Did I say you did?
I would hope you wouldn't wish a severe injury on somebody that could derail their career however.
Tell Sky then. They agreed with me.
Our only home league defeats under him have come against two runaway automatic promotion sides and one that is just as strong as those on paper.We’ve played teams with bigger budgets and given good accounts of ourselves pre-Lampard. Not done it once since. Generally we beat teams worse than us and lose to teams better than us and that’s not great for a newly promoted side. We need huge amounts spending and I hope King realises that.
Stats aren’t everything but take a lookI disagree.
Let's leave it there.
Lots of overreaction again on here, as there always is when we lose. I get it.
It wasn't just 10 mins. Watch it back, that's all I will say.
Rudoni isn't good enough to have a free role imo which might upset some, his best performances/moment for us were from him timing late runs into the box and finishing moves off, as Lampard made his own career out of.Rudoni having a free role appears ro be the main issue .. he has no fucking idea what hes doing half the time , completely slows us down

I’m not sure it does but crack on.Which kind of proves me point?
Yeah I think tonight has just slightly broken the illusion of Rudoni. He’s a great player, but he’s not undroppable. He’s has to provide himself as far as I’m concerned and get back to basics.Rudoni isn't good enough to have a free role imo which might upset some, his best performances/moment for us were from him timing late runs into the box and finishing moves off, as Lampard made his own career out of.
I've never viewed him as a particularly someone who is going to unlock a defence with some silky dribbling or great vision.
Felt like having Julien Dacosta back on the left hand side tonight, van Ewijk clupable of not tracking back, Grimes was off it, no hunger to win any loose balls, of we showed up today we would have won Ipswich nothing special just had more desire and felt like they had an extra man the way they moved the ball around us. Really missing BTA in that 10, whats happening with Rudoni we cant be having passengers
They would need to beat our form early this season to get to 88 points.They could take tonight and go into a blinding form such as ours earlier this season. I wouldn’t pooh-pooh anything yet.
How are you defining who's worse than us and who is better than us based on anything other than league position?Generally we beat teams worse than us and lose to teams better than us
You can see why he's barely played all season. Shite.Brau had a 52% pass completion
Simms was on a goal-scoring run, though.
Wright shouldn't have just been handed the shirt, he should have had to earn it back.

Wright was much much worse tonight than Simms at Bristol.Simms started against Ipswich there and did nothing. He was awful against Bristol. The argument is pointless - it’s pretty obvious the management team don’t think he is good enough and we probably need a better alternative in January
I think we’ll probably finish 3rd or fourth now which will be a superb seasonHow are you defining who's worse than us and who is better than us based on anything other than league position?
Everyone is worse than us this season; significantly so.
As has been pointed out in this thread, Ipswich spaffed their Premier League windfall on a Championship mega-squad. It did them no good in the Premier League, but they are by far the strongest squad in the division at the moment. The fact that we are 10 points ahead of them is testament to how good we have been so far this season.
What's true now is that we have to see how good Lampard really is, as we're not currently in form, and we need to regain that.
I wouldn’t blame Brau our midfield was out fought all game virtually, and with wright not breaking sweat there was no out ball as Clark was in Furlongs pocket all game .It wasn't the game for him at all.
This is just an over reaction Matt.I think we’ll probably finish 3rd or fourth now which will be a superb season
Ipswich are miles better and will win it and Middlesbrough will get their revenge by pipping us to second
Why Simms isn’t playing I’ll never knowWright was much much worse tonight than Simms at Bristol.
Wright hasn't scored in 11, Simms is in goalscoring form. It is crazy to drop him.
Probably I’m fucked offThis is just an over reaction Matt.
That lucky deflection doesn't happen without dreadful decision making; that was my point.I didn't say "just one lucky deflection."
I said the lucky deflection changed the game
