As bad as that was, and no matter how worrying our form is, no point anyone crying about. We go again, regroup and start afresh next week. This group of players got us here, so we have to back them to turn things round. Have we been found out? It appears so, so work for the management team to do, but not throwing in the towel. Season starts next week, everyone connected with club should get their chins up - it's not over.

Not it’s not. In the last two months this team has been poor. We’re allowed to say it and to claim promotion ain’t happening.

We will beat Oxford I think but people thinking we will beat Middlesbrough are just going off the home form and that we always beat Middlesbrough in recent years.
On current form boro hammer us and it's not even close.

Personally, I don't think King should have blocked the signing of Bamford either.

I’ve just had the same conversation about knock on impact it could have. Whilst I’d like to keep positive, I can’t at current woods and trees comes to mind - just foooking turgid football at the moment. It’s like we’ve flipped season, start well and finished shit rather than start shit and finish well!
it 100% is this, we’ve done a reverse Mark Robins…
at least on the bright side it will probably also royally fuck Lampard if we don’t go up - he needs this to wipe what has gone before, and not have another pretty monster failure on his CV

To be fair we’ve never been in this position before I guess.
Yeah I think he will struggle after this. Look at Gerrard.

Shit again. Said it before but we'll slip into second and people will shut down any complaints with shit like 'we'd have taken this at the start of the season' and 'still autos' before we slip into the playoffs by the end of the season and get knocked out in the semis.
You can see it coming a mile off.
Need at least one statement signing before the window closes and Lampard to do his fucking job.
A month ago we were about to play Ipswich, 8 points clear at the top and a win against them potentially taking us 16 points clear of 3rd. Now we're only top on goal difference and Hull in 3rd are only 5 points behind with a game in hand.

Exactly were shit away but our home form is brilliant, just keep going, absolute head loss by some on here

I do not see this team getting a win against Middlesbrough

To be fair, if we beat Boro, that's the likely scenario. We are a different animal at home.

Definitely catastrophising, if that is a word. We might still make top 2, we might still win the PO's. Stranger things have happened-like blowing a 13 point lead!

Can’t believe what I’m reading. Classic knee jerk bollocks. Top of the league going into February. Home form fine. Away form needs a tweak. We’re never steamrolling this quagmire of a league. Chill out.

Oxford first. Win that and Boro will be like a cup final
We gotta pick pick up sooner or later

Bobby Thomas sums this team up for me; ridiculously arrogant, even while he continues to make basic mistakes, and strolls about acting too cool for school. Then the obligatory booking for a stupid off the ball foul.
He’s thick as mince and not as good as he thinks he is.

Do they allow you to cross the road alone, by the way?

It's obviously poor at the moment, but you announce "season over" multiple times a season.
I remember you saying the same when we lost to Sheffield United and then still went on to make the play offs

Or... it's what the full backs are told to do... and that's on Lampard.

This is what I'm hoping also.
This current backline and midfield setup for whatever reason is no longer effective, time to try something else.
As good as Eccles has been in a more advanced role, I'd drop him deeper and have Torp and Rudi ahead.
I think he'd offer a bit more physically than Torp or Allen could in that role.

that's what can't be ignored, so much thrown away. Frank and the coaches need to shake things up between now and Oxford. Have to accept the way we set up and approach games is a huge part of the issue, not just individual errors.

This is coping mechanism if you think our home form alone will get us promoted

100%, I agree with that aspect. But it doesn’t change the bin fire behind him.

The manager is there to sort these issues though
