Bring Thomas in for Kristiansen. Daka in for Vardy Mavindidi starting Skipp for Soumare Anybody in for Vestergaard and Faes Just sick of seeing the same underperforming line up get beaten every week, and literally nothing changes for the next game except Ruud changes one winger. Thomas 😂😂😂😂 5

I do think though that what we have learned is that with the personnel we've got and at this level, square pegs in round holes just isn't going to work and even in his favoured position, JJ has been suspect all season and in fairness I think confidence has been a contributory factor. Coady on the right of a three including Vestergaard and Okoli would be the three for me. Coady has played there and even right back before. Vestergaard when not playing a high line is acceptable and Okoli does seem to add some grit. Whether he'd cope on the left of a three who knows. On the bright side we do get to ditch Faes! 🤣 Edited 5 March by volpeazzurro 1

I like your thinking Jim. We should have got rid of those which have let us down time after time months ago i.e Faes, Kristensen, James - I agree Soumare can look a player but what does he add - absolutely **** all. Those coming in also may not be up to the job but keep doing the same thing and expecting different outcomes is true insanity and infuriating to watch. At some point you have to break from what you've been doing and try something else. The front 4 has to be Facundo Bilal Mavi Vardy Not ideal but at least there's some ability in there I'd play Skipp alongside Wilf - I'd play Winks but he's been shocking too Back 4 - Really we should be paying a 5 but we just don't have the players for it - Possibly something to play when Ricky's back? 1

fox_favourite Posted 5 March Posted 5 March Doesn't matter - 0 The players, manager and more importantly the club have given up this season, intentionally or not. We won't score in this game, we won't play good football. It's a cycle that seems stuck. 1
Stuntman_Mike Posted 5 March Posted 5 March Just realised this isn't the 2pm Sky game, it's Spurs v Bournemouth.

Jazzy_Jeff Posted 5 March Posted 5 March He would never do this but this is what I would start with. Need some pace and energy at the top end and need to be sturdier at the back.
tinpot_fox Posted 5 March Posted 5 March I’ve mentally checked out and I don’t even think any of these players are willing to throw themselves around to get a random body part connecting to the ball to divert it into the net, get Mr Roberts in to show them how that is done. I did have hope in some of the sidelined players to eventually come in and make a go of it after decent cameos earlier in the season but Thomas/Bou etc have lost the ball far too much when they been given a start later in the season. So I’m not loudly shouting for a change in players on the pitch, and changes in formation can’t be working on the training ground or Ruud simply doesn’t trust the players not to capitulate when given a new task. If I knew the answer to this conundrum I’d be a highly paid coach/manager myself lol.
TheLittleBigMan Posted 5 March Posted 5 March This could quite possibly be the most boring game of the season. Enzo ball vs a championship team. Although i'm proud of my fellow foxes fans that are going to the game - you must be fu*king mental. 1

Tommy G Posted 5 March Posted 5 March How many have we sold for this? We need every single person going to the match to come on here and personally explain why, because I'm out of reasons why you would go. Even a free ticket isn't a good enough reason. We should vote with out feet at least at away matches and boycott. There's not chance of that happening at home games. 1

Well, except maybe in court when she testifies against you 1
