Head Honcho Posted 3 December 2006 Share Posted 3 December 2006 elvis did a FAR better job then fryatt would of, he ran his bollocks off today, as he always does. paddy i can kindof understand where your coming from and josh low i agree with, as for the rest who gives a fook they will be gone when mandaric comes in Unfortunately you don't get any points for "running your bollox off" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fez of Mahrez Posted 6 December 2006 Share Posted 6 December 2006 I would stay onside more than Elvis does. The worst thing about it is how many goals has he scored by beating the offside trap, sprinting clear of the defence and burying the goal in the back of the net past a hapless keeper? None. But he got fouled just as he was about to do just that at Elland Road this season, therefore this should count as an extra goal. All of Elvis's goals are tap-ins (I shall henceforth re-christen them knee-ins and arse-ins to better suit the nature of the actual contact with the ball) for which he hasn't needed to use the pace everyone drones on about all the time. Found it Woolers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The People's Hero Posted 6 December 2006 Share Posted 6 December 2006 Found it Woolers. That's a very good post and makes a number of decent posts. I've disected it and used it to 'inspire' ( ) about 50 of my own posts. I use my points sparingly you see, one in each, if that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C-man Posted 6 December 2006 Share Posted 6 December 2006 Elvis Hammond might be shit and have the finishing skills of a premature ejaculator, but I'd rather him play than Fryatt. Simply because he causes defences a lot more problems than Fryatt does. I'd like to see Hammond implemented on the right wing. He can't be any worse there than Low or Sylla, and at least he has pace. I dont see what Tim Davies and Andrew Taylor have done wrong, but as thankful as I was to Rob Kelly for keeping us up, he has to go if we dont beat Barnsley, maybe Cardiff and Hull.

Thracian Posted 6 December 2006 Share Posted 6 December 2006 Unfortunately you don't get any points for "running your bollox off" And we don't get many points through Fryatt/Low/Sylla not running their bollox off. But I echo your feelings about RK completely. Results would undoubtedly help but it's not just results - it's the manner by which the results come about.

DanTheFoxBhoy Posted 6 December 2006 Share Posted 6 December 2006 Tim Davies Andrew Taylor Robert Kelly Mike Stowell Ian Miller Those five are an absolute disgrace to the proud name of Leicester City Football Club, clueless each and everyone of them. Hearty congratulations on guiding us to oblivion while lining your sky-rockets. At least Dick Turpin wore a mask. Partick McCarthey Elvis Hammond Josh Low :laugh: Professional footballers, my arse. Absolute disgrace to the profession never mind the Club. I never thought I'd live to see the day where we have a worse defender than Grant Brown, a midfielder more inept than Junior Lewis and a striker () that makes Ade Akinbiyi look like a player. Talkin' shite as usual. Where's your master plan to bring in those ready replacements? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ric Flair Posted 8 December 2006 Share Posted 8 December 2006 why not give elvis a go on the right!!! a good point and also put in a very funny way top marks!!! 1) He can't cross 2) He can't pass 3) He can't take players on 4) He can't tackle 5) He can't head the ball (our goalie loves to hoof the ball to our right winger) 6) He'll be nearer to our fans, meaning he'll hear the abuse more and his confidence will be in tatters.

Ric Flair Posted 8 December 2006 Share Posted 8 December 2006 **** it he' runs alot play em on the right. It makes me piss how people think Elvis would be good on the right wing just because he can run quickly. Yet, i've never seen him take a player on and successfully shoot or pass the ball. It's a myth. If we are desperate to put a striker on the wing then Chris O'Grady is about the best bet, other than Hume but he needs to be upfront. The OG, can at least tackle, pass and cross the ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teblin Posted 8 December 2006 Share Posted 8 December 2006 In regards to McCarthey, I think the people who are saying he is not good enough are not far wrong. Makes tackles in the wrong areas, get dragged out of position all of the time. Struggles with a big strong striker. Thats as well as him having a problem with discipline. As for elvis, he is alright until he gets the ball, which is not much use in football is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thracian Posted 8 December 2006 Share Posted 8 December 2006 As i've said before, Elvis should be re-nicknamed The Jigsaw. Because he falls to pieces in the box. Clever nickname but harsh. As I say, Hammond's had the ball in the net nearly as often as Fryatt, more this season, and far more often than Sylla or Low. His big in-the-box chance last Saturday he hit the target fine, but the goalkeeper narrowed the angle and saved well. And he soon put that recently disallowed "goal" away. I've nothing against O'Grady, he's usually done okay for the side in my view, but he never seems fit and he's generally ridiculed on here. Which as far as our existing personnel is concerned only leaves Gradel who is probably the player we should have looked tofor right winger in the first place. You know - a genuiinely specialist winger. Square peg for square hole. And one who scores at the rate of close to a goal a game. He might be flawed but the alternatives have flaws. At least with Gradel he has the known ability to do some things well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The People's Hero Posted 8 December 2006 Share Posted 8 December 2006 Well I remember Fryatt having a header disallowed at home against Ipswich so you can chalk that one up for him on your 'disallowed goals count' scheme. I'm yet to hear a decent argument for Hammond. Many posters have summed it up... pace, nothing else. Even IF he beats his player (which is extremely rare) what is he going to do? He can't pass and he can't shoot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fryatt scored more last season then Elvis has in his entire career. It is perfectly obvious watching Fryatt that it was last season as well. He might have cost us a few bob but he's limited, he's not fully fit and he's been sussed. Besides, I've never suggested he compete for Fryatt's place - that would go to Dodds. I've simply said Hammond is a far better bet for goals from wider positions than Sylla or Low (put together). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have no evidence of that seeing as Hammond has been playing as a striker, and most of his goals have been from 2 yards. Josh Low has only had 11 games this season so it's to early to judge him.
