Who is buying any of our players?

People talking about a refresh when we are in league 1 like it's a guarantee. I don't see any evidence that will happen. It's just going to go from worse to even more worse.

Haram ball, brother. I am looking forward to it.

We just need a figurehead to get behind. I think Big Nige was a massive catalyst in getting everyone back on board when we were in league one. It could have been disastrous but he brought everyone together as well as cruising the league. A reset is 100% needed. We are all crying out for it. It will come, I'm confident of that, everything is cyclic, l but it may take a few years yet given the speed at which things are happening.

He wasn't great but also didn't get a good run. Not sure why there's so much hate for him, he didn't seem to have a bad attitude? It's not like we shelled out an insane amount on him. Loaned him to take a look, not good enough, send him back. Surely that's a win given our recent track history with signings?

And yet they keep coming back 😂

Gooners!

Somebody post the Mick McCarthy gif.

Those ones for me are incredible. Especially given that most people don't attribute that level of finesse with Vardy. Maybe that's why they get over looked as they are seen as flukey? For me, they are completely intentional as you can see him think about it before he goes for it.

Just watched the highlights, Newport defending just like us. Shocking. Absolute belter of a goal though. Didn't want Fatawu to overshadow him 😂

I don't think he ever played under O'Neill.

"It's been a difficult watch for anyone of a Leicester persuasion" was a line from the commentator when we were still winning. It was like playing with 9/10 men the whole half. Couldn't pass, couldn't run. It was awful.

Best half in about 5 years. I know Derby have been shit but it's really nice to see an intensity we all want.

Good thread. Took me a few minutes to settle on Beckford. Surprised myself that currently he's the top choice.

I was a fan of McAteer even though he was a limited player. Max I would have thought we'd get for him was £3mill. Cannot believe we got 12.

Really dirty team Stoke. Elbows and digs at players nowhere near the ball. Happy we shit housed them. Daka looked good and was really happy to see Mav looking on it. Hope they can both kick on. Will Begovic keep Stolacyzk out of the team when he's back?

Can anyone help with tactics on fm mobile? Dying here on the new one with Leicester.

I keep seeing that. I'll scope it out and see if it works on me steamdeck.

It won't be long until the cycle completes and reverts back to long ball but I guarantee it'll be labelled as direct/fast or some other more astute word. Already seeing teams switching to the set pieces. Not saying I am a fan of long ball but the slow passing it around is insanely annoying, especially when you don't have the players for it.

Bit unfair describing him as an "old school, hard manager". He was quite forward thinking in a lot of areas.

I've been living in the usa for ten years and the standard of driving over here compared to the UK is shockingly bad (only the states I've visited, about ten). Only 50% of drivers use their indicators, people always pull out in front of you, nobody knows how to merge and everybody shits themselves at the rare sight of a roundabout. Their driving test is pretty easy too. The theory was laughably easy. I live in state with lots of old people and there's a lot of accidents too. Honestly, it's genuinely scary driving around. Has anyone here driven in Florida? That is an experience. I was on the highway there and witnessed an oap doing 90+ on the hard shoulder only to drive past them flipped over several miles later.

The same guy who said he was going to use youth and then plays Vesty paired with Faes for most of his games so far. He's all talk.

He may have been limited but he gave everything when he played. Can't say the same for the rest of the squad.

Leadership is shite at all levels within the club. Would like a wholesale change but not going to happen. Has to be the manager first. Mav and Fats ripped this division last time. Winks was unplayable. Fatawu gets a worldy 1 in 5 games and Mav is a ghost of his former self. Feels like we play with no midfield, genuinely feels like we are a man down every game. We don't win any second balls. It's all just so painful to watch.

Quickest man on the heath.
