The lad I feel sorry for in all of this is Binks. Looked really assured whenever he's played, yet to justify permanent signings he's the first overlooked. I'd like us to sign him in the summer, but not sure he'd come now.
Christ. Meltdown much?
We're actually better defensively this season (according to xg stats) than we were last while playing a much more expansive and attacking tactical system. People seem to forget that without those turgid few months of 5 at the back we would be comfortably top 6.
When you're playing more attacking you generally concede less chances, but the ones you do are better ones. Quick breaks etc. that are much harder to defend than if you sit in and have 8/9/10 men behind the ball.Just not felt we’ve loooed solid all season and not because of playing style but basic errors, positioning, and individual rushes of blood.
I think the better stats come from playing more attacking and less absorbing attacks. I’m just not impressed with Thomas, Kitching or Collins. All give me Wilson and Hyam type vibes.
I’d agree, Kitchin looks like Maguire and is as clumsy and stupid as him too. Plenty of mistakes and own goals in him and nowhere near a £5Mill player.
Thomas is a bit better on the ball but plenty of mistakes in him too. We all would have preferred to sign McNally and I think Robins would have too.
Keep Bidwell and MVE and offload dumb and dumber in the summer, let’s hope we can get who we actually want this time.
I think Thomas is going to be class.
SBT's law - 'The longer a player is out of the side, the better they get'...He looks far from assured from my point of view - gets dragged all over the pitch and then never seems willing to play the more direct balls into a forward that Kitching does. We look a much better side with Kitching in it.
Kitching and Thomas are good young Centre halves, its clear to see they will both be top class and Im glad we own them both. If they didnt have a mistake in them they would be in the PL so lets be realistic here, they’re 24 and 22 respectively so still both young and learning the trade. Top 5 for least goals conceded is by no fluke, I really rate Thomas and think he’s gonna make it to the top potentially, kitching is good but doesnt have quite as high a ceiling.
And Bidwell how is there still nay sayers about his ability, especially going forward he bombs up quicker than MvE and Dasilva, he’s also got a better delivery and is far superior defensively.
MvE is a quality player, may have a slightly worse delivery than Bidwell and isnt on his level defensively but is by far and away one of the best RBs in the division rivalling KWP at Southampton on his day

Spot on .
All this over analysing and writing players off is pathetic.
As has been said we lack depth in the squad and that has been magnified lately with so many games .
A few additions in key areas - CB, Cm, cam , wing and CF and we will be fine next season
I'm pretty sure I mentioned squad and not team Boosh?5 new players is half a team?

See you're still as dull as ever
Well we signed Binks with his hairstyle so why not?Oh so we’ll be signing fringe players. Makes sense
Thomas is gonna really good I agree, he’s got much more growth in himI think Thomas is going to be class.

Throwing tantrums befitting a toddler…I forgot how bad the drivel on here gets after a couple of defeats
sheesh

Thomas and Kitching are also significantly better in possession than our previous centrebacks (looking at passing stats). Only Doyle from last season comes close.

I think part of it is they were all signed to play in a 5 and then we switched to a 4. Hopefully next season with more coaching it will be better. In a 4 I'm not convinced on McNally either, but Doyle was class and will go all the way imo.
Pace is the only thing he could do with a bit more of imo. Strong, intelligent, good on the floor and in the air and reads the game very well for a young lad. Would love him on a perm, but think there'll be plenty of other suitors if he is released, but possibly a low prem team loan first before they make that decision I'd think.Gah, Callum Doyle. Appreciate he’s been injured for part of the season but he’s not really played much for Leicester at all. Virtually zero chance we’d get him but I wouldn’t be surprised to see him out the door at Man City in the summer.
Then why can’t we keep a clean sheet to save our life?
For that you have to look at our defence and by that I mean widening your view beyond the back four and the goalkeeper. Sometimes it's as simple as giving possession away cheaply in the wrong areas.
Attacking principles can mean conceding goals.
I think there is a variety of reasons why we concede some of the goals we do.
A common theme is poor decision making on the ball. Also giving players too much space for players to deliver crosses is another.
You can add Moore to that too.What's that, 4 mistakes in the last 4 games I make it.
Wilson got dropped for less.
