Didn’t realise how small Hill is he’s like 5’2

surely not, about 5'8

[Jam orton]

Could Coady come in and do a job there ?

[FoxinNotts]

Let's just recall Thomas and Kristiensen?

Deniche Hill‘s time to shine 

Isn’t he a small stature left winger? 

[Jaspa]

Doyle's our most physical player. Replacing him with Justin will weaken our defending set pieces.

We've got Justin, and I can see us switching Ricardo to play the role he's playing now but from the left.

I think he's always pretty poor on the left personally. Although better on the right, JJ can do a job on the left and was doing so when being looked at by England albeit at left back. Can Coady cover the left?

[Lambert09]

justin - Hamza- coady- nelson- souttar 

 

(with ricardo switching to the left) 

 

We might have to adapt our style somewhat, but we are hardly in a disaster situation.

It's not ideal, but Justin has played on the left almost his entire career. I'm sure he's capable of booting it with his left. Plus, at this level... Ndidi looks like an attacking midfielder, I'm fairly sure a decent player can adapt at this level. 

Sure but Enzo didn't seem too convinced when it was suggested that Justin would be the best replacement, to paraphrase he said maybe but he's right footed.

 

Today's Presser

 

James Justin, who replaced Doyle on Filbert Way at the weekend, is one option to step into the breach in Leicester's defensive set-up. 

"We have almost double players for each position," Maresca explained. "The only position we have just one is Callum as he’s a left-footed player. We’re going to find a solution and adapt.

"Justin played already twice in the cup and against Southampton, making three at the back, but on the right side because he’s right footed. He was good against Bristol City too."

I know mate. it was sarcasm. So many people spouting the same question!

[ChrisFilter]

Let’s recall Fuchs. Surely it’s written into the loan agreement with No Fuchs Given T-shirts Inc?

[FosseSpark]

Doyle is a slow ish left foot centre back. 

Not beyond the realms that we play Vestergaard as lcb and bring coady into the centre. Leaves us playing all of our 3 centre backs  at once though. 

 

could rotate the below in order to try and manage workload of injury prone full backs.

The worst thing about this is that it happened within the first 5 minutes. Brain dead for us to let him continue.

Who else was told to run off an ACL last season? Was it JJ?

He refused treatment twice.

 

You can't make a judgement on whether it's a potential ligament damage or a knock when the player won't let any sort of check happen.

 

It could easily have been a knock he ran off in a few minutes, it's happened that it wasn't this time. 

[FosseSpark]

maybe we could play LEFT back inverted instead of right back, which sort of takes the left footed pressure out of the position. 

Everyone is doing inverted right back now, but Cancelo played inverted left back as a right footer for Man City to popularise the position. 

Hamza and Ricardo as inverted left back with Justin at RB could be the winner.

Glad someone said it. Are our medical staff supposed to check players after every single contact in case they have a boo boo?

Would like to see the stats this season on injuries where players refuse treatment because of the 30 seconds rule

The bloke has turned Ndidi into a attacking number 8, I can see an out of the box solution.

I have just read that Doyle has pretty much never been injured before. Yet he comes to Seagrave and he gets an injury. We need a statistician on the case and a stewards inquiry - Rudkin with his horse racing connections should be able to organise that!

Nelson can play left or right footed and has played left CB for the majority of any games. Time for a run out and integration into the first team... If he's sorted his stomach out!

Sorry but Jannik at LCB would be a car crash.

 

Not saying Doyle is rapid but he clearly has the ability to get up and down the pitch (albeit it slower than the likes of JJ) but playing LCB means that Jannik’s lack of any pace would be so exposed as he has that whole left side of the pitch to marshall.

 

The same goes for Coady, we’d be extremely exposed if either play there.

[SafewayFox]

I’d love to see Nelson but gonna throw out an alternative in Hamza!

 

He is quicker than JJ and thought had a good game against Norwich.

He's 19. It's unlikely he was going to have a rich history of injuries.

He’d have played 5-6 seasons or what have you including at academy level, possibly more
