I’m surprised MVE wasn’t rested. Like Wright and Rudoni, he needs telling that his reputation flatters to deceive

Who were they going to rest him for? Lati at RB wouldn't have been any better

Basically when Rushworth isn’t on it, we’re fucked. Saved us the last few weeks and when we can’t bank on him then we’ll lose. Champions need more than just a decent keeper.

There’s no better game to get a season back on track than Leicester at home mind.

I was thinking H was very near the EMC incident.
However despite it being a stonewall penalty he couldn't even be bothered to appeal to the referee who was within earshot....where is your passion Haji ? I dont get that lack of interest. Or maybe he just feels like the rest of us & we don't get pens.

Surely the Birmingham player gets suspended for simulation after Thomas flicked him

I'm glad I had things to do other than watch this match.

Not going to look at the thread, I already know how it goes and it won't be pretty.

Thomas is a twat. Kicked him first before the little slap. Deserved to be sent off.

Ffs, we were battering in goals for fun.

Whatever our form is now, for the first half of the season, we were head and shoulders above every other team in the division.

We don't look like that team now, but I guess now we see how good Lampard really is, and if he can turn around the form of a squad of players that have clearly lost belief.

3 pretty poor pieces of defending have cost us unfortunately. Other than the goals, did Birmingham really create too much? Which makes it more frustrating.

The thin squad was going to catch up with us eventually. Today probably the worst it's been with only really Wright on the bench that could make a difference, i don't think Lampard would have wanted to bring Andrews in to that situation.

Rudi seems void of all confidence at the moment and i think Torp would have probably started if available.

Petulant of Thomas to get involved there at the end, first kicking out, but then raising your hand you are giving the opposition player a chance to go down like he's been shot, and the referee a chance to buy it.
I get that the players were frustrated with the ref, but this has been a running theme in a lot of our games lately, we are not getting blatant penalties and 50/50 fouls are being given against us, but the players need to accept that it's not going our way and not lose their heads.
Always easy for us to say watching from the stands, but discipline is key, now without Thomas for crucial games.

Sakamoto looks like he took a knock. Reinforcements needed sooner rather than later. Let's hope deals are being worked out as we speak.

Not the worst position to be in, need to keep reminding ourselves of Lampards overall record since he took over and have some faith that we can even it out, starting with Leicester.

2024/25 League 1 Champs? said:
clueless, and also lacking intelligence

where to start, well firstly you don’t mean ‘capable’ you mean ‘culpable’, silly!

secondly I’ve not commented on anybody else’s thoughts, only yours, and only once, so hardly ‘every time’

thirdly, an argument for what? it’s a fact that JDS was not directly responsible for any of the goals, all of which were down to other defenders not tracking runs or trying to play offside - if you understood football you’d see that, I don’t need to argue anything

fourth, I’m not trying to defend JDS, but he was instrumental in our first goal and a lot of the good play down the left, but that’s something else I’m sure you missed

fifth, why is what I think in any way related to how the team perform? what a silly comment….

and lastly, if you find yourself in Earlsdon, as your name suggests, please pop down to any of the pubs on Craven Street and call me a c**t to my face

haha, clueless!
Click to expand...

Correcting typos mid game and offering out fights. Are you sure it is me that doesn't have an argument?

He was to blame in certain shades for every single goal today. That is the reality. You cannot cope with that so you are just writing a lot of shit and digging deeper holes to put the focus away from it. No counter argument still, and some tangent about him being involved in our first goal (the one where Eccles fired one in from long range). It is desperate, and quite laughable, as are your comments about intelligence. If you look at the player ratings you will see most people have put him down as one of our worst players today, which he was.

Have a lovely evening, and try not to get too emotional towards anyone in the pub who might say something that isn't positive about a player you like. Your post here is embarrassing.

Was really cynical too, ball was miles gone, dirty bastard that Wagner but once again we need to be savvier to turn these into reds. Had another 20 minutes to go at him on a yellow.

Looks like it crocked Saka aswell, didn’t look right afterwards at all.

I feel like the thin squad thing is becoming a bit of a self fulfilling prophecy. There aren't many teams in this league able to rotate and yet some are coming into form now.

Well he should just come straight out and say it. Gurney with his stupid hat and glasses and coat, must be like being interviewed by Claude Greengrass. He needs to step away and let Oggy do the talking. It's a circus with Gurney and Lorna

We haven’t got an injury crisis. That was as close to our first 11 as we have been all season. Always going to be a couple out and we coped until December.

Yeah funny how the referee, linesman can see the incident with Bobby Thomas and the red card but they can't see a blatant penalty.

I didn't realise it was a high challenge. Let's hope it's just an impact injury. It's the last thing we need.
