S-Clarke

He went a bit stale, but they'd be stupid to look back on his tenure with anything other than happy memories. This is Leicester we are talking about, under his tenure they got into Europe 3 years in a row (almost the Champions league) and won the FA Cup. Their recruitment and finances hit a bit of a dead-end in recent years, as shown by the signings of Vestergaard and Bertrand, but I'm genuinely surprised at how much hate they had for him. Be careful what you wish for springs to mind there.

Adam Armstrong fetched £15.6m and he was into the last year of his contract @ Blackburn. Tella still has a few years left to run. Bidding starts between £20-25m for me.

That was such a poor decision, no matter how many times you replay that's a dive. Luton looked exactly what they were - lots of effort, passion, but zero quality. I think what they're doing at the moment is the perfect level for them, compete in the top end of the Champ, win games, dream etc. But if they did ever get promoted to the PL then they would be totally and utterly destroyed, it would be painful to watch.

Another one!

At what point do you make the call for the players sake though? I'd trust the judgement of those closer to the situation to be honest, we know how susceptible this guy is to injuries so the last thing you want to do is run him to the ground. Having him for 70mins per game for the rest of the season is better than 90mins in one, and then 0 mins in the upcoming 3 or 4 as he's injured. We had the opposite argument last year - we'd overplayed Tino, managed him poorly etc. But this year we are being careful with Lavia and that's also wrong. But as I said, the problem wasn't the sub - it's the replacement, blame the scouts for giving us Diallo as the replacement.

I wouldn't want him anywhere near this club next year, not a massive fan of his attitude and technically he seems incredibly limited. If we sign him as part of our Championship squad then I fear we'd have learnt nothing. We need a reset and that means dumping the likes of him when we have the chance to. It's the time to be ruthless, not the time to start offering out contracts to more also-rans.

I still don't know why everyone is throwing their arms up in the air on the Lavia sub, seriously look back from 70mins on and he was blowing - he could hardly move. The problem wasn't the sub, if you want to blame anyone blame the recruitment for giving us Diallo and deciding to sell Romeu. And if we don't stay up because of '2' points, I won't be looking at this game as the game we threw it away in. Wolves, Forest, Leeds, Palace to name a few would feature higher in my list. As crap as the capitulation was on Friday, it's still a bonus point in the grand scheme.

Livramento i'll give you, but I don't think we should be applauding him for finding Small or Simeu. The later two will just drift off into lower league obscurity. The youth signings we made this summer, in addition to the likes of Lavia, Edozie etc were 100% Shields. Give him Credit for Livramento for sure, and the likes of Ballard and Doyle over the last few years, but he has been part of the setup who thought it was a good idea to offer Moussa a new deal.

Yes, 100% - but the player wanted to asses at the end of the season. I just hope he thinks he's too good for the Championship and doesn't take us up on the offer.

I'm pretty sure we have tons of players in the youth team who can add variety and effort, but hopefully a little bit of quality on top. I'm sure Moussa is a good lad, but he's been here ages now and he doesn't cut it.

Probably the same people who thought it was a good idea to offer Moussa a new deal, and also put a new deal on the table for Elyounoussi.

Looks like a bit of a flawed player, still only young but I don't think he's going to make it.

I personally think he is lacking physically, for a GK he is pretty small in stature. He doesn't have the reach to get to the corners low or high, so for him it's even more critical that his initial positioning is right - as half a step the other way kills him dead as his lack of stature means he won't be able to recover.

A Viera and Henry combo is something which keeps coming up in my mind as well, the sort of appointment which could galvanise the fanbase and add enough stardust to convince the likes of Alcaraz to stay, whilst having the power to attract players that are probably out of our reach. (It's amazing what happens when you have status at a club in terms of attractiveness, no matter what league you are in) I think Henry is potentially waiting for the USA National Team Job, but there's nothing stopping him coming here for a year and then progressing. The sort of appointments which lend themselves to our conveyor belt reputation.

That bloke has become a parody of himself, fairly sure 90% of what he says nowadays is to get reaction. a 'Positive' WUM if there was ever such a thing.

And yet we're still relegated, so those results were utterly pointless and worthless. Forest, Palace, Wolves, Leeds - those were the games and we weren't good enough. No good turning up for the glamour ties if you can't do it when the expectations are higher, doesn't show well for the character of the squad if I'm honest. Probably quite easy to raise your game on TV against top of the league, bit of a showpiece for you to put to other clubs, but the same isn't true for Palace at home where they throw it away - regularly.

Honestly, the guy is hideous. Fraud of a footballer. I don't think I've ever watched such a bad CM for us, and we had Jermaine Wright and Paul Wotton to endure for a few years.

I'd say expectations need to be quelled there a little bit. In the summer you'll have WHU, Leeds, Palace etc looking for new managers. Potter isn't going to join us when those jobs are avaliable, and those clubs would be daft to ignore him if they had the opportunity. We are a Championship club and we are not going to be recruiting proven, young, PL managers.

He looked absolutely out on his feet at the end of the game, I can't be the only one who noticed that? I don't think it's a case of protecting him for the upcoming games, it was more a case of protecting him in the here and now. It's easy to forget that he's just a kid, 19 years old, probably doesn't quite have the stamina for top level football at that pace 'yet'.

The stats don't give him much movement for praise to be honest, statistically currently the worst keeper in any of Europe's top leagues - and not just by a small margin either, quite comfortably bad. He may have had some talent when he came here but I think we've finished him off.

Exactly, I made the point earlier that this sub alone isn't one to rant about. The issue with the sub was the replacement coming off of the bench, and sadly that's the case with a lot of our subs. If we'd have kept Romeu and made that same sub tonight with Romeu coming off the bench, we win that and everyone would be praising Selles.

It would be a good save if it actually stayed out, but his touch put it straight back into the danger area so his initial save is null and void and pretty pointless.

I think we did for certain parts of the game, but how this bunch folded on 88 mins was unacceptable really. For professional players to sink like they did was embarrassing and they need to look at themselves in the mirror. This isn't a new thing, they consistently throw away games because they're bottlers.

I just find it hard to totally throw yet another manager under the bus when the fundamental issues here are the players. End of. There are things every manager can have done better, no denying it, but the players get let off lightly here.

50 min minimum I'd have thought?
