I feel like managers might overthink how to counter the opposition rather than trying to impose upon them. It happened with Robins and it's seemingly happening again with Lampard.
He played away at Southampton in the cup there. I feel like he started away at Leicester at the start of last season there and was pretty good. He's needed in central midfield with Sheaf out though so can't see him being used at RWB.
TBF if he's part of an unchanged team from the one that started last week, that's good and fair enough imo. If he's been shunted out to the wing in a changed set up less so.
You'd be pretty pissed off at Scott Parker. Watching a brand of football that makes Sean Dyche look exciting and bringing back Ashley Barnes and trying to sign Latibeaudiere
The cost of "borrowing" is and the ground is being primed for more cuts in order to meet the fiscal rules.
