Wilson 8 - did well after a long stint out. Couple of crucial saves and distribution was pretty good too. MVE 8 - back to what we know he can do. Thomas 7 - look better with him at the back Kitching 7 - Solid Bidwell 7 - solid Grimes 7.5 - solid Sheaf 8 - form improving at the right time...

Spray the snorting surfaces with WD40.

Dovin 6 MVE 7.5 - another great performance Thomas 8 - marked up for goal Kitching 7.5 - marked up for not only anticipating what the opposition will do, but also for anticipating what Da Silva will/wont do! Da Silva 6.5 - despite my comment above, the best I’ve seen him play for a long time...

When the rumours started about Lampard, I was very unsure. The more it dragged on before he accepted, the more research I did - and although I had warmed to his appointment when he joined I was still a bit concerned that it may have been Dougs ego driving it. A really knowledgeable and driven...

Dovin 7 - solid MVE 7 - thought he was much better today Thomas 8 - another goal Kitching 6 - couple of slack passes, particularly one towards the end of the game. Bidwell 6 - did enough Grimes 8 - looked like he was playing in slippers. Assured, comfortable, keeps us ticking over really...

Agree, much improved when compared to some of the performances in the season. One of the through balls to EMC was top drawer.

Bang on the money. Lost the ball a couple of times which allowed Preston to get further up the pitch. Credit that he did track back, but I’m sure he’ll be making more defensive contributions when fully up to speed. I think he’ll prove to be a shrewd signing.

Totally agree fella. Im Still loving it at 48! lly

Cracking bloke too.

Moldovan. The transfer seemed a bit fishy at the time. Jarni, big name and rep - never kicked a ball for us. Lazy shit! In truth, he’d have been amazing for us. Such a shame we were alleged to Be the facilitator for a move to Madrid.

Had to google that. Legit. What a gem of of information. Made me chuckle. Could be off to Iran for some reason.

Remember that game well, I was in the gents having a piss when he scored.

One thing I’ve noticed, Lampard is talking to the 4th official during the game far more than Robins ever did. I know Adi was happy to express his opinions - but Robins, for too passive in that respect.

For me, part of sport is human error. Whether it be a goalkeeper misjudging a cross, a player missing a penalty, a linesman missing an offside, etc. VAR removes that and turns it in to a clinical process for the sake of money to enrich premier league clubs. It’s shite. RIP it out. Let fans...

Goes about his business very simply, efficiently and calmly. Still has a lot to offer, but I hope we’re already looking at replacements for when he become less effective (be that a season or two away), as I’m not sure sheaf is the answer.
