My worry with us is that I genuinely don’t think there’s that many players who are actually that good even at this level. Ok you have Page, but he’s young and JJ (injured) but honestly hand on heart. Are we 100% sure that this team is actually fit for purpose despite the ‘experience’ within it? ALL of our fit GK’s are for the majority of their pro careers reserve keepers at whatever level they’ve played at. McCarthy can’t use his feet. A bizarre signing for Martinball. At fullback Thomas and Coulibaly are really struggling and we have seen enough to reasonably say they aren’t capable even at this level. Aluko is young but he looks better as a winger and incapable of defending one on ones. Souttar is a back 3 specialist. Not enough mobility to play in a 4. O’Hora looks out of his depth and Okoli a proven liability. Kanga is young and looks promising but very naive at the moment. In midfield other than the quality of Page, Lundstram looks way off it and his legs may have gone. Braybrooke is quality on the ball but lightweight and can’t defend. Reid/Cullen - utterly anonymous. Chaplin and Smallbone can’t stay fit. Doyle shows promise but lacks explosive pace. At winger Alves looks good but very lightweight. Watson unconvincing at best. Howell looks good but lightweight and lacks pace. Burns looks like his legs have gone. Riis looks useful upfront but Bristric looks like he should be playing for our U21 side. All in all, a manager with an unconvincing record (a record that doesn’t back up his philosophy) is in charge of a team that is pretty bang average when you list them out.

Looks immobile, slow, unfit and can’t pass the ball. Legs have gone? 😬

Looks off the pace, unable to play on the half turn and apparently has the passing ability of Okoli. Been very underwhelmed with him. 2 years and it looks suspiciously like his legs have gone.

This lad is so anonymous, no one has commented on his thread after a complete non performance from him today. Even more of a ghost than BDCR. I thought I’d bump it for that reason!

There’s one other player that springs to mind - Leicester City’s Liam Cullen.

Playing him and Cullen in the same squad is a crime against humanity. Both lightweight, slow, anonymous and timid. Tbf to BDCR, In Cullen we have found an even more ghostly presence. Today for whatever reason Martin decided to play these two ephemeral wisps of nothingness in his starting 11. Playing 9 (with 2 additional on field spectators) v 11 was a very bad call. If he keeps his job and repeats that again I think someone should call the authorities. At least we only have this last season with BDCR. Fkin Cully is with us for 2 more seasons after this one

Presumably you are one of the 1% Joe? Put your name forward lad and get organising rather than wasting that energy on calling out the spineless wimps that are presumably holding you back!

Burns got an assist but he was absolutely terrible today. He lost the ball virtually every time he had it. Burns is an experienced, intelligent footballer but he is a winger with no tricks, whose ‘skill’ is just to run past his marker. Unfortunately he’s lost the explosive pace and so he’s a winger that simply can’t beat his man. 3 fkin years ffs.

Fkin hell, Reid and Cullen 😬

Football is a business where it’s clear for all to see how a team is performing. 3 relegations in 4 seasons is in the public forum and it’s absolutely clear to everyone that the club is currently shit.That’s a big difference from working for a business where you are divulging that a product or service is shit to a client/the public. It’s not a sackable offence in football to point out an honest straight fact. Leicester have been shit since Enzo. That an absolute clear as day 100% fact that everyone in an out of football can see.

Sackable offence for a bit of honesty? Do me a favour mate. Leicester City have been shit for ages. That is an absolute honest fact.

That fan didn’t speak for me. I liked Enzo, enjoyed his football and understood that achieving promotion irrespective of the squad was not a foregone conclusion. His career trajectory since he left us would suggest the good proportion of LCFC fans that did like Enzo, that didn’t boo him, and that appreciated his work here were spot on. Now Martin isn’t Enzo but he does try and have a similar approach. He’s also right that Leicester have been shit since Enzo. Unfortunately we still are. The only way Martin will reduce the amount of haters at games and on here is to win games. He will still have haters though like Pearson did, for a confidence, or a perceived arrogance. I personally don’t care about any arrogance or confidence or hair or clothes or whatever. If he starts winning games then that is ultimately all we should want as supporters considering the club’s position.

Another horrendous miss last night to add to his catalogue of horrendous misses this season. Managed to combine his two standout attributes in his sub appearance. Anonymity ✔️and an inability to hit a donkey’s arse with a banjo ✔️

He looked every bit an U21’s team striker out of his depth last night. 😬

Grasped the opportunity to be on the bench on Saturday with two strong hands last night. Aimless balls into the box, weak shooting and didn’t worry his full back with any kind of aggressive take-ons. Alves guaranteed a start against the Posh.
