No you're not and no you can't.

Mate i played games against Ashington Rovers theres the bravery and i have taken balls in the face for the side.

Do i qualify now

 

[giveusfalmerplease]

Ryan is brave and a natural shot stopper. However he makes mistakes and most importantly is not big enough for the premier league. 10 days to sign another goal keeper.

Or at least give Menapaa a chance - as has been said elsewhere he has yet to have a bad game when he has played

 

[AmexRuislip]

Our new signings woefully off the pace, the team as a whole easy to read, no real string of passes, one real shot on target, perhaps a 4-4-2 in hindsight with recognised forwards, not Solly March as a hopeful. Solly not willing to take players on, looking at buying in a 6'3 forward, another lump, when we need someone that can nip behind the back line and contribute a few goals, would that complete our signings for a season of hoofball? This is going to be a very, very long season, I want to see Albion supporter pics now and how many greys they have spouted from their heads come May.

However, I will be, as always, upbeat that we will survive.

Afternoon

Thought we were better in the second half. We came forward well but lacked that spark up front. I hope Brown and our nutty Columbian shake the tree a bit. Sheets dry.

 

[Wellesley]

The only good news, and I'm clutching at straws here, is that our four new signings were the worst players on the pitch, so hopefully they will get up to speed in time.

Hmmmm.

Negatives:

Very soft goal in the opening minute gave us a mountain to climb. Ryan and Suttner need to shape up sharpish or they'll be replaced by Maenpaa and Bong. The team as a whole needs to wise up pretty quickly, too many times we were caught in/gave away possession cheaply.

Positives:

It was pretty comfortable for Leicester but at least we had a go and made somewhat of a game out of it. We didn't crumble or let our heads drop. We kind of scored... Lewis Dunk is looking good. Knockaert got another run out and should be ready to start against Watford. When we get Knockaert, Brown, Isquierdo, March and the new striker playing in the same team we'll pose much more of a threat.

WE ARE ABOVE PALACE.

Its a well known fact mate that you've had a few females with balls!!

We won't have Knocky, March, Brown and Isquierdo all starting in an 11. We'll be lucky to have 2 of those 4.

Just can't see us scoring a single goal with this team and that's a fact . Ryan how the hell did we get conned £5 million just can't hold onto anything . Going forward it's all to easy it like a pre season friendly I know it's only two games but it's crying out for pace up top hemed Murray not good enough need to b ruthless

Yes its only two games in but with zero points. When Knockaert came on we pushed a little harder but what we lacked was pace throughout the team as you said. We need to believe in ourselves a lot more and keep the ball better.

 

[Mackenzie]

At least we kept them to two. After conceding in the first minute and many of the players having a poor game, in my opinion, it could have been much worse.

Bloom was present today, he'll have noted our shortcomings and I'm sure he'll give Hughton every assistance that he can in strengthening the squad.

We're really slow.

Blimey i forgot about them.

I took a lot of positives out of that.

Really? We ain't Real Madrid. I think squad rotation is a luxury CH cant afford.

The starting wingers will be two of March, Knockaert and Isquierdo. The way Gross played today there's a good chance that Brown will be taking his place as no.10. The new striker will play plenty of minutes. Unless he's shit. Then he'll play only a fair few minutes...

By my maths that makes three or four of them playing. And the others coming off the bench.

I have it all recorded on cine 8

 

[Wellesley]

I hope Arsenal win by three or more then at least we'll be in the safety zone, and I hate Arsenal.

Don't get your point, I was stating the bleedin obvious.

The new striker could be a 6'3 lump, just what we need? And I personally believe we should revert to 4-4-2 against the 'non top 6', we seem comfortable on it.

 

[portslade seagull]

Son at the game said no passion heart or effort and two poorly conceded goals. Always a problem when signing players late. They take time to bed in. I suppose we need to learn from our mistakes quickly

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

A point is a must next week.

Can't go into the international break without at least 1 on the board.
