Arriba Los Zorros Posted 22 January 2014 Posted 22 January 2014 Jamie Vardy, I'm so sorry. Liam Moore, I'm so sorry. Chris Wood - I was right, you can f off unless you pull your socks up.
DanDan Posted 22 January 2014 Posted 22 January 2014 I was pretty sceptical about Vardy until this season, I thought we'd paid well over the odds for him, and I was downright horrible about Dyer and Drinkwater until this year too. But now they're 3 players that I'd be gutted to see go. Happy enough to say I've never been a "Nugent Boo Boy" though!
_Fatboyslow_ Posted 22 January 2014 Posted 22 January 2014 Mm I guess I would have to say I have given Dyer some stick in the past and so far this season he has been excellent. Let's hope he not like a cock in the cold and disappears now the bad weather is here

Let's hope he not like a cock in the cold and disappears now the bad weather is here Ive never given Dyer stick. IMO he's always been one of our most important players and I thought that Sven dropping him was one of the most bizarre managerial decisions he made, amongst some real other duff ones. The one player I continue to disagree with most of the forum on is Chris Wood. I don't think he's particularly good. I believe its been crucial this season that Vardy and Nugent have stayed fit and forged that partnership up front. I'd actually play Phillips over Wood personally.

Harry - LCFC Posted 22 January 2014 Posted 22 January 2014 Jamie Vardy, I'm so sorry. Liam Moore, I'm so sorry. Chris Wood - I was right, you can f off unless you pull your socks up. It's hardly his fault that Vardy and Nugent have been excellent or that he's been injured whenever his chance to play came around. I don't know what you expect really, someone to under perform so you can moan at them? Probably.

Don't rate his all round game and don't think he has the right attitude to persevere when the chips are down - a la Vardy.
Carl the Llama Posted 22 January 2014 Posted 22 January 2014 Don't rate his all round game and don't think he has the right attitude to persevere when the chips are down - a la Vardy. Based on what, exactly?
Mark_w Posted 22 January 2014 Posted 22 January 2014 I believe its been crucial this season that Vardy and Nugent have stayed fit and forged that partnership up front. I agree, that and the whole keeping Nigel Pearson at the end of last season thing.
Guest Col city fan Posted 22 January 2014 Posted 22 January 2014 I agree, that and the whole keeping Nigel Pearson at the end of last season thing. BORING!!!
The Man In Black Posted 22 January 2014 Posted 22 January 2014 Jamie Vardy, I'm so sorry. Liam Moore, I'm so sorry. Chris Wood - I was right, you can f off unless you pull your socks up. What is he supposed to do on the bench? About the only thing he can do is pull his socks up.
The Man In Black Posted 22 January 2014 Posted 22 January 2014 I'm sorry on behalf of everyone who doubted David Nugent. Top player.
Collymore Posted 22 January 2014 Posted 22 January 2014 anybody else infuriated by the term "my bad"?
Buzzell Posted 22 January 2014 Posted 22 January 2014 anybody else infuriated by the term "my bad"? Ahh I'm sorry about that.... ....my bad
DANGEROUS TIGER Posted 23 January 2014 Posted 23 January 2014 With you on this, whatever any of us thought about players, managers etc was warranted and where opinions at the time, this is a new season with new opinions but doesn't change anything in the past. GOOD. I don't want it to. I meant what I said, and still stand by it.
Dan Posted 23 January 2014 Posted 23 January 2014 Where do you take those 80% from, I wonder? 80% of the Foxestalk community voted in favour of Pearson, nine days after the 3-2 away win at Forest and two days after the playoff exit against Watford. http://www.foxestalk.co.uk/forums/topic/88432-nigel-pearson-stay-or-go/ 60% of the Foxestalk community voted in favor of him to stay in a poll conducted a week before the away game at Forest: http://www.foxestalk.co.uk/forums/topic/87746-pearson-should-he-stay-or-should-he-go/?mode=show Some of the stuff in that is absolute bullshit and it was total bullshit at the time as well
Corky Posted 23 January 2014 Posted 23 January 2014 Some of the stuff in that is absolute bullshit and it was total bullshit at the time as well I'll hold my hands up, I was wrong and Pearson has won me round (not that I was desperate for him to go out of spite/ dislike, just that results and performances dropped off alarmingly). At the moment, thrilled he stayed. And reading that MattP and Fox92 have it spot on.
MANFACE Posted 23 January 2014 Posted 23 January 2014 I haven't really slated anyone recently. The last time I was really pisssed off was with Lee Pisspot., useless player, but only had one good game and was man of the match..lolz Did a thread on Vardy early in the season, saying his work rate was excellent.
hackneyfox Posted 23 January 2014 Posted 23 January 2014 Theres no reason to eat humble pie. Unless you REALLY have an eye for a player, most people will base opinions on what they are seeing at the time. Drinkwater, for example, went completely off the boil last season which made many people wonder whether he was as good as they first thought. Now they can see he is and the forum is back to the 'he's the best thing since sliced bread' viewpoint. This runs the risk of you looking daft if you start criticising a player before you can genuinely know if they are any good or not but its kind of human nature to rush at an opinion. For example, how many people last season thought that Vardy was never going to be good enough (and said so), whilst how many people said that Waghorn was going to be a superb, long term signing for the club when, actually, he's become pretty bang average. Its for this reason that I remain confused at the 'I told you so' threads about Pearson. There have been so many of these, stating people are 'trolls' and 'naysayers' when actually we have still won nothing. It looks like we will, but as of yet, we still have work to do. The biggest slice of humble pie (if people want to use that phrase) will have to be eaten by those who are currently 'criticising the criticisers' should City fail to get promotion this season. If the unthinkable happens and we fail again, will the 'I told you so' brigade back down and eat 'humble pie' themselves? Somehow I doubt it. You are spot on Col Especially the last paragraph My thoughts exactly.
hackneyfox Posted 23 January 2014 Posted 23 January 2014 I've given dogs abuse to Dyer on different boards over the last few years but I still believe I was right, this season he's been a revelation. I didn't think Vardy would make it either. I'll stick with my opinion that NFP wasn't good enough last season and should have gone. At the moment I'm glad he didn't as he's obviously done afair bit of introspection during the summer. Starnge how being wrong can give you a sense of well being.

At the moment, thrilled he stayed. And reading that MattP and Fox92 have it spot on. I didn't even see what you put so it wasn't necessarily aimed at you. I saw a post from me, not in that thread, that said I'd keep Pearson although I didn't really have high expectations for this season. However I've said on numerous occasions that 'Lloyd Dyer is never a first team regular standard player'. Oops.

I don't get how you can stick with saying that he should've gone when you've seen the development we've made under him. I really don't understand sackings out of spite myself.
hackneyfox Posted 23 January 2014 Posted 23 January 2014 I think he's a different person to the manger we had last season. I still think that if we'd have sacked him in March last year that we'd have made automatic promotion. I wouldn't have sacked him out of spite, I'd have sacked him because we bombed so badly. I'm not sure that he'll get a new contract should we get promoted.
