Enjoying losing 3 1 at home to Ipswich. Weird.

To think we went out, with plenty of cash in the bank, and deliberately chose to assemble this collection of 'defenders' over 2 years. Mind boggling.

The Binks, BTA and Lati signings were especially awful. JDS pretty weird as well. Surely it wasn't that hard to see we needed an experienced central defender and basically 2 proper full backs who can defend.

Dark blue shirt on a dark blue background. Great photography that. Oooof

Id be very surprised if we don't see at least 3 or 4 changes for this. JDS, Eccles, Tats and probably Bassette. I wouldn't change Thomas, Kitching and Dovin they need as much time together as possible.

Collins, JDS, Binks, Lati, BTA seem obvious. Only needed one of Thomas or Kitching. Needed another experienced CB. More controversially I don't think Torp or Simms are good enough to take us forward. I would give Simms some more time though.

I don't think there's the money to get Lampard the quality he needs to build a serious promotion challenge next year. Sadly our windfall was largely wasted under the previous management. Hopefully he can have a clear out of MVE, Sheaf, BTA, Collins, JDS, Binks, Lati and bring in a couple with...

This game really showed how short of pace we are in midfield and defence. Leeds continually ran through us. Eccles and Sheaf haven't got any either. Maybe not the highest priority, but it's gotta be on Frank's list....

Yeah but the reality is we paid for quantity rather than quality. And some of that quantity wasn't cheap either.

It's stil annoying that we had a decent chunk of money and didn't buy anyone you could see having the quality to progress to being anything approaching a low level Premiership player. Probably Wright is the nearest but he probably lacks the toughness needed. MVE you're having a laugh.

Leeds won't bust a gut they can just cruise this one out in second gear.

True but you would hope a few of our players would show some quality, some desire to advance their careers to that level. Not just shit yer pants.

This is where our lack of any real quality is very obvious.

Putting someone in the starting 11, largely unfamiliar with other players, never played for us before, against Leeds is supposed to improve us immediately? Not at all sure about that. A couple of weeks and a couple of sub performances seems the sensible way forward. Especially given our recent...

Anyone with two eyes and brain knows Sheaf has played poorly this season. Slow, lacking aggression, poor at defensive cover, negative. Exactly what we don't need right now. We've undoubtedly been better off without him. Saying he has been carrying an injury, with no evidence, or he needs...

It would be a real shame to lose the potential EMC has shown recently. We don't want him to lose that mindset he clicked in to. I think Wright will need a slow rentroduction so hopefully EMC gets another good chance.

Grimes needs a couple of weeks to get used to the squad and acclimatise. Maybe play him last 20 mins or so if we need to do something. But don't rush to change a winning team.

You would be mad to change this winning team much. Grimes after a week or two, ok. Putting Sheaf in there as well. Absolutely not. It would slow us down massively and take out some of the aggression we've been showing.

Some bloke on the tinternet saying 'they look like a talented group to me' isn't really much evidence is it? We've played poorly for the vast majority of the year. Lampard seems to have done things Robins couldn't, like playing more aggressively more as a team. Partly due to playing the likes...

If the 'signings have been excellent' why have we been struggling at the wrong end of the table all year and had to sack a manager? A few wins and people lose their minds.
