Greenlizard0 PL & Championship Football Thread ** spoilers ** [13th - 18th May 2023]

Willock left on crutches, Bruno, Joelinton and Anderson all left the ground limping. Hopefully just knocks they can get some ice on.

Looks to me like Bruno really needs a Op or something.

Wait till you're competing in Europe. It is one thing trying to get ready for one game a week. Try playing 1 game every 3-4 days for 3-4 months.

Well done Shef Wed, quite the comeback!

Yup, we need another 5-6 players at least. With some upgrades. See how the summer goes.

I said that a while ago, we need at least 6 in for next season to be able to compete, otherwise we will be in the same position that West Ham are in this season

I am sure Westham fans would have bitten your hand off if you told them at the beginning of the season they would potentially have Silverware and the Europa League football next season. It is not all that bad if you sacrifice league for Europe in Westham's case.

I don't think West Ham actively sacrificed the league for europa conference to be fair. The standard of competition in the conference league is vastly different to the teams they're facing in the PL and if anything, their form has improved in recent months alongside those European games. As far as I'm aware, they weren't resting key players in league games for the europa ones.

It's unbelievable how we've gone from a top 10 team to useless

yup. Rodgers and Rudkin. The anti-dynamic duo. Rodgers has his faults, but he's also been a bit shackled by those above him. Top needed to get rid of both much sooner, Rudkin first tbf.

We ditched our business model, bought badly, hampered by King Power's covid implosion, and now we're going down. At least Top wrote off a lot of the club debt but we're still going to need to sell off most of the squad and buy cheap. I wouldn't be surprised to see us drop into L1 again.

Thats Newcastles top4 safe. They will slap Leicester. I mean to be fair, I could slap Leicester, blindfolded, whilst in a sleeping bag.

My nan could slap leicester the way we currently performing, and she's been dead a good 5+ years now. The lack of urgency and resilience in the squad is bizarre. Something is very wrong in our dressing room and player mentality.

Possible could be a Very costly win, as both Jo’s and Bruno could be out for Mondays game

No offense, but I certainly hope so!

Howe we all on this fine Friday morning

Stop it lad hah

Even the sight of Joelinton on the sidelines is enough to send the Foxes back into their holes!!!

This current lot? Yes sadly. No backbone at all it seems. While I hope for a miracle I am pretty resigned to us going down. In which case I hope we get absolutely spanked. No close-run 93rd minute nicked winner from west ham deciding it on the final day. Properly 10-0 spanked out the league so the folks not trying get that blemish on their CVs forevermore.

didn't they have a couple of injuries when they dipped? I might be wrong, but I thought their upturn coincided with having their preferred squad altogether again.
