It’s reflected in Martins teams managed managerial statistics, currently standing at GF 391 and GA 391. I’m no expert, but I believe out scoring the other team is generally accepted as the way to win a game 2 14
filbertway Posted 26 August Posted 26 August 2 hours ago, DJ Barry Hammond said: This game will show whether Martin is learning anything about his squad - and whether he’s actually willing to compromise his tactics to solve problems and get the best out of players. Every game so far he has structured the central midfield in a 1-2; one holding, two advanced, or a pair of 8’s if you will. However; what’s been quite apparent for all of the games so far is that approach has left us too vulnerable on transition; it’s costing us goals. Add in that Chaplin is quite clearly a quality player, you want to get him in your side in his best position and with the space to create - so you want him as the classic number. That means a switch to a 2-1 midfield; two holding (at least initially), one advanced; feels like a necessity this weekend - especially given you can imagine Braybrooke and Page could work really well as a pair in those slots. There really is no reason for Martin not to do this. But will he do this? Will he make a switch to his desired shape? My hunch is no 😏 - i guess we’ll know for sure shortly after 12:30 on Saturday. The year is 2050. Russell Martin has postponed retirement to help his beloved Brighton get out of their post Tony Bloom spiral. Somewhere, someone on GullsTalk Is asking...has Martin learned to change? 1
FoxesFan100 Posted 26 August Posted 26 August Jesus, there’s way too much negativity. How about, for your mental healths sake, invest your time in something other than Leicester… go out and enjoy your weekend instead of constantly complaining and moaning, maybe you’ll all feel better. I get it, our owners have royally messed up but being always doom mongers won’t help matters. Even though we lost, there were a lot of positives to go into this weekend. Try a positive outlook for a change? My rant is over so I’d go with the following team: McCarthy JJ Aluko Souttar McFarlane Braybrooke Page Chaplin Howell Bristric Alves 3-0 win, Bristric getting two and Chaplin the other. 1 1
em9999 Posted 26 August Posted 26 August No souttar in team thankyou he looks like he doesnt give a shit .. Would rather play a kid 1

Im quite happy to have a player like Chaplin, actually demanding more from people around him. That has been sorely missing. Don’t disagree with that 👍 1

Kangasniemi for Souttar. No idea if he is any good, but can’t be any worse. 🤞 5

Think we might have a Mark Davies situation from last time in league one where the guy is miles ahead of the level. Mark Davies was recalled (was that in L1?). Don't know if Howell's can be?

Corky Posted 26 August Posted 26 August Win the game and we can move on from this historical aberration of our current position. God, it is dire. 1

adejo92 Posted 27 August Posted 27 August Its a long season, so i am willing to forget the first two games based on what we saw against Ipswich which, despite the score, was a huge improvement. I just hope RM is willing to make the changes again. Some of the football we played against Ipswich would have absolutely played league 1 opposition off the pitch. Excited and positive for it......somehow..
FosseSpark Posted 27 August Posted 27 August Stolarczyk Joseph Aluko Kangasniemi McFarlane Braybrooke Burns Chaplin Page Watson Bristric subs: McCarthy Choudhury Thomas Cullen Alves Howell Okoli

I think Alves has been more impressive than Watson so far but those two will invariably rotate as players like them pair are likely to impact games off the bench at times too and may get assists and goals more so than in games they start if that makes sense. Thought Burns was honking vs Ipswich when he came on and Howell was class so again he's got to maintain very high standards.
FoxesTez Posted 27 August Posted 27 August Convinced he’ll start Thomas at CB again, he was raving about his performance there midweek.
RonnieTodger Posted 27 August Posted 27 August Not giving them a goal scoring chance in the first minute would be nice

He raved about him but also implied he wouldn’t play CB again unless in an emergency. Which likely means one thing: he’ll start at LB again. 1
Muzzy_no7 Posted 27 August Posted 27 August 52 minutes ago, FoxesTez said: Convinced he’ll start Thomas at CB again, he was raving about his performance there midweek. Think he wants a left footed CB to sign or loan and this was a nudge to the board.
