That is a big issue. He offers zero in terms of leadership on the pitch.
We need a leader as Sheaf definitely isn’t one.
You can tell Basette is 19. Has literally zero sense with his movement or nouse. He must burn silly amounts of energy just chasing the ball like a 6 year old.We’ve created a laid back squad. There’s very little aggression. It’s why Bassette stands out even though he’s really just running about. Need some “dog” in Jan

Was he or were we doing that new thing of not giving the taker the ball until the last minute.
Absolutely zero, honestly looks like the players don't care about the outcome. 10 mins to go, ball goes for a throw, Cardiff time waste while Rudoni looks the other way and Sheaf does up his shoes.
We desperately need some leaders otherwise this season could turn into a disaster.

There are obviously wider issues as to why Kitching isn’t playing, IMO.I seriously think 2 experienced leaders will turn this squad around, one at CB the other in midfield, Sheaf needs to lose the captaincy ASAP, he's as weak as it gets. Kitching needs to get in ahead of Binks, has a mistake in him but I think he's a better defender overall.
If I remember right Barnsley fans thought he got worse when he got made their captainNeed a wanker in the squad to be honest. Someone who can kick off a bit and raise standards.
Wouldn’t be shocked to see Liam get another chance. I’ll die on this hill. He was a captain at Barnsley, surely he has more leadership skills than he’s shown here
Think he was trying to force his move here but will check the timeline on that.If I remember right Barnsley fans thought he got worse when he got made their captain
Liam Kitching…raise standards?Need a wanker in the squad to be honest. Someone who can kick off a bit and raise standards.

Not saying Liam is the answer overall but surely there’s something there right?Liam Kitching…raise standards?
Can't possibly be worse than Binks can he?Liam Kitching…raise standards?
Binks is a squad player for me but Kitching hardly seems like someone to come in and set an example.Can't possibly be worse than Binks can he?
I'd play him ahead of Binks every day.Binks is a squad player for me but Kitching hardly seems like someone to come in and set an example.
Trust me Mark Robins could be ruthless when he felt the need to be.As someone else said on here the other day, they want to be big Premier League players, but they don’t want to put in the effort to get that.
I sincerely hope that Lampard has a nastier side than Robins did because these players don’t respond to the softly softly approach.
They need to be firmly told, shape up or shit out
He has to because he knows most of them are mentally weak.Lampard specifically praised their character in his post match interview lol
remember when sheaf had the ball at the edge of the box then took and extra touch to get even closer, then flapped it anyway and leathered it at Bassettes feet in the box and then moaned when he lost itNobody is brave enough to have a shot or gamble
well he’s not exactly going to say yeh they’re all a bunch of pussies is heLampard specifically praised their character in his post match interview lol
i think you’re way off here. I think he makes intelligent runs most of the time in behind but everyone’s too shit scared of having a gamble to thread it throughYou can tell Basette is 19. Has literally zero sense with his movement or nouse. He must burn silly amounts of energy just chasing the ball like a 6 year old.
Ok he's a liar and you guys are all right lolwell he’s not exactly going to say yeh they’re all a bunch of pussies is he
i’m not saying that, i’m just saying it’s not like him praising their character in one of his first interviews when that’s been very publicly called into question recently, holds much weightOk he's a liar and you guys are all right lol
Well it’s common sense he’s not going to slag the plays off after his first game in charge.Ok he's a liar and you guys are all right lol
Ok he's a liar and you guys are all right lol
It's not naive though is it? As he is saying what I said initially anywayOn this particular point I think you're right but believing everything people say to the press is a bit naive to say the least
It's not naive though is it? As he is saying what I said initially anyway
Of course manager won't always throw players under the bus and nor should they but as I said before evidence shows these players do have some character.
I haven't done that though is my point.Believing everything said in the press isn't naive? OK.
Compare him to your username at 19 and the realisation we're clutching at straws will kick in.i think you’re way off here. I think he makes intelligent runs most of the time in behind but everyone’s too shit scared of having a gamble to thread it through
i also think they are probably being asked to press and he’s the only fucker doing it, which gives the appearance of him running around like a headless chicken cause no one else is supporting him
to be clear the jury is still very much out on him but he gets in great positions and harasses defenders often leading to us winning possession. got a bit of arsehole about him too which for inexplicable reasons rather than drawing it out of everyone else, somehow seems to alienate him a bit
I haven't done that though is my point.
Have I not just said that some managers will do that?You've taken what Lampard has said as gospel. That's fine, and I believe him myself, but there's no doubt these throw up a tremendous amount of bullshit and shouldn't be taken as gospel.
Have I not just said that some managers will do that?
He is saying what I believe to be the case anyway so of course I'm gonna believe him on this one.
