    It's absolutely predictable that you wouldn't be a fan of our leading goalscorer this season nor the one in third place.
    No further comment necessary 🙁.

    Ladapo Imo needs to calm down and control the ball better but he is the leading goal score atm for a reason.
    Ogbene wouldn’t have scored if it wasn’t for Ladapo testing keeper on Saturday
    Yates will be no Vardy imo but we can all hope.

    When you go to games try looking at the whole picture

    Ffs Gru, c'mon have a think. I'm not one of those on here to jump straight down your throat whenever you post, nor do I believe you're a deliberate wind up merchant (although your style of writing can be difficult to follow as you write as though you're issuing dispatch orders in the trenches of Flanders).

    But, have a think before you post. You say you're not a fan of Ladapo. The reason being that he has no pace. In the same post you extol the virtues of Yates who, for all his close control and vision, has absolutely zero pace in comparison. Ladapo would leave Yates for dead in a sprint. Vardi btw is extremely fast, so the comparison between him and Yates based on speed is futile.

    Before pressing "submit" just have a minute and imagine reading what you've written from someone else's perspective, I.e. someone who hasnt got the immediate thoughts in their head as you have in yours. We'll all benefit.

    Ps, I think Jerry Yates has potential, but I see him more of a Lee Glover than a jamie vardy.

    Pps, I like ladapo. Hes a busy player, who tries to make thinks happen.

    Fantastic idea. Pick a whole team of untried players at this level, just to see what they can do. Just to please gru.

    Think Grumpy KoTW is correct - Freddie is fast over a short distance. What he's not so good at is chasing the ball all over the pitch, closing down defenders, etc. Needs to stay up front in the centre to receive the ball at his feet... then he is likely to score (at this level, anyway)

    I think Freddy has scored a few goals this season as a poacher.

    Jerry yates is no Jamie Vardy.

    Has Freddy played in the championship? Not a trick question I just don't know. If so how did he go on? For me he's more likely to emulate Vardy.

    I'm all for giving Yates a chance if he's in better form than the other forruds

    He's doing more of that now than he did when he joined m
