Another keeper who had one decent season for Huddersfield. Is that place haunted by the ghost of Lev Yashin or something?

Its not really his fault that he's the back up guy for most positions on the pitch, he's barely played 2 in a row and not even full games then. He's got clear potential but he needs using consistently and to stay free of niggles in the run-in.

If KDH was training on Sat then Enzo starts him. Can't see him holding him back for one of the crucial matches which just leaves the 8 and wide positions and that's got to be Akgun and McAteer to save messing other players like Ricardo around. Hopefully starts Cannon and isn't tempted to throw Vardy straight back in.

I forgot this guy was still here. Have we still got Bartosz Kuputska in a cupboard somewhere?

Winks too. Supposedly injury prone according to Spuds fans. He's nothing more than a squad player to them, I can't see them being arsed about losing someone off the bench for the Super Cup. Enzo already said in his presser the other day there was nothing imminent either in or out. And again, he's barely played for them, I can't see them hanging on to him to warm the bench.

Fabrizio is just quoting other journalists. He's only ITK about a day before the deal goes through. Nobody at a newspaper, a media group or a podcast studio has any idea what our finances are and if we can afford even the 2m fee. If Enzo was that desperate for him the deal would have gone through within hours of Casadei leaving and here we are 3 days on with no new info which suggests money is the hold up given we have a spare squad place.

"I prefer to keep the team ethic to stay together but the transfer window is strange" he said in one of his pressers around Christmas/New Year time. TBH if anyone but Everton was linked to him I might believe it but Everton were selling Cannon for a few million in August and have had two PL charges since then. Even if Dyche rated him, I doubt they're paying anything this window.

Romano saying Sensi deal now close

Their recent scouting and transfers have cost half a billion and got them to upper mid table, I wouldn't exactly have them down as great judges of ability. Got to be an element of mutual consent here though, making space for Sensi or another loan.

It's a small win for now but let's be honest, the last time we were in the Championship games like Rotherham were kids for a quid and were huge successes in building the family fanbase we have now. It shouldn't need fans groups to do this, there should be a football-minded person within the club hierarchy that organises things like this as an absolute basic. It's beyond embarrassing that the club needs it's arm twisting to even consider - shock horror - people can call a football ticket office in the morning for no strings attached tickets. Well done to all involved in getting some changes but LCFC need to start acting like a football club again, not a supermarket with loyalty cards.

Maybe but we spent 8 years carefully building a side capable of competing naturally in the Prem, selling one big name a year and recycling the cash for 2 or 3 player upgrades. Forest bought about 40 players in 2 seasons spent £160m and figured if they got far enough up the league a pts deduction wouldn't matter. It helped them get out of relegation trouble, just like Everton, and if they'd played by the rules last season might have been different.

It's not difficult at all but it doesn't milk the cash cow. Look round the stadium on a warm afternoon at the mix of kits - some in orangey peach, some in mint, some black, some pink, some maroon and yes even the blue one too. Having the same colour every year doesn't encourage kids to ask for it or for Cheryl to turn round to Pam and say "ooh I quite fancy that new colour". The only reason for Burrda getting a relaunch is they're cashing in on the nostalgia trip.

No, it's vile and offensive, mocking a kid dying of cancer is as low as you can go but the more people show these banners and posts, the more it happens. The Bradley one rightly needed calling out because that's the misery of one family being treated as a joke, the crash affected the club as a whole and the fanbase is being antagonised as a whole by a small section of another fanbase. One random banner you can pity them for their shocking grammar and being a lone idiot but it soon becomes obvious the reactions to one banner create another 5, so you let the police do their job, pull them down and don't give it any more oxygen.

No Enzo on the bench will be interesting. Expecting McAteer in for Fatawu but wouldn't be surprised to see Doyle back for Justin too.

No I've been very critical of him but I criticise when it's appropriate and I don't think he did anything to be that critical of today. Fatawu was poor pre-red, Stephy was lethargic and despite the pen KDH was a bit AWOL too. My big thing all season has been that we shouldn't be developing players we have no intention of buying, our aim is promotion so we should be getting players in that are the finished article (Winks) or experienced in achieving our goal (Coady)

He had his warning away at QPR, probably wishes he'd gone to AFCON now.

We only have one striker left and we knew it would be this way back on August, nothing we can do about Vardy having an injury.

Ref was awful but we brought it on ourselves with a loss of control and then poor subs to invite pressure. Move on, bigger games ahead.

Not even worth the oxygen. Vile, sums up the town as a whole. Move on.

This ref is a festering boil on this game. In fact on THE game in general.

Someone stop that Tom Cannon song. It'd be far better for Justin.

Doyle for Justin make it more of a 3 at the back and leave Ricky to cover the right side maybe?

A couple of people have said that he's a red waiting to happen and there it is but I think that gets overturned if we have VAR, it's not high. If thats a red, so is the pen.

Agreed. Put himself about, two clearing headers and apart from a stray pass or two - that they've all done - he's been fine. There's one or two that are missing having Vestergaard or Ward or Iheanacho or *insert this seasons punchbag here* to have a go at I reckon.

Love that he makes a Prem cock up and the punishment is that he gets inflicted on the Championship instead. There's enough shit refs down here already
