If the plan is to just buy players depending on however we get on last week then it’s not really a plan at all.

I think Lampard is just stubborn when it comes to using his squad sometimes. You may be right - if so, I would question why we think we’d get it right this time though.

You can’t keep playing Kitching if he’s going to perform like this. If Woolfenden can’t get into the side now, when would he ever?

Him quitting in the event of not getting promoted would cement this job - and most likely his career with it - as a failure.

Slightly odd that the same people crying out for massive squad turnover in the transfer window thread are in here fretting about massive squad turnover in this one.

I’m happy it’s a loan deal I guess!

I understand the questions raised at having such streaky form but very few teams in this division should be sacking their manager for finishing third, and we are not one of them imo

If you can’t answer the question from the comfort of your couch then that’s ok

Contrary to popular belief, I do think we should change things when we’re playing badly.

Does the team win today with Onyeka in the side instead of Eccles? What’s your solution? This is assuming you were even at the game today of course

It’s a convenient explanation for poor performances from people who have run out of ideas

Tactics? Squad rotation? Training? Maybe I’m wrong and we’ll buy Onyeka and another centre half on Monday and everything’s magically fixed without changing another thing.

Unlike you, I can foresee ways for our form to improve that don’t involve just signing whatever player you’ve fallen in love with on the internet this week - so, yes?

Great night ahead for you, enjoy yourself out there (80.4%!)

lol at people suddenly pivoting on January 31 to us actually needing a CB all along, great transfer strategy here

Reactionary rubbish.

That’s a total fantasy I’m afraid. We’re not going to solve this by just buying a new player in whichever position played badly last week. This is on Lampard to fix, not Doug King.

Absolute shite out there. If you think a new CM fixes that you’re mad, we’re back to the defensive clown show of December 2024.

Excited to see what Eccles can bring in a deeper role. Combined with Sakamoto’s work rate out of possession, it’s a lot more conservative (in theory) than what we’ve seen in recent weeks. A lot of options off the bench if we need to ramp things up too.

It would be terrible if one of our fans had an irrational dislike of our manager when they're doing well!!
