Foxfromburbage Posted 18 August 2013 Share Posted 18 August 2013 He was our best striker v Derby and if fans support him and he will serve us well as either back up or if he improves further ( who knows) a first team regular. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VLC86 Posted 18 August 2013 Share Posted 18 August 2013 The point I'm trying to make is its early days but don't write him off, my panties are well and truly on correctly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Fox Posted 18 August 2013 Share Posted 18 August 2013 Glad he is shutting some of our utter clueless fans up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clazie Posted 18 August 2013 Share Posted 18 August 2013 I'd certainly place him above Nugent at the moment, but he hasn't looked like a threat really. Fantastic work rate as usual though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tontolcfc Posted 18 August 2013 Share Posted 18 August 2013 Lcfc2013, on 18 Aug 2013 - 3:58 PM, said: Without causing them problems? So his goal against Boro wasn't a problem?His flick yesterday didnt create a goal?He didnt play a pass that put Wood through?Give the guy a break! He's been the best of our 3 strikers this season so far so lets get behind him I like him, I also thought that the side put out against Derby was the most balanced I've seen for some time and hope they can continue to play Vardy Wood and Nugent together, Jamie and David work back like midfielders and gives the opposition something to think about.

XLM Posted 18 August 2013 Share Posted 18 August 2013 Just needs a bit of training on his touch and finishing. Pace and workrate is definitely there for all to see, but his attacking positioning still reflects a lower league player. All in good time though, i'm sure he's working very hard to learn how to better his trade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LCFC FOX Posted 18 August 2013 Share Posted 18 August 2013 I'm glad hes doing well and gaining some form but in my opinion I still think Waghorn is a better player with a run of games. Many will not agree but I certainly think Wood, Nugent, Waghorn and Schlupp are better striking options Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coatsworthstache Posted 18 August 2013 Share Posted 18 August 2013 He's still the bang average player from last season. Lots of bustle, lots of chasing, very little quality. He's maybe a bit more comfortable at this level now, and knows what to expect from opposition defenders. As for comparisons with other strikers in our squad I'd rather have wood back bang in form than vardy (obviously if I can have both in form that would be nice).

Banks Posted 18 August 2013 Share Posted 18 August 2013 He's showing why we paid £1 million for him. Brilliant workrate and a very useful player to have, well done Vardy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StanSP Posted 18 August 2013 Share Posted 18 August 2013 He started well last season, too... Not to say I'm not backing him at the moment, but I'll wait to see how he does further along the season. But I'm glad he is making his mark early on. What he's doing at the moment and the way he is playing right now is for the good of the club, so I'm happy!

tommyh Posted 18 August 2013 Share Posted 18 August 2013 i rekon that if he is used regularly in our next 10 games he will probly have 7-8 goals, wouldnt be a bad return at all! Just needs supporting if things arnt all going his way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strokes Posted 18 August 2013 Share Posted 18 August 2013 Come on guys, whilst it is nice he has started well, it takes alot more than three games to be considered as changing his class. Remember junior lewis had 3 good games in a row once and he was utter turd. Well played jamie, keep it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SmithyFox12 Posted 18 August 2013 Share Posted 18 August 2013 I thought last season he deserved more game time. Glad he's started this years campaign well and will hopefully carry on to do so. Always been a fan of the lad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grewks Posted 18 August 2013 Share Posted 18 August 2013 I fail to see how it is. Iain Hume has scored more goals for us at this level than Vardy. He currently plays a level below because that seems to be his standard. If you were to ask City fans who is better Iain Hume or Jamie Vardy I'd imagine most fans would say Hume owing to the fact he scored 9, 13 and 11 goals in three seasons. Wood and Nugent do have limitations but this is a thread about Vardy. If you would like to see my criticisms of Wood and Vardy then feel free to look in their respective threads or in most post match threads. You cannot compare him to Hume. By the time hume had joined us he had already played 6 games in the football league...thus far vardy has only played one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So far this season he has performed better than Nugent and Wood, whilst also scoring more than Charlie Austin. Nugent isn't a player which has a lot of technical ability in my opinion either, but he has made a career for himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nugent isn't a player which has a lot of technical ability in my opinion either, but he has made a career for himself. Disagree - good all round ability - good with his head, has two good feet, makes intelligent runs, finds space for himself. Best striker at the club by miles, not because of the goals he scores, but because he has the ability to pull defences around and often is marked more closely than others, allowing more space for our other strikers.

muzzy1981 Posted 18 August 2013 Share Posted 18 August 2013 Like to see him partnered with waggy, wood, nuge and Vardy are all to similar for me none great at coming deep with back to goal, all like pushing on last man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MGLCFC Posted 18 August 2013 Share Posted 18 August 2013 He has more loose touches than anyone in our team. What more than Wood, Dyer, Knockeart, Vardy, Drinkwater, Waghorn - you must be watching a different team to me. The bloke hasn't had a pre-season yet shows the class that made him an International player. Nugent will score you 15 goals a season, Vardy hopefully will match him. Just running around does not make you a good striker, it's the intelligence of the runs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure if you're being serious or not but are you claiming that I can't claim that one day he might be as good as Iain Hume because Iain Hume was better than Vardy is now?
