Last season, Biamou was probably better than JCH overall. However, this season JCH has been a menace for defences and has looked dominant in ways Biamou simply hasn’t shown to date. Biamou is a solid player, but JCH really has stepped up this season. Gillingham, Sunderland and Bradford he’s...

Before dismissing him as a playboy who used football as a plaything, perhaps look into the things he did for Leicester as a community, donating £2m to a children’s hospital, £1m to a university’s medical department and donated £100,000 to rebirth the remains of Richard III. It really does seem...

Considering his replacement, Hiwula, is scoring a lot of our goals, then The question is surely ‘is it a coincidence that we’re winning now Hiwula is in the team’. Ironically, there was a thread not too long asking what had happened to Hiwula. Well, he’s been given a run in the team and is...

Damn, you would’ve thought I learned that at university... I wouldn’t take a pint off you, nor give you a black eye! But, if you’re offering, I’ll have a Guinness and black* please! * all my Irish ancestors are rolling in their graves at this sacrilege!

The part I've bolded is my argument. I'm happy with the depth we have and believe in only signing a player who is better than what we have right now. Allassani is out on loan and injured, Shipley is a CM by trade (a good player tbf) and currently, our LM is someone who's a striker by trade (and...

We probably will loan Thompson out at some point. But, the pertinent point is that we shouldn't go out and buy a central defender just to sit on the bench, which is what you're doing if you're signing a 4th choice CB. We should be looking at strengthing the Starting XI now we have the depth in...

At 19, Willis made 31 appearances in a squad that literally had about 20 first team players. Where Jordan Clarke was playing CB... In that sense, he’s lucky to have got the chances he has. As for Thompson, he’s highly rated, and doesn’t need to be thrust into the first team unnecessarily. He’s...

The lad is 19 so still very much in a developmental stage of his career. He’s also getting some decent minutes too so for him, he’s in a good place. If you’re that concerned with his development, why would you sign a 4th choice CB? Which would definitely relegate him to the U23s... It’s only...

I'd be happy with a draw v Doncaster, my head says 1-1, Hiwula or JCH to score. But, we're at home and in good form, so this is a winnable fixture for us.

For me, there's no point in signing players for the sake of adding to our depth. We've got quite good depth and all bases are covered so any new signing should be someone who's an upgrade on what we have already. To use CB as an example, a new CB should be good enough to dislodge Davies, Hyam or...

This was something we drastically needed to improve on from last season. Set pieces are often the differences in tight games and last season, our impotence from set pieces meant that we didn’t get as much joy against the ‘lesser’ sides than we really ought to have done. Getting an early lead...

I'd say we have a good team for a top half, to playoffs finish. The point is that we need a few more pieces to take things to the next level, even if we were to finish in the playoffs and fail to get promoted this season. This team certainly has a solid foundation to potentially get promoted to...

That’s why it’s generally a good idea to ignore football fans. We’re fickle by nature because our loyalty to managers and players is conditional. Robins record speaks for itself and this season was about being patient whilst he figured out his best team, and for the new players to gel. Can we...

That's too Americanised, but it's a good effort pal.

We were always going to be a ‘work in-progress’. We have a really young team football who are finding their feet still. I’m happy with the state of the team. We look like we’re in good stead for the future.

But it’s not ‘just’ £3m though is it? We’ve gotten in excess of £5m for him already, and a bit on top of that when he makes an international appearance. It could even surpass £6m one day. People are forgetting we’re a League 1 club who happened to get relegated the season after. We’d have been...

Under-invested? You can’t just chuck more money at something that was already haemorrhaging money until fairly recently. It’s easy for us for bemoan the lack of spending when it isn’t our money. That’s how clubs end up like Aston Villa, or Portsmouth, or Luton who overspent for years. When a...

I’m thinking ahead post-SISU because some of our fans seems to think the owners are immortal... The club, whomever owns us, need to go ahead and build a new stadium. The term ‘gypsy club’ is genius and that is what our existence is now relegated to, part of that is down to SISU, but the council...

Bayliss just hasn’t been playing that well this season. He’s still only young and League 1 is a huge step up compared to L2 — if he can hack it, and excel we know he then has similar potential to Dele, Wilson and Maddison. You can’t lay the blame of individuals who are uninspired on the...

The long-term solution to this is to build a new stadium. Build a sense of community and identity from there. Move Jimmy Hill’s statue and replicate the walls on a new ground (or something). The RICOH has never been a home, and never will be. What a pity.
