Wouldn’t have shocked me if he was political with his first answer about the window and had an idea of what he thought from the start, obviously helps he’s worked with them since.
Yeah, I'd agree with this. I think immediately that MVE needs some back up / competition, he is playing every game, if he gets injured we have no threat. Lati can cover, but doesn't pose a threat down the right.
Looking at the age of a lot of our squad suspect he will be pissing in the wind telling them that. Most of them seem to employ teams of people to push their 'brand' on social media. Zero chance that aren't looking at what's being said about them.
No I can’t sadly. Unless we get offered a great deal for one of the ones out of contract in the summer like Harry Darling or Liam Lindsay, I can see us waiting until next year to take stock of what we have.
Whilst I feel that a couple of them could be very good in the future, I think we made a mistake in recruiting so many younger ones. They are in dire need of an older head around them. Similar to Mcfadzean with Callum Doyle. It's a shame, but they are years from their peak, if we want to reach a higher level then we need some experience now.
If they choose to engage with it, there's not a lot that can be done. It doesn't excuse the fact that the people abusing them are a disgrace.
Always think young squads need an older spine to help guide and mentor them.
A couple of people I sit with believe he will bring in an experienced CB. I think we'd have to see one going out first, but that's just personal opinion. Anything could be happening in that department.
Are you talking the likes of twitter,why not urge the club and them to use a respected one that doesn't employ bile as a marketing tool?
Is there any online platform which doesn’t just sprout bile?
Doesn’t help that everyone is here for the long term (which is ironic) meaning we need to find people to want the players to support the deals we need.
I heard the direct messages were on Instagram. Twitter is a cesspit, I don't know why any of the players would choose to look on there. Rarely see anything positive about any player, without a swipe being taken at another.
Yeah, long contracts on a few of them. Could prove to be tricky.
Don’t disagree although would point out sacking the coaches and recruiting can cost a fortune.
Completely agree. I think we are all aware it started going downhill when Dennis Lawrence left. Personally think GK coach could do with a refresh too.
100% as the potential is there.
I mean if we assume, Aled is in charge of defence and goalie, if we did want to refresh that would be two roles on a fair bit more imo.
Frank has talked a lot about the importance of the Chelsea spine and that spine running the changing room.
Fadz left at the right time. A few months later he couldn’t get into the Blackburn team.
Right, so I am thinking that's a cryptic clue.
Thanks, Jimmy.
Yeah, same here, but could have done with him earlier, as I had to make some last minute stocking filler choices for Christmas and Jimmy would have been the perfect go to.
Too obvious that with a name like that he would end up at Leicester
I really hope he carries this forward. I see the benefit in coaching the younger ones, but if we want to progress sooner rather than later, then surely we need the right balance of experience on the field. Whether we can afford to do this without letting go of one, is the question.
This wouldn't surprise me. Perhaps he sees himself as playing at a higher level. Could be the reason we went on to pursue Tahirovic in the summer.
Story of our summer that
It seems so. On the one hand it's great that we are targeting the big money signings, but getting them to come here is another challenge altogether. I'm wondering if FL will have the pull that we need, moving forward.
This is the thing, it seems we have a lot of ambition for signing but there’s no use if we are not seen as an ambitious club for the players.
Thomas, I agree. He needs a lot of coaching with his passing forwards.
