This worries me more than the individual form of any player.

We don't seem able to match anyone's intensity at the moment.

They're not in form, but they're not awful. I said up thread that Kitching needs to be dropped for a spell.

Our defenders can defend (yes, I know that sounds a hollow statement after watching that), but they are constantly exposed by forwards charging at them because we play so open. Every, and I mean every, defender is going to look ropey against that type of exposure. The issue isn't the personnel...

We've had three points since then, and one of those was at Charlton, who are a painfully mediocre team, and one was against 10 men. The worst thing is, that most of the defeats have been due to being brainlessly gung-ho. There's no way we should have lost to a very average Birmingham team, and...

And now it's not working, so he has to. That's the sign of a good manager; one who is able to rectify and tweak things when they are no longer working.

Kitching especially needs a time on the sidelines. He's a good player, but he's in awful form, and the point of a squad is that you can pick players on form. Perhaps Lati deserves a run. He's limited, but Kitching's form is making him a liability.

And that's why we're now repeatedly being turned over away from home. Often against pretty average teams.

Which forced a good save and a goal-line clearance following another good save. He was dangerous, and one of the very few to get any credit at all out of that.

MvE was good. Wright ok; don't know why he's getting criticism. Esse in patches. Kitching, Thomas, Dasilva and especially BTA absolutely fucking pathetic. BTA should be embarrassed with himself. Lampard: 0. Wrong set-up, and taking Wright off when he was a biggest goal threat was a joke...

He also needs to learn from his own mistakes. Because at the moment, I am not seeing that he is.

And then you sure it up; make the midfield more compact.

That was utterly fucking pathetic. Almost as bad as the Birmingham debacle. It's like Lampard has an inability to learn from previous games. We. Cannot. Play. This. Way. Away. From. Fucking. Home! We've had 45 minutes of decent football away from home since the Middlesbrough game, and that's...

It's just brainless. This performance is on Lampard. You can't keep setting up to be so open away from home, especially without pace at the back. It was happening last season, and it's exactly the same this. You have to be more compact away from home.

You've got to be savvy, especially away from home, and we're not fucking savvy.

That was dogshit, but it's this fucking system. It's brainlessly open.

That's fucking pathetic. Utterly fucking pathetic

Get BTA off.

That's utter fucking dogshit I fucking gate these.

We've got away with one there, and BTA's been very poor.
