Colin Henry. He looked like he was running backwards when he thought he was going forward.

A modern classic.

Rudoni and Wright are back. Over complicate things. We played a simple attacking system before quickly through to EMC and Tats. That worked well against a lot of average championship teams.

Did you read what I said? We've played a number of ways over the last few seasons and always leak sloppy goals. And not just on the break.

The problem is we looked shaky and leaked silly goals before this season when we've gone gung ho to attack. There's problems in this defensive line. Id say it's improved especially with Rushworth but it's still is a concern and might well cost us.

Wright had the big negative moments around him but he was relatively sharp after a long absence. Saka was quiet. Rudoni has me worried whether he slows up the high tempo game we've been playing without him. Most the rest were decent. We have very much been a high tempo, high confidence team...

We needed a professional calmness to see that game out. Led by Grimes. Instead we got the usual defensive disorganisation and cock up. Stop crosses and FFS get our strikers out the way in the 6 yard box and let defenders deal with it.

Wright did generally ok for his return. He just seems a liability at key moments at both ends.

No one stopped the cross. And Wright should be on the half way line out the way.

It wasn't offside when the ball was played.

Decent start. Haji looks sharp.. We have 3 mightily slow centre backs. Always a worry over the top.

Hope we get a passing game going. Stretch them

The concern is we get overrun in midfield. We'll miss Torp's engine. Let's hope Haji will surprise us by turning up sharp and eager.

He's talking about gifting sloppy goals which we had a habit of for 2 or 3 seasons. It catches up with you in the end. Although Rushy has helped mask some of that with some great recovery saves.

Obviously we play gung ho this season and that has a big impact. But we know by now there's a lot of errors and flaws in the back four. It's not just about us being caught on the counter. JDS and MVE aren't the greatest defenders, they get turned, lose their man and don't block crosses quite a...

Really? What's he unwell with then?

Not sure what sickness Torp had but to go from can't travel or play on Saturday to starting Tuesday is probably unlikely. Unless it's the shits. The shits might be a runner.

You can sense Lampard not particularly happy with Torp here. Guess rang in sick Saturday morning making things even more difficult. Hope it's not this bad flu because he could be out for a couple of weeks to make a full recovery.

We remain defensively quite vulnerable and I'm not sure KKH, Brau and Woolfy have brought much to the defensive party. Lati and Bidwell don't bring much either. Doug will probably be keen to sort some of these out before bringing yet another defender in. It's a mess and Lampard hasn't done...
