He had little support from Soumare for the second goal but that said he was a bomb scare every time Huddersfield went down his side in the second half. The challenge for the penalty was unnecessary and his positional play was exposed on a number of occasions. Coulibaly must be bad if he's behind Hamza in the pecking order at RB

Hamza is the same as Luke Thomas and Kasey McAteer - Just about useful as squad fillers, but rarely anything more than that. 

I'd prefer we didn't need them, but unfortunately we do right now.

I watched him pretty much every week he was at Sheff Utd last season and his defending of the box in the right back position was outstanding, he rarely got beat when players would try to take him on. He would allow the opposition the space to run at him but as soon as they tried to attack the box he would engage and was more often than not successful in regaining possession or preventing them from getting past or putting the ball across. So it was absolutely baffling last night as to why he was dropping so narrow and allowing players to venture into the box. I can only imagine it was tactical but his strength is engaging and regaining possession. I don't buy the argument around the lack of support either, the message to the whole team seems to be to get bodies back within the width of the box and crowd the area rather than deal with the threat.

There 2nd goal was terrible defending and not all Hamza's fault. 

 

He did need to engage Ashia on the ball but couldn't as the overlap was the more dangerous outcome as they'd have been in behind and cutting the ball back. He got caught positionally as he was covering the passing lane. By the time cover got across (Soumare!) it was to late for Hamza to engage with Ashia and instead hoped to block or at least make it difficult. It was some finish. I'd imagine he scores that once in ten/twenty attempts or he'd be Premier League. 

 

This kind of action happened a lot in the last 15 minutes of the game where players were left exposed by team mates either out of position or to slow to support. I know we were 'going for it' some what but it had the feel of a pre season fixture with how exhausted some players (Soumare!) looked trying to cover.

He’s being asked to do a different role here than he was at Sheffield Utd. Here Martin wants him to advance and join the attack, it means there’s acres of grass for him to have to defend behind him. Facing up, Hamza is fine, 1v1 he rarely gets beaten, but if you’re asking him to defend the space in behind him, he can’t do it, positionally he’s always recovering, and then makes rash decisions. If he’s playing at RB he needs to invert into a CDM. Because then he can defend across a specific area. What he is being asked to do now is favouring all of his weaknesses.

Disagree, they're all more than good enough for the top half of the Championship, always put in the effort and play for the shirt.

Was he arguing with the fans at the end? Appeared to be pushed away by Ricky P and the kit man.

Blimey.....what the hell is going?

Yes, something was going on. He didn’t step off the pitch, but clearly got triggered by something. He walked away from the rest of our players, towards a section of our fans, gesturing and saying something and I saw he was pulled away.

There is zero connection between the players and fans and between the fans and club now, unsurprisingly. I’ve tried to stay positive longer than most, who are less delusional than me, but these first 3 games have been more toxic than I ever imagined they would be, again probably unsurprisingly.

We will drop if this carries on.

We’ll certainly be nowhere near the top 6 if it does. I guess at least Hamza reacted and I don’t mind seeing some rare fight and emotion from the players, even if it was off the pitch. Most players looked like clapping zombies with lots of clapping zombie fans returning the meaningless applause. 
No idea how the connection gets restored though until there’s massive changes. Too much history and nothing ever changes.

Yep. One of our own poisoned by this club culture into hating his own fans, rather than just taking his medicine.

 

Fvcking horrendous.

Him ‘liking’ some of the comments on Fatawu’s instagram post are just pathetic. They badly need to put the phones away.

He was partying with Ward after the Forest FA Cup game. He was doing all the shit during COVID. He couldn't give any less of a **** about Leicester if he tried. None of them do. It's just rotten.

This is so sad. Fans are pissed at the players. The players are pissed at the fans. Fans are pissed at the club owner and director and they don’t seem to give a damn about the fans. Manager seems lost in fog of it all trying to get control of the situation. 
we are a mess!
