Worked hard with zero service.

He’s getting lots of starts. Lampard likes him. He’s often thrown in out of position and always contributes.

Agree with Tommo on Torp. Acknowledge he’s improved though. Needs to maintain it. In terms of Kitching he’s adding in that forward carry to his game to better effect and defensively he’s our best player. Especially considering he has to cover a non existent left back a lot of the time.

We’ll see. Hopefully he can replicate the sort of display we saw yesterday for a sustained period.

Been on the pop??

I thought he did a lot of the “unseen” stuff today and bought some much needed control in the final quarter.

When he’s on the ball he has undoubted quality but he was out of the game for long periods today. If you want the ball to fall to anyone in and around the area it’s him. I’d just like to see him involved more.

I know it’s not the way we play but we looked most dangerous with long diagonals in the channels. With Grimes it’s not something we use. We use it sparingly so maybe just need to use a tad more.

8’s for Grimes, BTA and EMC. 7 Torp, Kitching, Rudoni. 6 the rest.

Crazy game. The right result. We found some clinical play in their box at last. But we were awful defensively. We’ve got to sort that. JDS is goals against straight away and puts us into so much trouble. Really good from Grimes, BTA, and EMC today.

Three good passes a game. That’s it. Anonymous again today

Both our full backs are defensive liabilities.

That’s two on Thomas unfortunately

I’d consider Brau for Dasilva. We’ve played ok but just concede such stupid goals.

Plays out of position normally.

Same old same old. The better team but can’t defend and just not clinical enough with our final pass. Our choices in the final third are terrible. Someone needs to explain to the defenders that row Z is sometimes the best option.

Can we debunk the myth that Simms is a confidence player. His level of performance is consistent and doesn’t seem to vary in that way. He’ll get streaks where things go in for him but I think that’s just the game.

Thought he did ok against sketchy opposition. Obviously wanted to impress and just held on to it a bit too long at times. He was out of position though and he certainly didn’t do himself any harm.

Should never happen in the ground - I think all agree. On here it’s different. It’s not slagging players off - it’s just assessing and commenting on how they played. Others will have different opinions which is the whole idea.

Kitching has been our best centre half for a long time. No idea why it took Lampard and co so long to start him. The game last night should also out to bed the nonsense /obsession about left footed and right footed CH’s. It doesn’t matter which they are or what side they play.
