Rudoni is an attacking midfielder or a winger, we don't play either under 1D Darren, so we'll never see the best of him until we get rid of 1D. Unless we move to more of a 3-4-1-2? Him been the 1 behind the strikers.

Him been the 1 behind the strikers. Or 4231. Saturday we had Spencer, Thomas, Rudoni and Koroma all playing out of position to fit this ridiculous formation that he keeps persisting with. 4231 would have allowed every player to play in their natural position, given us an attacking threat and allowed Rudoni to get up and support the attack.

While I agree to some extent I think he wants to keep the 2 up top.Healey and Radulovic will be the 2 if available.koroma likely one to miss out.Spencer seems more than comfortable at centre half in a 3,having him one side and balker the other gives pace and the ability to bring ten ball out both sides.Thomas at wing back wouldn’t be my choice tbh though but he does do it fairly well.I see the end goal with it however with Radulovic starting from the bench playing 4-2-3-1 or even 4-3-3 possibly the way to go for that game.That said I think playing Healey almost forces having 2 up top.

Our use of the ball at times is woeful. I can't remember the last game where we proactively dictated play. We are a reactive team, relying on us breaking down opposition attacks and hitting them on the break, and set pieces. We must be so easy to set up to defend against - Jesus - we win a free kick on half way and Sorba lumps it into the box!
As I and many others have said, we need a ball playing midfielder. Saturday was the proof for me - with all but one of lour new signings on the pitch we still did not vary our tactic. Yes, we did create more chances but the source of them remained breakaway attacks

I know it’s been posted previously but strong rumours Helik is going to Leicester. Barnsley are already planning how to spend their sell on profit. Hope this is just speculation.

If he does go we'll need to buy 2 players to fill the gap, a quality defender and a 10+ goal a season striker.

Are the rumours that strong? Feels like a few Town fans flapping amongst themselves to me. Good player who would command a reasonable fee if he did go, but I'm finding it difficult to believe Leicester would either want or need him in their current situation...

I would say it would take a very big fee for us to let Helik go mid-season - Dean isn;t in charge any more - we don't have to sell our best assets at a risk to our league position

However having said that, releasing 20 players in the summer must have saved us a fair wad of wages.

Can’t imagine we’re anywhere close to ffp been an issue.I know it was mentioned in the summer but from what I gather ffp got confused with something called ffi which is more referring to budgets set.the EFL are been more stringent on these budgets especially with new owners.think that was half the battle in the summer that the budget wasn’t really very competitive as was set by dean when looking to sell. I’m wondering if the activity so far this window is a result of us been allowed to amend that budget? If we continued to spend like we have this January then yes down the line ffp may become an issue but I’m sure the talk of increasing revenues if that can be achieved will be to cover off that increased spending.

There was some chat on here about Smithies having a house built back in Hudds and was he a target. He’s retired due to injury.

It would edge us closer to relegation similar to how selling Marcus ended our chances of promotion/play offs. We wouldn’t be that stupid surely!?!

Yes smithies is back in Huddersfield but only because he wants to be closer to his family He’s happy picking up his wage at Leicester, no chance he’s coming back anytime soon. Helik will only go if it’s too good a deal to turn down. Nothing I’ve heard concrete at all just whispers.

I think the amount we would require for him to leave this window leicester wouldn’t be able to afford anyway. In the summer is a different question however. Although we should still hold bargaining power with Helik still having a year + 1 year option left on his contract

Did we ever sell one of our best players in the January window under Hoyle? Once he’d decided he’d had enough he sold whatever he could (that had a value) to reduce his debt I think in most cases he was only selling what he had bought in the first place for a significant loss which is why in the end he had to write off the balance.

Saturday was the proof for me - with all but one of lour new signings on the pitch we still did not vary our tactic. Yes, we did create more chances but the source of them remained breakaway attacks Sure is and the chairman pretty much called it in his last 2 post match videos by saying we pass back too often and our passing is off, nowhere near as good as Blackburn. Spot on and it's just the sign of a poorly coached team IMO. It will require a new coaching team to fix IMO and probably a new midfielder as you say. Warnock eventually got them passing the ball better at the end of last season and beginning of this but it took time, not the sort of thing you can turn around in a few weeks I fear. The chairman may not be an expert on the English game but he can obviously see with his own eyes that we look such a poor team and I don't think you can blame all that on injuries. You can blame weakness in a particular area on injuries imo but when the team consistently cant pass to one and other and have no discernible style you have to assume there is a more fundamental issue.

Another player where there's a revisionist theory about his abilities when not in the team for a period of time.... Common consensus was Burgzorg was Col Quanner MKII. A handful of goals has not changed that view of him for me. I think that you are seriously over-egging Quaner's ability. He was absolutely dreadful but managed to acquire cult status on DATM on the strength of one run and cross at Hillsborough, and a decent showing at Vicarage Road. Terrible footballer.

Re sold some players not to take money out but to put less in. A significant difference
