I would like to think we will eventually learn, because last night wasn't exactly a one off. It was like Birmingham all over again.

Yes, without a doubt. Esse is not a winger. I wouldn't play this formation away from home. 5 at the back.

I would. Esse is a luxury we can’t afford away from home. Saka is miles above defensively.

and Wrexham. Birmingham, Wrexham and Norwich all looked hungrier and more committed than us

This is getting a bit tiresome. It’s been two months of people saying “it’s not good enough” and the same faces replying “it’s only one game calm down”.

We were on to beat Southampton until JDS committed suicide. Charlton got lucky and we should have beaten them. Only Ipswich were better when we played at home, and even then it took them until 72 minutes to score. The scoreline away to Ipswich didnt truly reflect the performance. Still, we have only lost 5 all season

Furious that he took it, it was a ball for a left footer to take
MVE was having a go at him multiple times asking for more support.
You could see him saying ‘I can’t do it, I can’t take two’, as he was constantly getting overrun.
EMC gave Dasilva zero help as well.

A couple of seasons ago, Jamie Allen was hospitalised after a Sheff W player planted his elbow into his jaw in the Cup Replay and the FA were not interested in any respective action - On that precedent I would actually be surprised to see any retrospective action taken but we all know the FA enforce their rules as and when they please them, so what happens is anyone's guess

Honestly I'd take another 9 points right now from our last 8. Would mean we need 20 or so points from 9 home matches.

The difference is that incident was seen by the referee, they awarded a freekick but wrongly didn't give a card of any colour. The BTA was missed by both the ref and the linesman, so retrospective action can be taken.

JDS trying to clear with his left foot is just pathetic in that situation. Also annoying but not really his fault that Bobby Thomas deflected their second in, I think Rushworth would have saved it otherwise.

Yeah the second was a poor shot
Dasilva is back to the Dasilva from last season - shite

Yeah I'm still confused why he did that and not just put it out the ground with his right foot which he could easily have done. It was him trying to use his left that put it in.

He’s horrendously one footed and his default is always to try and move onto his left - when he’s forced not to he generally is awful at using it

Still not calmed down after last nights shocking performance. Still angry at the players lack of heart and fight. Still angry with lampards gun-ho attitude away from home and his dogshit after game interviews. It surely isn't that hard to get the wingers to come back and get the midfielders to create a 5 to be more compact?? We have the pace to play on a counter when required!! This is weeks and weeks of the same shite it aint getting the bed this is facing reality ffs
So I'm saying it's happened a few times unnecessarily this season. Is that OK with you?
Nice to see you've suddenly remembered who our left back is though, funny how you haven't mentioned his name for months.
I think that summed up Thomas' night tbh. Wasn't moving well all night, slow in getting back in on corners when they countered, think his first 50/50 he tried to be clever and they nearly scored from it. Really predictable in his passing, Kitching on the other hand, overdid the diags, and then because his build up was slow, wasn't finding the passes in between the midfield lines to BTA. Just really poor from those two last night, when in the main have been steady enough all season.

Er I mentioned him last game
Millwall Ratings
Should give some credit to Millwall and Leicester I do. Leicester first half moved the ball and found space as well as Ipswich and Millwall looked a good side. I don't know the answer, just know there's an issue.

I know you are the founder member of the JDS preservation society but he’s a defensive car crash waiting to happen every single week. He’s never in a million years ever going to make the next level up anyway so we should have looked to addressed it.
He's been very good all season (until recently), but of course you never mention that.
He's been poor recently, but he's hardly alone there - Thomas and Kitching have been crap, even Grimes has been poor.
Nobody expects him to step up if we get promoted.

Could Esse play behind wright Rather then out wide , think he could be very effective there . To be fair he's done really well

It seems like a completely arbitrary distinction to make - either it’s serious foul play worthy of being punished in retrospect or not.
Thomas' was almost worse in a way because he tried to run around the ball and basically stepped over it in doing so!
I have vague memories of Kitching doing one as well but might have imagined that.
