I never actually thought about it like that, clearly a Lampard effect.

How nice is it to have someone making proactive tactical changes. I loved MR and he is still the king but his massive flaw his inability to change the game plan mid game or bring on the right substitute.

Tbf I love Sheaf and think he’s brilliant usually but he was absolutely shite today. Looked 3 yards off the pace, always second best to the ball and gave it away constantly. Looks like this injury hasn’t quite settled. Interesting that once Eccles came on the pitch he had to bail Sheaf out...

I’m desperately looking for positives at the minute but I am really liking the looking of EMC at the minute. He looked really good yesterday and has done for a few games off the bench (Sheff Utd for one). I do believe he can become a great player for us eventually and a bit of a slow burner to...

Seems neither the haircut or the man can age

MR had the final say on pretty much everything before and picked his own team and had his own coaching staff. We’ve since ripped 95% of that responsibility and support away from him and given him a brand new coaching set up with that could fill a football team and seemingly won’t go for his...

This is a most sensible argument as it’s obvious that after one or two bad games players can go from hero to zero and get absolutely slated online. Something I do fear for Norm once he’s out of this initial honeymoon period and if he misses a few chances. I really like the kid and think he’ll...

Saddle Vs Terry: Round 14 This is bigger than AJ / DD

I think at some point we will see: Wright Simms Bassette Quite an attacking front 3 but it may be better at an away game as Tats doesn’t seem to be as good when we play away and Bassette’s constant hounding and general cuntishness would likely give us that needed edge away from home that we’ve...

Yes, I’ve always said if he was foreign and bought for a few million we would be constantly talking about how amazing he is. His stats are great but not only that when you see him play you can see his energy and desire is top class. The problem we seem to have is he could do ten things right...

Ayari starting in the middle for Sweden too which I thought I’d never be writing a couple years ago

Ayari starting in the middle for Sweden too which I thought I’d never be writing a couple years ago

Why? The bloke has come in and given us £40m+ to spend and a real platform to have a go at getting Premier League football. It’s early in the season but if we continue this poor form then the blame lies firmly away from Doug and with either the coaching staff or recruitment or both.

Hopefully it gives the other players a kick up the arse to show some aggression. I think he can become a real leader that we have been missing in the side, which is to say crazy considering he’s only 19. I wouldn’t be surprised if he was one of the two who showed leadership qualities after the...

What I would give for their midfield of Vini Souza, Hamer and Arblaster. I thought at a very minimum Hamer and Souza were being sold but Arblaster had a lot of Prem interest too. Stick their midfield in our team and we piss the league.

The concern for me is how unbelievably predictable our play is. It just involves going out to our full backs who pass up to our wingers and then they cut back and pass backwards. Apart from any moments of individual play on the wing when Haji/EMC can beat a man on the odd occasion then we seem...

One big positive for me today was Bassette. He looks like he has the potential to be a really good player but the main thing that stood out is how fired up he was and made a difference to the players around him. I feel as a team we seem to be lacking any sense of leadership or anyone who can get...

Midfield absolutely annihilated once again and against every opposition bar Oxford so far. Although it appears you can’t point that out because some people bury their heads in the sand.

He might struggle as he’s going to have to cover RB, CM and CB too all at the same time now. Either that or see if we can convert Norman or BTA to RB. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So we desperately needed someone in the middle of the park and instead we’ve actually weakened the squad by selling Palmer. What a fantastic day [emoji23]
