regardless what happens. this squad needs an overhaul. easily say 7-8 players are not good enough it’s not like we are just 2 or 3 short
Yeh but I'm saying what you think of the standard of the league is irrelevant as that's our competition. Assuming we don't go up we've got a squad that is around 5th-7th based on its competition as a starting point for Lampard. That's a good starting point and people should be looking forward to next season regardless of what happens from here.
Explain why it is shite? Would you prefer it to be the total opposite like the Prem where certain teams are nearly always near the top and the promoted teams are nearly always at the bottom? That's shite to me.what a load of nonsense
the reason we still have it in our hands is because the league really is that shit
boro missed a penalty to go 2 up against Wednesday. somehow we still have 6th but that’s not down to our great play it’s down to how shit other teams are
to win 3 from 9 and lose 5 yet still be in the playoffs shows me everything
we have played really well in 2 or 3 games when it’s mattered from last 9 games
Perhaps the other teams are actually quite good and so countered our performances?

So we're shite because Middlesbrough missed a penaltyWe're not as good without Dovin. If you read on here you will know it's one of the very rare things we all agree on 100%. But strangely enough you ignore this fact. With Dovin we would already have secured our playoff place and your rant would look more stupid than it does now.
Right I agree with you to an extent but I still don't understand your point. For us to have shortcomings but still be where we are, as I keep saying, relative to our competition is a good starting point for Lampard going into the summer.regardless what happens. this squad needs an overhaul. easily say 7-8 players are not good enough it’s not like we are just 2 or 3 short
lol now I know you are on a wind up
the standard is poor
if you think the standard of this league is quite good then you don’t watch football
So you call them on top when they're camped out in our half yet we're not on top when camped out in their half. OK.How many shots did we have on target yesterday?
never once yesterday did we look a threat. we were never on top
we had the ball more but never on top so that proves my delusional point if you thought we looked on top yesterday at any point
That's not saying why you think that the Championship is shite.our outfield performance have gone downhill since Sunderland game
we’ve played well twice in the last 9. so we all agree that collins isn’t good enough why doesn’t Lampard?
Statistically it’s the best second division in the world.
When you say we’re poor, who/what are you comparing us to?
Because you seem to agree that there aren’t currently 6 teams better than us. So I’m confused as to what you’re using as a benchmark
That's not saying why you think that the Championship is shite.
lol - football standards have dropped over recent years
the prem is the same
I based my opinion on what I see and the standard of football I see mostly this season has been average to say the least
The team of 87 that won the FA cup wasn’t very good then
wtf are you on about now?
cup games are one off look at our run last season
the 87 team was very good Im sure we finished top half that season
Most of our 1st team players are good enough for the Championship. We're not a 2 player team anymore like we were with Gyokeres and Hamer. We went on a near record run from January when our best players were injured. But if you want to compare us to sides that have the Prem money coming down then of course that's a different matter. We're not alone here. But slowly we're closing the gap.regardless what happens. this squad needs an overhaul. easily say 7-8 players are not good enough it’s not like we are just 2 or 3 short
Everyone else was poor then though. The standard of 80s football was really low, so we were lucky it seems
Yes I watch football. But I hardly ever bother watching Prem games because they're boring most of the time.do you watch football?
the performances last season were far better than this season yet last season we didn’t make the playoffs
the standard is shocking very rarely do I leave a game and think they are two good teams
the gap now between championship and prem is bigger than ever and imo prem standards are not what they were compared to 10 years ago

Our GK problems have seriously cost us this season. Without them we would be doing much better.difference is those 2 players were consistently good
apart from Rudoni at the min , not one player has shown consistency of their abilities which either means mentally they are not good enough or they flatter to deceive at times
If we miss out we lose the backbone of the squad.
MvE
Rudoni
Sheaf
Wright
Will probably all move on. That's a lot of quality we will need to replace, and replacing talent AND getting it right is quite a challenge.
It won't be the end of the world as we've done similar before, but to miss out now would be so disapointing having done the hard work and gone from 17th in the championship to 5th

Are you going to try and disagree with this?
It’s clear that we’ve had some key players out the last 3 months. This is MR’s squad bar Grimes. The players did well to get where we are given that we were relegation form prior to Lampard taking over.I think the frustration is we’re doing our best to throw this opportunity away. Next season the league will be tougher.
So you think a player isn't good enough for the Championship if he doesn't make you say 'wow'? If that's the case 99% of Championship players are not good enough to play in the Championship.again apart from rudi you tell me another player who consistently shows us performances where you think wow?
you are right so why does Lampard still persist with him? he should never have played again after pompey
but also the outfield players have not played good enough in the last month not all down to collins

The only valid point you have made is this GK one. What do we know?
Some of the defeats are down to how Lampard sets us up. Let's take the Plymouth game for an example. I said if we play the high line against them we would be in trouble. I said the way they would play. I named the players that would score. If an idiot like myself could see it coming why didn't Lampard?
Ever played a game with 10? Did you expect us to pop it about? And rain shots in on their goal?did you watch the game?
we didn’t look a threat at all
if we peppered their goal then conceded late on that’s unlucky but only one team looked like wanting a win and that was luton
Our players are at this level because they are inconsistent/ work in progress - that’s where we are?!lol I hope you are a millionaire with all these perfect predictions
you look at the Leeds team, most of them players at the cbs that night I thought wow
we’ve spent a lot of money and so far only rudi is showing value for money with his consistent performances
since wright hat trick against Sunderland he’s done nothing. thats the point
we have too many individuals who one week look great players followed by 4 or 5 bang average performances
Welcome to the world of the life of a Championship player. If they were more consistent they would have the chance of becoming a Prem player.lol I hope you are a millionaire with all these perfect predictions

It’s rather entertaining that one of the few threads trying to be positive immediately attracts GIMOC to come and bash the team he apparently supports.

that was probably our best defensive effort in long time. They huffed and puffed but rarely carved us open.
we are 6th best team in league currently, done amazingly to get in this position.
why the constant league is crap, everyone else is crap narrative? Of course we are not perfect and need improving, like all teams.
embrace and enjoy Saturday.
Fact?bash?
everything is facts
we have somehow still managed to stay in the playoffs despite inept performances
so you are telling me we’ve played well last 9 games to warrant the spot
we have got lucky so unsure how this is bashing
Sunderland are average from what I’ve seen
Sheff Utd bottled it after beating us. ask any of there fans and they would agree
Fact?
You're calling our players shite and calling the Championship shite because or players are not of a Prem quality while ignoring the fact you need Prem money to put together the players you think we should have.
