Thoughts on yesterday

Cheers mate I'm flushed with success 😄

View from the directors' Box (well just to the side of it) - Depressing. It actually feels like the days of Gabbiadini/Kitson/Simpson et al, where a bunch of highly talented individuals a) never quite performed to the max and b) were never used to their strengths.

Meanwhile, just as in the home playoff leg, Johnson looked like he'd been plucked from a tribe deep in the Amazon where football has yet to penetrate, and told to 'try to fit in with the locals'. HOWEVER, I recall the Legend that is Bruce Rioch being subject to an enormous ironic cheer when replaced once at the BBG when going through a slump in form, and through either careful management or a wake-up call he gave himself, he became one of our best midfielders of all time. Maybe Bradley needs just a bit more time to make that happen.

He's had very nearly a year AF, but I really hope you're right and things change for him. Love to see the same effort today as Gabbiadini and Simpson used to put in but sadly you've reminded me that Ince's demeanour and body language remind me of Paul Kitson. Both talented players who are/were brilliant when things are going their way but both likely to turn into sulkers who go missing when the going gets tough imo.

yes a perfect comparison.

A bit of trivia for y'all - there's a shoe shop in Leicester called Max that used to brand its own shoes. They had a habit of naming them after Leicester players, which of course sold great when they remained at Leicester and less so when they moved on. I bought a bargain bin pair of Oxblood laceups called 'Kitson' at the time he was playing for Derby, and they've certainly outlasted the player, I still have them, in fact I sometimes wear them on matchday.

I wonder if they still do this - the manufacturers must have thought long and hard before putting "Fuchs on our sole"

Agree with most of the above (for a change)

Apart from Christie being our best defender - Shackell for me
