Just seen in the 16 games in the prem we’ve played without him we have a slightly higher win percentage - I’m amazed!
Let’s hope that continues
In terms of midfielder - I think we will try to pull something out of the bag to support us until the end of the season. I expect Dewsbury-Hall to be challenging and starting games next season, he really is a very good player.
I’m not as worried as some about a striker. My main concern is the quality of strikers available but that’s an issue for everyone. However, with Vardy always going to start games when available and, I expect, this will be pretty much the case for a very high percentage of his career here - getting a quality striker in at the moment will be difficult because they will now how difficult it will be to get a match. Any purchase of a ready-to-go striker will coincide with the end of Vardy’s tenure; I’ve made peace with that.
What would be nice, is to look for a young prospect, in the Vardy mould, to try to nurture through.
Ps - ultimately, I think this is an opportunity to highlight and concentrate on the focus of goals from other attacking outlets
This is perhaps best viewed as an opportunity to see whether someone we already have can step up to the plate in Vardy's absence, possibly also using different tactics given that neither Ian nor Perez are a straight replacement for him.
My preference would be to give it to Ian as he is probably more of an out and out striker than Perez. Also I feel he is very much a confidence player, so one way of helping with that would be for Brendan to tell him that he's going to start for the next few games no matter whether he scores a hatful or not. For those who may have doubts as to whether Ian has any long term future at the club it could be taken as an experiment to see if this correct or not.
Back in training soon I heard?
