Aman Verma - league cup v Macclesfield 2010. Good guy occasionally bump into him.

I watched him at the weekend against Ayoze’s lot and he looked slow, played simple passes the way he was facing and generally didn’t really doing anything significant in a league that’s generally much slower paced than ours. Certainly he isn’t an alternative to KDH as has been mentioned on here. More like a back up to Winks who’s not likely to push him to start in the pivot role. Personally I’d sell him even if it means taking a hit on his original cost.

Irrelevant if he wants to stay. We clearly needed to rid Danny Ward off our books, the club told him there was not going to be any game time but he didn’t want to leave because he knew he wouldn’t get anything like the wages he gets now so he stayed. And he’ll be here another year unless we pay part of his wages on a loan deal.

Don’t see anything in Brownhill.

Wages would be very high

Pipes was a different time and we were entering Administration. Modern employment law means you can’t force someone to leave. I’d also be amazed if KDH went to Brentford or Brighton, it’s simply not a step up from us. Now if an offer came in from one of the big six or maybe even Villa in The Champions League then you could understand him perhaps leaving. But for Brentford or Brighton I’m sorry I just don’t see it.

I clicked the link and got fireworks and a personalised ‘thankyou for your support’ video message from Vardy 🤷🏻‍♂️

Absolute legend, I wasn’t impressed when Rodgers shipped him out on loan last year. Underestimated his presence around the squad. Love the fact that Villa ditched him and we took him on a free and then he won The Prem! Hopefully he’ll get a last run out in a foxes shirt Saturday. Thanks for everything Sharky

Right ankle bent the wrong way, he won’t be playing Saturday 😬

You seem to have gone quiet on getting rid of Enzo and replacing him with Cooper Col? 😂After the Millwall match you called me ‘the worst type of fan’ for suggesting that sacking Enzo when we were top of the league with 5 games to go wasn’t the best approach!! 😂😂👍🏻👍🏻

Maybe St ledger could ask his missus Taylor Swift to take over from The Birch and job share with Rusty Lee.

Surely it’ll be Rusty Lee, an ever present during the Brian Little era. It’s time to bring her back.

Praet had played the ball down the line, the ‘tackle’ came well after the ball was played which is why it’s almost out of shot on the picture.

Absolute shocker on Den last night. Harwood-Bellis didn’t even get booked. He’s been an effective back up to Ndidi and hopefully he’ll be ok for Preston but such was the force of the foul, that might be the last time he plays for us.

Might be worth a 25th minute waving of the season card protest? Would probably get a mention on tv if they see everyone waving their cards over to where the board sit?

The irony is though he’s undoubtedly MOTM today he’ll be replaced by Ricardo on Tuesday as the inverted wing back. Maybe instead he could rotate with Ndidi in the non creative destroyer high positioned number 8 role that Enzo appears to like? Wilf looks absolutely knackered tbf.

Great result. Colwill for Cardiff looks a great player. Seen him a few times and he’s quality. As for Southampton, they’ll defo be without Armstrong looks like he’s did his ACL as he nearly equalised but for a last ditch Cardiff block. He’s a good player and it’s sad for the lad. Sulemana should really be out too as he was unconscious on the pitch.

Sulemana just been knocked out cold, gets treatment on the pitch and is allowed back on. What happened to concussion protocols?

Yunus can play the KDH role, Cannon in for Vardy and we’ll have to go for Choudhury instead of Ricardo. Should still be enough to give the baggies a good game.

Who is going to pay Daka £80k a week other than LCFC? No one. We are stuck with him until his contract runs out. Just as we are with Danny Ward.

Cannon hasn’t played enough to get a fair statistical comparison surely?

Yeh I agree with that. For someone with a supposed reputation for pressing I just don’t see it. He rarely wins the ball, he likes to let the defender visibly move ahead of him before he then chases him. I’d get that if he did it on the blindside of the player but he doesn’t, he shows the defender the route forward and then follows him, the defender strolls past and having been allowed to get ahead of Daka’s press, he can pass it forward. I haven’t ever seen this approach work and it goes against what would be a logical press that say Liverpool do, pressing face on, making the defender make a quick decision rather then curving a run to open a door and let the defender through which is all Patson ever does.

It’s embarrassing tbh. If the women’s FA want the game to be taken seriously it’s either a neutral ground or a two leg semi.

Agreed, wages will keep most of our squad here for next season. Some of that is good news if we stay in The Championship as we have quality players like Ricky, Winks etc unfortunately we will be unable to move players like Daka who isn’t going to get a fraction of his £79k wage anywhere else in the world. We will have him and Danny Ward knocking around the place until their bloated contracts finally end.

He’s always marked his defender, his movement of the ball and positional sense have frustrated the hell out of me since he signed for Rodgers and continues under Enzo.
