It depends what you want out of your striker if it’s to run around like Andy Morrell then Ayew is your man if you want goals look elsewhere

To be fair it wouldn’t take a lot for someone to turn you lot around with the facilities and you’d definitely have interest.

Although would KP sell?

No that’s the trouble. Due to his Dad dying outside the Stadium, think there’s too much of a legacy here.

Maybe Administration could be ‘good’ for us - yeah I know we ‘cheated’ it before - but then KP or the sole ownership of Top would. forced to sell!

My mate was telling me the owner fucked off during the summer with the recruitment director on holiday. Didn’t go down well I’m told.

is it a case of riding the storm out whilst you wait for the high earners leave? Players like winks won’t get 90k a week again- so they’ll hold out.

Why isn’t vestergaard playing out of interest - he looks solid every time I see him

Vestergaard doesn’t suit our team.

Major reset for us, not sure if we’ll ever reach the Premier again.

Genuinely hope you go up, as you deserve your ‘day in the sun’ but it’s brutal!

I think Ayew played well in both games this season. However I don’t agree that Leicester could or should have been 3 up. They certainly were on top and they carved us open a few times but apart from the goal I don’t think they had real clear cut chances. Decordova Reid hit one against his own foot that brought a good save from Rushworth, he had another shot from the edge of the area that was straight at Rushworth and they had a header wide from a corner that Rushworth had covered. That was it really. Arguably the overhead kick by EMC was a better chance than any of those.

Think you will go up but we were about ten points ahead of you when we went up two seasons ago and only crept over the line!

Loving the criticising and vitriol spouted at
me as loving the banter being here.

We've already lost a much bigger lead from earlier in the season. But when you consider the problems with illness going through the squad and the amount of injuries we've had to important players as well as our recent suspensions to a couple of our defenders we've done very well to keep a good gap (mind the gap) to the rest of the clubs. We're ready to go.

Banter? Thanks for letting us know.

Lesta have probably been the luckiest club in England this century, only this season does it look like the luck has run out. There'll probably be a white knight who comes along in the next few seasons to gift away a few hundred million like the last lot.

Lucky and extremely unlucky.
To have a benefactor who gained something (Prestige) to then die in the circumstances,a fairy tale to a disaster , acceptance is hard to take but rules are rules..

I'm not sure what to make of that photo.

Is he distraught because they lost to us yesterday, or has his cousin next to him, just told him she's pregnant with yet another baby of his?

Got a feeling it’s now or never for us. Doubtful next season is going to be any easier with Potentially wolves and West Ham

I genuinely thought we were fortunate to go into the break just one down.

out of interest, has any other club had the same issues with illness as we have??? I heard Sheff Utd had some with it but nobody else in the League appears to have suffered like we did.

We were walking towards the ground and he was filming and he came over asking us for predictions and my mate started giving him an 'interview' much to the surprise and amusement of the rest of us.

I actually saw an interview with him where he predicted 2-1 City with Haji to come off the bench and score the winner.

Hope he had few dimes on it.

We genuinely don't but when we (like you) have nothing else, you have to create a little county border needle
