Today was karma for the cruel defeat at Norwich... things always balance out over a season :)

Collins ahead of Wilson on the bench is an interesting call...

Great to see EMC on bench

Same here. He is developing into a real asset for us. Never doubted his ability, just his desire, but he clearly has that now and he is one of a number of players who deserve a lot of praise for raising their game.

How long is Sheaf out for? Is it possible he might leave this window?

Know he is versatile, but what position has he played most regularly in his career?

Am more amused than horrified by the prospect of him joining... I would say more of a Sean Mcguire punt than Waghorn!

Loan till end of season? It will probably take till then to get him fit enough!

Might be wrong, but didn't he turn down the chance to manage us at one point?

Spot on, sadly. As I am probably older than you, I remember when they had a particularly violent team under Dave Bassett too (they had some notorious players, Billy Whitehurst and Vinnie Jones spring to mind...and of course, a certain Chris Wilder played for them then...)

Love the way this forum descends into a bitch fight even in a thread about a game we won :)

Where did you get this info from?

Let's just hope he has learned from that. FWIW I am more positive about Lampard than most, I think he will make more good decisions than bad in the long term. He will work hard for us, it's in his nature.

Agree - the other thing is Lampard needs to be a shithouse and make a prolonged sub as soon as they get their first / get Dovin to go down with an injury. That actually made me more angry than anything on Saturday evening reflecting on the match. Other teams do it, we are too nice.

Would be more worried about Sheaf going than MVE TBH. That's despite our current lack of genuine options at RB.

TBF (with the exception of Lampard's first win) Sheaf has looked unhappy this season. I think if someone offers £10m he will be off. I might be completely wrong, but he has had the air of someone sulking over not getting a move in the summer. However, I think he has been a really good player...

Want it to be May? Definitely, as I am a charity fundraiser for RSPB and the 'feels like' temperature will be -7 when I start work today... whereas I will be on holiday in sunny Portugal in May :) On a football note, I do know what you mean - we will get the odd win and draw, enough to stay up...

Damning stats those. Lampard mentioned about a lack of aggression v Portsmouth (who battered Swansea 4-0 yesterday BTW). With EMC and Wright coming back soon(ish) we are crying out for a midfielder who is prepared to fight and can pick a pass through the lines (and actually get the ball to...

We need a good transfer window... to avoid having to look over our shoulders at a relegation scrap.

Bench not that inspiring, glad transfer window is open now... TBF at least we are not just chucking kids on the bench to make up in the numbers, which we have done in the recent past...
