ADK Posted 14 December 2014 Posted 14 December 2014 One thing I've noticed as well, we seem to have started handing out Sven-esque long contracts to existing players which is something I thought Pearson was against. We've also managed to lose one of our best players (Dyer) despite the fact we are meant to have a lot more money to play with. We only really signed two of our targets in Ulloa and Cambiasso and that has cost us dear. Although it is a good job we did as they have scored 8 of our 15 goals between them (9 if you count the Mignolet og). Imagine where we would be without either. It's unacceptable that we are having to play Konchesky and Schlupp on the left, Konchesky who looked a weak link last season and was surely only meant to be back up this year but finds himself our only left back. Schlupp who is worse than Lloyd Dyer.
allotment-fox Posted 14 December 2014 Posted 14 December 2014 one less christmas card for our Nigel to buy then

We've also managed to lose one of our best players (Dyer) despite the fact we are meant to have a lot more money to play with. We failed to keep Dyer precisely because we weren't willing to hand out Sven-esque long contracts to players who are over 30 (Wes aside).
Bunyip Posted 14 December 2014 Posted 14 December 2014 We failed to keep Dyer precisely because we weren't willing to hand out Sven-esque long contracts to players who are over 30 (Wes aside). So that pig headedness means we are stuck with Schlupp who is no where near as good as Dyer was. says it all really.

Fez of Mahrez Posted 14 December 2014 Posted 14 December 2014 you say it best when you say it all really
Mark_w Posted 14 December 2014 Posted 14 December 2014 So that pig headedness means we are stuck with Schlupp who is no where near as good as Dyer was. says it all really. So now you do want us to hand out ridiculously long contracts to players who are completely unproven at this level, make your mind up.
Bunyip Posted 14 December 2014 Posted 14 December 2014 So now you do want us to hand out ridiculously long contracts to players who are completely unproven at this level, make your mind up. We knew what we were getting with Dyer. Watch last years D.V.D and see just how much a hand he had in us getting promotion.
ARTY_FOX Posted 14 December 2014 Posted 14 December 2014 So that pig headedness means we are stuck with Schlupp who is no where near as good as Dyer was. says it all really. I loved dyer.... But do you really think hed' be the answer to our problems
Lionator Posted 14 December 2014 Posted 14 December 2014 We knew what we were getting with Dyer. Watch last years D.V.D and see just how much a hand he had in us getting promotion. He barely played January onwards.
Mark_w Posted 14 December 2014 Posted 14 December 2014 We knew what we were getting with Dyer. Watch last years D.V.D and see just how much a hand he had in us getting promotion. The exact same applies to basically everyone who got a new contract this year. I don't need to watch the DVD I remember it, maybe you should watch the DVD and see how much of a hand Nigel Pearson had in us getting promoted.
cuddly ken Posted 14 December 2014 Posted 14 December 2014 Strange turn of events at Leic, a complete turnaround really given that Robinson was brought in by the owners who were having second thoughts about NP. Seems that Robinson has been made the sacrificial lamb in our current situation. NP appears for now to of got off the hook, but he really has to be made accountable for our poor run of games and his weak tactical knowledge. I really wish some of the truths would come out about NP, common knowledge in football circles but amazingly the fans aren't aware of any of it. Perhaps then we could all say " So thats the true reasons for all this" For me NP should be sacked, pure and simple! Need I say more?
Bunyip Posted 14 December 2014 Posted 14 December 2014 I loved dyer.... But do you really think hed' be the answer to our problems Do you think Schlupp is ?
Bunyip Posted 14 December 2014 Posted 14 December 2014 He barely played January onwards. As I said watch the D.V.D then take a look at Schlupp.
Itsthejoeker Posted 14 December 2014 Posted 14 December 2014 Do you think Schlupp is ? It's not one or the other, you can think they're both not good enough.

Perhaps then we could all say " So thats the true reasons for all this" For me NP should be sacked, pure and simple! Need I say more? How did we get 102 points in the Championship with a manger who has weak tactical knowledge and is known to be a bit incompetent in 'football circles'? It strikes me that 'football circles' is code for, 'my head', and 'truths' is code for 'shit I'm about to make up about the best manager we've had in a decade, 'cause I don't like him'.
Bunyip Posted 14 December 2014 Posted 14 December 2014 It's not one or the other, you can think they're both not good enough. Except Dyer wasn't given the chance to prove it one way or the other was he ?
Itsthejoeker Posted 14 December 2014 Posted 14 December 2014 Except Dyer wasn't given the chance to prove it one way or the other was he ? He was given the chance when he was offered a one year deal, which he turned down.
Mark_w Posted 14 December 2014 Posted 14 December 2014 As I said watch the D.V.D then take a look at Schlupp. The DVD is basically just highlights of our goals, if you're using the season review DVD rather than your memory from watching the games as they took place, then your opinion is absolutely useless.

You must have forgotten the previous seasons abysmal run then after Christmas . It was as bad as it is now and echo's the same no plan B or bloody idea how to stop a slump.

Bunyip Posted 14 December 2014 Posted 14 December 2014 He was given the chance when he was offered a one year deal, which he turned down. He knew he wasn't wanted hence the one year contract. If he had stayed I have no doubt he would have got in ahead of Schlupp , who in my opinion is not even fit to grace a championship side. The DVD is basically just highlights of our goals, if you're using the season review DVD rather than your memory from watching the games as they took place, then your opinion is absolutely useless. Oh and all the goals he scored and assisted in were " useless" as well eh ?
Fez of Mahrez Posted 14 December 2014 Posted 14 December 2014 Where are all these mentals when we're doing well?
FrankieADZ Posted 14 December 2014 Posted 14 December 2014 Where are all these mentals when we're doing well? under the rock/bridge they crawled out from.
