You’re tripping.

Dan Neil isn’t better than Grimes or Torp… Jack Taylor has been distinctly average in a v good setup. Neil improves them but not us. We need a player like Matusiwa who is physical. I’d argue he was one of the key difference makers in both fixtures against us.

Equally, I’m sure Lampard and the recruitment team have a plan and priority of positions. It was reported before the window opened that we were after a CM and LB so it’s almost definitely being worked on. Left back, I’m a little less bothered about because KKH can play there and felt he did...

Makes you wonder what the plan for Sakamoto is, you’ve just gone out and signed two RWs as well as Minny. After Sunderland away last year (2-2), I was convinced Sakamoto could fit in well at LW.

You can pursue multiple transfer at once…

Has decent numbers in the Swiss league but I have no idea if that translates well to the Championship.

I’m concerned about our away form, nothing else at this moment. Ipswich have been bottle jobs away from home, their away record is comparable to ours. Likewise, Boro have got to come to our place. I’ll begin to worry if we lost v QPR and fail to beat Oxford. At that point we could genuinely...

Apparently BTA can’t be banned because the ref gave a foul for the incident… let off!

We’re 8 points clear of 3rd…

Literally still at 2 points a game. Honestly, half of this forum become like toddler having a temper tantrum when we lose a game. We're 3 points above Boro and 8 ahead of Ipswich, talk of impending bottling is premature and frankly, After QPR, we have Oxford and Boro and even if we lose on...

Hellberg has only just got them up to 2 points and they went on a 4 game winless streak around Xmas, he's behind Lampard's record for us so not really buying into his hype just yet. Hull and Ipswich, in comparison, have been better than Boro since he arrived.

He's 31 this year and been a captain at this level for several years, has more experience than just about any Championship player. Having a real 'older head' is just a bad cliche because it doesn't magically correct miss big chances or make basic defensive errors. That was the difference last...

We literally had the better chances... A quick watch of the highlights show that.

An experienced player like… Grimes? If rumours are to be believed, we’ll be signing another experienced pro in Onyeka this window.

Thomas and Kitching have been our established CB partnership for 3 seasons now and when we signed Wolfenden, we had the best defence in the league. Now that’s changing, perhaps Lampard revisits this again. The premise of this thread is plainly ridiculous and he may find a role at some point.

It is valid, but more people are talking about that than the 3 mistakes/errors that actually cost us the game. EMC has to score that chance at 1-1, it’s a header from a few yards out, Eccles header at 2-1 down was also not good enough. Haji’s chance was the hardest of the lot but he should’ve...

We just lack athleticism and ball winning in midfield and feel that for balancing purposes, that gives us an edge. We’ve been doing it all season, we regularly bring on Allen to see games out.

First and foremost it was individual errors. No one can watch the 2nd goal and tell me it’s tactical. If that’s tactical, MVE’s back pass v Sunderland was also a tactical error… 🙄

What chances then? Both of their best chances were their second half goals…

We had a higher xG in both halves so whatever chances you think they should’ve scored, we literally had better chances. That’s not even including EMC missing from a yard out and Haji having one cleared off the line.
