Both loans from Man City, no? Both left backs?

 

Doyle from a few years ago was a very competent player with the ball but again couldn't defend.

 

[shilton_fox]

Always seem to hesitate going forward, resulting in him having to pass backwards. Countless times he could have burst forward and played the ball into the box. Frustrating

[st albans fox]

Looked like he may have pulled something so Thomas will be looking after the position for a few games 

[Tommy Fresh]

Being absolutely done a few times by Wanya cutting back inside, in the exact same way, says all you need to know

Wanya tore him to bits didn't he

 

(Shame Wanya didn't really kick on for us. He has talent, and he should be an asset at this level. Sometimes a player needs a change of scene - guess he's one of them)

[Sol thewall Bamba]

The defending for Wanya's goal bloody hell. 

[coolhandfox]

Was ripped against Oxford a number of time and has struggled since.

Crap

Looks like he's defending on ice to me. 

 

Completely crap.

Perhaps the problem loaning defenders from Man City is that they don't actually have to do much defending in their academy, so look world beaters going forward. I like the idea of attacking full backs, but our best full backs in recent years could actually defend. Simpson, Fuchs, Berner, Konchesky for example. For how good Ricardo was, he wasn't the best defensively and that goes for many of the so called attacking full backs that have been at Leicester over the last 5 or 6 years.

Didn’t pep famously say he doesn’t work on defending?

Honestly as bad as Thomas is, this guy somehow looks worse. Terrible signing yet again as most of them have been so far. 

[Kinowe Soorie]

Looks out of his depth with very basic defensive flaws.

[Tiny earl]

He’s achieving the seemingly impossible - making Thomas look good !

[Stuntman_Mike]

He's a young lad playing in a dodgy system with zero first team experience, it's no surprise he's struggling. 

 

Played well against Plymouth which was the whole teams best performance.

I didn't like to say that but Thomas looks assured by comparison

Where has this crap come from that we played well against Plymouth. We were doggo and plymouth could score even with our keeping passing to them about 4 yards away from goal.

It was our best team performance. I wasn't suggesting we were brilliant. 

[Danno]

Think I heard why he got left out of recent games on the Fozcast - lied about having a flat tire cos he overslept for a 11.15am session 🤣

[LeePhilpottsBaldSpot]

I've called plenty of players' potential and ability wrong, and I hope I'm wrong again with my first impressions of this guy.

 

Same goes for all this year's loanees except for Howell, who clearly has ability.

Howell will be good in 3 years. But he’s not going to be good for us this season

Kamari Doyle looks alright as well, but I agree with the others. They are going to end up being squad fillers.

We wouldn’t get him in 3 years tbf.

A Reading fan I know thinks he's class, but not sure I like the idea of developing him over Page / Braybrooke / Neale.

 

Same goes for Watson getting minutes over Alves.

 

That said, I thought Harry Kane was crap when we had him on loan, so I won't be writing any of them off just yet!
