Sadly I suspect our fan base wouldnt accept this as perhaps we feel they are too basic and not having the excitement of an Argentinian or European. I recall under Chris Nichol we signed Gerry Forest from a L1 club and the fans were up in arms as we were supposedly buying for relegation. He turned out useful but not spectacular but did a job.

Nasty comment lol. Just as you have lived in Leicestershire doesn't mean I can't have a dislike of their fanbase. Yes they have won a lot more than us. Since Ive been going in the late 1960's they were also rans, much like us, difference is they were in the lower leagues below us a lot of the time. They started to pick up under O'neill and won a couple League cups, before the more recent highs. The recent history has made their fans entitled and arrogant, only have to listen to them on the radio and their cocky opinions of grandeur. Anyway, thats my opinion and im sure your friends are decent but overall I feel their fans are awful

absolute farce , I have become to dislike Leicester a great deal. Their fans are so entitled and have an opinion of their club being much bigger/important than they are.

Apparently he walked straight off at Palace and didnt come to the fans and so may be disenchanted here

or a departure lounge

I feel a desert is the most apt image to put up this window

All in you opinion. He wasnt useless, he wasn't wonderful either. Most frustrating a lot of the time, but neither is TP or a lot of the current squad.

No way was it a pass

When teams like QPR, Saints, Forest, Derby, WBA, Ipswich, Norwich, really had a chance to win the PL. Although even then the money talked with Liverpool and Man Utd using their muscle. It was old way of Man City and Chelsea spending more than the rest.

Ipswich only had 24% of the possession last night!! Delap may well have been what we needed but Ipswich were lucky last night with VAR apparently something that we havent had

Have we seen enough of Taylor? If my memory serves me right he created lots of chances for the big man at Burnley and so he may be perfect for TP.

One thing for certain is that it wasnt Rasmus who unearthed Frank

Our recruitment team who do the analysis on players, are downright useless. Who whoever is in charge of the much vaunted black box must have put my old mum in charge of pressing the buttons, as anybody with any nous has not been near it for 10 years. As Ive mentioned countless times our best signing would be Bournemouth's scouting team or Brentfords.

Firstly when I replied to the original stating ' youre plain wrong' it was about the ridiculous term stealing a living. My next point is, for someone to have a user name of one of most useless and selfish footballers in decades to play for us and then have the audacity to say the players are at fault. A player who refused to go on to the pitch in a Cup final as he was sulking at not being picked, a player who made such deep crop circles in the pitch with his constant going in circles , that Im surprised the pitch has recovered. So before blaming the players now ( not that they are above reproach) I would have a look at your choice of hero.

Im concerned that we think we have a squad that will just roll over the other sides. It wont be like that and if you think it will you will have a bit of a jolt

He was right about a lot of things. As each season goes by we see any hope of the smaller clubs getting close to the big 6 Although to be fair Forest are having a go, but like the season Leicester won the league the real players were in transition and so Forest can be up there but we all know that can't last.

That is plain wrong imo.

If Carlsberg did New manager bounce, they'd bloody stay clear of Saints

Well, if it was a plan, you know you have at least a season to prepare. As I mentioned before Everton and Forest did not receive their punishment the same season and built a squad that was able to take the punishment. BTW I dont advocate to do it but just a theory after seeing how othrs have laughed at the rules and got around them.

Did I say from this point? Obviously not where we are as we havent purchased the players to enable us to be in a position where a minus 10 would be critical. Forest and Everton received theirs after a year or so after they had made a competitive squad.

I dont know why you are insulting people. If you believe RM did anything but discourage TP then you are not as bright as you believe you are. TP is to RM idea of style of play that Rachel Reeve is to an employer.

All teams in history have played the ball around the back to a degree, not the fanatical way a few clubs are doing now. RM was such a disciple to it, we are being punished for that madness. In just 2 games the more sensible way has shown that the chances against us has been reduced dramatically. In my opinion, the players lost their faith in the style of play and perhaps delighted to have the freedom of playing the game that they first played the game. If i appear stupid then i'm doing a good job as Iam. I live a life that most would dream of and so Im not doing too badly.

Im not sure which teams that play it around the back are doing well. Even Man City are now struggling. As for your taking a minus 10 point reduction is stupid, well Everton and Forest who both outspent, thus making their squads more than capable of staying up may be better than having a squad of Championship players

Amazing we give him a short contract but gave so many long terms

Martin only gave him game time at the last knockings. He has fallen on his sword by being absolutely unable to change his conviction of his possession based football. He deserved to be sacked in the end due It was heresy in his eyes the thought of playing a ball high into the box and I recall that one game we had the chance to play the ball from a set play in when we were 1 down in injury time and the ball went back to Ramsdale. It is interesting to see that the clubs who are playing the ball around the back are now seemingly struggling. It has been worked out, especially against the less skilled teams at the lower reaches of the league. It is a fad and unless you have extremely highly skilled players throughout the team it is hard to put into practice.
