Stupid giveaway from Jander to start that move.

Leicester are like the Leeds of the Midlands. They have beef with all the nearby clubs.

Yes but the entire system falls down without a big, physical CF.

Can only assume that Archer has been given the nod because he has more pace than Stewart or Larin, and the Leicester defence aren't exactly the most mobile. Just hope it pays off, for Tonda's sake. Having found a system that works recently, he's taking a big gamble by scrapping it in this way.

Indeed. It's treated as an elite sport these days, so the fitness levels required to be competitive are way beyond what was needed in days gone by, and the recovery time needed after the extra exertion of a match negates the possibility of playing on consecutive days. I remember listening to an after dinner speech from Alan Ball about 20 years ago, and he recounted how he and the boys were out on the piss in Camden on the eve of the 1966 WC final. Seems ridiculous in this age, but it was just normal to them in that era.

They should have thought a bit harder about this headline 😬

I've given it a go, but it's really not great. None of the cadets are in any way likeable, and the script is just all over the place. The most recent episode tries to address the story of what happened to Sisko after the end of DS9. But despite a welcome cameo from Cirroc Lofton (who played Jake Sisko), the overall writing of the episode - much like the rest of it so far - is terrible.

They set an unwanted club record today - 9 games without scoring. Have to feel sorry for their fans. They've been mismanaged for decades now.

In all fairness, that wasn't exactly a sitter.

One of the most telling things for me over the last few games is that a couple of times he's been super quick to get off his line and claim a ball coming his way that might have been dangerous if he hadn't. Compare that to Baz's frankly pathetic efforts in that department, like the goal at QPR for instance. It's night and day.

Just found this posted on their thread about signing Joe Aribo 🤣🤣

Makes this place look like Care Bear Land 🤣 They are in terrible form - 1 point from their last 5. And the fans seemingly aren't seeing any signs of anything positive. We need to get at them early and get the fans on their backs immediately.

And made two absolutely outstanding saves in the last game to earn that clean sheet.

Get in. Didn't do loads going forward but did enough and got another clean sheet, despite Watford looking the better team for large periods. We're looking soooooo much better defensively since we changed formation. So glad that, despite my reservations over his previous record, I didn't join in the bed wetting about the signing of Larin.

Oh hello!!!

Edozie and Larin to link up and score a winner.

Why do we continue to just pack the 6-yard box at corners? It's fucking suicidal.

Yep. And it's going to be a really shit goal from a defensive blunder.

He Armstronged it.

Adam and Jo are obviously not enthralled by what's happening on the pitch.

Oh yeah. I was at that game as well 🤦

I'm trying to think when was the last time we scored a header from an open-play cross? Seems like we've just been utterly incapable of that for many years now.

Oh unlucky Stewart. Couldn't control it.

Shame cos he was doing really well. But it's good to have a player as good as Charles to replace him.

Downes is having a great game.
