His best form by far was when he played in empty stadiums during lockdown and even then he was judged more generously as all young players are. He’s never been that great and I agree he’s been very lucky throughout his career. His most recent contract renewal with his wage doubling, despite consistent failure here and on loan is the latest example of this remarkable ‘luck.’

As we’ll be even more reliant on matchday revenue to face off bankruptcy, a mass boycott of matches and merch will very much quicken not having a club to go to tbf.

Maybe those of us who can’t stay away could do a Vestergaard and have any elective surgery they’ve been putting off now the season has all gone to shit. This would give everyone a perfect excuse to miss games without feeling bad. So if anyone has any planned ops for hernias, varicose veins, boob jobs or even a trip to Turkey for new teeth and hair planned, do a Vestergaard and have the operation now the season has become an embarrassment. Have a guilt free break from football, be part of the process and plan for next season, be fit and ready to watch us in League 1. Vesty will be fit and ready too for the summer move he’ll be planning too!

Be still will you! Will Still will still be getting his severance payments of goodwill still! There’s little will still at Leicester to actually recruit a manager so Will Still will still be out of work.

In the second half they continually targeted his side, a tactic they surprisingly didn’t do so much in the first half, despite how bad we know we are defensively on the left. In that first 45 Kingy got Thomas to bomb forward with Winks covering his position and that created an overload which tbf was really effective. Thomas had less defending to do and Fellows ended up trying to cover his attacks. As soon as Southampton switched it up and targeted our left and Thomas had to defend against some quality in Matsuki, he folded. Tbh he got absolutely ripped apart. He just hasn’t got anywhere near enough defensive quality at this level. VK has to be given the time in the first team now that Thomas has had. He’s not ideal but he’s better than Thomas.

442 and writes his team down on the back of a fag packet. Gerrimin with Wacko as assistant manager.

Beggo has an air of ‘Podcast’ Coady about him. You’ll find him chatting shit on Sky and various international channels covering PL games and he also does some NFL stuff at times. When he’s not doing that he can dial it in at Leicester. His presence hasn’t improved Stolarcyck nor has it improved the team.

No better than Stolarcyck. Sticks to his line. Can’t kick. If Stolarcyck had palmed that shot out for their second he would’ve been panned on here.

There wasn’t anyone cheering anything on at the end of this game. The atmosphere was as toxic as it’s ever been down there and rightly so.

He’s not the messiah, he’s just miles better than Okoli. That’s not saying much tbh but it’s something. A reason for the smallest, tiniest bit of hope.

Patson missed two almost sitters that would’ve taken the game away from them.

Classless blue on blue thread where non attending fans are actually abusing/mocking/blaming attending fans and mods aren’t locking it. Wow.

I thought Mavididi was one of our better players in the first half yesterday.

Yeh I agree he plays on Tuesday. I want him to prove me wrong. I always remember years back when Simon Grayson went from a figure of derision to be a stalwart for us and I hope Skipp can do that. At the moment I just don’t see enough of a contribution that affects games positively. There’s plenty in the team that could have that criticism thrown their way tbf. I just think central midfield is one of the worst places to have a player who can be anonymous.

A true test will come against a team that uses long throws, corners and set pieces more than a lightweight Burnley do.

I’d go Mukasa with Richards up front. Whisper can play centre forward or wing. He can’t be any less of a threat than Daka and Ayew.

Having sat through a terrible game in the pouring rain yesterday when we were outplayed for 90 minutes and mocked by brum fans I can honestly say I’m dreading it.

I thought he looked as shaky as Jakob tbh.

King has said Winks’ attitude has been good since he’s been in charge. That’s not a lie, a narrative that I’ve made up, that’s coming from a honest guy and a Leicester legend in Andy King. You can get a player who is leaving at the end of a season to perform. You can manage difficult personalities even if others have failed. I didn’t see a pathetic performance from Winks yesterday. I saw a team being outplayed before and after we went down to 10 men and that wasn’t down to 1 man who only played when we were a man down in a lob sided formation. I should point out that I’m more than happy for Winks to go at the end of the season. I would’ve liked him to go in January and we’d replaced him with a cheaper, lower maintenance creative pivot or 6. The thing is that didn’t happen. I just think playing our better players in their best positions is what we should strive to do and that includes having a 6 or a pivot that can retain possession, play in tight areas and have ability on the ball.

I agree that he had showed some signs of improvement in early December but that has disappeared and we are seeing the Skipp of old again. I know that he cares, I know that he tries his best, he also comes across as a nice guy off the pitch but I just don’t see his influence on the pitch. He doesn’t do enough to be called the water carrier - that role influences games, with Skipp that term is almost an excuse to hide his anonymity.

We are looking league 1 at both LB and RB

Skipp has played more games and more minutes within those games than Winks.

My issue with Skipp is he doesn’t really offer anything and I don’t see how you can call Winks yesterday ‘absolutely pathetic’ without applying that same classification to Skipp’s performance. It was Skipp after all that visibly bottled a headed challenge yesterday. Anyone of us watching can run around like a blue arsed fly on a football pitch giving 100% but at this level you need more than that. Skipp gets judged on here with far lower expectations than pretty much every other player in our squad. If he’s running around it seems all is good, even though he doesn’t really influence the game defensively or offensively with that running around.

What about Wrexham, Coventry, QPR and Watford when Skipp started and the team kept 11 players on the pitch? The point is, the midfield is still ‘ran through’ with Skipp playing and not Winks.
