He doesn't look great at defending in the Under 23's, let alone the premier league.

The problem is, we don't currently have the money to sign a proper full back. We need a versatile player to help us until the end of the season at least. AMN would fit the bill IMO. I can't see Josh King wanting to join us when he can join who he wants in the summer but he would certainly be an upgrade on Shane Long. I also don't think we need Billy Gilmour, especially if we manage to get AMN. Jankewitz should be given a chance now whilst Diallo is out.

I'm not really a fan of Redmond and generally agree with you, but thought he was better tonight than he has been, fair enough if you disagree. Our wide players (with the exception of Armstrong) have very little end product.

I'm not concerned about Jankewitz. Both times he's come off the bench I've liked the look of him. Right back is the main concern. Unless we sign someone then it'll have to be Valery. In terms of going forward, I actually thought Redmond had a decent ish game tonight. Certainly better than Walcott. McCarthy; Valery, Bednarek, Stephens, Bertrand; Jankewitz/Romeu, JWP; Armstrong, Redmond; Ings, Adams.

I agree. He's had a few good games but has been very average lately.

Of course the composition is wrong. Everyone, including Ralph, knows we are short at full back. I'd rather not move anyone out of their usual position either but do you think we'd be stronger with Diallo/ JWP at right back with the other partnering Romeu or stronger with Valery at right back who has proven he is a liability and cannot defend in the premier league?

Everyone was pretty poor apart from Diallo and Armstrong. Ings spends more time throwing his arms around than anything else. The less said about Stephens the better.

I'd go for this if KWP is out.. McCarthy, Diallo, Bednarek, Stephens, Bertrand; Romeu, JWP, Armstrong, Redmond; Adams, Ings. If KWP is back I'd play Diallo instead of Redmond in the No.10 position.

I agree - I think he is dynamic enough to play there. Against the better teams I would be tempted to give it a go as he keeps the ball better than Armstrong.

I don't know why everyone got their knickers in a twist because it was pretty obvious this was the issue with what LeG has said on numerous occasions. Glad MS has cleared it up for those who were dying to know.

Diallo is better in possession and playing on the half turn but Romeu is stronger and better in the air. I think they are both very good players and Diallo deserves to keep his place until he has a poor run of form.

I'd rather he left on a free next summer than for us to sell him to Spurs for £15 million!

Vokins almost had a very good assist when Adams should have scored.

Impressed me much more than Chauke tbh.

Forster, Valery, Stephens, Bednarek, Vokins, Diallo/JWP, Chauke, Ferry, Walcott/Armstrong, Adams, N'Lundulu.

After tonight I'd go with.. Forster; Valery, Bednarek, Tchaptchet, Vokins, Chauke, Diallo, Armstrong, Walcott, Adams, N'Lundulu. We can't risk anymore injuries to key players yet we need to put a team out that can win the game. I'd rather Armstrong didn't play but I can't really see an alternative.

Maybe I was slightly harsh and had the second half fresh in my mind. Yes first half we we played well - Theo and Adams linked up well in particular. At the end of the day Leicester are a top 4 team now and we are behind them in that respect, so today's result isn't exactly surprising, especially given our limited options.

Stephens and KWP were awful tonight. The rest weren't much better. Although I did think Bertrand had a decent game. Long shouldn't even be in consideration for Tuesday night, even League 1 is above his level.

It's not fake news as I'm not talking about the premier league - I know full well they have different rules to everyone else. I presume Shrewsbury are following the rules that the Government use - the rules that I outlined above. As I said, as long as you are not showing signs of illness then you're unlikely to be contagious after 10 days, hence why you are allowed to come out of isolation without a negative test. The Premier League only do this because they have to be ultra safe and have enough resources to give multiple tests. It is very confusing when there is one rule for one and one rule for another.

As long as the 10 day isolation period has been completed and there is no fever present then there is no need to get another test other than for peace of mind. The chances of being contagious after this period are extremely low and it seems like this is where false positives are being picked up. Hence why the originally positive Shrewsbury players do not have to receive a negative test before they are cleared to play.

He hasn't looked like scoring but correct me if I'm wrong, he's come on as a sub against Man City and Liverpool this season. Not exactly the easiest of games to make a goal scoring impression. He actually held it up quite well when he came on against Liverpool - more than can be said of Shane Long against Fulham where the ball just wouldn't stick. Might as well blood a youngster rather than persist with someone who turns in poor performances every time he's given a chance. Sounds like Redmond has a hamstring injury caused by an ongoing problem with his Hips.

I'd start N'Lundulu up top with Adams - He impressed me when he came on against Liverpool. I'd also keep Walcott out wide to offer a bit of pace as I think we'd be a bit one dimensional if we had Diallo and Armstrong in those positions.

Can only see us having to sell a couple of key players in the summer. I think it'll most likely be Ings and Vestergaard. Providing JV keeps up his good form, I'd like to think we could get £50 million for the two. The fact the owner contributes absolutely nothing and the wages are so high compared to our revenue, this was always going to happen - especially when you're in the midst of a pandemic.

The wages to turnover ratio is 90% so no wonder we're strugglong to meet Danny's wage demands.

Do Shrewsbury have a competitive reserve or youth team?
