Well you know full well I post on the mental health thread so to use that as an insult is pretty low indeed.

No, I don't. I just think you need help because of that time you pretended to be a woman so people wouldn't mock you as much.

If you do need help, then please go out and get it.

Like everything you say it needs to be taken with a pinch of salt,

If this "mental health thread" is in the off topic section then I'm blocked from that forum by @Nick so that's an apology you owe me

Van Ewijk needs to stop taking long throws from the left side of the pitch, it leaves him completely out of position.

Well when you have someone with the throwing power of a gnat on that side and hit and miss corners Milans throws are needed to try and provide alternative chances

Not making excuses for them, but I wonder if the Allen news had any impact on (some of) the player's mindsets.

Obviously we don't know what the news is, but if it's something truly horrible (and I really hope it isn't) then that could affect his teammates.

Typical over reaction again.

we are struggling, in a hole, rut, whatever.

but we are still in a great position, re group and go hard v Leicester - perfect game to come back for.

This was always always happening, deluded to think not. Can’t then starting loosing plot.

missed large early parts of game today as son had game, but we where better team 2nd half, some sloppy defending aside. Yes we looked little flat in final 3rd but still well in control. And of course another nailed on penalty - frustrating.

desperate for those players in. Full rotation and use of u21s v Stoke.

I can’t believe we’ve managed to let that shower of shite score three goals past us and I can’t believe we never peppered poppadum hands in goal with more shots - No doubt Chris Davies is the best thing since sliced bread and the next England manager in waiting and operation piss the league is back up and running for the fickle twats

In terms of us, the defence needs to take a long hard look at themselves, we looked a potent enough threat going forward but the back four undid anything we were going to do today

Play the Under 12s against Stoke next week and hopefully we have BTA, Torp and at least two new players in the door for the Leicester game

Their fans reaction to Eccles lifting up Allen’s shirt, the circumstances considered was disgusting by the way - But to be expected of them, you can’t buy class

It looks like Lampard came up with a tactic of all out attack which caught many teams out but they have now tactically sussed it out and are exploiting the weaknesses of it.
He now needs to adapt and in particular tighten up in the full back positions somehow. It's killing us for decreasing benefit.

But we aren't playing that all out attack. Rudoni especially is holding onto the ball meaning teams can get set defensively. Beforehand we had the likes of BTA just running at them once we broke the press.

I think teams have learnt to attack our ropey defence recently. They were getting a bit of free ride earlier in the season

Nope. I just think people think any game we lose is down to the referee and some sort of conspiracy against us. It isn’t. We lost because we weren’t good enough.

All will be fine and we will go up , but by god Doug needs to replace at least 7/8 of the starting line up to even have a chance of survival, if not we will be next seasons Wolves
The defending today was totally unacceptable, it would be a cricket score in the Prem

From the Watford home game onwards teams have realised they just need to play through our high line and they only have the keeper to beat.
They have acres of space behind our defence.
Come on Frank, change the game strategy when it’s going against us.

Indeed. And also get the full backs back to where they are meant to be

Today was always the harder of the two away and matches and a potential loss, wouldn't have been as bad if we managed to get 3 against Charlton. Season at danger of unravelling unless we can start defending properly again

One of the main issues in my opinion is that teams now have more time to play through our midfield. Leader of the press was BTA who is not only quick but he never lets up. This gave others more time to press in their area of the pitch. Rudoni goes missing in this aspect .

Vast majority of the team get a 2 week rest now, we will sign reinforcements and we are going into a couple of months where there are I think 1 midweek so increased rests between games

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

Exactly, he tried to step up from there to play him off and as for our 3 left backs, we just look so poor defending

We’ve never looked solid defending. What’s changed is we’re having to do so much of it because the midfield and attack just isn’t working like it was.

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,
