I do feel for Lampard as he is clearly stressed out and he is working with scraps for squad depth all week.

The fact is that King fucked up the summer transfer window, we have got ourselves in a great position, and unless he pulls his finger out his arse he is going to let our best chance at getting promoted ever slip away.

This is not good enough. We need a serious January window because otherwise the wheels are going to come off.

 

[Johnnythespider]

If you need to score 3 to get a point you're going to struggle

 

[Johnnythespider]

Over to you Doug

 

[mark82]

Honestly, heads have gone. Blowing our big chance here. Doug needs to bring in reinforcements quickly.

 

[DT-R]

Im fucking done! Im fucking done with this season! Genuinely dont see how the fuck we're fucking up that first half of the season. Absolute bunch of fucking bottle jobs the lot of them!

Losing that in that manner to such an average team is unforgivable.

 

[SIR ERNIE]

Created more than enough to win that.
Stonewall penalty ignored.
Shaky at the back cost us.

 

[Evo1883]

We are completely done. We’ll be lucky to make the play-offs.

A bit premature , squad will be stronger by the next league fixture hopefully . And the players will have had a semi decent rest between a cup gane

 

[quinn1971]

Steady on lads, we know we need to bring some help in, we will,, don’t need a meltdown

Tight knit squad, tight knit roll neck

That is not the ref that is all thomas what was he thinking ffs!!!

Selfish act. Not thinking of the team at all.

 

[covcity4life]

Dissapointing as I felt we deserved a draw. Some truly sloppy goals but I thought our overall play was good. Rushworth didn't make the saves today. It happens.

Gutted rudoni and emc in particular end up on losing team.

But goals conceded aside I thought we were better team and should have had a pen.

No guarantees team take advantage of this loss. So let's wait and see

No panic from me still. We are not playing badly imo

Get a week's rest in and I think we return to winning ways Vs Leicester and maybe even Stoke before that depending on selection.

PUSB

 

[fernandopartridge]

Not good enough all round. Too many players just not at it. Defensively an utter shambles.

Even when we went 3-2 down it was mostly the same one paced ponderous passing.

 

[Jamesimus]

at what point are we allowed to express concern without being called a bedwetter?

I’ll allow it from today, new year, new me!

 

[Osullivan18]

Question, who wouldn't have took our position now at the start of the season? Especially after the Hull game?

 

[Adge]

We didn’t really look like getting back in it once they got the 3rd. Criminal by Thomas who is now missing for 3 games

Bye then

 

[David O'Day]

Defensive brain farts a worry but we really should have got more from that

Oh well, reserves against Stoke so a nice rest and hopefully a few reinforcements

I'll leave you to go massively over the top

 

[Tea & Busquets]

Okay, over, out

 

[shmmeee]

Time for people like Grimes and Kitching to step up in the dressing room this.

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Fact is most were blinded on our summer window as he announced the stadium didn't he with a week to go and there were posters saying "he doesn't need to make another signing now for me, thats enough"

He bought the stadium, knowing it makes us more desirable as a package so there was no risk there.

He has been very conservative on paying transfer fees, hes trying to get us promoted on the cheap. We are at real risk of blowing it now.

 

[steve101]

Lost to a poor side who seemed to fight harder than we did. Poor discipline defensively lost us the game. Really let down by this part of the team.

 

[Sky_Blue_Dreamer]

Awful at the back today.

What was most annoying was second half we came out, got at them and they looked rattled. We scored and rather than carryon doing that we dropped off and let another goal in immediately. just nowhere near good enough.

Also Thomas being an idiot. Even if we're looking like losing why give the ref the excuse to send you off and for you to miss the next two league games.

We need reinforcements. Even our best players look knackered. We can't play any of the first team in the cup - we have to rest them.

Rudoni was terrible?

 

[skyblu3sk]

No idea when we are actually going to get a penalty again at this point. Frustrating match deserved a draw minimum. Defence all over the place again which seems to happen when we switch up personale.

 

[LilleSkyBlue]

Mason-Clark wrestled to the ground near the end in the penalty area? Iwata was pulling him over all game.

It was obvious in the summer we'd fucked it up but because we had a storming start with a fresh squad people wouldn't have it.

 

[Marty]

Send the players away for a week and get them back and fit raring to go a week Monday, if any first teamer plays against Stoke, I don't want to hear a fucking word from Lampard about having a small squad.

 

[Jamesimus]

They earn plenty of money and turn up when they say will (although they always tell you how they’re the busiest people on the planet) unlike all of the other trades that can’t organise anything other than them drinking as earlier as possible in the day.

This is true. And when we are late the reason isn’t usually because we were in the pub until closing time like painters, brickies etc.

 

[SlovakSkyBlue]

My 6 week old can defend better than da Silva.

Going to be the worse bottle in the championship history at this rate.

 

[DT-R]

Steady on lads, we know we need to bring some help in, we will,, don’t need a meltdown

I just dont see it being enough. We were probably 2 or 3 short in the summer, so what realistically should.be 2 or 3 now, is maybe 5 or 6 needed. I dont see how we're bring in 5 or 6 players good enough to turn this round?
Were a LB, CM, LW, RW, ST short minimum. Possibly even a 10. 6 short. Not a chance are we bringing in that many in this window. 2 to 3 at most.

Get the fucking wallet out no excuses minimum 2 through the door next week

 

[MacReady]

If some BlueNose c*nt comes on here and says Blues fan in peace I will lose my shit.

 

[Nick]

Lampard needs to call the refs out live on ITV as well.
