I disagree, he wouldn't have made a difference on this occasion but it is very disappointing to see he isn't busting a gut to get back into the box just in case

 

It just looked so lazy from him

Yeah that's the thing for me. The lack of effort, even if he's not actually going to make it back all the way, don't just stop.

God I cannot wait to hopefully see Fatawu coming on in the last 20-30 minutes to have a go against this crap Southampton defence

Thought we were absolutely awful, and I really mean awful at 2-0.

I don’t think Doyle is good 

He’s good on the ball when we are in comfortable possession… but there are definitely mistakes in him. That’s him responsible for three goals in the last three games, I think?

Coady will sort this defence out, clean sheets will return when he does.

Would like to see Faes Coady Justin

[StanSP]

Surprised they take Edozie off. He's been their best outlet?

Wow. I'm loving this evolution of Wilf! Genuinely fascinated to see how his game continues to develop. 

Which begs the question is it the player or the way the player is coached/managed? Similarly Vesty.

Certainly struggles in front of goal, but scares defenders to death everytime he has the ball… learns to finish and find the pass he will be some player 

He needs to improve his body shape when he gets in behind.

I still can't work out what was going through Doyle's head

That's just classic hindsight though.

 

He's looked uncomfortable as an 8 all season, even the most one-eyed Nigerian Facebook dweller wouldn't have him turning into Prime Izzet tonight.

It would be hindsight if I was one of the ones slagging him off. I disagree with what you're saying about his performances this year. I think he's done alright considering this season it's a new role for him and looked dangerous at times.

It’s not our defence, it’s the complete lack of a screen they get from Winks and Ricardo.

 

 

A lot of truth in that to be fair.. but I don't think Doyle is covering himself in much glory.

This is the football you dream of you team playing (ignoring the dodgy defending), quick pass and movements, one touch passing and going through teams like a hot knife through butter. 

 

Imagine how good this could get when Enzo Gets them all clicking properly. 

 

 

Hmmm Southampton rely on their attacking presence. 
It been nice to watch as we haven’t been facing a low block.

[FoxyJim1987]

Is it just me or are people quite negative and underplaying the fact we are 3-1 up at half time away from home at a fellow promotion challenger?

[Chico1958]

A shout out to McAteer does his defensive duties as well as getting a goal.

 

Did we really need get anyone else really ?

Having reread my post, and then Stan’s, I can conclude that I didn’t read his post properly because wine. 
 

…which means I was not wrong, just misdirected.

Jeez man why did they show us a clip of Sulemana in training

He has slotted in nicely, looks the part for sure  and showing he can easily play at this level

Couldn't have gone better really, some calamity defending and honking finishing in places so it's amazing to be 3-1 up at half time. Great to see us finally put more than a couple chances away in such a short space of time and against what you would expect to be one of our promotion rivals

No, but nice to have quick legs and attacking threat on the bench 

[Leeds Fox]

So far, Vesty looks like a proper leader. Complete turnaround from what I expected to see. He’s playing well, but has stepped up as a senior player (as he should). Fair play.

Fair play to the posters who are happily eating a bit of crow. Actually, I really rate posters that put themselves out on a limb but are mature enough to accept when they are proven otherwise.

 

Ndidi has made mistakes in this game, he's far from perfect. But so far he's had a good season for us and probably among our better players. For me, he's been a better player both today and all season than KDH.

I actually think KDH has been really good today as well but yeah Wilf will win me over if he carries on like this. He looks awkward and ungainly a lot of the time but his ability to win the ball higher up and find space is impressive.

Welcome to FoxesTalk! 😂

[Guest Mee-9]

Was meant to be seeing Busted in Nottingham tonight with the missus. (Not my idea at all, promise) 
 

Arrived in the land of the trees, and saw more crackheads walking through the city centre than you do in our fair city. Get to slim chicken, order a honey glazed bbq burger and friends. However 10 minutes later i’m chundering all over the toilet after feeling like ass all day.  
 

Missus drives home and we get back its 1-3. I’m not putting it on to jinx us.

 

Off to sleep now, hopefully won’t soil the bed. Hope we win! Will report in the morning about the state of play. (Whether I’ll have to go off to Dunelm and get more bed sheets.)
