Slag off some players, its like therapy.Disappointing way to lose. Not much else to be said.
Ben sheet calf again… he’s got a real injury weakness there
Bad news, any hope of him pissing off this month is gone now.Ben sheet calf again… he’s got a real injury weakness there
And Thomas-Asante isn't even real, he's a fever dream.At some point the missus is gonna wake me up and tell me it was all a daft dream. Robins and Viveash didn’t fall out, Lawrence laughed away Minnesota, King was happy to leave things as it were and this season hasn’t even started yet. She’s probably fucking drugged me again.
Agreed about the fan noise.I have nothing to add to what's already been said about the performance and the match (apart from: I never ever want to see BTA playing for this club again ), but just as a quick point: The atmosphere in the away end was fucking awful at even at 1-0, this is a demoralised and unconfident fanbase.

Lati was given the arm band. Not Bidwell.Don’t think we were great, don’t think we were terrible - Thought we played worse on NYD and got a result (albeit against a much inderuor
Neither side could have moaned at 1-1, it’s a lovely first goal but heads completely gone after
Squad is so devoid of leadership and a senior figure who would have dragged us over the line in that game by the scruff of the neck
So ambivalent towards the rest of the season, couldn’t care less if we got beat next week just want to get back to League action and make sure we stave off a dogfight
Lati is effectively vice captain which makes sense why he is starting but he makes elementary mistakes. Take the WBA goal or his mistakes v Cardiff and Plymouth that didn’t lead to goals but that’s not the point.Imagine we just used that back 5 all season. Seems so obvious but neither manager seems/seemed to want to do it. Must be something in the water in the training ground that's making them do weird shit.
Bassette was fucking garbage today, don't get me wrong, but whereas he has shown brief moments of quality and potential the only thing BTA has demonstrated is that he isn't good enough. He's missed two golden,.game-changing chances in two games and we are within our rights to demand better even from our fringe players.Agreed about the fan noise.
Strongly disagree on BTA. It was a bad miss but all striker make those misses including golden boy Bassette. BTA did a lot more today than Bassette who contributed absolutely nothing on the ball. Misplaced passes, outmuscled and ran into dead ends, you really have to question the logic of starting him after Simms played well v Cardiff.
Take today’s strategy, we were getting forward in the first half and trying to put the ball in the box… start Simms. You go 1-0 and having an energetic striker like Bassette to finish the game against lethargic defenders at a time where the midfield and BTA is flagging actually makes sense. It actually helps Bassette’s development.
Honestly I think if Robins was smart enough to go with the back 4 from last season, plus Dovin, he'd still be in a job. Sometimes the answer is the most obvious thing.Lati is effectively vice captain which makes sense why he is starting but he makes elementary mistakes. Take the WBA goal or his mistakes v Cardiff and Plymouth that didn’t lead to goals but that’s not the point.
With Lampard, he definitely came in and kept the status quo but after seeing Kitching play well today, he really ought to start the next match. Just as he started Collins and wised up to start Dovin, the same will happen with Kitching and I’ve said this all season.
There’s a reason that we as a team concede a lot more goals and keep less clean sheets with Lati and Binks in the team v Kitching and Thomas.

If they were it says a lot about their true feelings toward the club.Regardless of it being a lost cause or even a foul for that matter, any other team would be surrounding the ref protesting furiously. If I were the gaffer I'd be looking at the players having the craic with the Norwich players after the whistle and banishing them from 1st team contention until they got their attitude in gear.
100% agree that too much is being expected of Bassette too soon. I would have played Simms from the start today, especially since the plan seemed to be to launch long balls forwardBTA has scored more goals than Bassette in less minutes.
Bassette hasn’t played in the games he’s played. Got an assist v Spurs, goal v Pompey and Sheff U but hasn’t really offered much outside of that.
He’s being mismanaged by being thrown into the mixer and he’s just not the main guy yet.
In theory but he did fuck all when he came on. Didn't even trouble their defenders for headers100% agree that too much is being expected of Bassette too soon. I would have played Simms from the start today, especially since the plan seemed to be to launch long balls forward

He was awful. Exemplified by a needless challenge in a dangerous area for which he received a bookingIf they were it says a lot about their true feelings toward the club.
From being a admirer of the young footballer Eccles I have moved to thinking we should not of given him a contract. I can't think of anything positive to say about what he offers these days. Gets booked a lot , gives the ball away a lot doesn't tackle anymore.
I agree, he altered what was mostly a successful formula from last season.Honestly I think if Robins was smart enough to go with the back 4 from last season, plus Dovin, he'd still be in a job. Sometimes the answer is the most obvious thing.
Dunno what to say about the midfield. Captain fantastic injured again and Eccles was wank.
I said this at the end. I hope he uses this chance to keep Kitching in the back 4 and drop Lati. That was incredibly naive of him at the end there to try and pull the foul. Stick it in the stands.Lati is effectively vice captain which makes sense why he is starting but he makes elementary mistakes.

Why?I agree, he altered what was mostly a successful formula from last season.
For those calling for Sheaf to be shipped off, today was a little warning shot to ‘be careful what you wish for’.
He contributed nothing today but he is a body we need to replace.I agree, he altered what was mostly a successful formula from last season.

Thought kitching did well to be fairI said this at the end. I hope he uses this chance to keep Kitching in the back 4 and drop Lati. That was incredibly naive of him at the end there to try and pull the foul. Stick it in the stands.
Agreed. At the start of the season, we had 2 clean sheets with Thomas and Kitching. He then began tinkering with the team. I couldn't understand why he never went back to that combo. I hope we do now, at least until there are other options.Thought kitching did well to be fair
Would like to see tavares given some minutes today at some point
He's doing nothing this season poor again todY hopefully get a loan in January that will take a risk and pass the ball forwardLampard said he's out for a while now
BTA has 1 goal in 24 league games at a rate of a goal every 926 minutes
Bassette has 2 goals in 16 league games at a goal every 391 minutes.
Neither should be anywhere near the first 11.
Add to that Simms has 2 in 22 league games at a rate of 483 minutes
None of them are scoring or contributing to the standard you would expect of a competent championship level striker.
Exactly. Momentum was clearly with them.Although they scored in stoppage time, it always seemed that if they scored one they would go onto win.
