Why the **** did we give Choudhury a new deal? Another Rudkin masterclass.

£40k a week as well, mad

[Bryn]

Chance we get hammered here. Premier League teams waste far fewer chances.

Slow players are fine if we can compliment them elsewhere. Faes isn’t exactly an ideal parter. Soyuncu and his pace and on ball ability would have been a major asset this season. 

Agree, would rather have Nelson, but injured.

[Muzzy_no7]

Winks and KDH should not have featured in this game

Vestergaard stepping up to almost the half way line out of possession to track Jackson is suicidal, same sort of thing Rodgers used to have him doing. 
 

Need to play to his strengths and cover his weaknesses.

Spot on. As soon as Vestie let Jackson turn, you knew what was coming. Literally Mickey Mouse defending and we’d be slaughtered in the Prem league for that.

I’m reaching the conclusion that the drop off of form is more about how we are defending, than attacking 

[foxfanazer]

We've got nothing about us. Absolutely no threat

On this evidence be grateful if we don't get promoted. 

We will improve this squad if we go up. 
 

Well, bring in people that suit the system at least. They might have less overall ability, however can at least play the system.

This is why it might be good not to get promoted. Imagine sitting through this every week.

If Enzo is still manager

1) this system will work in the premier league. We are already getting into dangerous positions.

2) however we need quality speedy defenders for it to realistically work.

 

 

This system is pony for the premier league with the players we can attract, pissing about at the back will cost us loads more goals than it creates in the prem

Faes and Hamza could have expected an able bodied human being not to let Jackson just walk past him. That's why they were caught unawares.

This will damage us for going up.

Sorry but you have to expect him to be beaten, good defenders read the danger.

[foxes_rule1978]

We are doing absolutely nothing, getting the 

whisky out because I need it to get through this garbage 

[Dahnsouff]

Good work KDH

[TeamRocket]

Might have been better to just play the kids this game and rest everyone else 

[ARM1968]

Gulf in class is quite dramatic. As expected. We may well get an absolute beating. Not going to help us. 

[Guest Col city fan]

Something has to change or we are losing here kids. We are too open in the midfield. 

[Clever Fox]

Doyle is dreadful.

[The Quick Brown Fox]

Fatawu scoring that goal against Bournemouth may be the worse thing to happen to him. He now thinks he can do it every time and is looking silly trying to get into the position for the shit. Needs to calm down and look for the pass more.

Because tbf on his day he can be decent... he's either shit or gets motm he shouldn't be a starting player though should just be a decent backup. I'd have played justin there surely he can do the right back role coming into midfield... plus he's better defensively...

[filbertway]

On the plus side, its a nice reminder that we don't need to offer Vesty a new contract.

 

Been frustratingly poor in the final 3rd when we've got there so far.

 

Not terrible so far by any means. 

[foxes_rule1978]

That was good though 

[StanSP]

Kdh doing well 

[chapero82]

We look terrible 

[Guest Col city fan]

Well score today, I’ve little worry about that. But we’ll concede more too

You’ve got to get Choudhury off

Give him credit, he’s turned ball watching into an art form!

Because he can do a job in the championship, saving funds for purchases like Winks, and he's FFP-friendly as a homegrown player.

 

You'd be moaning if his contract ran down
