Marc Albrighton

[Stevosevic]

Isn’t the reason why he left last season because he wanted to play?

 

It feels like he’s even further down the pecking order now.

Maresca singled him out for praise after the Cardiff game. We have a squad full of young players now, but there will be times when we're struggling in games and may need experienced pros to help us get a winner or defend a lead. I imagine Maresca likes Albrighton for that reason.

7 more and he goes 29th in the all-time list. 

 

[Sampson]

Surprised not more has been made of it.

 

Remember in the dark ages of 2004-08 where we changed the squad every season and it felt like the kind of players who would rack up 300+ appearances were a thing of the past. Brilliant to see Albrighton reach 300 appearances alongside King, Schmeichel, Vardy and Morgan.

 

Brilliant  player for us over the years, regardless of how much he still has or doesn’t have left in the tank.

Super ball into the box for the third goal. Glad he’s still around.

His experience is invaluable, still a good player to bring off the bench.

Shows what he's still capable of when his radar is working...

Him and Vardy, last of the old guard and offers something very different to the rest of our wingers who are based on trickery and speed, pinpoint passing.

[Sampson]

Very good today I thought. Even though he's nowhere near as consistent as he once was, he's still great to watch when he puts out a battling performance like that.

Yeah something very comforting seeing an Albrighton assist and general efficiency.

[urban fox]

Mr reliability. Regular starter or not nowadays it will be a sad day and a big miss when he finally calls time on his career with us

[Ric Flair]

Quite liked the Albrighton, Yunus, Casadei and at times Ricardo passing and pressing pack. There's 3 players in there who can play a multitude of positions and it seemed to help free up Casadei to get on the ball.

[JonesLCFC]

Ooozes quality and always has done.

[Fox forever]

Great tracking back in second half on a couple of occasions when we were a bit stretched 

[Izzy]

The forgotten man reminds us yet again that he’s still got some miles left in the tank.

Absolute model pro.

[RowlattsFox]

Every time he plays you wonder if he'll play for us again. Always does his bit when called upon. 

[Marshall Cockney Fox]

I think he could have been used more this season. Still an honest grafter. And that right peg can find his man. Useful option to keep the wingers fresh. 

[Izzy]

Brilliant to hear his name sang so much today. Thought he looked genuinely touched as he went over to take a corner and was clapping the ball in appreciation.

 

His cross to Vardy was a thing of beauty and yet again he put a 100% shift in today.

 

Never gets the accolades but never lets us down. Approaching legendry status for me.

[phoneticerror]

MOTM for us. Not sure if he was given it or not?

[coolhandfox]

How many more time will we see goal: Vardy, Assist: Albrighton.

 

Enjoy it, you never know when it's the last.

Stolarczyk, surely? 

 

Albrighton is such a great team man. No pissing about, works hard and gets involved. Manager's dream.

[Chelmofox]

Boo Kevin at your peril, because you do that - then he whips the ball into Vardy.

 

Who the fek books Albrighton? Got to be one of the most likable players out there. Brain dead fans.

Were some of our favs genuinely booing him today?

 

Edit: oh no wait I guess it was the Birmingham fans as he’s ex-Villa
