Think I may have started this, sorry, I said I hope it isn’t Doug thinking finishing 3rd is good enough and gambles on we go up in the play offs , but if it’s esse coming in then he’s giving frank what he’s asked for,
Didn’t say he wants us to finish 3rd said theres no way he’d expect us to be top, just hoping he doesn’t think finishing 3rd would be enough, you’d expect play off final at least
If esse is the level we’re getting you could be right, left backs marking him for 60 mins then tats comes on…if we could do the same on left we’d be quality going forward, still like to see a centre half in,
Hope so, surely spending a few million in Jan is nothing compared to what he’ll get in the summer, plus he’s covered himself if he gives Lampard what he wants, if esse is the first one in he’s having a proper go
Our best 11 is
Rushworth
MVE
Jds
Thomas/ wolfenden
Kitching
Torp
Grimes
Rudoni/asante
Saka
EMC
Wright/ Simms
Not sure the players who we’ll be after will get in ahead saka/emc ?
We were talking about that yesterday, there’s no way Lampard or king thought we’d be where we are, just got that horrible feeling kings happy if we finished 3rd, and had another crack in the play offs, but surely being this close just go and sign some proper quality, if Bassette comes back then...
We’ll only be signing back up players so I wouldn’t expect too much, once torp and Asante are back can’t see us changing much, just need cover on the wings, and Asante can play on the left,
Teams are, that’s the best bham and Ipswich have played all season, we should expect the same every game from now on, we need to find a way to do the same, and not sure we can blame the squad depth, we’ve still got results with worse teams than what started yesterday, it’s just stupid...
Asante and torp play we win that, simple, you can see what we’re missing, we’ve stopped pressing teams, Asante was setting the press from the front, teams have got too much time against us, they just play through us, there’s gaps everywhere
Mboro have been worse than us and just battered Southampton 4-0, we could just as easy do the same against Leicester and the last few games are forgotten about, reckon it’s the perfect game for us,
Calmed down a bit now we actually did enough to win that, yet again soft goals cost us, I’d be more worried if we were totally outplayed and didn’t make any chances, 2 home games to turn it around and get us back on track, but you’re right seems everything’s going against us at the minute...
We sit in between the halfway line and edge of the penalty box at home, when you look across its frightening, would love to see the defensive coaching 😂
Missing torp and Asante, they link everything up just we looked shocking at the back, it’s basic defending, do that against Leicester and we’ll need another 3 goals to get something,
For a team top of the league that is shocking, and our defensive record isn’t even that bad, even at home it’s like nobody actually knows their job defending, wright and Simms get stick MVE ? Trying to play offside from that
9 point gap to 3rd, our home record is still fine, hit a bit of a stumble but nothing compared to mboro’s and we’ve got a more favourable run of games from now, just keep you’re shit together… talking of we’ve bottled it and play offs, we’ll come out of January with a much better squad
