This is the most frustrating thing; Leeds are a cut above, and Burnley are very solid, but there are no really outstanding teams. It's really open for someone to potentially take advantage.
That's the problem, though; they don't seem to care enough to really give it 100% total commitment. There are no bodies on the line players.
Cardiff wanted it more than us today, and that's by far the first time you can say that about the opposition.
How come he improved season upon season culminating in being hugely impressive last season and dominating two Premier League midfields, then?
He's an extremely good footballer who's out of form in a shit team.
Good passing range and vision; can strike a ball well.
I think he's a better footballer than O'Hare, but not as dynamic, and it was O'Hare's energy and ability to drive the ball forward that was so integral to our play.
We had Sheaf and van Ewijk looking proper players who could play above this level then; they look like they don't now want to be here. They probably don't.
Kitching and Thomas looked a decent pairing for a while, too, but something clearly not football related has gone on with Kitching, so...
Whatever his faults, you can tell Lampard is desperate to succeed; his stock is low and there are people desperate for him to fail. So there's a lot of pressure on him, and ultimately this is a make or break appointment. Goes wrong, and he's a life of punditry ahead of him.
It may not be his...
