We're in the game. Didn't think I'd be saying that after 15 mins. Grimes needs to step up. Rudoni either needs to come off or sort his head out. Time to earn you money, Frank.

We just need some real turn of luck to get us out of this. Every bounce, every decision going against us. Just let us have a couple flukey own goals or whatever, just something to give us the boost as doesn't look like players are going to manage it themselves.

I don’t even think we’ve attacked badly. We’ve made openings and had half chances.

But the defending - especially our transition defence - has been genuinely embarrassing. Carved open on multiple occasions, Leicester players finding space in our own penalty area is unforgivable and it’s happened 4 or 5 times.

They want this more than us.

All bite has gone from us. Feels like the kind of thing you find out years later Ellis Simms fucked everyone’s missus.

Christ, that was an awful half. Our midfield looks non existent, our defence looks weaker than cheap toilet paper. We've got problems and at the moment, we're not looking like we can find any answers.

It's like they've forgotten everything they were doing well. I guess some of that is down to teams having a better idea of how to play us, but it also seems like we need to take ten touches every time the other side needs one or two.

We were great first half of the season, but it is clear now we have been worked out tactically. Lampard needs to change because we can kiss autos goodbye.

We are too passive and weak where it counts. I would bring Eccles on as a minimum. BTA if we can as well.

Another game I am finding very frustrating because we don't seem up for it. Mentality seems well off.

Hopefully we can nick a goal and that can kick us up the arse to turn it around.

Our midfield is absolutely terrible. Can't control the ball enough to just put pure pressure on opposition and then completely non existent when getting attacked!! Grimes and torp need to get there shit together!! Hate this press we have developed aswell with the fw and am just sitting there ready to get passed round

Grimes has been absolutely awful.
He's too deep, too often recently. Torp has got acres to cover alone, that's why we look better with Eccles in 10 than Rudoni, because Eccles is helping out in central midfield and the whole formation links together better. Esse is compounding the issue by playing so high, which looks to be his natural game. Dangerous when he gets the ball but we're playing 5-1-1-3 at times, 2-3-5 at others.

Grimes and the fullbacks need to be way more in sync about who is pushing forward, and when.
