Lineker's Lugs Posted 5 May 2024 Posted 5 May 2024 The second half is seeing Leicester on top, a few good chances have come and gone (standard!).

Jimmy Posted 5 May 2024 Posted 5 May 2024 Foster makes some odd subs moving Cayman into midfield but puts on the right back to play left back instead of the left back that's on the bench 1

Jimmy Posted 5 May 2024 Posted 5 May 2024 finished 1-1 first time we've scored away at West Ham and first point we've taken there. Get a proper manager in and this squad is more than good enough
Lineker's Lugs Posted 5 May 2024 Posted 5 May 2024 Fair result really. WHU had a couple of good chances to add the their score in the first half, and Leicester did in the second. Two quite poor teams though. 1
SK3Blue Posted 6 May 2024 Posted 6 May 2024 West Ham were for the taking yesterday but once again we lacked that cutting edge. Ref was poor, how can semi pro refs do pro games?! Petermann hasn't really had the impact I hoped for, 6 goals, 1 of which was v Derby is a poor return. Need O'Brien fit, a no 9, no 10, 2 x centre backs and a manager. Dont think we'll go for Ale, and Whelan looks like she's coming to the end of her career. Odd incident yesterday, the taking of the knee was met with a rather irate man in our away end shouting stop it, we're English repeatedly. After a few exchanges with other fans he was asked to leave. Never seen him on any away days this season. 1

She would add pace to the position, but not so good at holding the ball up, and linking the play as Petermann. Has Draper been injured? Would have liked to have seen more of her in these games that have nothing on them. I know she's very young, but on the brief occasions I've seen her, she looks to have Vardy like movement, and an eye for goal.

No wasn't suggesting Shannon as a 9 bud, just said we need her fit, certainly her best position is that left wing, but feel we need a goalscoring 9, maybe play momiki as the 10, think Whelans time is up. Draper injured on England duty, won't be back until next season, do agree, Vardyesque movement, and you see the goal she gets v Bristol has great movement and awareness. You may recall Mark Draper playing for Leicester on the 90s, Denny is his daughter.

Hannah Cain would be a big plus when she comes back too, i think we've missed her out wide. Is her ACL career ending then? I hope not, I really rate her. Whoever comes in as manager, has a decent squad as a platform, defence is the place we need to strengthen with more quality before anywhere else, but as you say, another number 9 would also be a welcome addition.

Yes I think the defence could improve, 2 centre backs would be welcome along with the 9 and 10. I think there will be interest in Rantala in the summer too.

We've made big strides this year.

Cain has gone from posting lots of Leicester content to nothing, there is an obvious reason why when you look at the timing of the change. I do think had O'Brien come on instead of Baker yetserday she takes the chance Baker messed up with a terrible second touch
