Leicester talk starts at 36:26 if the link above doesn't take you straight there. They actually produce some great content. Didn't realise how much the availability of content dropped from the prem to the championship, but I've been gladly surprised at the level a lot of it is at. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Steve Earle Posted 28 August 2023 Popular Post Share Posted 28 August 2023 (edited) We are in the Championship after the most avoidable relegation I’ve ever seen - and it was my ninth. I’ve just watched Burnley v Aston Villa on MOTD2 and each time I watch Villa it hurts. Ifs, buts & maybes but if we’d sacked Rogers when we should’ve, there must’ve been a fair-to-middling chance we could have recruited Unai Emery? I’m delighted with Maresca in the here and now, but if we’d got Emery last autumn I’ve no doubt at all (a) that we’d have avoided relegation and (b) we’d be odds on for a top seven finish this season. What a shitshow we saw, from top to bottom, last season. Bastards the lot of them! Edited 29 August 2023 by Steve Earle 18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CosbehFox Posted 28 August 2023 Share Posted 28 August 2023 I’ve constantly repeated that I see defensive mistakes all around the division that I’ve yet to see our games but the other pattern is how competitive the games are. Plymouth hit the post twice before losing to Birmingham. Which makes the claims we’ve been unimpressive in our results a bit unfair Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bilo Posted 28 August 2023 Share Posted 28 August 2023 The one positive is that we are going to have a total and thorough rebuild under a manager with an excellent record of developing young players and a very clear plan. If we get promoted, we'll go into next season with a real identity and playing sumptuous football. I honestly think we can do what Fulham did last season should we bounce straight back under Maresca.

Rodgers was a massive **** undoubtedly but he does have an element of truth on his side when he says the club failed to make the correct investment, there's a number of reasons for that, but the sheer incompetence of the football operations side was clear, not cashing in when we should to enable refresh etc, it's clear to see now constant evolution is needed and sometimes platers must move on like at Brighton, doesn't mean the replacements are worse if your recruitment is good. I'm still not sure tge club have got this right since Pearsons days. That said Rodgers or any manager should walk if they don't feel they are getting the backing promised. The club should also be honest about where they are, if they want a utility manager to make the best of what we have, we had the perfect man in place. If you promise a rebuild then you had better be damn sure to deliver! Edited 28 August 2023 by Foxin_Mad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AKCJ Posted 29 August 2023 Share Posted 29 August 2023 (edited) Without watching that I suspect they'll have gone with Doyle given how much they love him. For me there hasn't been a player in the league as good as Winks though. I actually wouldn't have KDH in there. I know he had a magic 20 minutes against Coventry but he's otherwise been fairly mediocre. Edited 29 August 2023 by AKCJ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn’t great but got to give him time. Last 3 games… 55 shots 22 corners, no goals. Says it all ! Played ok but no good for Ismael if we keep losing . He’ll be gone .
