I’m dismayed that Nick had absolutely no input into the story below. wtf do we pay our licence fee for??

Remind me what those decent games were then. Maybe a couple of decent moments but games?? I don’t remember anything bar a couple of accidental shanked assists and a couple of tap ins.

Absolutely no way BDCR has earned a 4. I haven’t looked at the rest of your scores properly but 4-10 for someone who bar a couple of tap ins has contributed little in attack or defence throughout the season is remarkable.

Can you blame Foxy leaving? Someone stole his favourite toilet at Seagrave ffs. This club is broken. 😡

They could sell full Lonsdale kits with pairs of slim soled electric blue Velcro lonsdales with the LCFC badge. 🥰

I’ve been going since the Gordon Milne era and in my lifetime I can honestly say the best keeper is Kasper Schmeichel and the worst keeper is his former teammate Danny Ward.

Just shows how many of those empty seats are season ticket holders as they get automatically included. That’s should worry Top and Rudders (but it probably won’t.) Season ticket holders are guaranteed income both in ticket sales and spend at the ground and won’t be adequately replaced by occasional visitors at Championship level, particularly against the less glamorous teams (e.g. Leyton Orient might get promoted via L1 playoffs.)

The ravens can never leave the Tower of London. Same rules should apply to bellend and the KP. This could be end of days. Oh the humanity!

A rampaging Ayew sprinting up and down that right wing will be a sight to behold. There’s absolutely no way Williams, even if he’s backed up by Hudson-Odoi can cope with Jordan’s lightning pace and directness. 🥴

The end of an era. The end of an aura. Bellend Sebastian, say it ain’t so? 😱

Surely that assessment wasn’t based on today’s match? Yeah the team have been abysmal this season but today I would say only K-Mac was disappointing (but he wasn’t dreadful.) I thought the rest of them were very good. ELK was outstanding.

Have you got any stats to back any of this up or are these facts opinion based? BTW Your paragraph that I’ve highlighted in bold is certainly not true for me!! I was football obsessed as a kid and I’m exactly the same now. I wish it did mean less now but it doesn’t.

He was one of the worst players on the pitch on Saturday. Very lucky not to be hooked at half time alongside Bouba. I think he’s been generally poor this season but he was certainly a vital player during our European campaigns and was for a good period a statistical freak when it came to winning the ball and breaking up play. Miles better than almost anyone else in the prem. A combination of injuries and time have reduced his ability and football has changed - It’s no longer good enough just to be a destroyer. I think it’s time for him to move on and I’ll certainly remember the original Ndidi who filled the giant whole Kante left so valiantly for a long time.

ELK is a good player with the potential to be a great player but for me he’s not done enough to earn a move to any prem club. I personally think he’ll be with us next season - anyone splashing out the £25m- £35m we’d expect would be taking a risk based on this season.

Thanks mate, appreciate a response that gets what I’m saying rather than some responses that have got loads of likes despite falsely claiming I wanted him to fail when nothing could be further from the truth. I think Alves is an absolute baller and I hope he can achieve the heights that we all expected of him before that assault at Wolves.

Why couldn’t he have got experience here with us?? He’s better than Reid.

If he’d been given game time here he could’ve. My point has been throughout this thread that Alves should’ve been given way more opportunities here this season. It’s another failing of our club that whilst we are stinking the league up, and rinse and repeating non performances from Reid we have to send a creative player out to the disaster that is Cardiff City to get some experience. And what has he got from it? Dropped from the starting 11 and a relegation to League 1 on his record.

I could throw it back at you and say, in light of his lack of game time at Cardiff compared to the game time a failing Reid playing in his position got here at Leicester, AND the fact Cardiff were relegated, based on what metrics was the loan a success?

The player initially and mainly at fault was Ndidi. He found himself closest to Ait Nouri as the ball went to the full back but decided not to track him so Ricardo who was close to Cunha had to leave him and try to catch up with Ait Nouri. Ndidi instead jogged to get back into a central position without ever making any effort to catch up with play.

I get Faes is the pantomime villain but I’m surprised there’s not been equally scathing analysis of Podcast Coady for his performance v Wolves in his own thread. Terrible positioning and defending for the 2nd and 3rd goals.

Ricardo injured.

My point is he could’ve done that here. He’s better than BDCR irrespective of his inexperience. When you look at the minutes Reid has had here recently and throughout RVN’s time, that could’ve been Alves.

It was a poor loan. He should’ve got game time here. 19 year old Will Alves is twice the player than 32 year old version of BDCR.

I’m the exact opposite of wanting him to fail. Look throughout this thread and I’ve been praising him. My point, which you have completely missed, is loaning him out to a club like Cardiff, struggling in The Championship is no better and probably worse for his development than keeping him here. I would’ve given Alves game time at Leicester.

I don’t know if you’ve got one of them new fangled portable phones? I’m told some of those now have cameras on them as well. Worth checking out?
