected shots from distance, and at Coventry we were down to ten men, we've dropped points due to late proper goals in normal circumstances precisely twice! Mr Glass half full, I am.

Well the answer to this should be 'anyone intending to drive afterwards.' Some cocktails have loads of alcohol in 'em.

I prefer the recent version, the whole cast is brilliant. But then I'm not much of a John Wayne fan tbh.

Nah... Leprechauns are too small; they get outmuscled, especially in midfield. You can't rely on unicorns, they're too flighty. And bridge trolls did well as defenders in the sixties and seventies (Norman Hunter, Chopper Harris, Tommy Smith...), but they're just red card magnets in the modern game.

The Championship Thread 2023/2024
Manley Farrington-Brown replied to Sly's topic in Leicester City Forum
It's much harder to close gaps at the top than at the bottom. Teams at the top don't tend to go on losing runs. I'm not suggesting for a minute that we can't lose a few games on the trot. We might. But there's nothing to suggest we will. All the panicky doom-mongering on here is based on one game at Cov where yes we weren't great but may well not have lost but for the sending off, and the fact that Ndidi's injured. Which is funny considering the stick Enzo got on here for playing Ndidi in the role he's now apparently indispensable in. -

He was a knob when he was a player; doesn't sound like he's become any less of a knob since. Tw*t. -
It'll be one from back when everyone watched the same telly as each other so we all saw the same ads. So from back before phones, internets and streamings. Something from the 90s maybe?

Nowhere near enough people have said Granby Halls. Part of the fabric of Leicester for generations. Come to that, nowhere near enough people have said Filbert St. Part of the fabric of Leicester for generations.

Harsh. He's what, just turned 21? Players develop differently; they aren't all Rooneys. I don't think KDH had kicked a ball for the first team when he was the age Casadei is now, and he's become a useful player.

Coventry away post match 3-1 defeat
Manley Farrington-Brown replied to Tuna's topic in Leicester City Forum
Has there been another game this season when both our wingers were so utterly anonymous for the entire first half? Add in the fact that apart from the one excellent effort he got off, Cannon looked like a fan who won a 'be a professional footballer for a day' competition, and I can't remember us looking so utterly toothless this season. Still - no winger is ever going to dominate every game. Especially when they play every game. It's just a shame when they both have a duff game at the same time. And I'm not writing Cannon off on one poor game. If anything, the fact he still almost nabbed one even though he may as well not have been there the rest of the time might be encouraging. It was a crap game and it's done. Next, please! -
Senior citizens do take longer to recover from stuff...

But of course he's having to do it in a much weaker team, so who knows...?

Leicester city mishmash.

Lol - so it is! Mighty impressive of me to miss that! -
Leicester city mishmash.

It needs some older stuff! Off the top of my head: A sixth swan straggling behind the other five, flying over the double decker Keith Weller's white tights Gordon Banks catching a dog -
The Championship Thread 2023/2024
Manley Farrington-Brown replied to Sly's topic in Leicester City Forum
We're averaging 2.5 points a game. If we keep going like we have been, or anywhere near, ain't nobody gonna catch us. If we drop to 2 points a game, even if they won every match from here on they'd only be seven points ahead of us. So even if we do substantially worse from now on, they could only afford to drop seven points in the last twenty games to catch us. If we do carry on like we are, Ipswich would need to win every remaining game to end up level on points, and Southampton coundn't catch us even if they did that. Which they won't. I know 'nothing's won until it's won,' but... -
I can say with some authority that yes, it is.

Tactics Under Maresca
Manley Farrington-Brown replied to StriderHiryu's topic in Leicester City Forum
I think it's fairly clear that what he means is he doesn't like counter-attacking as a primary tactic. He's never going to send a team out to sit back, let the other team dominate, but plan to hit them on the break. But while we'll always aim to control the game by dominating possession, the other team's always going to get the ball sometimes, and when they do attack, if they commit numbers forward, he wants us to be able to hit them hard and fast. TL:DR - he has no problem with 'counter-attacks,' but he doesn't like 'counter-attacking' to be the main tactic.
