Glad I could help - have a nice day 😝

On the Nigel front.
I met up the head of sports science who's out with him in Belgium. Nigel's enjoying the challenge its like Leicester was 10 years ago.
Good luck to him everyone deserves a second chance.
Must ask if Stingers going to go to Belgium to interview him

What more do I expect Nev?

Not drawing with Fleetwood Away.
Not going 5 games without a win.
Not looking like we’ll concede 2 a game.

There’s no denying Puel has had a solid start and has done lots of things right. Dunge lays them out well.

But to suggest he is a 9 or a 10 to me says he’s got nearly everything right. He hasn’t.

Like his personality though, he’s quietly building something which looks very very promising.

Any credit to Appleton from you? Or is he just lucky to be guided by Puel?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
But how much of the disappointing results do you attribute to puel and how much to the lack of squad depth he’s been given?

His team selection against Fleetwood was justified given today’s performance but he can’t be held accountable for Matty James and Andy Kings performances among many others on the pitch who should have done much better.

Let's hope he gets to finish it this time and let someone else in to steal all the glory... 😇

Zzzzzzzzzz even nev won’t fall for that blatant wum

Then again......

BS - I don’t particularly blame Puel for that run. More that we shouldn’t think his start has been perfect. It has been impressive as a whole though.

Nev, for someone who seems to get quite get up about racism, you sure do bring nationality in to debates a lot unnecessarily! What’s Appleton’s nationality got to do with anything? I just posed the question as you seem to think that anything related to Shakespeare is tainted.

I personally think Appleton should take a lot of credit for the helping the players transition. Just like Shakespeare should under Ranieri. Doesn’t mean I’m taking away from the managers at all, just that it’s a team that manage and coach as well as play.

How do work that out about appletons role he had only been at the club during the summer its hardly the seven years Shakey had. You always seem to want to take credit away from the man doing the job.

Do I Nev? I thought I’d been quite complimentary on this thread!

I like to look at the complete picture, that’s all.

BS - I can't find your rating here - it would be good to hear where you rank him so far?

Lots of interesting points, I'm not going to argue with anything in the 7-8 range but 9 is too high when he's blown our chance (understandably so) of getting to Wembley in the Carabao Cup. 6 is too low given the success we've had in the League.

I'm not so fussed about Fleetwood, that does back up the comments about how poor our overall recruitment has been recently. It was also due to a large degree about how well Fleetwood played and the state of their pitch. I'm hoping for a better performance tomorrow night but we will most likely have the second string out again so don't be surprised if there's a shock.

I would give him an 8
