It's not particularly that mad. EMC has been poor since his return from injury. As mentioned as long as Wright stays injury free it isn't an issue.

EMC isn't a massive blow to be honest as long as Wright can stay injury free in the final run in. Thomas being out is an issue. Lati is far too pedestrian and slow to operate in a back four. Against a forward that is remotely athletic he'll be exposed.

They've been plagued by injuries all season and was always going to be difficult for them to keep momentum going with the amount of key players that left last summer. EMC, Burrows, Knight, and Edwards all went.

It all evens out really at this stage of the season, pretty much every club will be down a couple of key players at least.

Sorry i meant as a collective we're still quite wasteful with the ball, not just Sheaf. He definitely wasn't totally match fit last night but he played intelligently and stopped us from getting bullied in the middle / the ball being turned over as easily by picking up said loose balls and...

I think with Sheaf which wasn't picked up on much was he's also very good at picking up second/loose balls. From only an eye test but we seem to still be quite wasteful with the ball and lack that grit in midfield where even if we're unsuccessful in either a ground arial challenge we can still...

I think Rudoni or Sakamoto at times do quite well in that regard, the problem is they're just not natural goalscorers.

Some interesting points. Yesterday was a good example where our flank (left hand side) can become exceptionally and probably unnecessarily over loaded at times due to some of the above reasons which left acres of space on the right where they attempted to exploit on a few occasions. Luckily...

How am I trying to be intellectually superior? Digging your heels into the ground by claiming none of the strikers would with any certainty put in a better performance than Wright is nonsense, especially when Simms put in a positive shift when he came on in the final stretch of the game.

In what way am I quick to anger? None of the points you've made in that post actually make a whole lot of sense so clearly at this juncture you're disagreeing for the sake of disagreeing.

I'm not certain on this at all. He's look very uncomfortable in the past when played there, even at Peterborough.

EMC has been tried centrally and on the right and hasn't looked comfortable at all. Even DMA at Peterborough has admitted on his podcast he can't play anywhere else other than on the left. Perhaps the thought was we could coach that into him one can only speculate. But regardless he isn't one...

I was a big fan of O'Hare but he's streets ahead of him and his ceiling is considerably higher even when O'Hare was at his best. I often forget Rudoni's only 23 so he's only likely to get better, especially under Lampard.

With regards to EMC being backup, even you must have the sense to admit it was a slightly left-field (pardon the pun) buy when the best player in the team is also in that position. Yes squad rotation is a thing, I'm quite clearly not aloof to that fact but wouldn't you raise eyebrows if for...

He retained the ball well he just didn't do much with it.

Right, and that's fine. But does that not mean we as fans we're allowed a counter opinion to managerial decisions based on what we see week in week out or as you've claimed are we not allowed an opinion because 'who gaf'. It's funny how you're clearly perfectly entitled to one though - but of...

The hilarious thing is, you yourself have admitted Wright is better on the left so you're literally proving my point. He's therefore being deployed in a position where he isn't as effective as he would be if he was played in his more comfortable role (out wide). Do you understand the definition...

You "Anyway it would work better if they allowed Wright to float out more to the left more iMO." Also you: "WhO GaF WhAt YoU ThInK." Such irony. But yeah, I'm the stupid one. I've genuinely seen ogres stumble into a job centre with more intelligance than you.

Christ you're not the brightest spark are you. Lampard wants to start the game with the best team available on paper from what he's seen since he came in which in his eyes will be EMC Wright (being our best player) and Sakamoto. Understandable. However, EMC's form has been very mixed since...

It's not drivel at all. As shown last night he's not a natural 9. He's a natural goalscorer. There's a fundamental difference.
