I did say torp would come in for Eccles rather than anyone else.

How do we know which way round the two CBs will play?

Yeah a lot of people assuming Lat will be on the left, he could be right and Thomas switched. Don't like either mind.

 

[Captain Dart]

At least JDS has been banned off

I may be wrong but I can't see Bidwell staying on all game, so who will come on to see the game out? Odds on it is JDS but maybe it will be Binks.

 

[Evo1883]

They do have players out might be our saving grace today

 

[Ashdown]

I thought Norman would have started after Frank talked him up this week.

 

[Boicey]

Lati speaks well and talks a good game. Managers seem overly impressed with that.
I guess Lampard hasn't looked in detail at the keeper situation yet. Let's hope Collins doesn't make him do that by dropping a bollock today...

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Rumour was £1.7m

Got you so not £8m worth of CB on the bench like @Para1140 said

 

[Captain Dart]

I would say Torp is more disciplined and positionally aware.

 

[no_loyalty]

Looks like £4M down the swanny for Kitching.

People can not be start games without them being binned off.

 

[Nick]

I hope Lampard has spent the week giving Torp, Sheaf and Rudoni a master class.

They are all going to come out wearing predators and shooting from the half way line into the top corner.

 

[Otis]

Lati starting

Taxi for Robins.

 

[Evo1883]

Maybe it's a physicality thing

 

[Nick]

I'm not sure anybody is going to pay money for him if he's been on the bench all season.

 

[Nick]

Maybe it's a physicality thing

Let's hope Simms puts it about.

 

[Sick Boy]

I think it’s fair to say that Kitching has no future at the club.

How does Collins keep his place in goal ? He's a league 1 keeper at best.

 

[Evo1883]

I'm not sure anybody is going to pay money for him if he's been on the bench all season.

Who negotiated the fees ? Did well with the EMC and kitching fees expecially

 

[shmmeee]

Maybe it's a physicality thing

I think a lot of last weeks team was giving players who had the short a chance after not much time to assess.

 

[Ccfcisparks]

It was time Norman had a rest, he’s started the last 3 hasnt he?

 

[SIR ERNIE]

Would have preferred Simms + Bassette up top, Eccles in and leave Sakamoto and EMC on the bench.

 

[Para1140]

Got you so not £8m worth of CB on the bench like @Para1140 said

Call it a round £6m then if it makes you feel better

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Call it a round £6m then if it makes you feel better

I’d be amazed if we paid £4m upfront for Kitching but yes ok

 

[Macca]

Never wanted us to win more to avoid the not so subtle gloating later if we don't. PUSB

 

[skybluecam]

Would have preferred Simms + Bassette up top, leave Sakamoto and EMC on the bench.

So a completely different formation then lol?

 

[fatso]

I would say Torp is more disciplined and positionally aware.

But is he up to the physical demands of Millwall away?
Torp and Sakamoto might be too lightweight today, time will tell I guess.

At least we have options on the bench to change things.

 

[SIR ERNIE]

So a completely different formation then lol?

Correct well done.

 

[skybluecam]

Still think we'll win tbh, just a shame Lampard has been conned by the training merchant

 

[shmmeee]

I like the team. Pretty agnostic on the defence as they’re all crap and disorganised. So whoever they think they can get a tune out of I’ll give it a go.

 

[skybluecam]

Correct well done.

Don't think Lampard has ever used a 2 striker formation in his career so you'll probably continue to be disappointed

 

[lewys33]

Defensive situation worries me massively. Lati is a good utility player but that’s it.
Desperately need the Thomas and Kitching we had at the start of last year.

 

[SIR ERNIE]

Don't think Lampard has ever used a 2 striker formation in his career so you'll probably continue to be disappointed

Not disappointed, just stating my preference.

 

[Great_Expectations]

Team is fine. Lati is a solid enough defender, albeit not a fan of the lob sided CB structure. And if it works and we keep a clean sheet it’s justified.

Either way, just please be a 6 and two 8’s. Torp cannot play in a holding two and Rudoni is not a 10.

I know I’m a broken record on it….
Please can that translate to Sheaf holding (6) and Torp/Rudoni playing as 8’s. Genuinely think that suits all three of them the best.

 

[Evo1883]

We all want to win every week

 

[standupforcity]

I live 10 miles fr the ground and I can't get there thanks to tube and train cancellations. This country's transport infrastructure is shit!?!
