Spoilt Princesses moaning about Media Coverage of Wolves

Do tell. Because Leicester fans and pundits have been calling for him to be played in their defence for weeks.
He can't play in a back 4, that's what GON wants to do, so why would we sign yet another centre half who can't? He can't get a game in the Championship behind Faes and Vestergaard who are awful and couldn't last year for a relegation threatened Everton. The only reason Leicester fans want him to play is because he's not one of them, not because he's any good, yet the manager still thinks they are a better option, which speaks volumes.

Denes Rosa syndrome is at work here, the longer a player is out of the team the better tbey becomes, especially if the team is struggling.
 
I don't think Coady would want to play for us while certain people are still at the club.
 
Love Coady and always will but at this point it's best to keep the memories. He's 31 now so the limitations even the most ardent Coady fan could see are going to be more pronounced now.

I'm not sure he'd want to come back while Shi is still stinking the place up.
 
He's starting for Leicester today in a back three.

All very well saying we want to play a back four, but there doesn't seem any signs of that happening any time soon.
 
He's starting for Leicester against Albion so chance to have a look

Personally I loved Coady but that time has gone and bringing him back now would be a huge backward step. We should be looking to the future not the past
 
If you remove any emotional attachment he's always been an average Championship player apart from 3 years playing in a very specific system, with very specific tactics where he rose to be a very good player and deservedly got his England call up. Both he and Nuno get significant credit for that, but if you remove that system and tactics you are left with the average Championship player.
 
I'd have Coady back today, not just out of sentimentality but also he would definitely make our 3 atb better.
He's probably not capable of playing in a back 4 but that isn't where we are and I'm not that confident we will be any time soon. We'd need 2 really CBs to make it worthwhile, I don't see us spending the money for that.
 
From PTS today, in a throwaway Athletic piece:

“No, you can’t have Bluey on… Why? Because Daddy is watching the football.

“It’s for work… Yes, it’s work… it’s nearly your bedtime anyway. Don’t touch that remote…”

Yes, the chance to watch a big live game is pretty rare, given the family TV is dominated by a six-year-old girl and her four-year-old brother, obsessed by Sing 2, Disney+ and incredibly irritating YouTube videos.

In fact, a costly subscription to Sky Sports — the main UK home of the Premier League since its launch more than 30 years ago — is maintained more for cricket and golf, which are usually broadcast when they are at school (on in the background, boss) or asleep.

So the opportunity to watch a consequential contest from the comfort of the sofa was most enjoyable and actually quite relaxing.


Er, Steve. If your annoying kids mean that you don't watch much football then with the greatest respect mate, how are you a football reporter.
 
To be fair there's also some ridiculous contrarian on there who says he works in sports reporting (mainly the Premier League) but only ever follows live via Radio 5.

As if he's watched an old Peter Kay DVD (or VHS, who knows) and thought you should actually live your life that way.
 
It is funny that The Athletic set out to collect all these journos that are meant to be good on the beat or reputable on ...and then there's Steve. A proper "access" journalist
 
I'd much rather have Tim II FFS
I dunno man. It's like saying you'd rather play Hoever than Doherty on Sunday.

You know that saying, "don't let perfect be the enemy of good"? Well, that, but at the other end of the scale.
