Considering the way the club has conducted itself the last few years, I suspect they'd rather do the whole "we told you so" thing after the summer. That or they'll just be stubborn and sign more crap, overpaid older players in the summer to replace the ones on their way out.

One of the least "Leicester" players ever. Couldn't believe it when we signed him, and he's lived up to expectations (that's not a compliment). How anyone at the club ever thought he'd be a good signing is beyond me. Especially as the evidence from his time at Palace was right under everyone's nose.

Paris Maghoma on loan from Brentford if/when Soumare and Winks go.

Still at AFCON

Either of them works

Him, Okoli and Nelson as a back 3, get Coulibaly back to play right wing back until the summer and sign a left wing back. Just for the sake of something different that’s a bit more physical than Ricardo and Thomas at full back.

We need players that can run with intensity. Too many old players that aren’t hard runners already. Ward-Prowse is pretty much done, now.

I'd happily see that back 3 but just don't think Ricardo has it in him to play wing back anymore.

We drew 2-2 in 2016 at home, I went to it. Did we lose in 2014 at home to them? 2015 was Vardy at the Hawthorns great escape. Edit: did they beat us at the King Power in 16/17? Didn't think of that

The script is written then, Pep wins his last Premier League and Maresca walks in to Man City. I can see Maresca going on to be the most decorated manager that we've ever had.

I have quite a few Chelsea fans as mates, they weren’t sure on him at first and thought he made mistakes, they all think this season he’s been absolutely done over by their board and the transfers though, and they’ll regret losing him.

Not everyone who is going to the games is doing that, though. Ticket money is negligible compared to sponsorship and TV money. A couple thousand not going makes hardly any difference to King Power's stance.

The reality is the only effect it has outside the supporters is people go 'oh, what a shame what's happened to Leicester/Coventry etc.' and move on with their lives. It's only when it's the big clubs that people pay any attention. Top's running the club into the ground but I think fans who think he's going to sell up soon will be disappointed. I imagine he'll believe he had a big part to play in our success and will back himself to get us back there (which he won't).

It’s definitely transpired that way. There was hope Thomas and Kristiansen would be able to kick on at a lower level but neither have taken the opportunity. I’ve held hope out for Kristiansen to kick on for a long time but he needs to move on now due to Thomas’ new contract cementing his future here. We need a starter who’s significantly better than both.

The plan was VK and Thomas at left back with Ricardo and Hamza at right back would be good enough for this level. They've all underperformed when they've played this season.

Great header

I’m still yet to see any implementation of a style of play or any obvious tactics. Literally looks like he just lines them in 4231 every time and leaves them to it. I’m not sure what he’s trying to make this team be.

I disagree, Monga is going to the top. He’ll play wherever he signs.

Not for January but in the summer would like to see us go for Danny Imray. On loan from Palace at Blackpool, flying full back. At 22 think it’s unlikely Palace give him a chance now.

There was a moment in the first half vs Blackburn where he was simultaneously slower than their centre-backs and caught offside at the same time (i.e. his starting position was wrong and they caught up to him when the flag was raised). I think that just about sums his time up here for me in the little we've seen - off the pace.

It’s ashame he didn’t have much effect when he was coaching our lads all last season then…

He’s best off coming into a pre-season where everyone gets a complete clean slate with a positive mindset rather than the current situation.

No one will pay a transfer fee for him or offer him the wages he’s on, he’s here for the foreseeable.

Don’t really care for him, Soumare and James are both better than him and Skipp is a £25m outlay that we need to invest time into.

Rushden and Diamonds or Northampton
