Lampard needs backing by King this window. Either perms or loans it doesn't matter

If he doesn't then we can expect Play Offs at best, the squad doesn't have the strength or depth

Yup.

I am not panicking yet. I could just see that we would possibly struggle today and against Charlton too.

Just needs some fresh blood injected and we should be fine.

Exactly, Only worry was that was us nearly full strength, still torp and Asante are are a huge loss need them both back, and quick

That Leicester game is the biggest of the season by a country mile.

They’ll be well up for it. Put in a shit performance like today and lose, and we’re in full on bottle mode. If the lads don’t turn up for that one, they don’t want it.

Defensively shambolic today, our midfield was woeful. Simms and Ephron did alright but unless we bring in 2 or 3players this window we will continue to slide down the table.

Our players aren't robots you can see how fucking exhausted mentally and physically they are. Bringing on Andrews just goes to show how bad it is depth wise.

Our lads need some fucking help Doug.

We haven't bottled it, just don't have an automatic promotion winning squad. What we do have has excelled but can't maintain it for 46 games. We won't finish top 2, lets concentrate on getting over the play offs given line as soon as possible

At this point in the aim has to be autos be I agree with the rest.

This team looks low on confidence, shattered, not using their brains anymore and sub standard.

We won’t finish in the autos come the end of the season. Everyone else is coming good and we’re fucking up. The mentality isn’t there to be winners.

Team needs help asap to have a chance now.

All on our fantastic owner leaving us short in the window, blinded us by purchasing the Ricoh. He’s got 2 weeks now before lesta to save this season, prove us wrong Doug go and spend some serious money and get us over the line

Agreed but we haven’t bottled it yet.

We’ve come to the end of a shite schedule. Frank will get backed and the lads will have a rest before our next league game.

Can see the issue, to bring fresh legs on we have to change formation, once saka went off we were done, having to push rudoni out wide again,

I've written a few times in the match thread about how awful the atmosphere in the away end was, utter silence after both times they took the lead. You can tell that every single person in the away end is thinking what nobody wants to say out loud

Let's face it, Rudoni offered us nothing even before hand.

It’s not bottling it, it’s the squad size getting found out, 1 forward on the bench when that game was there for the taking, if we put another winger on when saka went off we get something, that squads got us as far as it can, needs some help.. simple as that,

Great opportunity to rest the first team against Stoke, send them away for a week to rest and recover. Hopefully bring in a few reinforcements and we'll be flying.

He’s getting better every game, then got put out wide, I’d look at the whole back four before blaming the midfield/forwards, 2 goals away from home should be at least a point,

Woolfenden has a chance now to step up and show he can be a starter. Difficulty when we were flying but now he has a chance.
Hopefully Kelser-Hayden isn't out too long as Van Ewijk needs a rest.

The issue is that he has been terrible since he came back.

He constantly kicked it out of play. He's better as a defender for the opposition the way he kills momentum,

That's on us today. Recovered twice from gifting them the lead but failed to pile on the pressure when needed to get past a bang average side. The spark that was Asante causing havoc for defences is the big miss as we took advantage of that situation time and again. Yes we need a couple of faces that compliment our side not disrupt it. I don't think we have had the same 11 since Asante's injury and it's telli that that previous 11 had a way about them. Simms and Eccles took really good goals and that should have been enough to go and win but we shot ourselves in the foot at the back. Rushy had a bad day by his standards. Should not have been beaten at his near post like that.
We will be fine, there's more to come from this team. It's inevitable from what I see, we will pick it up again.

Exactly, we can’t afford any players missing with our squad, we’ve prob got one of the weakest attacking benches in the league, 2 wingers come on 2nd half we prob win that,

4 wins in 10, but I would say that was also the hardest run in of the season in terms of games per day and opposition (Boro, Ipswich, Southampton all away)

15 points from a potential 30. Get some reinforcements in and we can still limp home to an auto spot.
