Game for the taking, insane decision to drop Nunez and Taylor for Cajuste and Akpom. Very, very frustrating.

Since you allegedly attended why don't you give us some actual contributions to discussion about the game. Tell me what we gained from dropping Jack Taylor for Cajuste. Are you capable of that 😂😂😂

The changes had nothing to do with us not winning. We created more than enough good chances to win the game tonight but didn't take them. I'm guessing you didn't go so probably can't really offer anything more than a simplistic view based off seeing the team sheet on X.

Go on then Mt know it all, give us some actual discussion rather than just defacating all over what every one else says with inane comments. No, you can't because you know fook all about football.


As a team we created enough chances to bury Watford tonight , personally I enjoyed the game and just a tad frustrated we didn’t finish those chances ,
It’s football and we move on ……some on here just moan for a reaction I’m sure ……melts !

Doesn't have to be either/or. We can win games now and later if we play our form players for 60 minutes and the ones that need to get up to speed for 30 minutes.


Don't entirely agree. Do you think if Egeli had played 20-30 mins per match to 'get up to speed' we would have seen the incremental improvement we have over the last handful of matches? Kieran HAS to juggle those players he sees that NEED to have a run of games, plus allowing fringe players to get minutes in their legs. It is so, so complicated to manage perfectly.

He's damned if he does, and damned if he doesn't with some fans.

Okay, so you weren't at the game, you can't articulate how us not winning tonight had anything to do with making a couple of changes, and you're a Leicester fan pissing about on an ITFC forum. I think that's a fair summary of where we're at. Cheers.

I thought it was quite clear tonight that Azón had a terrible miss, Nunez a terrible miss, Azón a great opportunity saved, Taylor a good chance spurned, and Akpom and Clarke didn't seize a good opportunity each to take a shot quickly. I wouldn't have dropped either myself but it was the shooting that denied us a victory if we're being honest.


Kieran brought in all of these expensive new players who simply cannot score a goal. Nunez's freekicks aside, the new recruits have achieved what would seem impossible on paper in firing absolute blanks the whole bleeding time. Kipre up front maybe? He has more goals than Azon, Akpom, McAteer, etc etc etc etc

You're a Leicester fan, please stop pretending you support Ipswich. It's all on record. I know enough about football to know that grown ups don't pretend to support teams they don't really support.

We did more than enough to in, but our finishing was abysmal again. If we can sort that for more than one game every few games then we will be just fine. It's letting us down at the moment, but it's nothing to do with team selection.

Herbz apart from the goal

What shots at goal did we have before the subs?

I can remember the goal. Cajustes individual effort.
Most of the ones I remember came after the subs.

Pls explain your working as yo how bringing in Akpom and Cajuste was designed to stop Watford.
Both are more attacking than the players they replaced

I think on the face of it, bringing in Jens Cajuste and Chuba Akpom should not hinder the strength of the side - unfortunately, like we are seeing across the pitch, the levels players are performing at are far below what you’d probably expect.

That ultimately isn’t KMc fault when they cross the line and don’t deliver a performance.

No my thinking is that with Nunez in the 10 our attacking play was much more fluid he offers far more than Akpom who is not suited to the role. As for midfield, Taylor might be technically inferior to Cajuste but he offers us defensive cover and quite frankly attacking thrust that Jens just doesn't. Don't understand why Kieran felt the need to tinker unnecessarily with a winning team.

We often create more late in games after our subs because we have better quality on the bench at this level than our opponents and they're often knackered so there's more space for us. Creating chances late has been a hallmark of our play this season, regardless of who has started. But we did have chances earlier in the game too. Hirst had a good headed chance, Akpom had a shot well saved, for example. The idea that we'd have walked it if Taylor and Nunez started is for the birds. We created plenty across the 90 minutes and really should have won.

Because you don’t play the same 11 every game in modern football is the answer.

It’s not 1981 when we had only about 15 players most of whom played 60 games.

I suggest that you accept that there will be changes in most games and if it’s only a couple of players then we should be able to cope with that. Cajuste & Azor were our preferred pair for most of the first 2 months of the season and Nunez is probably not ready to play 2 games in 3 days.

Thought tonight was the perfect opportunity to play Akpom as the 9, Nunez at 10. Hirst runs around alot but that's about it. Can't believe Nunez didn't keep his place. Play your best players ffs.


if anyone cost us 2 points it was nunez's miss... akpom probably did a better job as a 10 over the time he was on the pitch than nunez did against qpr and tonight.

if he could only take free kicks like nunez!

Result was frustrating but I didn't see any improvement when the subs came on.

Also not KMs fault multiple players missed golden opportunities.

Even if I agreed with you, it wouldn't be 3 points dropped, only 2.


There was a lot of improvement when the subs came on in terms of intensity and creating chances, problem was we couldn't take any of them.

That is a very short sighted statement


McKenna: We'll Pick the Team For Watford But Also the Run Coming Up 3rd Nov 2025 12:29
Boss Kieran McKenna says he’ll pick the team which he believes gives Town the best chance of beating Watford at Portman Road on Tuesday, but also with a view to winning the games to come with the Blues at Swansea City on Saturday, then facing a very busy run of fixtures after the international break. 43



Town have to prep for a run of 5 games in 15 days starting with Wrexham. McCarthy, Hurst, Lambert and Cook all seemed to gamble with injuries in the past and it bit us in the arse. We all know that winter if a crap time for football fixtures and should be thankful that someone isn't happy to gamble with a heightened risk of long term injuries due to ignoring their squad depth.

Hes setting up our team with changes to nulify the opposition ..!! What about letting them worry about us


No he isn’t. He said why he was making changes. Basically a lot of games in a short space of time, he’s managing the squad. Nothing whatever to do with the opposition in this instance.

Would I have kept the same team? Yes. But then my application for the job was rejected in favour of McKenna. No idea why.
