Not that we've seen him enough to be sure. And Vesty was on that late yellow ... We missed out earlier this season v Sheffield and West Brom in not bringing on Souttar when they were both lumping it in. The next game, Enzo did actually do it and had Souttar for the last 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As others have said, clearly pens and red card missed and double deflected goals! I agree you have some serious mental fortitude to continually be gaining points so often after 90 minutes. But to suggest you were anything other than fortunate in the games against us is clearly wrong based on the views of your own fans alone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jayfox26 Posted 25 February Share Posted 25 February (edited) Seeing Sheff U and Burnley being embarrassingly shit every week, makes it even more annoying that we are a league below. I get we don't have a devine right to be in the prem and we were deservedly relegated but when teams go up you want to see some kind of fight/effort/quality like Luton have shown. The other 2 are an absolute embarrassment Edit: sorry I know its not totally championship related Edited 25 February by jayfox26 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paninistickers Posted 25 February Share Posted 25 February Mini league of 12 games now between three teams and a fourth. We've been given a 6 point headstart. And given the best players in the division. In that mini group, we only need to finish second of four to go up. We could even finish third or fourth of the group and still go up. If we blow it, we have the play offs as a backstop. We'll be fine, won't we? 😶 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our main starting 11 in 2015/16 cost us about £20mill. Players like Fuchs and Albrighton on frees. Vardy £1mill, Wes Morgan and Schmeichel £1mill. Kante £5.5 mill and Mahrez £400k. If you’re looking at the amounts players were signed for, it far from tells the story. We have some players we massively overspent on and you have put together a squad competing really well (albeit you probably spent quite a bit by League 1 standards I’d imagine) for a lot less. That doesn’t mean those players aren’t worth a lot more. Omari Hutchinson is on loan so technically goes down as competing nothing but looks a quality player for example. Not sure what the likes of Chaplin cost but again, far better players than the fees suggest. Own it. Take pride in it rather than going all Sean Dyche! I don’t think people should wish injuries on players. A cheeky suspension here or there yes. I think if you are being honest with yourself, you’d quite like to see that for us! To be fair though, you don’t need anything to derail us as we tend to do quite well at doing that ourselves at this time of year 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the club, for whatever reasons, hadn't got the finances (which has been well alluded to by Enzo over and over again), then the chances are, they've not got the finances. It really is as simple as that and Rudkin and others can't do anything about it. You can't sell who nobody wants to buy or who doesn't want to go. Why would they risk potential FFP issues just to keep a few whiney supporters happy? You and I haven't got the faintest idea of the finances or running of the club so why apportion blame to someone when you haven't a clue why other than total guesswork? What you are proposing is that the Director Of Football isn’t responsible for negotiation of player’s salaries, lengths of contract, buying players, or selling players. Ie. The budgets and trading activity of the football element of a football club. If the above is true (it isn’t) then you’re right, the failure to strengthen the squad in January isn’t his fault. If the above isn’t true then please explain what the role of DOF does involve, because it seems you’ve made it entirely redundant. Or maybe I should just stop trying to be popular and not mention how terrible Rudkin is at his job Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Signing poor players on big wages that we can’t shift? Disastrous transfer window last January? Relegation caused partially by Rudkin’s stubbornness to sack Rodgers? I could go on. The fact that we couldn’t replace Casadei with another loan is probably more down to poor relationships with agents and clubs, rather than finances. Your just making it up as you go along aren't you. You have absolutely no idea whatsoever about his relationships with other clubs and agents etc etc. Neither do you have any idea what Casadei was costing on loan or, IF a suitable other loan had been identified, what the cost of that one would be. As for Rodgers, do you really think it would have been Rudkin's to sack him or would that decision have to be made by the man that actually owns the club? 🤣 Edited 25 February by volpeazzurro 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'll be a massive anticlimax and the pressure after being top for so long would be immense. In saying that an injury time winner against Ipswich in the play off final would as ironic as it would be sweet. preferably a deflection. Unfortunately we'd have to sit through endless replays of Troy Deeney and maybe even Yann Kermogants missed penalty beforehand. Automatic should be our aim and hopefully it'll happen. 12 games is a lot and there will more twists to this season. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
