    Would you like me to start on the rest of the team then? :)

    I wasnt attacking the player, it was more aimed at the board who spent alot of money on some body who at the moment is a bloody expensive luxury

    Read all the posts on this topic over the last hour. The bloke is getting ****. It ain’t his fault.

    It’s the same as criticising Gabbi for not having scored in x or y games. As I said before, we could have Fat Ronaldo at his prime up there and it would barely make a difference, because of how we are set up.

    He has had, what seven games now? I have not seen one touch that a league one or championship player would be able to pull off. The lack of service is an easy excuse for masking an awful signing. He has had balls to feet and in the air which he has done nothing with, as he isn’t very good. Sam Gallagher is better than him. 100%

    To be fair, it is possible that he's total rubbish. Shane Long often looks like he could be Vardy's equal. Until you then see Long shooting.

    Until we've seen what he's like in front of goal, I don't see how people can really form any opinion on him so far. Christ, it's hard enough trying to form an opinion on him simply as a target man, given that he's never got anyone around him.

    Os, I’ll leave it there. I believe you are unfairly criticising. Lots more to moan about than him.

    Exactly this. Nobody had said he’s good. Some fans just need to kick out at someone.

    Yeah fair enough FLT, I admire your positivity. He isn’t the main problem in the squad, by any means, just a baffling signing when we have zero pace in the squad. Signing him has further compounded our misery IMO. Pelle got stick at first, but I defended him as you could see his attributes. I genuinely cannot see what Guido’s are.

    Happy to visit Mollynew again. My last visit we won 6-0 and only had 5 shots on target. Now that's a proper bloody hit rate! :emoticon-0102-bigsm

    Something is about to happen lads that may save our necks.

    For once I have a reliable source who is ITK.

    You can all give me loads of likes when it happens.

    And bearing in mind our previous over-defensive and crap manager has hauled Leicester up to 8th (with a good crack at 7th) and they've scored more goals than anyone outside the top 6.

    I watched him mumbling flirtaciously at the MOTD interviewer last night, after another win and considered just how easy post-match interviews are for managers of teams who are winning ... and I felt really really jealous. You could have still been ours Claude :emoticon-0106-cryin :emoticon-0153-broke

    I don't say he is picking the team but he is in charge of football strategy and we follow the model of playing the same from kids to 1st team

    I do hope you’re not being your sardonic self, and that this is true...

    One thing that was always odd was that Austin often got very good service from the players around him, so looking forward to him being back in a few weeks. No idea why it clicked for him though!

    He's physical and strong and bullies defenders and has a habit of being in the right place at he right time.

    It was Godders who went on the London Stadium pitch.

    WHU to get deudcted 10points for repeated incursións like failing to submit information about players missing drug testing and fan invasión. Really they should be deducted 10 points now, and start on minus 10 in the Championship. That would be fun for them.
