    Going down would be a disaster imo, I'm not one to think it would take 16 yrs again because we're not in a bad a condition as then but there's no guarantee we'd do a Burnley either.
    Players are told by top international managers they need to be playing in the top.leagues in the world if they are to be thought of as representing their countries. So the likes of Gnonto, Sinisterra Wober Adams would be gone Koch won't sign a new contract so would most likely be gone too, Harrison's new contract apparentlyhad a relegationrelease clause in it too. What's that leave us with, pretty much the squad we came up with plus a few **** additions and untried kids but no Bielsa to get the best out of them. Meslier and Rutter would go too but neither of those would be a great loss , problem being we'd get a lot less of the market value for any of those players. Not exactly the Leicester model

    Cresswell looks a great prospect but I don't see him as PL ready for a couple of seasons yet, he's been in and out at Millwall too, personally I think he needs another year in the Championship

    Looking at our defence this last few weeks I would have played Drameh ahead of Ayling and Kristensen and Cresswell ahead of Cooper

    Think you're probably right, however given Koch's lack of pace, along with the turning circle of a supertanker then the argument Cresswell couldn't be any worse stands up.

    Wober seems sound enough so ideally we need to sign a right sided centre back with pace to partner him.

    Coopers not been playing though Doc. I think we need to play him today, he's the only leader we have in the squad, and we're really lacking a leader out there

    You can't play players who we've sent out on loan.

    Cresswell
    Drameh
    Dan James

    All needed this season...the arrogance of our club is astounding at times.

    Spit and many other media types can all see we are poor at the back, yet we have given Ayling,Struijk and offered Koch extended contracts, so unless they think they can sell for more then why do it, unless that its also preparation for going down because championship is their level

    Unless of course MB was in charge eh Jammy, then you would be happy for us to play in the North West counties U9's league :emoticon-0105-wink:


    Or of course if we have rich owners

    And one of them was capable of picking up a point at the emirates where we threw the towel in weeks before the fixture

    It's going to take time that's all Eire and going back to square one won't help as we'll soon all be absolutely fed up of finishing 13th in the Championship every year.

    Or have you forgotten Chesh and Glory used to have a top half/bottom/half bet every season ?

    We cant string passes together, McKennie looks uninterested which makes our 2DM pivot a waste of time. We dont press unlike every team we play so struggle to turn the ball over unlike the opposition who manage to get it back from us with ease. Fulham have too much space in midfield. Sorry but Gracia isn’t doing anything

    Watching Leicester v Wolves and expecting a home win.

    Big chance missed by Vardy.

    Ok for me Wober is no left back but still must play. Koch does my head in and has done for months as he's woeful in possession but can we leave him out and play 2 left footers as centre backs ?

    Gnonto, Summerville & Sinisterra all must start.

    McKennie and Aaronson need to be left out.

    Forshaw could actually be our saviour.

    1-1 at Leicester.

    Penalty given away by the Wolves goalkeeper when not necessary.
