Still 8pts clear of 3rd, didnt deserve anything tonight, didnt expect anything tonight if anything expected and was prepared for that so Im not even pissed off and can see the humour in it. At the end of the day Ipswich also lost, and we have to play Boro so that’ll be make or break and is a must win
Could and should have got something they were poor

Tonight was our first choice back 4 and has been all season, ridiculous comment.
Christ its not the back 4..its whats in front.
.we have best keeper in the league yet we are outnunbered time an d again every game on counter attack. Its beyond a joke...

Formatiin is suicide.

Lets carry on with this and we wont make play off even. Its awfull defensively.

Norwich were the better side all night.
We are so open and inviting teams to score against us it is ridiculous. It was apparent to some of us when we were winning every week and some of our fans thought the league was won on November

Frank needs to come up with a bit of versatility, especially away from home. Draws will do us away.
Nah

Getting away with a ridiculous formation at home. Getting smashed with it away. It has to change. We can’t keep playing without a midfield or full backs. Quick one for Procdoc. Still happy with your ridiculous Torp v Sheaf nonsense?? Good technically but constantly looks like he’s wading through quicksand.

well that was shit....standards were set very high early in the season, but they've really slipped recently
I think it's because Lampard set us up to play with huge intensity early on in the season. Don't know if that's because he's used to the PL and their fitness levels but it basically seems like we've run the batteries down too early and now everyone has that little bit more in the tank than us. I think Grimes is the perfect example. He's not suddenly become a terrible player. He's a good player that's had to put in way too much and now his body can't do the things he wants or could do before without a serious rest period.

Basically it's like an F1 driver flying off into a massive lead at the start then halfway through realising the brakes are overheating and he's in danger of running out of fuel. So now he's having to nurse the car home while those behind him are catching up quickly and the last few laps he's going to be massively under pressure with a car that's close to breaking.

Having said that, today was Norwich so I'm not that surprised at the outcome. But the performances pretty much since Xmas have been poor and that is worrying. I thought playing BTA and such an attacking line up was either a brave or foolhardy move - turned out to be foolhardy. We can't be that open, especially away from home.

We need reinforcements to give the squad more energy and to add a bit of defensive backbone. I really hope Onyeka is a goer because I think it's the type of player that would make a difference. If we don't sign reinforcements I do fear we may let this huge chance slip through our fingers and I'm not sure I could take that level of disappointment.

Shmmeee doesnt want Onyeka as he's a Premier league failure but wants Matty James. He talks nonsense.

He's not saying he want Matty James though as well you know.
By all means call him out for the things he says but no need to make stuff up

We need someone to do what Matty James did after our defeat away at QPR that season, and we need it desperately, that doesn't mean we need Matty James.

Now we have everyone back fit, Lampard and his crew need to sit them all in the club cine and watch some reruns of what was working so well for us. We were playing as a solid team in a reliable formation. We’ve now become this chaotic rabble of individuals, many trying to do too much on the ball, some trying impossible killer passes, others getting lost in physical off the ball nonsense.
Play it simple again, string some passes together.
