What am I on about ????? Wtf are you on about with this anomalies bollocks ffs!!!! The numbers are just numbers they aren't anomalies at all, i hate to be the one to break it to you but its football, goals happen or dont happen, in large numbers or small numbers or none at all. Anomalies...

That's always been the case, but all goals count even if they are "anomalies" if we conceed from a set piece tonight, would that be an anomaly too or have anomalies finished for this season?

So scoring goals AND conceding goals is an anomaly??? 🤔 Is 15 goals in 3 games an anomaly too Or how about 18 in 7 ??? Tell us, when does it stop being an anomaly?

W We were definately poor at set pieces in the first few games, but we've only conceded 1 goal in the last three games, and that was from open play, and the keeper and centre halves have looked better of late, there's definately an understanding developing.

And if your auntie had bollocks she'd be on top of your uncle 😘

Its not just been 7 games though has it, its been 10 months since Lampard took over. Look at our form over those 10 months.

We've got a team we should believe in, but you've only got to look at the Millwall thread to see how many fuckin wets would settle for a point before a balls even been kicked. Bunch of pussies all of them.

Yea, if we lose Rudoni and EMC we'd be in big trouble ........ oh hang on ....

Im sure his improved recent form has absolutely nothing to do with the world cup being in America next summer. But it could certainly help us get promoted.

Tbf he's never been managed by Lampard before, if Frank can have the kind of impact on Eccles that he has on Torp and Rudoni, then the future is bright for the lad.

That's the same for every manager.

Im delighted with what Lampard is doing here, and I was one who didn't want MR to be sacked, but its also worth pointing out what MR is doing at Stoke, he has guided them to an excellent start to this season too, although I think their squad depth is far worse than ours, so I'd be...

You have to earn the right to start games, and Simms hasn't. That's why Lampard doesn't play him, and that's why he's third choice. If we bring another striker in during the January window, then Simms will be fourth choice. Those are the only stats that matter.

And???? They've managed 1 win in the last 5, a scrappy 1-0 against a very poor Watford. We are second in the league, we are the highest scorers in the championship, we have the 2 top scorers in this league, we are unbeaten, we are full of confidence, we are man for man better than them...

Why? They aren't Brazil. If we are serious about getting promotion we really need to be beating mid table fodder like Millwall.

Look at where he started his run for the third goal yesterday, he gambled and bust a gut to get into the box, where as the Birmingham players around him were all ball watching and left behind him. That looked like Frank Lampard in his prime. After only 7 games, he's only 1 goal behind his...

All the strikers have scored reasonably consistently, except Simms who had an all to brief purple patch which has skewed his stats somewhat. There's also been times when he's been accused of not giving 100%, and he has definitely passed up an awful lot of easy chances to score, like...

Attackers and wingers is where we are a bit short, but with 2 strikers in the starting line up and another on the bench, we should be ok until January (🤞) If Wright pics up and injury we may struggle though. We certainly could do with another player who can play across the front 3...

I know our squad could have a bit more depth, but its not too shabby when you consider EMC is replaced by BTA who scores, and Rudoni is replaced by Eccles who gets an assist (sort of) With EMC, Rudoni and Dovin all injured, we still manage to name 9 very capable players on the bench!

Of course I'd take 4 points, but let's be honest, if we are serious about getting to the promised land, we need to really go for all 6. Hopefully EMC will be available on Wednesday, but it would be harsh on BTA to get dropped after getting on the score sheet again today. EMC gives us...
