Yes I’m sure that’s the straw that breaks the camel’s back for these precious souls

English and British have become weirdly more interchangeable over the past few years. I’d say I was the former (and proud of it!) but the distinction seems less important than ever. Celebrating patron saints is for schoolchildren and Americans really

You kind of have to wait until they’re found guilty

Wish Clive would ask Lampard questions like that

“It’s getting a bit OTT and personal”, says man who once demanded Mark Robins to be murdered execution-style

If Wilson starts I’d definitely be looking to start with 3ATB, maybe even with Bidwell at LCB instead of Binks.

Find it baffling the amount of people complaining about the team being bottle jobs and then predicting certain defeat a few minutes later. Time for a bit of grit from players and fans alike. This is a game we should win, and can win.

You’re kind of telling on yourself by replying so quickly to that post…

Given the frequency with which certain posters are choosing to drone on about him, you’d be forgiven for wondering if this is actually true sometimes

You don’t really need to worry about letting Collins down gently at this point, because if you drop him at this stage of the season for someone who hasn’t played since the Biden Administration it’s painfully obvious that he’s never playing for us again.

I have a feeling Lampard will agree with me on this one.

Where is the evidence that Collins’ teammates don’t trust him? It’s not like the defence is doing anything to stop shots either…

Fanbase full of pussies

I find the Simms pile-on a little strange. If we don’t go up this season, it’s not because of anyone’s failure to score goals, it’s the comedy routines at the back that have screwed us over for two years in a row now.

There is no way a 21 year old with zero league appearances who’s barely even trained with the senior team is going to be thrown in to a Championship playoff race because he’s “a great shot stopper”. It’s nonsense.

Only if you think that shot-stopping is the only thing that matters about keepers

I’d say the defence seems to trust him, he just can’t save shots. Will our back four play the same passes to Wilson they would play to Collins? If not, how does that impact us? Is it more or less harmful than the risk of another Collins boo-boo?

Who else are you going to play there?

It’s arguably the biggest call of Lampard’s time here so far - if Wilson comes in and unsettles the back four in our biggest games of the season then we’re fucked. As fans we can comfortably say that anyone else in goal would offer more confidence, but do the players agree?

Given the fixtures involved, you’d rather be in our position than Bristol City’s or Boro’s. I think momentum and squad morale is going to be key, and I do at least think Lampard has helped us greatly with both of those.
