A club like them have to pay top price for championship players whereas a club like Leicester will pay less for better players as we're a much more attractive proposition. They could have been more shrewd though. They're not gonna get a Timmy Castagne level of player but wasting over £100m on garbage is poor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't waste the cash on Brewsters etc and accept you go down - but come back richer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

st albans fox Posted 13 March 2021 Share Posted 13 March 2021 Has anyone thought about the long term injuries they’ve had to their better players? They don’t have a deep squad. up until it was too late to survive, they hadn’t really been hammered and were in a lot of games (reminded me of us in 14/15) Im sure that some of the bigger wages they’ve had to pay new signings and also some new contracts they’ve given out have upset the dressing room a bit. That small percentage drop in effort can make a big difference when you’re losing by the odd goal .... I was generally impressed by their football - it wasn’t hoof ball and they worked the play up the pitch intelligently whilst maintaining a strong physical input. should have given him what he wanted to get them back up - it’s not like he would be able to spaff big money on summer signings ......

They don’t have a deep squad. Best player is O’Connell and he’s been out all year. Decent on the ball for a CB - Sheff U fans reckon the left side of defence was the start of the problem. I actually don’t think the striker fees or players are necessarily the problem - that’s always a struggle for any non big six club, trying to get an affordable striker. We’ve got three examples ourselves of strikers who’ve misfired here after decent transfer fees. Their worst signing is Ramsdale in goal. He’s absolutely diabolical.

AKCJ Posted 13 March 2021 Share Posted 13 March 2021 17 hours ago, UpTheLeagueFox said: That was a game where, I'm led to believe, CR decided to change the formation in the hour before the game and the players, who'd been working on something all week, suddenly had to completely alter their thinking. I would bet that would be that ridiculous diamond we played away at Southampton. Don't think i've ever seen a City side get so comprehensively beaten by an out of form side before.

Free Falling Foxes Posted 13 March 2021 Share Posted 13 March 2021 I vow it won't keep annoying me but when it happens, it does. During half time in last night's Newcastle v Villa match, 5live were talking about who'll finish in the top four. Man C are a given of course and they felt Man U are. So, who's getting the other two places? They then spent some time discussing the merits of: Chelsea, Spurs, West Ham, Everton and even Arsenal. Mmmm, I think they just about covered it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramsdale started off having a bit of a nightmare but had probably been their best player in recent weeks/months. I think he's turning into a decent keeper and has started cutting out the mistakes, generally speaking. Whether it lasts is another matter entirely.
