He's shite, scores a few from millions of shots

It is but it isn't happening this time, see junglej's post

Rolling the dice I guess or guess not given junglej's post

I think he's decent TBF, probably cost them next to nowt

Hopefully he kick starts our own ability to score "on the transition" something we did a lot early season but seem to have done less do recently

They're being run very strangely these days Sheffield United

Dunno, maybe this guy https://www.skybluestalk.co.uk/threads/portsmouth-fc-coventry-city-match-thread-saturday-21st-dec.165056/post-3247799

By referring specifically to games from the first third to back up whatever point is being made

There is still an underlying anti Lampard sentiment, you can see it all coming out now where the games we won are being questioned.

Sorry, didn't realise the transfer window was solely focused on the next two games.

And BTA filled in well there earlier in the season too

TBF to Wolf our best defensive display of the season was probably (mostly) holding off Southampton with ten men, he played well that day, but that's one of the rare occasions where we sat deep to literally defend the box albeit I think we played with a back 3 in the second half. He also started...

You said the second half you pissed up nause

They are not, they can defend their box. If we sat 20 yards deeper and their job was to defend the box, it'd be fine. The problem we've got is that we are more often that not defending on the 'transition' where we're completely out of shape. QPR's goal is a perfect example. I am not sure why...

It was another example really of Lampard being a bit more conservative when we were ahead. The second half just played out, no unnecessary risks, just see the game out.

In his last season here (where for the majority of the season we played a similar system to this, if less attacking) we kept 12 clean sheets. You need to make your mind up whether it's the players or the coaches, you're flailing around with your Kitching obsession.

If EMC is out I think it should be Haji shifted out to the left If Onyeka is ready I'm not sure who he comes in for, it'll probably be Eccles though. Esse must start ahead of Sakamoto.

Give it a rest, no need to start making things. We dropped off in the second half as the game was over by half time. Even though we were still pretty dominant. Watford scored a penalty but did create really a single meaningful chance otherwise.

There was a clear lack of confidence in our play at QPR, not as obvious at Norwich but definitely at QPR. Decision making is the main manifestation of it, players unwilling to take risks with passing, moving the ball slowly, taking too many touches. Limited support for players in posession.

This is a recent thing, early on in the season Lampard wasn't shutting up shop as such but he did make changes to tighten us up in games. I've no idea why he has stopped doing that.
