I’m just worried that if we don’t play our best defenders against a team scoring for fun it won’t matter how many great crossfield passes or headers from corners they win.

Understood. I think Kitching and Thomas have played a lot more good games for us than the other two and to say the others are our best defenders is based on a VERY small sample size. Either way, our CBs need to do their f*cking jobs, show some fight and take responsibility. PUSB.

Is Kitching still living in Barnsley?

Not sure, but you will always find him in the room with the microwave and fridge for social gatherings.

15 games to go and we’re still trying to work out what our best centre half pairing is, can guarantee we‘ll go back to kitching and Thomas, if dropping them has given them the kick up the arse they needed then Lampards a genius, if it goes tits up Monday then they’ll be even more questions asked. Latis looked good, deserves to keep his place,

Latis ceiling as a player is limited - If he is the answer, then promotion is not the question

And kitching and Thomas are ? how many games has he cost us when he’s played ? Not saying he’s the answer but he’s done a job when asked,

Id argue that but agree on the final sentence.

It’s just a meme like Dasilva and Haji Wright at this point. No thought needed beyond “it’s Lats” but the fact is for me he’s done a far better job of the core job of a CB than either of the other two when he’s played. I’m not sure only starting 5 games is his fault. He was injured and of course we’re going to keep the team together after the initial good run. But the run has ended and it’s time to look again. Rudoni is similar he was rightly dropped despite on paper being one of our better players.

A striker going 3 months without a goal is a meme? Get a grip!

...obvious must win. True test of whether Frank is a proper manager able to change the song rather than just a one hit wonder.

If we are going by the Frank Lampard playbook (a short volume), EMC to return. If he doesn't I prefer Yang to Esse on the left. But Esse on the right, Sakamoto was mind-numbingly predictable against Oxford

Gamble on the midfield - Grimes, Frank the tank and Rudoni. Torp over Eccles if Frank does not want to throw the new man in.

It has to be Thomas in defence. Probably Woolfy on the other side.

Simms or Wright? Who cares? It seems to make little difference right now. Frank is predictable. That is the problem, and a bit of a surprise considering he is a clever bloke, but the curve-ball would be to break with his ingrained opinion and play Wright on the left and use EMC as an early sub. But he won't do that because that means showing imagination

Both of them must have reasonable records against Boro. Can recall a few goals for both.

The point is it doesn’t matter how he plays people have made their mind up. By your own argument Haji was in the team when we were playing well so should stick there

Can we just put Onyeka in. Games like this are surely the reason he is here.
