Anyone miss him as much as me in the starting line up?
I had a bad feeling about him going out again. Ben Johnson has to move back. Versus Spurs they shored up that side of the pitch.
I shouldn't dwell, but how we get through this sticky patch, McKenna needs to come up with some masterplan. |

Leicester City have ended Steve Cooper’s reign as head coach after 157 days in a ruthless move decided by owner Aiyawatt Srivaddhanaprabha.
Cooper has become the second Premier League managerial casualty of the season, with Leicester’s board acting quickly amid fears that recent performances did not suggest any signs of improvement.
The 44-year-old is understood to have been left stunned by his sacking, which was relayed to him by director of football Jon Rudkin on Sunday afternoon.
His departure has been announced despite Leicester not being in the relegation zone. In his discussions with the club before taking the job, Cooper was told by Srivaddhanaprabha that survival was the sole aim for the season.
The club were then under threat of a hefty points deduction for breaching profitability and sustainability rules [PSR] which they eventually saw off, citing a technicality in the process.
However, Srivaddhanaprabha felt compelled to make the decision now and prevent last season’s Championship title winners from potentially sliding to a second relegation in three seasons.
Brendan Rodgers precendent
Leicester were severely criticised by supporters for not dismissing Brendan Rodgers earlier during their relegation season of 2022-23.
