Nearly popped a blood vessel when Eccles shot instead of taking it to the corner.

[David O'Day]

Should of scored more, they only got a spawny og

lovely stuff

Think the 3 at the back may be staying

 

[BackRoomRummermill]

We are different like a feel we can really achieve -

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Now Doug loosen your purse strings and let’s get a couple of players in

 

[HuckerbyDublinWhelan]

Nearly popped a blood vessel when Eccles shot instead of taking it to the corner.

And me - I’d be fuming if I was Lampard

 

[mark82]

Lampard obviously has us playing better but some of it has to come down to just playing Dovin - Kitching - Simms

Dovin has been superb. He's the big difference.

 

[EalingSB]

Starting to think about beating Sheffield United in the play-off final!
Long way to go but we look so much more cohesive, Watford created nothing really.
Dovin makes a huge difference, excellent again while also giving confidence to those in front of him.
The players are enjoying it, the fans are enjoying it so let's see where it takes us. Proud, well done lads.

 

[robbiekeane]

All those cnuts that gave lampard shit before he even managed a game hang your heads in shame

all crawling back into the woodwork

 

[shmmeee]

Second half saved by a Torp special but can’t complain. Top half at last. Looking up now aren’t we? Get the chequebook our Douggie

 

[steve101]

Super win. Lost a bit of control seconds half. Generally though, there has been a real shift in positive aggression over the last 4 games. Everyone now is up for it. Players, such as Simms looking happier.
Torp and Rudoni were excellent and that save from the deflected shot from Dovin was unreal.

 

[skybluecam]

Torp unreal

We are doing the simple things right, playing well and are certainly hard to beat. Add Wright and EMC to this team and it gets exciting.

 

[Liquid Gold]

Dovin has been superb. He's the big difference.

He's clearly miles ahead of the others. I don't know why he was ever dropped. Hopefully a great future here.

Embarrassed themselves - total fuckwits

 

[fernandopartridge]

Honestly i’ve never ever experienced a technical service like ifollow have so many fucking issues with the audio feed like how hard is it

I think it was a CWR problem today. That said, agree that the ifollow service seems to be getting worse. The club's website and app don't help, they're so clunky.

 

[JSL]

We will win today. Full stop. There is no doubt

I fancy 2-1 but I don’t really care about the precise score.

This will be me if I’m wrong:

You utter genius

 

[Tommo1993]

Credit for his two goals, but ‘most gifted midfielder in the championship’ is laughable

 

[shmmeee]

And me - I’d be fuming if I was Lampard

I assumed it was Torp looking for his hatty when I saw it was Eccles I was fuming. At least play Bassette in.

 

[HuckerbyDublinWhelan]

Torp unreal

We are doing the simple things right, playing well and are certainly hard to beat. Add Wright and EMC to this team and it gets exciting.

Problem is we arguably look better since the change in formation. EMC doesn’t fit in a 3-5-2/5-3-2

 

[Alkhen]

Lampard obviously has us playing better but some of it has to come down to just playing Dovin - Kitching - Simms

Those 3 all build like brick shithouses, definitely adds a bit of steel. Allen is having a proper renaissance, keeps us ticking so well in the middle. Torp looks to be taking notes from Lampard. So many reasons to be optimistic

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Credit for his two goals, but ‘most gifted midfielder in the championship’ is laughable

He was exCellent today don’t you think

 

[hamil99]

Love how vocal Dovin has become. You can see him guiding the defense, which he didn't do when he first came in. He really has all the attributes to be a top level keeper.

 

[JSL]

Credit for his two goals, but ‘most gifted midfielder in the championship’ is laughable

Hes a really good player. Often unfairly underrated

 

[HuckerbyDublinWhelan]

I assumed it was Torp looking for his hatty when I saw it was Eccles I was fuming. At least play Bassette in.

Yeah -I’d be fuming if it was Torp but understand it… no reason for Eccles to do that

Some of them posting in the thread now pretending like they had no issue

 

[Earlsdon_Skyblue1]

Great result. Hitting some proper form now. Suddenly everything is looking at lot better.

The midfield is a revelation, not that this surprises me particularly.

I'll enjoy my non-alcoholic cerveza this evening!

 

[Frostie]

Problem is we arguably look better since the change in formation. EMC doesn’t fit in a 3-5-2/5-3-2

Definitely. Although it was forced on us to a point, credit to Lampard, we undoubtedly have had our better performances with a back 3.

 

[Liquid Gold]

If this team had a hard nut old head at the back and a quality box to box midfielder we'd actually be a force

 

[skybluecam]

Problem is we arguably look better since the change in formation. EMC doesn’t fit in a 3-5-2/5-3-2

I still think 433/4231 will be our formation long term.

 

[Matt smith]

Nearly popped a blood vessel when Eccles shot instead of taking it to the corner.

I couldn’t believe he shot.

Credit to the team and manager great week and deserves huge credit

 

[shmmeee]

Definitely. Although it was forced on us to a point, credit to Lampard, we undoubtedly have had our better performances with a back 3.

It’s all a bit no nonsense at times but it’s working. First half was really good, shame we couldn’t keep it up second half.

 

[Tommo1993]

He was exCellent today don’t you think

Had a good game definitely. People get overexcited though and make funny claims.

 

[shmmeee]

I still think 433/4231 will be our formation long term.

If we keeping winning do you change it back when Haji/EMC is back?

 

[mmttww]

Embarrassed themselves - total fuckwits

About as embarrassing as being a massive after timer. Point scoring from anyone is nauseating.

 

[David O'Day]

Problem is we arguably look better since the change in formation. EMC doesn’t fit in a 3-5-2/5-3-2

we seem to hanged to a 3-4-3 in games and you can play him on the left of the front 3 i guess, issue is fitting in rudi then
