Most championship players are athletes these days. Genuine footballing ability is very thin on the ground. 

When I was covering Leicester in the 1980s, players like him wouldn't have even made the reserves. We have become so desperate that anyone who has a decent game is suddenly a 'brilliant' player.

Just my opinion. Go down to London on a Sunday and there are a thousand Mavididi's all playing Sunday League football. Is this what we have resorted to?? We need grisly, nasty experienced players, the sort O'Neil used to unearth to get us out of this mess, not overhyped nobody's.

Even his goal was a half arsed swipe at the ball. Have to get rid of the lazy twat this summer

Feels silly criticising somebody for scoring but that was just pure luck. 

 

The reason I've repeatedly described it as the most pathetic season from any outfield player I've seen, is not just because of the low output. Whilst the be all and end all is obviously scoring goals to win matches, that can happen from anywhere on the pitch so the main thing you want from your wide players is to stretch teams and generally carry a threat. Earlier in the season he got loads of chances/openings and was incredibly wasteful (not through his own making), but the second half of the season, he's done almost literally nothing. Created next to nothing, barely beat his man and not even liked he's opened up space for others. Hopefully he's gone in the summer

He looked absolutely thrilled when he scored,  you know with breaking is duck, possibly securing an actual win, for the last game,  

Im not sure why he didnt even smile?

4 GA for a whole season in the second tier. Got to be the worst return for a winger for us at this level for a long long long time over that many games?

Keep seeing on Twitter that it's the same return that El Khannouss had for us this season. And he left in August lol

Really think he is unhappy here.

Most of them will be.  As a championship club a lot of players would join us on the basis that they'd probably expect to play a season of Champ football and then become Premier League players.  With this relegation you're talking about it taking, at best, another 2 seasons before that's possible.  In a short career most players aren't going to be happy essentially wasting their time in the lower echelons of the league.  Even if we think they're collectively there on merit, on an individual level they'll be blaming everyone else for their situation.

15 contributions in his last 78 appearances for us including cup games against significantly lower league opposition. Just so so shit. 

As I said above, it's not just about his goal contributions though. If he had those numbers but you were watching him beat lots of players, create chances, free up space for teammates because he's doubled up on etc, then you could still say he's been good. Unfortunately that side of him game has been significantly worse than his goal contributions output.

Derby and Watford linked with a move, cant see us getting much for him in terms of a fee, £2-3m at best? I think that's if were lucky

let's be honest, if he did and celebrated, everyone would instead change tune and ask why you're celebrating scoring a in a dead rubber having not shown up all season and contributed to us going down.

Just to expand on this,

 

This season he has the same amount of assists as Faes, Okoli, Nelson, Ricardo
El Khannouss has double the amount of assists and only played 136 mins, Soumare even got 2 assists this season

Probably says a lot about our history that I can name a few. Make a good quiz that though.

The only worse I can think of/find from my time is MoMo Syla with 2 contributions from 2370 minutes.

Winger....naaa  he's shown us that he's a  lazy step over pony.

 

Now if you want a real winger, one who actually worked, could truly cross, and tried to take on his man there was this bloke called Steve Gup....

 

On a serious note, I know who I'd want in my team and especially in League One.

 

(Probably Keith Weller 😀)

We should be getting 5 million for him, he’s had a shocking season but he's had a season and scored goals in the prem and done it in the championship before. 5 million these days is nothing

Our creativity has been non-existant all season.

 

Here's a nice fact for you. Only 3 players got more assists than yellow cards.

 

Patson Daka (4 assists, 2 yellows)

Divine Mukasa (3 assists, 1 yellow)

Bilal El Khannouss (2 assists, no yellows)

0.19 G+A/90 this year makes him worse than Luke Thomas, Bouba Soumaré, Wout Faes and Silko Thomas with Ayew, Daka and BDCR contributing at twice the rate lol

 

Unbelievably honking haha.
