    “Celebrated like it was their cup final”

    The celebrations are great. Anything diminishing that from a losing opponent is just bitterness.

    Think about someone like Lloyd McGrath. How whole career built around tackling. Good, hard, legal tackling. If he comes along nowadays he simply doesn’t have a career. It’s a block, jockey and head game for defenders now. You just can’t risk tackling. Look no further than the Leicester pen today...

    Sheaf

    Sheaf is consistently brilliant. We have lots of important players but he is the one we rely on most heavily.

    Milan

    Absolute steal. Massive potential and he is blessed with that absolute priceless asset - pace to burn.

    Palmers problem today was twofold. He made quite a few poor decisions in terms of pass or carry on dribbling and also the critical touch in a lot of his involvement was heavy. It led to him getting frustrated for his yellow. He is a threat but the end product needs to improve a % or two.

    Value in our squad

    No reason why you wouldn’t get £3m+ for Eccles

    When you make a tackle it’s all split second stuff but you do have time to make a decision. You can crash through the player or curtail it a bit. Nowadays you have to go for the latter. Thomas chose the former. Go back 30 years and there’s not even a question and it’s a great tackle. But, like...

    Limousine for Robins

    He’s got to be close to being our best ever manager. Sillett had silverware, Milne had a good stint and Strachan took us on some memorable runs in the top flight but Robins has contended with some unthinkable nonsense.

    This team will be better than the 22/23 team

    I completely agree we’ve upgraded in lots of positions both in what you’d call starters and depth. We’re certainly better at RB and CB in terms of Kitching who is pure class. I think you have to aggregate “attack” and I’d say Sakamoto, Wright and Simms equal Gyokeres and Hamer. But then you have...

    Callum contract offer

    I think he’s already been made a good offer. But he’s hanging on for summer I’d say.

    Match Thread Coventry City - Leicester City Match Thread - Saturday 13th Jan

    They’ve not taken it too well have they. Enzo Maringpiece, Dewsbury-Balls and Fout Wails. Shame

    Agree with most at 7 or 8 with Sheaf and Van Ewijk 9’s. The player that made a huge difference for me was Allen. Perfect for what we needed at that point.

    Both just about right for me. Thomas yellow only as he did get the ball but the follow through wasn’t needed. Red , just about and that was for them so who cares. Palmer should have been hooked off earlier as he was a red waiting to happen.

    Victor Torp

    Looks exactly the sort of signing we should be making. Plenty of promise and development potential. Our player on a long term contract. Like it. I am disappointed that the comedic potential available by transferring Torp to the identically sounding taupe remains largely untapped. Hopefully he...

    Rumour is we’ve now switched our attention to Calvin Hallstairsandlanding. Scouts have been impressed at how he’s worked his way up through the levels.

    Robson - agreed. Kept us up one year along with Gallacher. But he was a physical wreck when he arrived here. Had he not been he’d never have arrived.

    Callum contract offer

    But that ignores the security the contract gives. He’s just back from a massive amount of time out. Hold out for summer/ACL plays up/No-one is calling.
