Wout Faes about to be sold to Monaco, some agent he must have considering he has looked like an absolute bomb scare every time I have seen him play

Leaves Leicester light at CB with Vestergaard injured

I actually think he always plays well against us

I don't actually think Leicester have the core of a bad side, but as you eluded to the dross on fat lucrative contracts far outweighs the diamonds in the rough

Was hoping Bournemouth launched an attempt to get Fatawu as a Semenyo replacement at some point this week but that seems to have simmered down

What they actually need to do is offload said dross and get back to recruiting cheaper players who will work harder for the club and rebuild that connection the team has lost with the fans. I was hoping they could stay there a little longer!

With players like Winks, Ayew, Daka and Ricardo off the books in the summer I do think they will be a stronger outfit next season

Part of me is hoping any punishment they are getting for their misdemeanours is differed to next season when they will be a better side, as opposed to this one where I do not think they will get in the Top 6 anyway

It's a delicate situation, when we debate who's up to mix it in the prem I think,if the team got hold of that or anyone outside it would either motivate me or destroy them and open to ridicule by the oppo?

But we can still rise now
And be the city again
That stood against him (guess who?)
Proud Enzo's inbreds (wankers)
And sent him homeward
To think again...

I'm not saying this one is a must win but I do think we need at least four points from our next two matches, especially as they are both at home

Neither Leicester nor Millwall will be easy games. The local derby effect will likely make Leicester a hard-fought match and Millwall have eight points from their last four matches, whilst we only have four.

After the next two rounds of matches - and when Ipswich have played their game in hand - we could be level on points with Middlesborough and behind Ipswich. We could also only be three points ahead of Millwall or Bristol City in fifth.

We need to stop the rot soon. Hopefully our new loan signings - and hopefully the return of Torp and possibly BTA - will be enough for us to turn the tide.

We’re gonna beat them both, Boro and Ipswich will both drop points and we can start chilling the champagne again

We need to win half of our remaining games. In simple terms, every game becomes a must win, if we failed to win the previous one. We can't keep saying we've got 19,18,17,16 games left, because then it quickly changes to needing to win 2 out of every 3 games.

These 2 games are crucial.

There are some horrible people in the world. Unfortunately a lot of them seem to go to football. There is no justification for banners like these.

Couldn't disagree more.
You meet a great class of people at the footy , all types , but a good thread of decency through the vast majority. Its a brilliant day out.

I'm nervous too. It just feels like a defeat incoming. I always used to be so positive as a fan. I think I am much more anxious now we're top as we have something to lose. I think when you're fighting to catch up with playoffs or whatever, you can look at the gap and imagine a way to cut it; but looking at a gap below is different. I just hope we manage to get back on track and the whole thing doesn't crumble!!

Okoli has good numbers this season, Nelson's are pretty poor. My concern is that we actually would prefer some of these overpaid but mediocre players to be in the side, as the cheaper but still decent and better motivated ones will take their place.

It got a fair number of laugh reacts but I was genuine in hoping for Faes to be in the lineup on Saturday.

I think many of those laughs may have been in agreement with you, as he does tend to be a bit shit.
