Unbeaten at home under Lampard (5 games?) despite being fecking terrible. Missing EMC, Wright and Sakamoto for chunks of that. We will improve, just need to be patient (not a trait a lot of football fans have)
Unbeaten at home under Lampard (5 games?) despite being fecking terrible. Missing EMC, Wright and Sakamoto for chunks of that. We will improve, just need to be patient (not a trait a lot of football fans have)You'll find it easy today we are lacking our better players and are fucking terrible this season.
The failure to settle on the best lineup in literally any part of the pitch this season has really been our undoing.
The heightened expectations ahead of this season were predicated on Robins not needing to do major surgery on our starting XI - it was very strange and disappointing that we spent so much of the first part of the season cycling through different lineups and formations when it was supposed to be a season of continuity.It has, but like I said, it happened under Robibs but he'd usually got a more settles line up by late autumn/early winter but this,season we've brought in a new manager who looks to be going through the same process.
Losing our 2 left sided attacking players when the intention is to play 4 3 3 didn't help.
The best summary of the situation I have seen. Very disappointing that this was happening when the opening fixtures appeared to be so favourable.The heightened expectations ahead of this season were predicated on Robins not needing to do major surgery on our starting XI - it was very strange and disappointing that we spent so much of the first part of the season cycling through different lineups and formations when it was supposed to be a season of continuity.
All the right notes but in the wrong placesThe heightened expectations ahead of this season were predicated on Robins not needing to do major surgery on our starting XI - it was very strange and disappointing that we spent so much of the first part of the season cycling through different lineups and formations when it was supposed to be a season of continuity.
No and long may it continueYeah with Pring out
Has Dasilva not been a regular starter?
The lack of continuity was very disappointing and is ultimately why what happened, happened.The heightened expectations ahead of this season were predicated on Robins not needing to do major surgery on our starting XI - it was very strange and disappointing that we spent so much of the first part of the season cycling through different lineups and formations when it was supposed to be a season of continuity.
And that is why some players from that era ended up struggling to walk or with Alzheimers. There is a reason Vic doesn't head the ball much for a centre forward.
Give a player an injection and send him out was the norm, along with try to cripple the opposition. Pele playing against Argentina in the 1966 World Cup comes to mind. That was not football.
That is why so many clubs rotate these days.
70s and 80s footballers were a load of pissheads, even our 1987 cup winning team.
Binning off Dovin so quickly was an early red flag. I suspect had he kept his place we’d have quite a few more points on that basis alone.The heightened expectations ahead of this season were predicated on Robins not needing to do major surgery on our starting XI - it was very strange and disappointing that we spent so much of the first part of the season cycling through different lineups and formations when it was supposed to be a season of continuity.

Just to piss off Subderland?I’ll go 2-2
I do also feel both of them try to pigeon hole players into a system instead of adapting one to the team.I feel like managers might overthink how to counter the opposition rather than trying to impose upon them. It happened with Robins and it's seemingly happening again with Lampard.
2:55As someone who lives close to stadium and doesn't need to drive to the area in match days can anyone say what time it gets busy on a444 and surround roads like winding house and burbages etc?
I'm currently at the gym and debating wether I need to cut it short and get back before I get stuck in traffic?
Thanks

To be fair without established wingers, Lampard doesn’t have alot of options.I feel like managers might overthink how to counter the opposition rather than trying to impose upon them. It happened with Robins and it's seemingly happening again with Lampard.
What you mean?I feel like managers might overthink how to counter the opposition rather than trying to impose upon them. It happened with Robins and it's seemingly happening again with Lampard.
No alternative when the team is soft as shit, nothing imposing about our teamI feel like managers might overthink how to counter the opposition rather than trying to impose upon them. It happened with Robins and it's seemingly happening again with LaLampard.
3-452:55
My thoughts exactly. FFS. Need to score at least two to win.Dasilva and Binks???
That's the clean sheet gone then!
Binks played as the central player of the 3 last week which helps as his relationship with the full back / wing back is a problemDasilva and Binks???
That's the clean sheet gone then!
