The sooner we get those two in the line up and some big signings, It needs to be back to basics for Lampard. Back to 4-2-3-1 with solid back 4, perhaps Allen in midfield again ready to re-integrate Wright and EMC in the team. He needs to stick with one striker and that has to be Simms. At...

No, Parliamentary Labour Party which is shorthand for Labour MPs.

In isolation, you’re actually correct. However, how often does any sitting PMs approval recover from their peak after 1 year in office? It’s his personal popularity that should worry the PLP. On the Corbyn point, he was challenged for the leadership and the membership re-elected him. The PLP...

His popularity polling is pretty disastrous and it probably isn’t recoverable. If there’s no movement this year or next, there’ll be conversations. Then again, the PLP have never kicked out a sitting Labour PM before.

The electorate must be having some serious buyer’s remorse because things seem to somehow be getting slightly worse. It’s setback after setback for Keir Starmer and his top team, it’s snowballing. There was a pollster that reckons that of Reform gets a swing of 6%, they’d be the largest party...

Personally, I could see a scenario where Robins may have felt threatened to hire a hot shot number 2. Why he’d feel insecure I’m not so sure. Lampard will do well in the long term. In the grand scheme of things, it takes months to get a team fully ready to play your tactical way and he’s still...

I wonder if Labour MPs will move to oust Keir Starmer before the next election. It’s unbelievable that some polls having them losing their supermajority already and with government refusing to rule out more tax rises, they’re going to become more unpopular. Just anecdotal, I went to the panto...

He didn’t look disinterested, that’s a trope. We weren’t having much possession and nor generating any chances. He’s not a player who’s going to chase shadows all day like Bassette and BTA did. His whole career before joining us, he was a 1 in 3 striker. At Cov, he scores every 195m, he’s...

Both midfielders collapsed past the CBs where Kitching was closest to the balls. What do you mean by the Sheaf critiques? He wasn’t on the pitch if you meant him directly.

He’s good enough to be a sub striker which was his intended purpose. As was Bassette. Just start Simms for 10 games consecutively and see what he can do. It’s a travesty he hasn’t started consecutive games since September and he scored 19 goals last season!

Clearly not when he was top scorer for a team who made the playoffs last season.

Something different is needed for sure. I’m just shocked why it’s taken 26 games to start Kitching. Whilst things weren’t perfect last season, there were times we looked comfortable in defence and this season it’s gone to pot. The Lati and Binks experiment just haven’t really worked out. As for...

Bassette?

Do you do to away games? We have some morons supporting is already.

We were supposedly signing him after we’d already signed Binks so it wasn’t really a ‘that or this’ type of deal. Saddles source also said last year that if Binks stayed beyond Jan 2024 he’d sign in the summer and that was true. So it’s not likely it’s also true we had a choice between Binks or...

It’s been needlessly toxic in my view and there seems to be a briefing war against King with some of the ITK info conveniently released 5-6 months after it supposedly happened. Specifically, the Lewin saga and cost cutting measure hiring Carr, Boateng, Dempster and Delaney. Which does t pass a...

One game and he missed one chance. When Bassette missed absolute sitters v Swansea and Boro, no was saying he should never play for us again. BTA missed the sitter, played reasonably well aside that and it’s not his fault we conceded 2 goals to lose the game. You watch us against a team like...

He defends like a fullback. What I mean by that is that he defends as if the touchline to help him out when he’s playing CB and that is an issue in the box and that causes issues. Constantly misjudges situations, there’s been 3-4 examples since Boxing Day. He’s a lot more exposed at CB as...

It’s valuable information because the narrative from the fans is to say all the bad players we’ve signed were because of King/Austin. The manager obviously has a say on who they bring in even if that manager had taken a step back of the day-to-day recruitment process. Many fans just wanted to...

More than Godden whether you look at it in all competitions or just the league. Comparing all our strikers: Godden - scored in 7 games, 5 league games Simms - scored in 12 games, 9 league games Haji Wright scored in 15 games, 12 league games Not sure why you’d discount the FA Cup either...
