We could go as high as twelfth today.

NOT thinking about losing. If we have Marvelous and Douglas cutting the passing lines and we make sure not to play too high up the pitch we might be able to nullify Vardy, but it'll take a lot out the players.

Get the substitutions correct and we could get a ***** win

[samhubball]

Elmo can't pass a ball. He can't tackle and he can't cross. Might aswell play no one at RB.

Awful football, relegation stuff and really disappointing

[TrianonDave]

Sam I thought the same but weve just played played 3 top teams in 8 days. Liecester won at a canter.
But i must make the following observations:-
Elmo slow and poor at defending
Targett leaves too much space at LB
Konsa..not ready for 1st team
McGinn...needs a rest looks tired
Makamba and Luiz does not work
Grealish out of position constantly
And Wesley, get Savo out of here quick. How obvious is it that we need a striker?
Not a bad day at the obvious just a touch of realism!

[dazzyowen]

Didn’t think we was dreadful, played some nice football at times and definitely should have scored more than 1 !!

Yet again Wesley didn’t have a shot ? Don’t understand why smith doesn’t give Kodja a run out , even if just for last 20 mins ?

Mings staying on was a joke and 3 of there goals were just too easy..

We really need to get some pts on the board else we’re in for a long old dog fight of a season ain’t we..

Need to buy a striker in January too.

Leicester looked like scoring with every attack and you just cannot let Vardy do what he does & expect to get away with it. Every top 8 team we've played turns up with a swagger and positivity to their play, moving the ball quickly. I think we have shown glimpses of that but the system we're playing isn't working in terms of clear cut chances.

4-1-3-2 needed to give Wes someone to make runs off him.

Next 3 games winnable.

In all reality this was always going to be a relegation dogfight. So much depending on the transfer window but we're not going to attract many players if we're in the bottom three. Jeez we looked tired and almost disinterest at times. We never seem to perform well in December.

[TrianonDave]

Im sure our dodgy Month has always been January!
As I said 3 really tough games in 8 days. Weve got Norwich. Watford. Southampton coming up, we may still take a tonking at Sheff utd but listen Deano knows whats needed and we have to wait for the New Year.
Koj will be gone thats why he is not coming on so, Wes almost picks himself. He will be on the bench in 2020 as, we will buy a new Striker. I fancy Guroud from Chelsea. Absolutely knows where the net is. Maybe Wes just is not a striker and more a winger?
5pts needed in 5 games. 1 win 2 draws, any more will be a bonus.

[ozfan]

Could be, Dave. Your thoughts on Wes are interesting. He's a bot of an enigma in that I don't mind him being in the side, he's just not a natural goal scorer. I think he would excel in a holding type role? I can see 4 points which will equal the 19 points we went down with. So we're better than that side.


Just watching Adama tear up Brighton. Didn't we conclude he was hopeless?
