I think he”s here for the rest of the season unless, unbeknownst to us, KH have someone waiting in the wings to take over now.

After that I am not sure KH will trust him with another season, a season that will be even harder with the teams coming down and their pedigree.

This was the season to go up and we blew it unfortunately!

Yeah you're right, we won't ever have another chance of going up.

We may aswell pack it in.

We’ve only won four games against sides 15th or above and only won one away game against teams 16th or above.


Underwhelming?

They are awful stats.

“Enzo Marescas tactical set up”

“ Published on 21 May 2024”


Rodgers left Leicester 2023


Please continue

Yes. So if he changed to a box to box midfielder from a defensive midfielder.

And it was Enzo Maresca that changed him to a box to box midfielder in 23/24, then what was he before that?

You can do this I believe in you.

As we’ve said all along, Rodgers used him for his physicality and ball winning ability

Absolutely no one has said Davies wanted specifically a box to box midfielders, just more physicality

You’re imagining things

And yet he’s asked the club to bring in more powerful players and a ball winner in midfield

Didn’t Leicester have players like Ndidi?

He’s clearly adapting

You don’t think he’s bright or competent, I do. Probably not much further to add is there.

Honestly why do people keep bringing up Ndidi,
Ndidi himself has said how he didn’t play that role it shows how little you know.

And I said this a while ago; my assumption is the recruitment team had more input this window than they did in the summer. That’s only an assumption like the contrary.

But basically you’re praising him for managing to ‘adapt’ to a mid table manager. What a guy, all hail Lord Davies

We are one more defeat away from you bringing out your December classic “anyone who still supports Davies is a Villa fan”

I see you’ve stopped calling anyone who praises Paik “Mrs Paik” so I suppose that’s progress

Think the point hes making about it being a chance missed with how poor quality the league is, is accurate tbf.

I’ll stick with underwhelming. Most teams will take the majority of their points against sides lower down the table, hence the table being what it is.

But, I do think that it shows how much work we’ve got to do and that expectations may need tempering.

I said after the milwall game if we lost against Boro the play offs were done & it’s looking that way.

I think it’s a tall order now & unfortunatley i’m at the end of my tether with Davis so i’d just like to get an idea of how many still back him. Do you think he should get another season? Can you see us improving? Would giving him another pre season only hamper us? Should we make a clean break & get someone in as early as possible?

So my question is answer in one word Davis in or out?

I’ll start…. Out

I'd never call for a manager's head in our position and at this point of the season. I'd say "IN" until May, and then reassess where we are and how far away we finished.

Is it just a wild coincidence that this team is set up almost exactly like a Brendan Rodgers team?

Apparently it is, despite the teams tactics and formation appearing almost identical, and the respective managers being tactically rigid and stubborn. Not to mention expecting spending lots on players to suit a formation rather than finding a formation that suits the players...

Have you tried looking back at Rodgers preferred formation?
It is impossible to work out, he changes it all the time - I saw something saying he played 13 different formations in the space of two seasons at Leicester.

Ask yourself this:
Are any of the players better now than when they joined us?
Are we greater than the sum of our parts?
Can we get results when we play badly?
How many more points would we have if John Eustace was managing us?

How long will Thomas Frank be available?
