    ...frankly your wife is likely to be as good as if not better than most of the tosh on the various transfer twitter feeds

    Looks like we have solved the long running goalkeeper problem

    And it on paper at least is stronger defensively

    Bassette rather than Simms; utterly mystified Without Sakamoto in the way maybe MVE might put in some runs I wonder if Frank regards this as a free hit. Likely to lose, might as well learn something

    BTA, Rafa, Kitching & Allen would be my guess. And any 1st team with Allen in it is scraping the barrel at this level

    ...always worry when there are a number of changes. We only have in effect a small squad so the number permutations is limited

    Lati is the kind of squad player you need. Versatile, tough. But that he is 1st team and not bench is an indictment. He is now ranked above two CB's we paid good money for.

    Well its not working is it, we have effectively neutered ourselves. Nor are they doing it on the left. Also that doesn't change the point, as what we are missing is MVE using his pace to get to the byline. His defence has still been pretty good. He is still a player. It is what is happening...

    Sorry to disagree, but they do plenty of overlapping on the left when they get the chance, but MVE can't get outside Tats without climbing into the front row of the stands. Tats is a stationery target and surrounded. All that Tats can do is pass it back to MVE so MVA cuts out the middle man...

    The decline in the form of MVE as much about Tats as him. Repeating myself but yet again on Wednesday MVE declined to go right because he could see Tats hugging the line with a man on him so MVE did the smart if unspectacular thing and turned inward to at least retain possession. Tats movement...

    We have on several occasions shown ourselves to be nonplussed when faced with a team with a packed defence that in particular shuts off Saka. Derby, Millwall to name a couple. There seems to be a lack of smarts to solve the problem. Plenty of effort but no brains

    I understand a lack of skill not the crap about lack of effort Most teams in any division are made up players of very similar skill. But to win you need 2-3 players who are a cut above. You can see this rule in international teams like Croatia who outperformed because they had Modric. You can...

    The manager has changed but it is the same group of players. Lampard will need the rest of this season just to work out what he's got. And please don't imagine, although I know a number of you will, that there will be a wholesale clear out in the summer. That's for the fairies. Lampard has to...

    I really hate comments like this. Really hate them and there are several others above of a similar ilk. Call yourselves supporters. They are a football team - they tried hard - they weren't good enough. You really do need to lighten up
