The match day forum thread and likewise here are full of player frailties and acusations. 'They are shite', 'can't defend', and the list goes on. It's a player attack and nothing else? The reality is we largely have the same players that took us to the FA Cup semi and showed us what was to come...

Definately got players of quality at this level. Let's not simply say they are shite. They are not. Many managers in the league say so too. As always it's the coaching ability that makes a team tick. What we are seeing is players unable to cope with anything once the first plan has gone out the...

One game does not decide a season but the signs are there since Doug came with his wholesome changes.

These are good players. The coaching has been off since it was changed early in the year. Robin's had problems with it and Vivash clearly had issues. You can see players are not sure of their roles. The Vivash/Robin's combination would have continued their good work and had us top six. Where did...

Lampard seems clueless to me. lacks direction and purpose. Use of players and tactics at loggerheads with each other. I still think my concerns are valid about Lampard.

DaSilva can't defend at this level, why Bidwell is not in there away from home is atrocious thinking. Collins gift. Bassette causing problems and got on the end of one but there is no composure from him. It's so wasteful. We are not holding the ball up and badly need Simms on. Bassette and...

All of these early games are a test for lampard's set up and his ability as a coach. Pompey can be energized at home so we need to stand firm, be strong in the tackle and win the second ball. Maintain possesion and just attack them from the start. They will crumble if we get an early goal. Let...

Grendel having another wobbly. You dug yourself a whole mate, own it.

Still not convinced with Frank at the helm. These are good players yet we are not getting the best out of them.

Again undone by bad team selection. Lati, Eccles, Bassette. Should have been Binks, Torp, Simms. I fear the writing on the wall. Sack Robins and bring in a star x footballer who really is still learning about coaching. Simms score some 16 goals after a slow start last year, bassette has all the...

Wrong team! Where's Torp? & Simms?

WBA are due a win or a defeat when you look at the amopunt of drawsthey have had! So it will go one way or the other... lamps needs to show tactical skill here, a bigger test than Millwall. They are strong in the air so a worry if Lati plays in a CB position. We will need to defend well and stop...

Torp must play, he is the only forward thinking midfielder. Time for Eccles to warm the bench. Simms must start. Basette is far to raw and has a lot to do b4 being our main attacking threat. EMC or Asante? Bidwell should come in to add stability at the back. That should do it. Can see a very...

Admired him as a player but Non-Plussed by this appointment tbh. I sincerely hope Frank proves me wrong.

What a twist...did we hang in for R Van.N but he decided the Foxes? Hence the delay. So is Lamps second choice? Robin's is still my prefered option and should never had gone, but seems likely to land the Hull job. Expect Vivash to turn up with him. That would answer so many questions. It's a...

We were not quite at the races tonight yet for long stretches Burnley did not look like they could hurt us. Then DaSilva lost his man and nothing the CB's could do about that. The keeper should really have blocked it easily though. The second was a fluke but came from a poor clearance on our...

Viks playing in a league that is not that strong tbh. But he is riping it up. Has done it for the national side now too. His opportunity to shine against tough opposition is tonight against Arsenal. So pleased for him. It shows how football is largely based on fine lines, from being let go as an...

We are not looking for a manager.

A win all day long here. Carr has them ticking and motivated. The tweaks he has made have been good. Confidence is flowing again.

Got to say he has done well in difficult circumstances. His team changes have been positive. Clearly has the players behind him. Think he could continue to do a good job.
