Personally, I don't blame my player because he's doing his best. Of course, many of our supporters expect more from him, want him to be more decisive and score more goals, because he's considered a striker. Rumours also say that he has one of the highest salaries in the club and therefore, inevitably, he has to justify it. He realised he had lost the ball on Friday and tried to make up for it and help the other players, but unfortunately our opponents scored a goal and so some of the crowd turned on him... In my opinion, he's neither the best nor the worst. The problem lies elsewhere and we really need to find a solution to our issues with confidence, efficiency and communication... Our players each have their qualities, that's undeniable, but it's difficult to understand why our players can't play at their level... That's the paradox of our team this season...

Based on what? He’s an arrogant cock..

The Times did a similar article late last year, bit surprised an article like that from the Times considering their political leanings. Most of it comes from people with an axe to grind with Labour.(not a Labour voter but i'm not blind to the good and bad things they do, it's a mix)

Ideally SR and the head coach would "align" to ensure minutes are being played by their next sell one. Hopefully, within reason. Tino and Lavia faded with lots of games, before being crocked. While, it didn't work out, Baz was also played far too much. Silly prices are paid for flickers of potential, such as Dibling. A decent run of games, and Charles' natural ability should put him nicely in the window. With our bloated squad and manager-go-round, we've not done anywhere near the level of joined up thinking SR thought they would be putting in place.

Not really sure how this works out too clever let’s use charles as an example his first season he wasn’t deemed good enough by Martin, second season was great but out on loan to Sheffield.. this season he picked up a injury and found himself behind jander and Downes but considering he hasn’t signed a new deal any profit for him you would think would be pretty minimal. For a player as good as he is we haven’t really hugely benefitted from him on the pitch and his value won’t be nothing great as he’s gonna be approaching the end of his deal ?

Yes Fellows has been slightly off lately. Matsuki is slightly different and offers more involvement generally and a different threat. Bragg is better than Charles in my view but it’s opinions after all.

Don’t know if they’re the best looking, but one of them does seem to be cheating https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/articles/c4gqw139ev3o

Can see this might cause a few rants https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/c20jpvd300do

Lets hope we do not go up because we are more than likely to struggle

England struggle to a win against Australia B Italy.

They weren’t wrong about Cameron Archer either. A slight enhancement on Damion Downs in the sense he actually makes contact with the ball albeit messy and misdirected. But when Southampton’s worst postwar outfield player is your benchmark, your career is not going to plan.

Good news for the Tories, and the other parties, as May dilute Farage and Reform in some seats depending on how much funding Musk ponies up to the be genuinely national scale. And Lowe hates Farage.

Yeah this team for me. Quarshie in for Stephens and Manning in for Welington if neither are fit enough. Form wise there's a case for Matsuki to come in for Fellows but I'd stick with the latter for now.

Wow, that's scary for Leicester but they have made some ridiculous decisions. The amount they spent on their elite new training facility which includes a five star hotel for players and a nine hole golf course is a millstone round their neck because of the massive running costs. They built the hotel and golf course which bring zero revenue but high running costs. Covid has impacted them more than any other football club because King Power, the business that owns and runs the club, is reliant on duty free profits in Thailand and mainly Chinese customers. These profits were decimated during Covid because the Chinese could not travel and, when the travel ban was lifted, they did not come back in the same numbers. It's a perfect storm made worse by them having no relegation clauses in terms of player wages. The guy explains that, if they go down to League 1 this season and fail to bounce straight up they'll be out of parachute payments which is about all that's keeping them afloat.

My wife has just said it is a typical lesbian relationship- 2 cunts together.

Ridiculous price. You can see the stitching of the logo is good quality. Must be using slave labour.

Nonsense to have a go at Courtet. He had a poor game. Very poor, by his own standards. Fortunately, the rest of the team of world beaters, and their top level coaching staff, turned it round. Oh wait, they absolutely didn't. His error led to a goal. So he joins pretty much everyone in the team, who have already had individual errors leading to goals. Two of the new signings, just in the last few weeks. Courtet has cut a very frustrated figure for a long time now. Previously, it would pretty much him trying to be everywhere to turn games. Now, the team might have settled on a system with more up front. But he's still trying to be everywhere, in a side that struggles to identify how to set up tactically. His form, after such frustration, and in this set up, has also taken a knock. Not to mention the off-field things. The coaching team have to decide the roles they want from their players, and set the bar for them to be leaders. Given the choice, I'd rather have Courtet around than them.

How about the sizing ? Do you need to go one or two up from your usual size ?

I was at the game too and was amazed he wasn't subbed earlier. I've seen far better players in the national and non-league. Amazingly bad. However, lots of good points in the other players I thought. Keeper much better than I had expected. Solid, and decent distribution. Larin's hold up play not bad at all, fitness coming along a little. Cam Bragg - excellent performance. Quarshie and Wood did well. Manning won most of his duels, and decent delivery. Impressed with Matsuki and his work rate Dibaga not bad when he came on - could be more direct Oyekunle excellent strength and persistence. Should start ahead of Cameron Archer every time Some very nice touches from Barnaby Williams Good to get minutes into Oriel - he is still classy Overall, much to be happy about, especially the result. THought we were heading for penalties. PS You can see how Winks is a cultured player, but also how he never does anything remotely risky

He's using some of his money to fund Rupert Lowe's new self-promotion vehicle political party. Two turds I'd flush if I could.

DHgate are really good but they've excelled themselves here. Just over a tenner

It's something the club have said they've wanted to avoid. That was a little while ago, before this season's rush to offload as many as possible, without at least making an accounting loss. They were trying to pay less, as an incentive for players to be sold somewhere during their contract. The better financial package at their new club, being too good to pass up. Charles would be one of those, SR would look to get a good profit on. On the contract thread, there's news that Bree is keen to extend. That might depend on us moving Saga or Mads on. But good to see a solid pro looking to stay. People we can have, while others come and go, through player trading.

One thing Alfie kinda alluded to which we haven’t really spoken about on here is that isn’t it only jack stephens that has signed a new deal of late ? this could be a big problem going forward as we don’t want to get stuck in a situation where everyone is running down the contracts. Charles in particular I’m not sure will resign and tbh we haven’t really gave him a ton of first team football for different reasons in his time here but you can tell he’s developing into a lovely player we need young prospects like this to resign else our focus on potential loses a lot of the upside

Didnt the manager allude to there being something going on behind the scenes with Archer (whether that was a failed move or something else)? Seems strange that both Downs now Archer have seemingly lost a lot of ability / have a crisis in confidence when proving they were decent players in the past

I thought Archer would show up this season and give us a view of the player he was at Preston and Middlesbrough. A few nice finishes in his first season here also, in the league and cup, but he was feeding off scraps in the Premier League, so with a few more chances I was of the belief we could have one of the better strikers in this league. In the same way that Adam Armstrong revitalises in the second tier. However, for whatever reason nothing is coming off for here him now and when he isn't scoring, similarly to Armstrong, there isn't much point on him being on the pitch as he isn't doing anything else. There have been two games this season where he has actually seemed up for it and that was Birmingham home and away. So, maybe if we tell him we're playing Birmingham every week now, that might work.
