Sums things up pretty well IMHO

They Sadden you gladden you and madden you.
80 years of the good the bad and the ugly
They can gladden your heart and make your blood run cold in equal measure

Correct.
We are very rarely worth going 'over the top' about, which is what many on here have been doing this season.
I partly blame the increase in fucking stats, that were never available in such limitless quantities previously. They can show whatever someone want to show, and often seem to replace simple information like what your eyes see and heart feels.
 
As an occasional but regular contributor to this site I once wrote a piece, read Knight's take on the same subject and deleted mine.

Yes a very good piece but I'm not sure I agree that -
'It took Leicester a long time to find the right striker for the system, but it clearly is the Zambian now.'

For me he misses too many gilt edge chances and in some games he is anonymous.

Of course there are certain elements that we'll all disagree with. But as a whole, I find it hard to believe that anyone can argue with the vast majority of the points he covers.
We all know that there's one on here who is laughingly quick to come out with SHIT! etc, and a couple of others who have made their minds up on certain players, but generally they're in a very small minority.
I'd love to know how the rose-tinted specs mob – who seem to leap on anyone who dares to question this season's hype, or dares to raise precisely the concerns that are now so glaringly obvious, and call us pessimists and worse – would argue against that article.
Come on, let's hear from them... (y)

Good for you for admitting that. He and Bevan often seem to be the best on there.
A longer article will always be far more insightful than the massively abbreviated posts that we all make on here. Summarising which tends to lead to the polarised positions, of course.
 
Great perspective.
The chaotic reactions of players late on is an important point. Winks, Ricardo, Faes and Vestagaard were all emotionally shot rather than concentrating on at least preserving a point. Their attitude under pressure was quite telling. It's a clear weakness.

Who knows whether they have a 'shrink' currently, but I always hark back to the news of The Don getting rid of the guy who featured in the best book about the title win. He obviously fulfilled a really crucial role for a number of the players back then, and it's always seemed very short-sighted to ship him out...

I agree the vast majority of the points made by James - and most of the other contributors on The Fosseway, a number of who I know personally.
I just don't agree with his view of Daka. For me he doesn't have the control or character to deal with big moments in games.
If I was KDH I'd be thinking why bother giving him the ball, I may well have a go myself.
 
That is, I think, a gross oversimplification.
Daka's game is about creating space well as taking chances..
His goals lately have been well taken and his miss last night was uncharacteristic which says somerthing about his present form.
He looked a league above that Piorot chap we nearly bought from Swansea...

But the trouble is .........consistency that we lack in all our strikers, albeit the jury is out on Cannon although l have seen enough.of him to say he should be ahead of all .......hope he gets a chance to establish himself

Well I wasn't intending giving a full analysis about Daka just the main two things that concern me.

And I disagree that his miss yesterday was uncharacteristic. He missed a big opportunity against Middlesbrough which he should have buried. Without checking back I'm pretty sure that's not the first sitter he's missed this season.

Last week haarland missed plenty of good chances it happens
 
This is the same Daka whom before Friday had the best minutes-per-goal ratio in the entire Championship.

If a dozy linesman hadn't wrongly disallowed his goal, he might have kept that status.
