I hope we sort his contract and he stays - As I say he influences and changes games which is a major natural talent and benefit - With good coaching he could really develop into a fine player. Same with Alfie Lloyd I would rather see these two more in the second half of the season progress than getting a 4th/5th choice Premier League striker on loan.
Kolli has that wonderful knack of influencing and changing games. We need to see more of him in the number 9 position.
Am I right in thinking that is his natural position and he spent a lot of time playing that role in the youth and development teams.
I am old enough to remember Allen and Goddard coming through the ranks could Kolli and Lloyd be the 2025/26 version. If we get another striker in the window that will only hinder and block their progress.
I really thought the game would have to be paused - I certainly could see no action on the far side of the field for circa 40% of the game. It got better for the last 20 minutes.
Thank you Clive - Spot on report which was well balanced on the team sheet selection topic.
I was okay when I saw the starting eleven as you say it wasn't development players but first team players who could of made a big statement to the manager with their performance - Unfortunately none of them took that opportunity.
I was particularly disappointed with Edwards as I was very much looking forward to watching him play. Lacks pace and aggression and looked poor in the air just watch him for their first goal. I know he hasn't played much football and hopefully he will improve considerably in the weeks ahead as we will need him as Dunne will need to go back to Right Back.
And as for Madsen again a big chance for him but after six months with us I could see no improvement from the beginning of the season.
Big shout out to travelling fans who were magnificent again - A pleasure to be amongst you.
Finally that was my first visit to the King Power Stadium, another soulless bowl lacking any atmosphere and character - I remember watching us at Filbert Street all those years ago which had both in abundance.
Makes you appreciate how lucky we are to still have Loftus Road.
It's an interesting one this - I was quite happy with the team when I saw it before the game. Lot's of these comments are made with hindsight following the result.
Yes he could of made changes at half time but we had just got back in the game and for large parts of the first half played really well.
When it went to 4 v 2 then 5 v 2 it was game over no point bringing on Dunne then as it would of made no difference.
I think Marti definitely left Madsen on the pitch to hang him out to dry.
I get where everyone is coming from - I also think we were all surprised that Leicester went with such a strong line up especially as they have a very important midweek league fixture.
Yes as mentioned elsewhere thank you for the parking tips - I parked in Marlow Road with no issues and just a brisk 20 minute walk to the stadium. Easy to get back on the M1 too.
Fans were class today stayed with the team throughout. I along with loads of others even stayed to the end to clap the players off which is unheard off after a 6 v 2 defeat. No need to get on thier backs after recent results.
As I'm driving tomorrow (trying to lay of the booze) I think I will try the park and ride. Enderby looks the best place (from the South) getting the 203 bus.
Good job I wasn't in the dressing room after Derby away - I wanted to lynch Madsen that day. He has been woeful so far and was a big part of our problem early season.
However I don't want to throw the baby out with the bathwater just yet. If anyone can get him up to the standard required it will be Marti and the coaching team. No doubt he has natural technical ability but you need so much more in today's Championship.
Great start to Wednesday morning Clive - A cup of tea and reliving Monday night with that fabulous report.
I am still absolutely amazed with our turnaround. On the train back from Elland Road in November surrounded by Leeds fans (champions of Europe) I was convinced we were down. I watched us not lay a glove on Leeds and we stank of relegation.
And so here we are early January and my kids are now looking up the table saying could we catch Sheff Wed, Watford and Bristol City and whats that coming over the horizon it's only the play offs.
For me I'm just relieved the gap to relegation is now nine points and we weren't Charity Park Rangers on Monday night.
I'm back liking this team and its workrate off the ball, I was particularly impressed with the role of the bench Monday night. Wasn't it nice to have subs who came on and made a difference.
Just to add a bit of balance I recorded the SKY programme last night and watched today. Great to see Gareth Ainsworth and Jamie Mackie as the pundits and they obviously both still love the club and even admitted they were both bias in thier analysis.
Good to see that after everything Gareth still has a soft spot for us.
Please boys if there is one team I want you to turnover it's Luton bloody Town.
It would be very easy with the kids back at school today (and a 8.00pm kick off) to sack this one off and watch in the warm in front of the fire and a few weeks ago I might of done just that but no these boys have come up trumps recently so we will make the effort and head into W12 tonight.
Unfortunately I have no advice - We had to say goodbye to our beloved Dog just before Christmas as she was diagnosed with mouth cancer a few weeks previous. She had an Operation but the biopsy showed it was the most deadly and aggressive form of cancer she could of had.
We decided not to give her any more operations as it would of been horrific for her so decided to go down the palliative care route until her time came.
It was a tough decision but we enjoyed our last few weeks with her and the painkillers helped keep her comfortable until that day came.
It's bloody tough as they are the heart of family.
Sending all my love and best wishes to you and your four legged friend.
Clive Allen getting a late winner at the Loft End against Crystal Palace in the FA Cup QF in 1982 and the carnage afterwards will stay with me forever. I was only a young lad and thought wow I love this place.
Away from home Michael Robinson from the halfway line in 1986 and giving it to all my Chelsea mates at school the next day.
I was there the day Johnny Byrne got that goal and I remember walking through allotments too. I often wonder when I go there now where are the bloody allotments. For some time I thought I must of dreamt it or smoked something a bit potent as I used to in them days.
