Personally, I disagree and that argument has been done over and you’re right in saying it’s his record here that’s important… … my question is, can we all agree he was the best candidate for the job? RvN, Eustace and Bloomfield have massively struggled in their appointments since Lampard joined.

Only a crazy person would put money on that! 😂 I was quite happy with the result because Millwall’s GD was the same as our going into the game.

The statistics have Rudoni as outperforming Sakamoto too. Repeating the narrative that Sakamoto is our best RW doesn’t make it true unfortunately. https://fbref.com/en/players/4d395e2b/scout/365_m2/Jack-Rudoni-Scouting-Report

Even if that’s the case, is he starting ahead of Sakamoto or EMC? After all, your first line was ‘Sakamoto is so important for us’. Personally, I don’t think BTA was ever going to leave in January without a sufficient striker option coming in. The way Lampard has is set up, he wants direct and...

You wouldn’t know for sure because Haji and EMC have barely had a game there. I’m pretty sure Rudoni has more assists crossing from the right wing (open play) than Sakamoto. The last example being Watford at home. Players roles change all the time, look at Jamie Allen, he had rarely been asked...

Right now? Bidwell Sakamoto I’d have included Bassette a few weeks ago but the public opinion on him has changed quite a lot.

Just out of curiosity, why do you think we wanted to sign Matondo in the transfer window just gone? Lampard wants 2 speedy box crashers as you put them. In fact, it’s a job that Sakamoto has been asked to do. My view is that a lot of people’s perceptions of Sakamoto haven’t really moved past...

We’ll wait and see but Simms has done well in recent games offers something different to what we have. I could see Wright and EMC getting in each other’s way a bit because they both like to cut in onto their right foot. Again, Sakamoto’s performances just don’t warrant him being an automatic...

What have you done with the real @shmmeee? That’s far too level-headed.

So because that’s what Peterborough fans said, it must be try and always will be. I’m sure if you asked Barnet fans the same question, they’d say he was a fine RW. It’s true that he played his best football playing LW for Peterborough. Different club, different manager and different tactical...

I actually think Sakamoto would make a good LW his cross for Rudoni’s goal v Sunderland was a cracking cross. He’s a good crosses of the ball when he gets on his left foot, which he’s demonstrated many times, hos assist for EMC’s goal v Cardiff being another deft example. Despite that, he’s...

Nope. As a team we’re a lot more aggressive in our build up play under Lampard. It’s like QPR’s LW yesterday who was right footed, used a lot of footwork, nearly made MVE look silly a few times but the output in terms of shots and crosses was lacking. It didn’t matter how much he danced over...

I said this last season, there was the possibility that his run of form was just a flash in the pan. When a player has a ridiculously high shot conversion rate and a lot higher xG than their output (on single digit goals), it’s typically an anomaly. EMC as soon as he came on, was sprinting...

Combined, I don’t think Haji and EMC have 90m between them at RW. Let alone under Lampard. Thats not an informed decision. Ironically, Rudoni has probably had more game time at RW than EMC this season… 😂 Why you wouldn’t at least try that trio for a few games is beyond me. Lampard will almost...

EMCs stats is for 2024-25 Championship only. FBRef only provides a summary for L1 and below as far as I can tell. Whereas Sakamoto’s stats are from 23/24 also, which skews the numbers in Sakamoto’s favour because he had a better 23/24 than 24/25. I like Sakamoto as a player, he’s a solid...

The stats just don’t back that up at all. In reality, he struggled to take players on. Compare EMC to Sakamoto below: Sakamoto - Tatsuhiro Sakamoto Scouting Report for Last 365 Days Men's Next 14 Competitions | FBref.com EMC - Ephron Mason-Clark Scouting Report for Last 365 Days Men's Next 14...

You’re right, but their form has tailed off a bit. After last night it’s 3 losses in 5 and they have -6 goal difference On form, Millwall and our old mates PNE are doing well atm and we have next at home. They’re probably the outside bets atm.

From February onwards we struggled to win games in the league outside of the bottom half teams. We were in the playoffs before Norwich away and we fell off after losing to them, WBA and PNE in quick succession. Every ‘6 pointer’ we played in 2024, we lost. At the time, many people were...

Either player would be better than Sakamoto. I don’t really understand why he’s still that highly regarded. Good rotation option and important role player. He isn’t a key player.

A front 4 of EMC, Wright, Simms and Rudoni… who’s stopping us finishing in the playoffs?
