Oxfordfox83 Posted 11 February 2013 Share Posted 11 February 2013 I think we're approaching the issue from a false direction. I don't believe Vardy and Waghorn are that bad. I do, however, question the depth in squad when it comes to our midfield. We lack midfielders that can link up with our strikers, one Knockaert alone won't do the trick in the long run. And we're also desperately in need of a proper wide man. Also, top defence or not, the second goal at Peterborough was dreadful, and they had more chances like it. We looked confused at times, and when Wes is up for a header/following his man/on a mazy dribble, De Laet and Keane seem to switch off, waiting to be told what to do next. I'm not advocating any change in personnel, but illustrating that the issue is not as simple as "our striker's out, that's what's wrong", when it really isn't. We had issues throughout the pitch, which is why we lost. Waghorn's miss was hardly worse than Wood's at Wolves the week before, but our defensive frailties have been around for a couple of weeks now. Do we need to sign a new CB/RW/CM too? (Hint: no) A panic signing is not what we need-we have a season and a half of Swedish evidence that it doesn't work. Back the players, trust in the squad that is second in the league, and it will come good... .. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smudger63 Posted 11 February 2013 Share Posted 11 February 2013 He's as quick as Bolt, has the crossing of Beckham, the skills of Messi... bloody Pearson not playing him. Can Pearson never get anything wrong for you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smudger63 Posted 11 February 2013 Share Posted 11 February 2013 Love how all of a sudden as Schulpp hasn't played for ages he's automatically became the one who we have in the squad that's 'actually brilliant and Pearson never gave him a chance'. He is still a massive work in progress and from the limited time on the pitch he's had over the last 2 seasons his performances don't even merit a place above Vardy or Waghorn. Really, well he certainly hasn`t been given the chances that those two have been given, to prove you wrong, that is for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Babylon Posted 11 February 2013 Share Posted 11 February 2013 Can Pearson never get anything wrong for you? Yawn... He does plenty wrong. Not playing an average kid upfront ain't one of them. And not replacing Konchesky at left back when we have the best defence ain't one of them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Babylon Posted 11 February 2013 Share Posted 11 February 2013 Really, well he certainly hasn`t been given the chances that those two have been given, to prove you wrong, that is for sure. 29 appearances 2 goals, little impact from the bench. This is what people judged Waghorn on when he was a bit part player from the bench... So judge Schlupp the same. He's been bang average. People need to stop making out those who aren't playing are better than they actually are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neither did Kee, Wright, Petrescu, Chambers etc etc etc. Whom people said exactly the same as they do about Schlupp. They said 'he's not had a chance, they couldn't be any worse", well they all drifted off to know where.

He really looks out of his depth up front. Strange a he seems to have the attributes but the package doesnt seem to come together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to agree with this, people often have some emotional blindness over our youthteam players.Its very strange, i do like and rate schlupp but im just not sure he fits into our team. I think some on here would play him goal rather than have him on the bench. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.Lisemore Posted 12 February 2013 Share Posted 12 February 2013 Kevin Phillips on loan would have been nice for the short term. If Wood is out for a while we can't afford to keep playing Vardy or Waghorn up top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Langston Posted 12 February 2013 Share Posted 12 February 2013 We would certainly be keen to have him back once he's fit. Good player for us. Heard very good things about him and Nige loves an English youth - would really like to see us in for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

indierich06 Posted 12 February 2013 Share Posted 12 February 2013 I have to agree with this, people often have some emotional blindness over our youthteam players. Yet when we do produce a half decent player, he gets slagged off left right and centre. See the 'Kingy' thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dmayne7 Posted 12 February 2013 Share Posted 12 February 2013 29 appearances 2 goals, little impact from the bench. This is what people judged Waghorn on when he was a bit part player from the bench... So judge Schlupp the same. He's been bang average. People need to stop making out those who aren't playing are better than they actually are. The thing with Schlupp is that most of those games have been from the bench and when he was given a run in the team it came at a time when we were performing poorly and there was a negative atmosphere around the place. Vardy for example, has been given a long run in a team which has been doing very well. That meant he would be getting more chances and more time to take those chances and whilst he was decent at first he hasn't really been up to much for a while. Anybody writing off Waghorn was pretty foolish as he'd shown in the past that he cut it at this level and he had more to his game than just goals. Schlupp has all the attributes to be a top forward but I think he needs to be more selfish in his attacking play. He's only going to start doing that when he's given a run in the team. Personally I think if Waghorn has a run of games again he'll be a very valuable player to us but I don't think that Vardy should be ahead of Jeff in the pecking order as whenever I have seen Schlupp he looks good and coupled with the fact that he's 6 years younger than Vardy, he's going to have a better chance of being a player to match our ambition.

ScoutMan Posted 13 February 2013 Share Posted 13 February 2013 How about a loan move for Marvin Sordell who plays for Bolton. Give them a loan fee and take on his wages. He has a decent record in the Championship and Bolton signed Craig Davies in the last transfer window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
