deep blue Posted 10 March 2011 Posted 10 March 2011 To win in this league we need a real ball winning tough tackling dynamo, we have Wellens to spray the ball around, King to score goals and make good runs etc and Abe to sit in front of defence but we need something better (no disrespect to Abe)> the ironic thing is we have a good midfield but not quite good enough (if 2 are having off days we dont perform). But when all said and done, the job is down to Sven and in Sven :sge: we trust Over the last few weeks posters have been calling for some new faces to give more options and to freshen up the squad; mostly, a strong midfielder and an extra goalscoring option. Just before the Norwich game several of our top 6 contenders did exactly that (in some cases with instant results). Do you think Sven has missed a trick? Or could it be that the QPR result was the watershed for the owners, and after that result they decided not to splash any more cash on this season?
Guest Col city fan Posted 11 March 2011 Posted 11 March 2011 Bullshit. Strong holding midfielder? What a load of crap. Why are people so hell bent on having some dipstick in the middle of the park 'getting stuck in'. Yes the last 4 games have been disapointing but Norwich aside we've hardly been outplayed. We created more than enough to get something from Cardiff, same against Cov and how we didnt beat QPR is quite beyond me. Yeah Norwich beat us convincingly but not by out-muscling us. They outpassed us and their movement was better. Having some thug in centre midfield wouldn't have changed that. As a footnote to the original post, Oakley was a great player 5 years ago. Now he's gash and I wish he'd **** off does anyone really read these posts? who said anything about a 'thug'? I said a strong, holding midfielder who could play a bit I don't see Jay Thomas or Howson as 'thugs'... and QPR still play Derry who's about 150.... Read the post..
Heart-Shaped Fox Posted 11 March 2011 Posted 11 March 2011 Pretty sure I'm right in saying Oaklye's contract is up in the summer, and I'd be amazed if we retained him. Though Sven must see something in him to carry on playing him.
shailen Posted 11 March 2011 Posted 11 March 2011 I would like to see moreno employed as a DM. I thought he looked a good player !

This is the rubbish people spouted about Taylor being a great coach, just apologist shite. l've just read that Oakley and Wellens have never played in a Leicester side together and won ! don't know if this is 100% but it makes you think eh !
