Yeh definitely this - 100%. I’m that sure he’ll be so so good for Forest that I’ll even drive VK to the City Ground myself and drop him off in their car park.

Skipp looks to me that he hides on the pitch. Minimal movement off the ball. He’s happy to stay close to his marker and doesn't make much in the way of quick movements away from a marker to receive the ball from our deep builders - the goalie/centre halves or from throw ins. Because of this he doesn’t see much of the ball. Needs to be dropped for Winks.

He was our best right back. Cooper did not play him when he was fit. Finally he realised at Ipswich and then threw him into a full game after not giving him game time from preseason onwards. Not playing your best full back alone is mismanaging talent, never mind the injury part.

Cooper mismanaged Ricardo, that’s a fact.

Why are you that bothered? He seems like a nice lad but showed minimal loyalty. Mads jumped ship at the first chance he could leave just to stay in the Premier League - despite the move being to a pretty desperate PL club that were predicted to struggle this year based on Potter’s record, pundits’ predictions and WHAM’s own fans!

Mads stayed on his line for corners. Definitely was his weak link for us. Tbf looking back, his best time for us was when we were by far the best team in The Championship and he could just play with the ball at his feet as a deep mainly short passing pivot.

Mads is having an absolute Danny Ward in goal.

Maybe we could tempt legendary Leicester and England Captain Gary Wackett out of retirement too

Don’t underestimate Rudkin, I could see him in a pair of boxfresh sondico, shorts at Cattermole height, possibly sporting a headband working his magic in the number 10 role.

Thing is, it’s well known James Garner’s knees were gone even by The Rockford Files era of the mid 1970’s so it’s unlikely he could do a job as a creative midfielder. Plus there’s the added (insurmountable?) complexity that he’s dead. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Think they are in about a pay per play deal for fans. You have to have a full kit, your own boots and pay them £2k for the privilege. The only criteria is your kit can’t be a snide DH Gate version.

The Wrexham approach

After he gave us all of 12 months commitment and was part of a team that stunk out the Prem? Minimum commitment, minimum goals & assists and then jumps ship at the first opportunity. 🤷🏻‍♂️

The ELK hype is partly down to RVN’s obsession with him last year even when Buonanotte was the more likely of the two to produce an actual end product. Bilal has fabulous touches but he hasn’t delivered for us to date.

I started reading your post and I was nodding along with your sentiments until I got to the line highlighted. At this point you absolutely lost me mate.

If I was a Palace fan I’d not be too happy with Bilal replacing Eze. They are worlds apart at the moment Elk needs a season in The Championship

No disputing he tries his best. He’s just not an attacking fullback. Cifuentes realised that against PNE but that didn’t stop a deeper positioned Thomas getting caught out with balls over his head.

We were Outplayed everywhere tbh but in midfield Winks needs help. ELK wasn’t offering any creative support and was hooked at half time and Soumare was his usual self. Cifuentes needs to learn that he just can’t rely on Bouba at all as he’s already realised with Skipp.

He wasn’t awful against Preston. Fair play you don’t like him but he was the only player playing positive passes between the lines. He is our best senior central midfielder. There’s hope for Page but he’s still a kid.

He was easily our best central midfielder against Preston and the only player playing incisive passes forward during the game. Miles better than Soumare, much better than El Khanouss. We are so limited in creativity in the middle he needs a better player alongside him not being shipped out and leaving us exposed to the nightmare that is a Skipp/Soumare partnership.

The amount of abuse and name calling Winks is getting on here for not celebrating a goal in the 1st round of the carabao cup and for leaving the pitch early after the PNE game is very extreme. He’s not said anywhere he wants to go. Let’s stick to football opinions. The fact is, Winks is our best and most creative senior midfielder and has been in all 3 games we’ve played this season. I get that there’s a low bar with his senior competition being Bouba and Skipp but as it stands that’s an undeniable fact.

This coming from a non attending fan so triggered by a loss and by fans that attend matches and/or buy merch that he starts a ranting thread about them all being happy clappers. 🥴

I can understand complaints about Rudkin, Top, managers and players as they are clear failures by specific people. With this happy clapper KPFC thing, It’s seems to be a group of traits that you’ve imagined into this army of fans to hate. Are there swathes out there that fit your criteria of silence, clapping and merch completists? Aren’t bouts of silence during a terrible performance a form of protest when something isn’t going well? Like not clapping at a gig or a theatre performance. Does buying a shirt make you a happy clapper? What if it’s a snide from DHGate? What happens when a 16 year old scores a goal? Is it wrong to applaud him? Tbh your protest of reducing going to games by 10 would be judged as a bit of a half hearted gesture by the full hardcore anti clapper collective. You’ve got to be all in with 0% attendance otherwise your are dangerously close to being categorised in the happy clapper group thar you hate. Happy Clappers increasingly seems to describe everyone who watches Leicester live at a stadium when they are shit and losing.

It’s not the fans. Yes. there will always be fans that hark back to the days when Leicester were a well run operation. As there are at every club. It’s very difficult for some fans to accept that the halcyon KP era ended (or started a steady decline) really when Vichai tragically died. That being said it’s not the fans supporting the club that are causing the problems. I can only assume this happy clappers thing comes from people who don’t actually go. After every loss we see the same old comments. Those of us who attended games home and away last season can tell you at times, the atmosphere was positively toxic within the stadium. What I would say to the people who drop the happy clappers thread EVERY time we lose. If you are really all about action and think the fanbase are passive then start doing something and I don’t mean suddenly pretend not coming to games is the action. Most of you never really came to games anyway. If you really mean it, whilst the rest of us are watching the match, demonstrate loudly outside the club shop or something rather than going off with the fam for some food and shopping at Fosse Park and then dropping the happy clappers messages when you’ve got home and have seen Leicester have lost again.
