I wouldn’t say he’s sacrificing results purposely SG, what I would say is Lampard is too stubborn to change the personnel or formation, I assume because he believes his own judgement. Lampard will see the players on the training pitch and behind closed doors, if he has a reason for picking...

I would add that the reasoning for continuing Collins under scrutiny from pundits, other pros in the game and from fans also needs to be explained by Lampard. I tweeted CWR last week asking them to ask the question post game, instead of Clive's usual drivel, but alas nothing.

It was only two years ago KOK that Wilson was Golden Glove winner in the Championship, he's always been pretty reliable for us. Whilst I agree it's not a game changer, Wilson over Collins is certainly an upgrade.

Having no keeper is still better than Collins in goal.

Bye Haji 👋

It’s like they said on Ref’s Watch earlier it’s not malicious or intentional even it’s a coming together which JDS is at fault for and what earns him a red.

On my first viewing I believed that their player initiated the contact and then in the second phase tripped themselves up to go down. Nothing I've seen since tells me that isn't the case, JDS doesn't break his stride to make a movement towards the player or to foul him. Ultimately the rule...

Please win lads.

I agree it has worked, but with EMC out and Saka out of form I feel it would be much better to switch to a 532. This setup also seemed to get the better out of Simms earlier in the season and we looked more defensively sound.

I do like Frank and he’s done a great job getting us to where we are given where we were when we took over, but I have to question his decision making recently. Persisting with Collins and the 433 just don’t seem to be working. Is it a case that he doesn’t see it the same as the rest of us or is...

Madness.

He was asked and made comments about several other players, but Milan not being one of them. Maybe it’s not as worse as feared or he’ll play through the injury? I understand that clubs do try to hide significant news in relation to injuries, which is why I’m not disputing what you are saying to...

Not suggesting you’re wrong, however this was not highlighted by Frank Lampard in the press conference when he was asked about injuries.

In terms of our development model there's some really good players here.

The latter I would suspect.

All consistent with when Lampard switched to 5-3-2 due to injuries, Simms scored 4 in 8 games and BTA 3 in that same period.

Spot on Hobo.

I am on the fence with Simms. Based on yesterday's game and others like it this season, I can see the frustration that comes with Simms. I would balance this by saying I don't think he is suited to playing a lone striker role and it's not a surprise that his best performances this season came...

Posted it on here a couple of times, but IMO we need to switch back to 5-3-2. Wilson in goal, Collins looks devoid of any confidence and FL would be protecting him by taking him out the team. Wilson, MVE, Thomas (if fit, if not Binks), Lati, Kitching, JDS, Sheaf, Grimes, Rudoni, Wright and...

Drop Collins for Wilson. Go back to 5 at the back. Bring Sheaf into Midfield for Allen.
