Steve Walsh and Kevin Phillips were at Birmingham the other night watching him according to Leicester City news now.

Might mean nothing,yet if they are looking at strikers,then that could well be the end of Wood and Nugent

I'm sorry but super Kevin has over seen the mass destruction of a once quality striking outfit and that's with him having 20m extra worth of tallent to work with

I wouldn't have him looking at my dog s**ting in the woods

Striker coach ....only coach he needs is one out of leicester at St Margaret's

Ironically Phillips got a lot of praise last season for the improvement in Vardy,yet now he is the scapegoat

Well he ain't getting praised for Vardy's improvement now .....

Honestly I think that's pearson's issue ...he keeps too many average people close to him for too long

Your right many were singing Super Kev's Magic last year with Vardy looks misplaced praise in hindsight

Can't defend , don't score enough , and granted a crap midfield

Take your pick

All adds up to relegation

Crap Coaching and a manager with tactical awareness of a hamster (at times)

CLEAR The lot out Nige !!

I can't remember anyone crediting Phillips with Vardy's progress, last season. Vardy was scoring goals when Phillips was failing to get on the bench for Palace.

Not agreeing with that one bit.

 

Ulloa has 9 goals this season (fantastic return so far) and Kramaric has 2 in 4.

 

It's not a 'destruction of quality' its the difference in quality between this league and the Championship.

 

Jamie Vardy couldn't get to grips with the Championship only a year and a half ago, has it really come as a great surprise that his technical flaws have been punished? In the Championship if a striker closes down a defender then the defender will make mistakes because of his poor quality. This just isn't the case in the Premier League and that is all there is to Vardy's game. You can't teach anyone composure or a first touch. Being a Premier League footballer is definitely more about actual ability than graft when your'e a forward. 

 

Nugent has played the number 10 role with success, albeit inconsistently. He's never been a poacher and will probably make the move into midfield before his career finishes. He's got talent on the ball and the squad plays much better with him in it. He's missed some massive chances this season, and will rightly be scrutinized but to blame Phillips for his mistakes is just taking the piss somewhat.

 

Promotion has highlighted the lack of genuine quality in the Championship. The hardworking,  but technically limited, front 2 of Vardy and Nugent was never going to keep up up, which is why we've spent 20m on strikers (which have scored us goals, whether you want to admit it or not).

 

 

Our problems have been with the midfield and wingers not chipping in with goals. We've scored 22 Premier League goals, 12 have come from strikers (Ulloa 7, Kramaric 1, Nugent 2, Vardy 2, Wood 1) which means a striker gets a goal one every two games for us, which isn't too bad (could be better though)  but only 10 goals between midfield and defence is, frankly, abysmal. That's where our problems have been this season.

I was replying to some else's point above

I heard a few claim Vardy had improved because Philips was now coaching him

My original point is Philips ain't working , time to get a flat head in to do the job :)
