No Simms? Where are the goals here? Torp benched? Lati at the back? Apart from Dovin , I'm puzzled about the selection.

No one saying he should but his interviews are abismal to say the least. He should at least mention they are working on the frailties in defence and what we are trying to address. There was just nothing there.

Just listened to Lampard's press interview. Again what a mess. A word salad from a guy who has nothing to say. The interviewer was leading him along and he fell into it each time. He never once made reference to what they are doing to rectify the last performance, as if he were just filling in...

If you insist onlooking at players performances then one example is Sakamoto. What has happened to his exciting brand and style? I think I saw him take a man on once yesterday. Now that has to be coaching to blame. He is not a midfield player, far too lightweight. But, they have took his...

Anything by Taylor Sheridan is a must.

The match day forum thread and likewise here are full of player frailties and acusations. 'They are shite', 'can't defend', and the list goes on. It's a player attack and nothing else? The reality is we largely have the same players that took us to the FA Cup semi and showed us what was to come...

Definately got players of quality at this level. Let's not simply say they are shite. They are not. Many managers in the league say so too. As always it's the coaching ability that makes a team tick. What we are seeing is players unable to cope with anything once the first plan has gone out the...

One game does not decide a season but the signs are there since Doug came with his wholesome changes.

These are good players. The coaching has been off since it was changed early in the year. Robin's had problems with it and Vivash clearly had issues. You can see players are not sure of their roles. The Vivash/Robin's combination would have continued their good work and had us top six. Where did...

Lampard seems clueless to me. lacks direction and purpose. Use of players and tactics at loggerheads with each other. I still think my concerns are valid about Lampard.

DaSilva can't defend at this level, why Bidwell is not in there away from home is atrocious thinking. Collins gift. Bassette causing problems and got on the end of one but there is no composure from him. It's so wasteful. We are not holding the ball up and badly need Simms on. Bassette and...

All of these early games are a test for lampard's set up and his ability as a coach. Pompey can be energized at home so we need to stand firm, be strong in the tackle and win the second ball. Maintain possesion and just attack them from the start. They will crumble if we get an early goal. Let...

Grendel having another wobbly. You dug yourself a whole mate, own it.

Still not convinced with Frank at the helm. These are good players yet we are not getting the best out of them.

Again undone by bad team selection. Lati, Eccles, Bassette. Should have been Binks, Torp, Simms. I fear the writing on the wall. Sack Robins and bring in a star x footballer who really is still learning about coaching. Simms score some 16 goals after a slow start last year, bassette has all the...

Wrong team! Where's Torp? & Simms?

WBA are due a win or a defeat when you look at the amopunt of drawsthey have had! So it will go one way or the other... lamps needs to show tactical skill here, a bigger test than Millwall. They are strong in the air so a worry if Lati plays in a CB position. We will need to defend well and stop...

Torp must play, he is the only forward thinking midfielder. Time for Eccles to warm the bench. Simms must start. Basette is far to raw and has a lot to do b4 being our main attacking threat. EMC or Asante? Bidwell should come in to add stability at the back. That should do it. Can see a very...

Admired him as a player but Non-Plussed by this appointment tbh. I sincerely hope Frank proves me wrong.

What a twist...did we hang in for R Van.N but he decided the Foxes? Hence the delay. So is Lamps second choice? Robin's is still my prefered option and should never had gone, but seems likely to land the Hull job. Expect Vivash to turn up with him. That would answer so many questions. It's a...
