MPH Posted 12 November 2012 Posted 12 November 2012 He had a very good game against us which is where people seem to form the opinion that he is an amazing striker. Portsmouth fans didn't actually rate Futacs very much at all either and from some brief cameos i've seen of him i can't see any reason why he'd help us, he's 6 foot 5 and can barely win anything in the air for crying out loud. Oh i dont think he is an amazing striker... i just think he can do a job that no one else can do... i think that having not won for 4 games... and playing a striker who hasnt scored in those games that perhaps he deserves a chance... especially if Nugent is now going to be out injured too...I just think that he's an option, and that now is the time to use that option.
MGLCFC Posted 12 November 2012 Posted 12 November 2012 But its taken several games for waghorn to start finding form... Yet he hasnt scored i dont think... But you put a big man on to win headers and he hardly won any. I don't expect him to score many, but at 6'5" I expect him to win the majority of balls in the air, yet at Watford, that just wasn't the case.

Waghorn has been given it and its shown the benefit... Perhaps Futacs needs the same?
Corky Posted 14 November 2012 Posted 14 November 2012 I would assume, given it's been a few days since the game, that nothing serious has occurred.
Bob Weasel Fox Posted 14 November 2012 Posted 14 November 2012 I would assume, given it's been a few days since the game, that nothing serious has occurred. i would hope to concur

I agree to a certain extent, but at Watford he just didn't look mobile and failed to get any elevation into his jumping. He was like a poor man's Nicklas Bendtner
goose2010 Posted 14 November 2012 Posted 14 November 2012 SSL was taking the mick on twitter last night so can't be too bad
FoxesAreBlue Posted 14 November 2012 Posted 14 November 2012 SSL was taking the mick on twitter last night so can't be too bad Could have snapped his leg off, he would still be capable of making jokes.
dpjfox Posted 15 November 2012 Posted 15 November 2012 lets hope his best strike partner Vardy is also fit
Fox in the North Posted 15 November 2012 Posted 15 November 2012 I thought waggy and nuge looked good up front together last week. Till nuge got injured, but I won't be complaining at all if the other partnership is restored.
Danno Posted 15 November 2012 Posted 15 November 2012 If Nuge is injured and Vardy is fit I think it should be Waghorn Knockaert Dyer Vardy
Walshy5 Posted 15 November 2012 Posted 15 November 2012 Theres a video on fox player titled nugent looking forward to town test. Cant view it as im not signed up but going by this id assume that hopefully he'll be fit.
chrishlcfc Posted 19 November 2012 Author Posted 19 November 2012 anybody heard anything new about nugents injury again. Heard its just a recurrence of his stiff neck, so hopefully its nothing serious

leicesterlad1989 Posted 22 November 2012 Posted 22 November 2012 Ian Stringer â€@StringerSport #lcfc boss Nigel Pearson's just told me David Nugent will be missing for the next couple of games with his neck injury. More at 6pm 104.9fm Not good!

More at 6pm 104.9fm Not good! Oh god It will be good I guess to see if and how we cope without him... Even though I know it will be vardy replacing him, I'd rather Futacs partner waggy up front to offer a new dimension.

indierich06 Posted 22 November 2012 Posted 22 November 2012 I think there's enough quality in this side to deal with the absence of one player, even if he is our leading scorer. We should have enough in the tank to get at least 6 points from the next three games, even without Nugent.

We should have enough in the tank to get at least 6 points from the next three games, even without Nugent. Although I do agree about the quality in the side, it's just disappointing that we have a player who is hitting form, after a slow start I suppose, get injured and it may nock the momentum he has gained.
Ric Flair Posted 22 November 2012 Posted 22 November 2012 This is annoying as Nugent is in great form and although he's only scored once away from home this season, he's the only striker we've been able to rely upon. However, Waghorn is getting better and Vardy now has a couple of starts ahead of him to get amongst it again. Does the loan window shut tonight? I wonder if we'll have a look at a striker for a month?

Ric Flair Posted 22 November 2012 Posted 22 November 2012 It closes today at 5pm. I'd be looking to bring someone in. Lingaard is not a striker, Schlupp is currently deployed as a left back so that only leaves Waghorn, Vardy and Futacs. It might be enough but why take the risk when we're in the top 6 in a tightly packed league.
Guest Col city fan Posted 22 November 2012 Posted 22 November 2012 We will be missing our only top class striker (at this level). Big blow, but I still think we'll win on Sat.
