I really hope we find a way to win this. Cardiff look so awful and losing or drawing with them would just sap our confidence and would be another missed opportunity in another winnable game.
The problem with our players is when we are moving forward, we seem to dawdle in midfield and pass sideways or backwards and let the other team get set up again at the back. I'd like for us to make a quick thrust forward when there is an opportunity to do so.
Think Simms need to come on. He's much better at headers than Bassette and should be able to get a goal here. Would do a world of good for his confidence.
Smart move on his part to wait to take over after those tough games. But if we cannot beat Cardiff (who really suck) and suppose we lose, the Lampard-bashers will be out in full force.
He was okay (nothing too special) in my view. Marginally better than his previous cameos. I expected a more pacy player with goals to his game. But so far he has underwhelmed from that perspective.
Hate to agree with Wilder but some of our performances under MR were so piss poor that it mind boggling. If we can find a way not to concede goals, I think the wins will follow. At least we’ve shown some resilience these last 2 games.
Rhys Carr has done a decent job managing the club to be fair. Tough 2 games in charge and the players have shown more fight these last 2 games. Maybe deserves to be kept on by Lampard if that’s who takes over. Time to get behind the new boss. Think Dovin deserves a recall as I’m still not...
We were so deep in their box at times and nobody dared to just have a go and shoot. Only MVE tried a shot that hit the post and went out. That was disappointing.
