What utter bollocks by Rowett. So none of the youth players are deserving a chance compared to the usual suspects? Otchere, Briggs, and Hutchinson have all been contributing to positive performances for the U21s. What exactly is it they have to do to "earn the right" to a first team appearance (in what will be a dead rubber game)? Complete horseshit from Rowett. What a waste of time his stint at the club has been.

I initially read this thread title as a request 🥲

For those looking for the interview: https://www.leicestermercury.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/jake-evans-admits-mistake-leicester-10941291.amp You could see it as damning of youth players having a sense of entitlement, as @BKLFox suggests. However, I think Evans' framing here is more a self-reflection and criticism of himself. Sounds grounded and realistic, with a determination to do what's needed to play for us. Here's to Evans doing a KDH, working hard in the "off-season", killing it in in pre-season, and making a genuine impact in our League One campaign. We need more players with that hunger to do well, and learn from their mistakes.

I reallllllly hope there's some truth in this, and better yet, a possibility of it happening. No idea if Schreuder's style would work for us, but dammit I'd like to try something that isn't the flaccid style of possession football we've been failing to play since Enzo left. It does seem like the ideal time to bring a manager in who can completely shape an identity, culture, and playing style. Lots of players out of contact or certain to leave. We just need to be able to bring in the right players for the manager, and hope the style works... A lot of risk, but it would be fun. Which makes a change for our club of late.

Bold of him to make assumptions like that 👀

Is this real? 😂

What the hell is Rowett thinking bringing Winks on. I take it JJ isn't fit enough or something for the full 90!? And of course the mood shifts, and soon after we concede. FFS.

I don't get it, what did Mukasa do to get so much hate, and accusations for arrogance? I know he hasn't played well of late, but...have I missed something?

This may be a terrible shout, but for some experience and leadership, do we think Matty James might come back? He has been a big part of Wrexham's side this year, but he'll only have a year left to run on his contract, and you'd imagine they'll go all out for promotion next season. He might be a casualty. Then again, I doubt he'd want to drop down a league again.

At this point I honestly think not being a fan is part of the club's hiring criteria.

This is cynical. Our title winners deserve better than to be treated as pawns like this. The players have a lot to answer for this season, but this...this shows you what the club actually thinks of us as fans.

Oh has he? Thanks for the heads up, that's a bit of a relief then. Where did you see/hear that?

This reads as if he's given up on them. Calling out their professionalism.

I don't see how we even compete in League One. 90% of our team will leave, either due to contracts expiring, or wanting/needing to be sold. To be fair, I think most of us want to see the back of them anyway. However, that leaves us with youth players, and those we can't get rid of on £40-60k a week wages (I'm hazarding a guess). I'd say we could build on our youth, but why would any of them want to stay? Monga is as good as gone, and I am genuinely not sure we have a chance of retaining Nelson, Aluko, Evans and the like in our current state. Maybe I'm being excessively negative, but I cannot see the light at the end of the tunnel. It's bleak!

I would love to believe this, but there's little evidence. 90% of our squad will be gone next season. Which I for one am actually looking forward to, quite frankly. However, that means probably replacing a good 10-12 players. There is no way we have the money for that, with Macquarie breathing down our necks. Also, who is hiring the competent coach? Rudkin and Aiyawatt won't do that. You'd think it would be Mccarron once he's in, but I have a sneaking suspicion he has changed his mind. He was supposed to start beginning of April, and we've heard nothing.

Awful. He's done nothing, and arguably less than Cifuentes after binning off our youth and coaching quality out of any that had a spark of it. Fatawu and Mukasa in particular have regressed under him. Can't think of a single player (maybe Thomas?) that has even marginally improved. Counting down the days until he's gone, along with most of this horrendous squad.

Beyond predictable. We knew were gone, but now it's too late.

Probably more urgency in them tbf.

I genuinely keep forgetting he's playing haha

I refuse to believe that there aren't players in this squad who can do better than this. The drop off needs to be studied. Not by us, or anyone associated with the club, as we're sick to the back teeth, but...studied.

We just can't win any second balls, can we? Every throw, goal kick, or free kick is effectively just giving the ball back to the opposition. Fatawu's hit (I can't bring myself to call it a cross or a shot) just sums us up too. We don't seem to have any connectivity or thought in our play whatsoever. How boring.

**** this squad. **** the club. I'm done. They don't deserve our support.

Boy do I hope JJ is back for this. And fit.

Rowett, change something, FFS.

You are joking. Feel sorry for the lad, but...why on earth didn't we see this coming and send him back to Burnley to recover? Dear oh dear.
