Wtf are you on about ?

You undermined your own argument saying we don't sign multi million pound strikers to sit on the bench, when we had our club record signing, literally sat on the bench!!!

You're not very bright are you.

Fella there's a big difference between starting on bench because you only joined a club officially 2 days before the game and being on the bench for an extended period of time.

I thought that Simms seemed reluctant to shoot in the first half. Wright's cameo showed what a player he can be. Godden was disappointing. Thomas was a beast and will be a star in the defence. The midfield was overun too often.

It’s a tough one with the midfield. Leicester certainly had a lot of quality in there, and with Ricardo coming into midfield gave them an overload. Think we did well considering.

True, but we won't be playing teams like Leicester very often.
The frustrating thing is that we had the chances to win today, but as I said last week, we are not ready for the season to start yet, we need another week or 2 ideally.

Eccles and Da Silva did excellent work helping out the midfield . Thought both were very good today

Yes really impressed with Eccles, thought he was unlucky to be taken off. Da Silva did well and has a great first touch

You must be a good shout for lowest IQ on this forum.

Regardless of the reasons for it, the fact is the big money signing DID start on the bench.

Not for long though, he showed enough in his brief time to show he's a handful.

You are continuing to make a fool of yourself. Give it up.

Self awareness = ZERO

Always makes me feel better listening to him

Our biggest asset by a country mile

 

[oscillatewildly]

I'm over it. When's the next pre season friendly?

 

[fatso]

You're right, clubs like ours usually buy multi million pound forwards to warm the bench.

This forums getting dumber by the minute.

Comedy gold!!!

Nearly 12million pounds worth of talent literally sat on our bench.

You couldn't make it up.

Oh sure.

But if he persists with godden over wright and simms I'm gonna become a taxi driver lol


This is a joke btw before people starting crying

 

[robbiekeane]

I would have taken Godden off for Wright, it was a strange sub.

Agreed

 

[oscillatewildly]

Oh sure.

Or start booking you for 3pm outside the Cherry Tree next Saturday?

 

[pusbccfc]

Godden will start next Saturday

 

[Tommo1993]

Iheanacho not exactly the liveliest of players but did a job. Dewsbury-Hall very good player too.

If they lose both, Leicester will not finish top two. That defence will let them down this season.

It's not the same is it?

Are you called fatso because you couldn't spell thicko?

 

[Danceswithhorses]

Disappointed but not downhearted.
Both sides looked good, and in all honesty the result could have gone either way.
Better finishing at 1-0 (we certainly had the chances), and we could have gone 2-0 up, and i think we would have killed the game then.
Some encouraging performances from Da Silva, Thomas, Hamer, Palmer and Wright....positives to take to our next match, which i think we will win.

Oh dear, you've done that one already. Time for a nap?

You really are a twat.

Those clapper things are really embarrassing.

I kept thinking it just started tipping down.

 

[theferret]

People taking this a lot better than me. Gutted. We never seem to have bragging rights over these fuckers. All chirping outside after. Gonna be a long week

You two, get a room. I've heard there are bed sheets available flying from various bridge points over the M69.

 

[skyblu3sk]

Shout out to Wilson today too didn't have much chance with the goals but a few very good saves.

A draw would have been a fair result; if we’d scored those clear cut chances we’d have won

 

[Greggs]

Shout out to Godden who missed 2 sitters and lost us the game. You're such a damp flannel.

 

[Macca]

Fortunately not remotely interested in Leicester “rivalry”. Happy that this team will repeat last years success. Good performance today

 

[SkyBlueAussie]

Godden will start next Saturday

Maybe, but he can't finish, as we all know

 

[oscillatewildly]

Gathered well, near post covered well for the last attempt of the first half, little chance with their goals.
Second one if not a 'worldie' then a substantial continent or something similar emerging.
Probably Australia.

 

[shmmeee]

Think thats the plan from what i hear

Robins sees it as a great chance to get the team to gel

Basically an extra friendly isn’t it? And with a deeper squad hopefully less worry about tiring out first teamers.

 

[Paxman II]

Godden's movement was terrific but he should have put two of his chances away for sure. We were very good and well organised. We deserved at least a draw. Their winner came from some sloppy work at the back. However taking Hamer off when he did sent alarm bells ringing for me. You want to win so he stays on. Overall a good start regardless of result. We will be a strong side this season in the title hunt.

 

[Tommo1993]

Reckon he’s brave enough to give Wright 45 minutes at least?

 

[mmttww]
