The rumour didn’t make a jot of sense to start with - it was probably made-up and I’m glad it was.

It seems that Lampard doesn’t really care for Eccles at all.

Thought Simms was excellent today - ran tirelessly in the right channels, held the ball up well and made a nuisance of himself. Makes a huge difference having a proper out ball up front.

+4 going into the final three holes, could still make the cut

Can we get the full survey results with crosstabs please Boosh? Feels like there’s some good data to explore here.

I’ve no idea why so many on here were leaping on the fainting couch when he was linked with us, let alone pretending he had that much of a pedigree as a coach

Not much to be upset about from that - the players who people have been ushering towards the exits all played well. I somehow doubt this will be the way Lampard wants us to play next season, but personally I think this system makes us a lot more solid at the back.

I know everyone apparently is desperate for them to be sold, but BTA and especially Latibeaudiere have had a good half there

The heightened expectations ahead of this season were predicated on Robins not needing to do major surgery on our starting XI - it was very strange and disappointing that we spent so much of the first part of the season cycling through different lineups and formations when it was supposed to be...

The failure to settle on the best lineup in literally any part of the pitch this season has really been our undoing.

Feels like a harsh reading to me - he’s already played in four countries, won trophies in three of them. I suppose he could go join another mega-club at PSG or Real Madrid but maybe he just wants to cement a reputation in one place? (And yeah the money probably helps too)

Jamie Paterson starting at CB may be the only way for him to be the box-to-box player we were promised

Flog BTA and we’re down to two available strikers - in a team that’s played two up top as much as we have this season, that’s far from optimal, and you then have no other choice but to play Tavares or move Wright from out wide. Unless BTA is going to fetch a lot more money than I expect then...

Unless we’re in dire financial trouble, or unless he’s had some kind of argument with Lampard that there’s no way back from, I don’t see why it makes “complete sense” to take a sizeable loss on a player after 25 games when your squad is already too small. We’re not about to get a January...

Let’s be honest, Latibeaudiere going to Burnley never passed the smell test. I’ll be glad if he’s still here at the end of the window.

I’m not sure I get the joke Malcolm

They should be docked reaction points - hit them where it hurts

What are you talking about? Kemi Badenoch is a black woman. It's not racist for me or anyone to say that - you could do with a day or three off.
