Bidwell hasn't played much football lately and is on the decline, its more on the squad. I'm not sure we would have been any stronger with Bidwell than Brau last night.Before last night he'd made one appearance across October, November and December, and Lampard thought it was a good idea to throw him in against Ipswich. It's on Lampard.
The passing was shocking to a man last night. Even Grimes was poor by his standards.
Shame some have to constantly single out players for criticism yet let others off scott free.
I agree, although it's inevitable that Brau is singled out on this thread because it's one purely about him.
They will agree that he's better than Bidwell and Brau at least.At least now even the haters agree how good JDS is!
I mean, we have seen lots of teams go up and try to play the same way - so im not sure it's irrelevant.It's irrelevant because it's highly unlikely we'd play the way we do currently in the PL.

I hope that we would change!

Whoah. Let’s not get carried away.At least now even the haters agree how good JDS is!
Both goals were due to our full back not being able to defend. It was Van Ewijk to blame for both though, not Brau. Just before the goal he also waved Clarke through to put a dangerous cross in that came to nothing and that itself was about 5 minutes after Clarke got in behind him again and inexcusably hit the ball out for a goal kick with the outside of his foot. That’s just a 15 minutes after sample of how to ignore defending according to MVE. There is more.
Compare JDS retention of possession ( a major problem for us last night) and his ability to pick out a pass down the wing.Wrong Quinn mateda Silva or bidwell wouldn’t have done much better
Feel sorry for Brau. Worst possible game to come into the team where we weren't at the races, and that goes for all our players apart from Rushworth.
I would agree with that mve went missing defensively a few times and people are slagging off BrauHe looked nervous and tried to be too quick going forwards.
Defensively he was OK (apart from the keepups).
MVE was worse.
A corpse would have done better than Brau today.That header raised ghosts of Pressley back in the day……be amazed if he ever starts again and more concerned he’s apparently our only viable option to JDS if KKH is now out for a spell, competition winner living the dream
I’m afraid that mistake is on Lampard bringing him on, very predictable. Bidwell made more sense in the scenario.

MVE got pelters for the back pass in the play offs - that was a mistake from a bloke who is of much better stock. Brau just doesn't look the part. He's a mistake waiting to happen. I never really criticise players, they are much better than me, but I can see why many on here want a new LB despite having 3 who could play that position behind JDS.The guy made a mistake. It happens. He’s being hung out to dry on here. But the wider context is we were well under the cosh when he came on. He’s to blame for their equaliser. But we’re a small, tired, ill squad - that’s the real issue.
