RedSoxUK Posted 14 January 2014 Posted 14 January 2014 Appreciation thread for the best right back Leicester has had since the prospectful Richard Stearman. (Kyle Naughton was class, but not a perm) Let's be honest, 25 years old, Man United appearences in his past, a solid developing season last year, and the chance of being a 30 game plus right back and back-up Belgium international in the Prem next year. In this form, DeLaet will be our RB for the following five years! MotM on Friday for sure, solid performance both defensively and in attack.
Guest shearfox Posted 14 January 2014 Posted 14 January 2014 Underrated in my view, was a massive miss when he was injured and that showed in some of the results.
Libertine Dream Posted 14 January 2014 Posted 14 January 2014 Open up an appreciation thread and then insult him by mentioning Richard Stearman in the same sentence
The Doctor Posted 14 January 2014 Posted 14 January 2014 Best right back since Stearman? Bloody hell we've had some shit of late then.
Guest shearfox Posted 14 January 2014 Posted 14 January 2014 Best right back since Stearman? Bloody hell we've had some shit of late then. Better than Stearman but not Naughton...
Kitchandro Posted 14 January 2014 Posted 14 January 2014 Ok I've criticised his defending at times, but comparing him to Stearman is just stink.
RedSoxUK Posted 14 January 2014 Author Posted 14 January 2014 Open up an appreciation thread and then insult him by mentioning Richard Stearman in the same sentence He looked pretty good for us, and did rather well for Wolves in the prem as a RB / CB It does make me feel good that Liam Moore is like a better Richard Stearman, and so young.
Unabomber Posted 14 January 2014 Posted 14 January 2014 He is having a great season and we have been much better especially at home since his return from injury.

LCFC FOX Posted 14 January 2014 Posted 14 January 2014 Love Ritchie my favourite player if you hadn't noticed

Are you kidding? He was average for us (fvck me, I'm so glad we don't have someone who's only passing technique is to play a hopeful ball up the sideline supposedly in an attempt to find someone who had absolutely no chance of getting it) and he was utter dogturd for Wolves in the Prem. Every other week he'd score an own goal or fvck up for a goal. Shit player and it says more about the era than it does about him that some people rated him.

It was hard going back further, and apart from Kyle we have had shit - but Stearman was okay / decent. Stil miles better than Canero, Maybury, Neilson etc..
Dan Posted 14 January 2014 Posted 14 January 2014 He's improved defensively without losing any of his attacking threat. He's the best right back in the league for me and he could definitely play in the top flight.
Jace Posted 14 January 2014 Posted 14 January 2014 A mate of mine who is a Man Utd fan mentioned to me at the end of match of the day on Saturday night that he couldn't understand why they ever got rid of him and said he wondered where he had gone, the football league show was about to begin and I said wait for this goal in a minute your about to find out
Sampson Posted 14 January 2014 Posted 14 January 2014 You realised how much we missed him when he was injured. Because Knockaert is given a free-role he seems to play more as a wing-back than a full-back and he has the pace and stamina to be able to do that and it gives the side real balance. None of our other players would be able to fulfill the same role as effectively.
Bryn Posted 14 January 2014 Posted 14 January 2014 He's class, think he's played a massive part in our form of late. As I said in the Derby player ratings, he's quick, he's strong, he can defend and he can play.
Bryn Posted 14 January 2014 Posted 14 January 2014 He's alright, but he is no Darren Kenton. i just vomited a little bit in my mouth. THAT shows us where we've come from.
kingfox Posted 14 January 2014 Posted 14 January 2014 i just vomited a little bit in my mouth. THAT shows us where we've come from. I had him on my shirt once, he signed it as well. Our squad was so shit then, I was stuck for choice.
Bryn Posted 14 January 2014 Posted 14 January 2014 I had him on my shirt once, he signed it as well. Our squad was so shit then, I was stuck for choice. I remember there was a general positive buzz about Kenton, he'd been been playing in the top flight and could play anywhere across the backline. In fairness to him he did alright, but still, Darren Kenton ffs.
Narborough_fox Posted 14 January 2014 Posted 14 January 2014 Anyone remember when we seemed to play a team of Right backs under Levein? What depressing days.
I blame Wellens Posted 14 January 2014 Posted 14 January 2014 Love Ritchie my favourite player if you hadn't noticed Get lost he can't be your favourite player because he is my favourite player. And I bet he has been my favourite player longer than you. So there!
dmayne7 Posted 14 January 2014 Posted 14 January 2014 Stearman goes straight into the Fryatt category for me. Gets such unwarranted abuse. He was a very good player. The defence we had when we went down was pretty impressive just let down by the awful midfield and attack! Richie is a cracking player. Decent defensively and excellent going forward. Another fantastic Pearson signing.
