Yeah, be great if Esse could come on again.
12 players would be a real bonus.
We’ve tightened up the middle but committing the full backs so far forward still - so absolutely acres of space down the flanks on the transition.
I get wanting to play direct but it's direct yet directionless so far, what are we trying to do? Why in their half is everybody so far apart?
I think we'd have been a bit annoyed, but probably not. He was definitely looking for it.
He looked like an outstanding buy at the price when he was available, and I was disappointed we didn't seem to pursue it. Strength and (at least at this level) technically better than most centre forwards.
Simms really is an enigma. Scores goals but his touch is awful, never wins a header against centre halves and looks about as menacing as Bambi. We need a better outlet than him.

Cant believe you’re questioning Lampard TBH. What are your credentials?
I know people will call it bedwetting and negative etc, but if we continue to play like this, then we will not be going up top 2. This has dropping into the play offs and losing in the semis with no confidence written all over it. This is so so poor from a team top of the league.
Given the choice I would play Esse on the left and Esse on the right.
Grimes naturally slows the plays, the useless left back just passes it backwards every time, recruitment has been a disaster bringing in players we don’t need and not filling the places we do
It’s another performance to ask questions unfortunately, as we haven’t been fluid , or made any chances .
Esse’s flicks are driving me mad & Lampard please tell him to just do the basics & not lose the ball !

I'm not interviewing him am I you clown
Its not like the players have forgotten how to play football. Its the same team that have us at the top. We just seem a bit flat and need something ignite a spark. I still think we will nick this
Such a laboured performance yet again. For quite some time now it’s like the whole team is so tired, lacking any motivation, ideas and a cutting edge. The pressure of being top of the league appears to be weighing so heavily on the team. Why can’t they just enjoy themselves and play with freedom and fluidity like they did before?
I think it might’ve been.
At first thought he just ran into grimes but grimes does look like he moves into him.
Either way it’s close and have definitely seen them given.
It's glaringly obvious to the eye isn't it
Send the ball up to Simms, who is showing no control and there is no-one to link up with him.
At the moment, I would be thrilled with a point.
It was a pen. Nick just doesn’t like admitting the ref isn’t against us
No grimes pulls his leg away and he dives expecting contact. He was already diving
You do know it's still the same gap to 3rd as before kickoff?
Preston have forgotten their crap form, have turned up at Portman Road and are giving Ipswich a game so far.

Midfield need to move more , far too static somewhat hiding really , 2 options go long or sidewards , we have to be quicker and we have to move more
It's good that QPR have got nine out injured because we might have struggled against their first XI.
Unfortunately, we really aren’t at the moment.
We’re devoid of confidence again today so far. Simms is on an island and although we’ve seen glimpses of decent build up play, we were pretty toothless in the 1st half. As has already been mentioned, Frank needs to sort them out, both tactically and psychologically.
