What stuns me about Kitching is, this information wasn't difficult to find before we signed him. Plenty of Barnsley supporters seemed to say him and brother think and act like they are local hard men. The warning signs were there.

Think this was the lad we apparently bid for close to deadline day...

One thing I noticed from Lampard's interviews when he first joined he seems quite pally with Thomas Frank. Wonder whether we might see one or two from Brentford come in.

Suspect Collins will be picking the ball out of his net at least twice again.

In fairness it's one of his plus points - he actually does take responsibility generally. In my opinion he is the most limited in many ways of our centre backs but at least is committed and aggressive. He shows a degree of leadership. He is the one I dislike the least.

That is classed as an ok performance yet we still gifted them a goal, showed no courage on the ball and repeatedly hesitated on the ball. We're just so weak all over the pitch. I've said repeatedly you can't trust one of them. An awful quality in a footballer. I really can't stand some of them.

A fair summary. All this has been known for about three transfer windows. The recruitment has been shocking. Need to start getting a few character checks done. Not one backbone between them.

Our centre backs are simply incapable of concentrating. Angers so much how shocking the recruitment in that part of the pitch has been. Sheaf and Eccles were both absolutely shite tonight as well. You probably get that performance from Eccles 3 times out of 4.

Lost me at... Weaknesses - Concentration.

100%. Defence needs major surgery. Backbone, leadership and some evidence of an ability to concentrate needed urgently.

Missed Ancelotti from this list!!

Saw this on twitter before... When will the penny drop with him. You could show me the transcript of this interview and I could tell you whose words they were. I suspect we might see some Fabrizio Romano tweets in Jan about all the top clubs who are interested in him.

Thomas I almost feel could do with a loan move. He's simply not good enough for us at the minute. With the ball I think he could improve and I can see why we signed him but my main concern with him is he seems incapable of concentrating for 90mins. Every single game he switches off. Not sure...

I'm not sure we have ever kept a clean sheet when he has started. I genuinely don't think we have.

Bar Van Ewijk I don't rate one of our defenders in the slightest. Playing Dasilva is like giving the opposition a one goal advantage. He literally should not play for the club again. Collins the same. Thomas is also so poor. He can head a ball and that is it - can't pass or concentrate for...

Think the announcer called him McCullum as well. The final insult.

The Manc journo was also reporting similar but then has deleted his tweet...

That Manc journo update

Always felt with this that Lampard actually wants the job. Van Nistelrooy probably through that journo has tried to play us. Fair play to Doug if he's fucked him off. Probably why that journo is making out it was all on Van Nistelrooy's terms. Suspect even if appointed he'd have been keeping his...

Particularly like how the journo has picked a photo where Lampard looks like he's about to cry.
