Have I missed an update on Ndidi? When's he due back in training?

Last update was last week

 

Jan 09: 'He’s continuing his individual training. He’s not yet with the team. He’s pushing harder on an individual basis. Hopefully, we can welcome him to team training over the coming weeks.'

No doubt we will see the Soumare/Winks midfield again, which for 6 games now has proven its not working.

 

We didn’t think Soumare was good enough for the Championship, yet he seems Ruud’s first name on the sheet and has coincided with our worst run of the season.

Absolutely agree.  Thought I was the only one who'd noticed (despite SIX consecutive defeats) . Got slagged off when I said the same yesterday.

Had a scan over their recent results and to say it was a mixed bag would be an understatement. In their last 10:

 

2 wins (Brighton, Chelsea)

6 draws, which has included Arsenal and Liverpool but also Ipswich and Southampton 

2 losses (Wolves, West Ham)

 

An odd team, far from unbeatable. Though will need to actually finish some chances seeing as we're incapable of conceding fewer than 2.

Maybe this is the game we score 4 in the first half and things start to look on the up! 

 

Then the 2nd half happens and we lose 5-4.

We need an performance like this.

[SafewayFox]

I think my interest in LCFC is at an all time low.

 

Not sure if it’s the off field BS that has been mentioned so many times or the unlikeable squad of players that we have but something feels different. 

[Pliskin]

Soumare needs to be dropped. He offers absolutely **** all in the midfield at all, he’s such a passenger. I think it’s time to give Skipp a run out again, along side Winks, where he actually looked at his best I thought. Ruud won’t do it, but I think the team should be..

Woyo                                                            VK

                Skipp                  Winks 

 

      Buonanotte                                 Bilal 

 

                                 Vardy 

 

He’s got to get something different, six defeats in a row would suggest he needs to look at something else. 

[cruzFOX]

This is an absolute MUST MUST MUST WIN game if we are ever gonna stand a chance. I have a feeling our rivals will falter again. Gotta take advantage. We are running out of runway fast. 

[OntarioFox]

Skipping this one. Work ends an hour before kickoff for me, and i can't be arsed with the stress of battling my way into town and rushing to the ground for a potential repeat of Wednesday.

 

Be the first one I've missed that I could actually get to in 18 years.

Yup we looked a bit more of a threat with Daka and Vardy up top, as much as we love Vardy it's painful watching him up there on his own.

 

He needs to change something and hopefully this new lad can add something to the attack.

Agree, would play without wingers as I just don’t trust Mav.

It’s going to click guys. I don’t know if this is the game. But it is.

Was trying to fit Facundo in, but he is another who should bot be an automatic starter

Then what happens?

We spend the next ten years wondering if it clicked at Crystal Palace if we would’ve stayed up. Great chat before we play Notts County away in League One

The back four is a defensive joke. Let's go to last seasons three and try wing backs. 

[ronnup]

Does anyone give a shit anymore 

[FoyleFox]

I've hidden the OH's lucky FFC socks and put money on a Fulham win. The rest is up to RVN and the lads... please don't let me down,I know it's unlikely but I'm getting mullered in the household bragging rights*

 

 

 

* Although I do frequently mention we've won multiple actual proper trophies v 0 ever for FFC!

Amazing that Fulham are just one of a number of current Premier League clubs that have never won even one of the major domestic trophies in their history, ever. Palace, Brighton, Bournemouth, Brentford, just off the top of my head. Many not won anything for decades.

im all for us trying a 3 at the back wingback system

think the only changes id make would be maybe Soumare for either Winks or Skipp, and Daka for Vardy

[Realist Guy In The Room]

Soumare is dogshit but you cannot play Skipp & Winks together and given the lack of options (please dont say shit about trying Faes or Vesty at DM), it’ll be Soumare and one of Skipp or Winks in midfield.

I imagine Ayew will come back in for Buonanotte and I can see Kasey coming in for Mavididi.

 

It’ll be absolutely awful and we’ll lose again.

Don't do it to yourself my friend! 

[Leicesterpool]

At the moment it feels like trash that we had to watch between 2004-2008, the depressing period battling the wrong end of the championship until we finally got relegated in 2008.

[lcfcfoz]

Win this and we will be out of the bottom 3
