We have struggled lately even in games we've won.
Honestly I don't know what to expect today, wouldn't be surprised either way if we do struggle in the game or we come out and dominate them and win 3-0.
They won't want Lampard, even if they did he would be wise not to join again now.
He probably still has one more crack at the Chelsea job despite failing twice given his status with the club. Now is not the time to use that chance up when they have a pretty basket case squad and shotgun...
Fans leaving at 83 mins was ridiculous too, we played over 13 more mins and a goal at any point would have put the game in the balance- that’s where you want 30,000 home fans baying for an equaliser.

He is bang on on every point. Making all the remaining games bar Leicester cat B is class.
Hopelessly out of his depth is an exaggeration, he looks like a player not used to the speed of the league or our system, which is understandable when he's barely played in either.
Yes, good point - you can see these days that refs clearly know about the corner nonsense, previously it threw some of them off.
If we do have a reputation amongst refs it probably introduces a bias, conscious or not, and affects decision making.
I do genuinely wonder if the "Lampard's right, the refs are shite" chant has an impact.
For a while it was basically a guarantee that it would get sung before half time, almost regardless of the referee's performance.
I bet Milan’s long throws have a better conversion rate than crosses from open play.
People have the memories of goldfish on here. Everyone already forgotten us winning 1-0 via a long throw goal on Boxing Day?
