[Mr Panda]

Not playing into the elite tactician stuff but it's good from Frank. Some very key players out, he's stepped away from his usual style and he's grinding out results.

Couldn’t find a scarf with built in spell check?

 

[Paul Anthony]

Is the relegation battle off then?

Relegation!?

Get that hotel booked. We're off to Wembley!

Certainly got you doing the writing on the scarves

 

[Cally Fedora]

Dovin, Kitching, Allen the holy trinity of newness. Lati superb and Rudoni excellent. Good solid win

 

[Hobo]

A good gritty away win. Every player played a role.

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Can't fault Lampard's in-game tactics. Sakamoto and Eccles did well coming on and sured us up when we were looking stretched.

Rudoni left is so effective
Thought Eccles was better than sat saka not really

 

[StrettoBoy]

Some good performances tonight.

I don’t think any of our players had a poor game tonight.

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Kitching looking good
Thomas did when he came on tol

 

[SBT]

We look so much more controlled with 3ATB - I’ve no idea if this is the system that Lampard wants us to play long-term but it’s imperative we keep it this way for the time being.

Full credit to Lampard for responding to their changes, we very quickly took any sting out of the game that their subs could’ve made by changing shape.

It was the AI!

Or was it my cousin? One of the two

 

[SkyBlueStallion_89]

Milan played really well tonight plus we've still got Hadji and EMC to come back

 

[Speedies_Chips]

Am I right in saying we have nothing to whinge at tonight again …

Give it time!

 

[covcity4life]

Out of the negative goal diff. 7 PTS from playoffs

Starting to get exciting..

 

[SBT]

Also please tell me the new Dovin song isn’t just the Ben Wilson song with the names changed…

 

[jto123]

Have to back this up Saturday!

 

[larry_david]

The ref?

I had torp to be booked at 9-1

He gave away 6 fouls, no yellow. Ref's a disgrace!

 

[shmmeee]

Start with that 541 next game I reckon

Dovin
MvE Lats Thomas Kitching Bidwell/Dasilva
Saka Allen Torp Rudoni
Simms

Harsh on BTA after 2 in 2 though.

 

[KenilworthSkyBlue]

Are we still in a relegation battle?

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Are we still in a relegation battle?

That question has been answered already

 

[ptr]

Genuinely thought that was a very good performance. Defended well. Dovin getting better and better. BTA and Simms both scoring is a massive plus.

Yes it’s untidy at times but you can see what we could be with players coming back from injury. Bring on Watford!

 

[Londonccfcfan]

Did

Unleash Beastmode Simms. Getting close to his best.

2 for Simms.
Hard fought 3 - 1 win.

I thought Simms got 2?

 

[wingy]

The football is fucking terrible but you can’t argue with the results since new year.

It's far better than this choreographed stuff tbh for me anyway it's real football! /

 

[Major Tom]

Milan played really well tonight plus we've still got Hadji and EMC to come back

For the play offs push

 

[covcity4life]

That question has been answered already

It didn't need to be answered let's be honest.

 

[Seamus1]

Credit to Joe Edwards and Chris Jones too

 

[eyesee]

safe journey home, SBA.
you did us proud tonight.

 

[Gint11]

If we win Saturday, it’s game on

 

[Perennial Lurker]

In the past two weeks we were selling Kitching ,Lati and BTA?
Thank fook we didn't , all three have contributed hugely to recent results

 

[Sky Blue Goblin]

Start with that 541 next game I reckon

Dovin
MvE Lats Thomas Kitching Bidwell/Dasilva
Saka Allen Torp Rudoni
Simms

Harsh on BTA after 2 in 2 though.

I would as well. Pitched the 5-4-1/ 3-4-3 and think it plays to our strengths. Allen and Torp both doing well where I would trust them to be the two holders.

 

[CovLad94]

Torp has come on loads under Frank, his shirt to lose now. Seems to have found some aggression and bite now

Rudoni always looks better out wide to me

 

[JoeCCFCPUSB]

We have to keep playing the 5 at the back. The defence isn't good enough as a 4, but with the 3 centre backs it's made a huge difference. Not sure if that's due to Thomas being dropped but 3 wins on the bounce, we have finally started to win some games.

Dovin is a fucking class act.

He absolutely ran his bollocks off for 70 minutes tonight

Kitching and Lati plus one other if we keep playing a back three
