Shame just as it was getting enjoyable

Things are bad but at least the club will lift spirits with the announcement of the new manager

Personal reasons dont risk injury

No don’t engage because you are being a bell ”He was no worse than the other strikers during that period” Daka 6 games started no goals Vardy during the same period 4 goals from the 5 he started Plus 1 in 13 min cameo against Norwich Another 3 goals in the two games that followed. He gets heavy criticism because he has been utter dog shit apart from a small period, to the point where he falls over most games and can’t control the ball. He no longer has the burden of Vardy now, let’s see if he can turn it around before there are no excuses left.

If people want to credit him when the team was scoring freely, talking about his movement, stretching defences, creating space then they have to accept the flip side too. When the goals dry up, the losses pile up, and he’s not scoring or contributing meaningfully, that same logic demands accountability. As for strikers shitting the bed they seemed to do ok in his absence with 10 goals in 3 games before the final game of the season after his last game against Plymouth where he got 1.7 in the rating. But that must be from all the fans that don’t like him. Clearly the ones that do forgot to vote

Sure, it's a team sport but it’s also a fact that a striker’s goals and overall input tend to have a direct impact on results. Go six games without your main forward scoring, and naturally, winning becomes a lot more difficult. But maybe it's just a bad coincidence like how, in the six games he started after Watford and failed to score, we lost four including three in a row for the first time all season. And another coincidence, when he was dropped, we won three out of the next four. And just to top it off, yet another coincidence is that in the player rating threads from those losses, he consistently comes out as either the worst or second worst performer in the starting 11 by those watching. At some point, patterns like that stop being coincidences and start becoming part of the bigger picture.

if you're going to highlight a purple patch or his contribution to team goals during a hot streak, then it's only fair to weigh that against the broader picture, especially the six games that followed. Losing four out of six, including three on the bounce for the first time all season, suggests something deeper was lacking than just shot confidence from the missed chance at Leeds. The claims about his link-up play and movement dragging defenders out of position sound good on paper, but when the results nosedive like that, you have to question the actual impact. Was he really knitting things together or just flattering to deceive? He's always come across as likeable, and every summer there’s that quiet optimism that this might be his year, but you’d struggle to argue that he’s delivered on that promise. Over the course of multiple seasons, "pretty poor" does start to feel like the fairer summary, no matter how hard people have tried to find the positives

It’s not really anything like that, the bloke has worked as assistant manager of Holland multiple times, and PSV manager not come from a job in Argos still wet behind the ears. No resources like a £100m training ground. its not unheard of for managers to get no pre season is it, it’s not unheard of for managers to get no money and still see an uptick in results. See Moyes and Lampard recently

What support would you have liked him to have for a club on its arse to meet PSR, a few million on staff perhaps or another £20/30m on players that turn out to be utter shit and saddle the club with even more long term debt?

I don’t think he is in any position to grumble, he should be thankful of our financial predicament that he is still in a job after 15 odd losses from 17 and 8 home blanks

For context, McAteer who is generally panned by most made 13 starts (about 61 mins total game time more) from midfield/wing and one as right back he managed 6 goals all from open play.

Yeah started 14 games scored in 5 of them, 4 goals in 14 games that didn’t include pens in a team smashing the league. Watch out championship

Imagine his stats if he didn’t flop in another 6 starts in the champ since his last goal. 3 of the 7 were pens, he has one goal in his last 32 appearances and before anyone says but how many minutes has he played, I think we all know the reason why

JAMIE VARDY could be lining up against Spanish giants Barcelona and Real Madrid next season in LaLiga SunSport can reveal Vardy is a top summer target for Valencia boss Carlos Corberan, who is keen to sign the 38-year-old Leicester City legend.

While it is thought contact has been made with Martin's representatives, there have been no formal discussions with Leicester's bosses over the details of any deal. Rohl has a buy-out clause at Hillsborough which is thought to reduce by 50 per cent if a Championship club wishes to employ him rather than a Premier League club. on sky

He finished 4th and went up through the playoffs with the 3rd favourites for promotion once. I don’t think that means he is proven. Plus a 12 point deduction or more on his points talley sees him fortunate to make the play offs

Such a ledge

I’d rather Seany D

Hopefully a Percy story tonight, that it’s not the case

Once you’re in Rudkins black book you don’t leave it

Read on the Celtic forum the other day, started decent then uninspiring performances followed

I did allude to something similar, in that interview with Tyler when he asks him it kinda catches him on the hop. Keeps the Vardy brand going and makes him a more popular option rather than he was discarded after 13 seasons even though the club are heading into the champ
