Love the way this forum descends into a bitch fight even in a thread about a game we won :)

Where did you get this info from?

Let's just hope he has learned from that. FWIW I am more positive about Lampard than most, I think he will make more good decisions than bad in the long term. He will work hard for us, it's in his nature.

Agree - the other thing is Lampard needs to be a shithouse and make a prolonged sub as soon as they get their first / get Dovin to go down with an injury. That actually made me more angry than anything on Saturday evening reflecting on the match. Other teams do it, we are too nice.

Would be more worried about Sheaf going than MVE TBH. That's despite our current lack of genuine options at RB.

TBF (with the exception of Lampard's first win) Sheaf has looked unhappy this season. I think if someone offers £10m he will be off. I might be completely wrong, but he has had the air of someone sulking over not getting a move in the summer. However, I think he has been a really good player...

Want it to be May? Definitely, as I am a charity fundraiser for RSPB and the 'feels like' temperature will be -7 when I start work today... whereas I will be on holiday in sunny Portugal in May :) On a football note, I do know what you mean - we will get the odd win and draw, enough to stay up...

Damning stats those. Lampard mentioned about a lack of aggression v Portsmouth (who battered Swansea 4-0 yesterday BTW). With EMC and Wright coming back soon(ish) we are crying out for a midfielder who is prepared to fight and can pick a pass through the lines (and actually get the ball to...

We need a good transfer window... to avoid having to look over our shoulders at a relegation scrap.

Bench not that inspiring, glad transfer window is open now... TBF at least we are not just chucking kids on the bench to make up in the numbers, which we have done in the recent past...

Wouldn't be surprised to see him go. He is essentially a wing back and we now want to play 4 across the back line. Though he can be exciting going forward, as a defender he can be improved upon. I reckon anything north of £5 million and we'll take it.

Know what you mean... but he is a highly paid professional goalkeeper. He knows the deal about what to expect when he underperforms. I was not at the game and have not seen it on highlights etc. but there were comments on the match thread about him having a bit of a joke with Pompey players...

Think we will do less business than many are hoping for... Tyler Bindon is possible as we could include Tavares as part of a player plus cash deal (Reading wanted him in the summer). I think it will be him (or similar) and a left back, that's it. Only thing which could change that will be if...

Starting to think we may as well try Binks at full back if Bidwell is not fit enough...

I for one am delighted to eat humble pie over comments made about him in October (questioned his effort, not ability, that was never in question). What is most pleasing about him (and Torp TBF) is that he is getting on the end of crosses now as well as providing decent ones. The appointment of...

I think we will play quite well tonight, but Saturday's exertions will take their toll eventually. Narrow 1-2 defeat I think.

He is bound to get a game or two over the busy Xmas / New Year period. Way too early to write him off. Think Lampard and his staff will have an honest chat with him and help him develop further.

Worth recalling Kitching to 'sort out' some of their players regardless of whether we go through...!

You may well be on to something there... as much as Sheaf has been a really good player for us at times, I think he is playing with an ongoing injury and needs time to recover from it (again...)

We were ok at the weekend, but there is no denying that our piss poor defence is going to lead us into real trouble unless addressed in Jan transfer window... we just need a couple of competent defenders then we will at least be safe this season... What a depressing thing to type after the...
