    We finished 9th Bobby .... so no inference needed ... we have only finished higher than that once (might have equalled it under O'Neil) ...

    I mentioned the young players because there is a lot of talent there ... despite the odd set back ...

    Vardy is a fabulous striker and him and Mahrez are a special combination ... but there is plenty of reason for optimism ... I certainly don't see us as relegation candidates next season .... can see no logical reason why any of the teams that have finished below is should finish above is next season ... can you?

    Fair enough makes sense...but it doesn't either because if you can't spell such simple words then you don't deserve to log in

    you have a lot of young players, but realistically only 2 make the team in chilwell and ndidi.

    It has not been the young players that have dragged you to 9th.

    As for relegation candidates, don't get sucked in but it's actually johnny boy who thinks you are big favourites <laugh>

    That RB with the afro who came on for Leicester yesterday needs to be sold immediately just after that performance. Got torn a new arsehole the size of the grand canyon by an overweight, underperforming Danny Rose.

    Not sure why Leicester were time wasting so much in a game that didn't really mean much to either side, glad we got the winner as punishment for their ****yness.

    Oh, and if Mahrez goes, they are gonna be royally ****ed, what a player.

    ...might have something to do with the fact that his usual position is central midfield ...<laugh>

    Simpson must have taken a knock ... it's one of the positions we are light on cover at ...

    Mahrez is almost certainly to City ... for a ridiculous amount of money ...

    Choudhury has been very impressive in his natural centre midfield. It was a learning curve for him yesterday, he sold himself far too easily for that goal. We didn’t help ourselves with any of the goals tbf, defensive error after error

    As has been said on other threads, anyone outside the top 6 is a player sold or long term injury from being sucked in. Given our form for months it’s a realistic worry that we’ll end up down their at some point as per the last two seasons. We’ll probably have enough to finish relatively safety if unspectacular. Important window for us

    He was awful, but it's hardly his fault given that it's nothing like his actual position. Strange sub.
    I don't rate Benalouane, but at least he's a defender. Seemed like a more obvious choice to me
    Do you not have another right-back in your squad at the moment?

    Amartey injured and Albrighton suspended ... we did have a young centre half on the bench ... that might have been a better option tbh...

    As Fosse said not really. We are linked with Perriera from Porto. He’s not a bad player, just out of position like you say and you don’t play Harry Kane every week! I’m not too disheartened by the result, it was a great game and at least we show signs of the old Leicester again

    Yeah, looks like he's played a fair bit in the PL2 and can play right-back, too. Odd one.

    Get it right. We nearly splurged that much before Ross saved us a whack turning us down.

    We got him for 15m
