Guest ttfn Posted 28 March 2009 Posted 28 March 2009 Dear Mr Oakley, Today I attended a football match between Leicester City and Peterborough United. As the captain of the former team, one would have expected you to be playing a significant role in the game. Imagine my surprise, therefore, when you forgot to turn up for the game! There was a guy wearing an armband, but I believe that he was watching the game. Indeed at one point he moved Max Gradel, our set piece taker and shanked the ball into the first defender. Matthew, as captain of Leicester, how could you let this person on the pitch?! You should have removed him from the pitch at the first opportunity - he could have been a threat to poor Max. Please turn up next time, I pay a lot of money to see you play, the least you could do is hop on the bus with the rest of the team. Yours, Bernie
Rocky Dennis Posted 28 March 2009 Posted 28 March 2009 Loada bollox mate, Oakley was one of our better players, were you drunk?

Yours, Bernie agree with you his set piece's are a joke .................as for captain :crylaugh:
Father Ted Posted 28 March 2009 Posted 28 March 2009 He had a good game on the whole I thought but please leave set-pieces to someone else!!
ousefox Posted 28 March 2009 Posted 28 March 2009 He was good compared to others. He does need to work on his set pieces.
Guest ttfn Posted 28 March 2009 Posted 28 March 2009 On the radio he sounded good.Ridiculous 'letter' I'm sorry mate, but I was at the game and the guy played poorly. You're basing your opinion on someone else's view of the game. I'm basing mine on having been there. And he was poor last week. But I tell you what let's all roll our eyes because someone who saw the game has criticised one of the players. In all honesty, he was very poor but worse last week. I'm disappointed because in King's absence, he really had to step up and he just disappeared. As for the captaincy, people on here seemed to hate Paddy McCarthy because he 'stood around and pointed'. You never see Oakley to that. That's exactly what he should be doing. McCarthy was a pretty crap centre back but a good captain. We need some horrible bastard to sit in midfield and gee everyone up when we're playing poorly - someone who can get the best out of players like Oakley
Shrenchel Posted 28 March 2009 Posted 28 March 2009 Oh yeah I see what you did there mate. Like, put your opinion in letter form and then tried to add a couple of jokes and that. You're a real talent.
maddog Posted 28 March 2009 Posted 28 March 2009 All our players played shit today, expect for Warner. Just an awful performance.

Guest ttfn Posted 28 March 2009 Posted 28 March 2009 Thanks. As I said I wasn't looking for one, but I'll take it. Now be a good lad and if you're going to criticise what I have to say do it in a constructive or at least reasoned manner.

Guest ttfn Posted 28 March 2009 Posted 28 March 2009 Who didn't? A fair point. But he's an experienced ex-Premier League player and the captain of the side. He's got to carry the can.
Ultra Posted 28 March 2009 Posted 28 March 2009 There were too many passengers in the side today. Crap setpieces apart, I don't think Oakley played particularly badly - certainly not as badly as Berner, Dickov or Dyer.
Fox92 Posted 28 March 2009 Posted 28 March 2009 Thought him and Hobbs were the best. His set pieces are poor at times but better than Gradel's - since he scored that goal at MK Dons, he has for some reason become our 'set piece taker'

skinnydipper Posted 28 March 2009 Posted 28 March 2009 Poppycock He was one of our better players today
Guest ttfn Posted 28 March 2009 Posted 28 March 2009 And plenty of other people who went to the game have made you look a tool? I can't stress this enough, it's an opinion. People haven't made me look a tool - people have different opinions. What I was contesting was that someone who wasn't at the game should see it fit to criticise my interpretation of the game from what he heard on the radio.
Simi Posted 28 March 2009 Posted 28 March 2009 PoppycockHe was one of our better players today Agreed, although lets not get carried away with the word "better". He was one of the few players that showed enthusiasm and a desire to spread the ball properly, dead balls were dreadful though.
