We have no say as to whether the manager, the board or any other changes are made at LCFC but, I would suggest that asking for a change of manager is the wrong priority. I am exceedingly disappointed that no member(s) of the financial side of the business has/have paid the price for our...

Both Braybrooke and Alves are just coming back from injury. They have missed almost the entire season.

In some ways, we might be better off NOT getting promotion. If we're going to be required to sell players and sign none, next season will be like Sheffield United's current effort. At least in the Championship, we'll win a few games playing the youngsters...

We'd just lost three in a row: I think the QPR defeat particularly knocked confidence. Did you really expect scintillating football? The win was vital, not just for the three points but to get some of that confidence back. I am sure that we can look for improved performances from now on...

Depending on our financial position, I'd agree. Offering Praet a contract would be cheaper than signing another midfielder - an area where we are definitely light...

I am not surprised that overpaid players have declined to move. I am surprised that after what must have been a huge positive in terms of sales versus purchases in the summer, we couldn't afford a £2m new player. I am disgusted that, again, the manager has not been kept up to date with the...

Beat me to it. :D

Er... Who is Thomas (amid the subs) - if it's Luke, I thought he'd gone back out on a loan...

Selling KDH now would be daft, unless we have 2-3 midfielders lined up to come in. I know we have Sensi, 'almost over the line', but his injury record makes him a risk; we've lost Casadei - and we wanted to strengthen before that happened.

If this were to come about, we would have two Manchester City loanees vying for one spot... That seems illogical.

For this season, the result is merely a wake up call; reminding us that we have to do more than just turn up. In terms of the longer time future, it is more worrying: IF we gain promotion, a home game against a team like Leeds will be the one that we are expected to win. The system we play...

The best thing about International breaks is that it gives the likes of Jamie Vardy a rest.

Ndidi has more bite, if we feel that we need to weather early pressure...

I suspect Nacho may be rested after internationals and possible late return: I know Ndidi starts but we are a bit light in midfield.

It doesn't say much for our youngsters that there are two keepers on the bench: surely, it would be better to have a young player even if he isn't going to play...

The problem that I have with the story that we had two keepers on the bench because we didn't want players who will be leaving in the match day squad, is that it would mean that we want to keep Stolarczyk, Ward, Iversen and Hermansen!

If this is true, and it comes from a good source, then we should move on. I don't care how good a player he may be, we don't need someone who doesn't want to be here.

I get the feeling that some of these 'daft' positional players are acting as place holders. Surely Maresca cannot see Ndidi as an attacking midfielder but, we don't have one, yet. Hopefully, this will be addressed before the transfer window closes. I do agree that the lack of minutes for...

It is very difficult to assess that game: were it a competitive match, where the object would be to beat Liverpool, then the set up was tactically inept. Of course, we are not so concerned with the result and Maresco will have wanted to play in the style that he will want in Championship...

Ricardo seems to be playing left-back come central midfield whilst Castagne is right-back. Salah has the freedom of the pitch, which has contributed to all the goals Liverpool have scored.

I agree that the "Big 6" won't be looking, but I think there's a cracking player, in Nacho, and any other Premier League team would do well to take a look.

Yes, Maresca is a risk but, a risk means that there's the chance of a big pay off. Personally, I'd rather that than a plodder. I'm nailing my colours to the positive mast!

The speed with which City operate means that it is pointless to speculate upon our next manager: he has probably only just been born!

I am unable to comment upon the accuracy, or otherwise, of Rodgers' input into the signings of Bertrand and Vestergaard (cos I'm an ignorant know nothing). I do, however, feel that a manager should have some input into the purchase of players. If 100% accurate, the buying of these two...

Tomasson or McKenna are the two names that excite me. We are in need of a complete overhaul and a young manager, with some experience, seems the best option in those circumstances.

That's no way to speak about our next manager! :043:

I wouldn't be at all surprised if, in early July, we announce that Dean Smith will be given a three year contract. We do seem to work exceeding slowly to achieve very little!

In which dimension is this your/our club??? The last time I checked, we were living at the fag end of Capitalism and Leicester City belongs to the Srivaddhanaprabha family (or possibly King Power). This idea that Leicester City, or any other club, belongs to the fans is a shallow marketing ploy.

I suppose that I shouldn't be surprised that this board follows modern mores: people are either superheroes, or arch villains. Top and the board should take some responsibility for what has occurred, as should Brendan Rodgers and the players: however, none of them have set out to create the...

Smith didn't stand a chance: he had no time to get to know the players. If we hadn't changed manager at Christmas, or the international break, at the very latest, we would have been better sticking with Rodgers and making a decision in the summer.

Sorry, I was writing from the near future! :D

I am delighted to find so many 'fellow travellers' on this board: however, I'm afraid that we're living through the dog days of capitalism. This means that proletariat ownership of the means of production/football teams is yet to occur. (I have never understood this, "It's my team" argument.)...

The only worth while aspiration is to be playing at the highest level possible. That does not mean that, not winning the Champions' League every season makes Leicester's entire history a failure. It simply means that we need to press for a return to the Premier League at the earliest possible...

I wonder if we might play a back three; it would give some protection leaving Castagne and Kristensen to get forward...

You are correct. That'll teach me to post after a sleepless night! :101::bi polo::081:

Could we not just try to win a football match - and increase our own chances of relegation???? :102: :)

I thought the performance was better than Saturday. We certainly deserved a draw at least. The Nacho injury looks worrying: looked like a groin strain... Hope that I'm wrong.

It must be difficult for Tete: he isn't signed to the team so, may be gone in the summer. It isn't worth him settling properly in the area. I'm not sure how good his English is and presumably he has no family or friends in the area. It is difficult to function at one's best under such...

BBC are reporting a bug ging around: Maddison one of those likely to be out...

I'm sure that he could, if he so wished...
