I’m in that camp too. The reason is because we were very shakey defensively last season and Castagne is better at securing the back 4 than the other two whilst still offering a good attacking outlet. Once we are in form Ricardo is our best fullback but Castagne is a very good player, which is why there’s interest in him. You could put him in almost any team and he’d do a job for you. 

Agreed, definitely think we looked much better defensively last season with Castagne in than when we had Ricardo or Justin in and Castagne would be my first choice full-back going into the season.

 

Ricardo was obviously the best pre-injury, he was as good as any full-back we've ever had pre-injury. But it's been about 2 1/2 years since his injury now and he's still not showed anything like that form since.

 

Justin also has looked incredibly shaky since back from his injury, though it's probably too early to say it's affected him as permenantly as it seems to have with Ricardo.

Fair play to the media team today - considering they have struggled to air u23 games in the past they have done well to stream 2 games today with pitch-side presenting in between 

 

I like the Yorkshireman presenter, cut that man open and he'll have King Power running through him like a stick of rock

Bodes well for KDH that after Rodgers challenged him to get more goals and assists he's scored against Leuven and now set one up in consecutive games

And another

These guys look like the League One outfit, not Derby. Derby’s goal was great to be fair, top quality. 
 

I think the lack of atmosphere is making this well easy for us. 

[Lionator]

We look sensational, can the season start now?
