S-Platt Posted October 8, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted October 8, 2023 Are Leicester really that great or does their manager another Pep disciple get found out in The Premier League like Kompany seems to be? Teams that play football like Leicester and Ipswich so far this year and Burnley last doing well in a league of cloggers is one thing but translating that against Premier League teams is another.

VillaChris Posted October 8, 2023 Share Posted October 8, 2023 On 08/08/2023 at 07:15, Rds1983 said: If people think Ipswich could go up then why not Argyle? They did better than Ipswich last year, have improved their squad this summer and had a better opening result. I dont think either of them are close to going up. Ipswich remind me a fair bit of that Norwich team under Lambert. After years of stagnation they've finally got up from league one, are riding the momentum and have endless scoring options in final third. They'll have a dip at some point but serious top 2 contenders. Plymouth at point a game now so survival will be a good season and they should just about do it.

Teams that play football like Leicester and Ipswich so far this year and Burnley last doing well in a league of cloggers is one thing but translating that against Premier League teams is another. They've still got a solid core of experienced players. Coady-Winks-Dewsbury Hall-Ndidi and then the ridiculous striker options. Vardy is past it at prem level but I can't quite believe they've kept Iheanacho, he'd have been an obvious signing for Everton or Forest or even Burnley. Main issue coming up is how good Winks and Coady can be again at prem level but there's no way Leicester ownership will be as lax again with signings so they'll stay up comfortably. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted October 8, 2023 Share Posted October 8, 2023 Leicester have twelve more points than Burnley had at this stage last season, Ipswich have ten more, I think Leicesters success so far can be explained by the fact that they only lost Barnes, Maddison, and Tielemans from a squad that probably should have been good enough for top half in the Premier League, and they made some good signings, both permanent and on loan, most of them probably good enough to play first tier football. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hated relegation but lets be honest as a club we were like everton years before we went down. It was toxic. We had to ho down rebuild the club - start again. The relationship between the players and fans was at a all time low Going down let us get mings and that was the start of the rebuild and improvement of the relationship with us and the players again 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xela Posted October 8, 2023 Share Posted October 8, 2023 I have a soft spot for Ipswich. Used to see a girl down in Ipswich and she was a wild one... used to like my weekends down there, even if I did need an ice pack on it for a week afterwards.

OutByEaster? Posted October 17, 2023 Moderator Share Posted October 17, 2023 Who schedules this thing? Coming out of an international break, the entire nation gagging for the return of club football and the Championship standing alone with the plum TV slot, Friday night live - all eyes on the second tier of the English game, the joyous return of 'proper' football, millions on the edge of their seats, the single most important TV slot the Championship will have this year...and what do they give us? Rotherham versus Ipswich. Steady on chaps, there's only so much glamour I can take. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
