My favourite was yesterday when it said we were top of the league but we weren't a "credible" top.of the league team.
Desperate stuff.
And still people moaning about the home WIN against WatfordAbsolutely incredible stuff this forum at times.
I was thinking the same thing. We are useless up front for winning headers or holding the ball up for any possible supporting players.Rudoni false 9, pack the midfield
That’s what i mean, great when he“s scoring wouldn’t even know he was playing v QPR. but id start him over wright on Monday, wright looks like he doesn’t want to be hereSimms has scored 3 in his last 4 starts
Simms is scoring, when he starts..10 in 13.Might aswell, when Simms and wright aren’t scoring they don’t offer much else,
Which makes it even stranger when Lampard doesn’t start him over wright who looks like he’s never going to score again, put Simms in and leave him in for a few games but he never does, must have a good reason ?Simms is scoring, when he starts..10 in 13.
Can't think what it is Quinn. Certainly not on Simms. Didn't pick him for one minute in play off semi finals. Perhaps looks too layed back, but so does Wright. All that matters is he scores ( recently anyway), on a regular basis.Which makes it even stranger when Lampard doesn’t start him over wright who looks like he’s never going to score again, put Simms in and leave him in for a few games but he never does, must have a good reason ?
If we are playing shit both strikers offer next to nothing’. If we’re playing alright Simms is the better choice. He causes more headaches for the defenders. Yes things bounce off him, but his mere presence gives more room for others. Still not convinced Haji is a CF , and his form this season since October has been just puzzling. Frank has put all of faith in him. When he comes back from injury, it’s like Simms has one quiet game and Haji is back in.. Haji may have several poor games but he’ll still start. Robins it seems got way more out of Haji than Frank has.Simms has scored 3 in his last 4 starts
Strange one, problem is with both of them I think we’ve seen the best of them, and it’s never really been good enough, still think Asante is the difference and We‘ll be ok once he’s back,Can't think what it is Quinn.

Don’t think some realise how important he is for us, just as good off the left ,upfront and in the 10, gives us options,he was brilliant for us before he got injured,The love for BTA is notable.
Maybe an occasion when absence makes the heart grow fonder.
Lati for Thomas and that’s about our best teamRushworth
MVE
Woolf
Thomas
Da Silva
Grimes
Onyeka
Torp
EMC
Simms
Esse
Thomas and Kitching will startAll season our fine home record has been achieved with Kitch & Thomas.
I can't see how Frank can now leave out Lati & Woolf having made the massive call v Oxford.
Arguably the most decisive selection move of this season to date.
So the pressure is well & truly on the new pairing.
Wish them well.
I’d be comfortable with Kitching and Thomas startingLati for Thomas and that’s about our best team
Can't see why Esse starts over Saka.Rushworth

Saka has been effective coming off the bench going forward and is more disciplined. Esse may be able to unlock their defence when things are cagey early on. Of course he may also do something stupid that leads to them scoring.Can't see why Esse starts over Saka.
Really ? i can see what lampards done, but lati deserves to keep his place, the only reason for Thomas starting is because he gets the odd goal, not really what you should be picking your centre half forThomas and Kitching will start
Esse is a goal threat and a bit less predictable. Can't remember the last good game Saka had where he started. He's better coming on as an impact sub.Can't see why Esse starts over Saka.
People would have offered to drive him if he was sold last summer, a run of 10 matches where he played well is welcome but at the moment it was nothing more than a hot streak for him until he shows the consistency to sustain that for a full season.Don’t think some realise how important he is for us, just as good off the left ,upfront and in the 10, gives us options,he was brilliant for us before he got injured,
Esse doesn't take players on, in the wing position, not a natural winger whatsoever. Going to be a great player, no doubt, but we don't need those loose flicks, lose the ball on the wing, against Boro. No probs, if he starts at 10. Saka tracks back better, as wellEsse is a goal threat and a bit less predictable. Can't remember the last good game Saka had where he started. He's better coming on as an impact sub.
no disrespect but some of our fans wanted to drive half this team anywhere in the summer, he was one of the main reasons we were playing like we were, he played the first 17 games 10 goals and 3 assists, if that’s not consistent ? We’re missing him it’s obviousPeople would have offered to drive him if he was sold last summer, a run of 10 matches where he played well is welcome but at the moment it was nothing more than a hot streak for him until he shows the consistency to sustain that for a full season.
You have to put up with those things with players like esse, he’s class, cant remember the game but the little flick through for wright was brilliant,wright didn’t expect it, should start every game on the right ,Esse doesn't take players on, in the wing position, not a natural winger whatsoever. Going to be a great player, no doubt, but we don't need those loose flicks, lose the ball on the wing, against Boro. No probs, if he starts at 10. Saka tracks back better, as well
At the moment, we can't. Like I say, no way is this guy a natural winger, Saka is..For me Esse is a 10, or comes on later at 10.You have to put up with those things with players like esse, he’s class, cant remember the game but the little flick through for wright was brilliant,wright didn’t expect it, should start every game on the right,
Watch those Leicester highlights, can do anything could probably even play centre forward, but they’re the type of players you want, esse and Asante can play anywhere across the front 3 and be good in all of them, we’ve got some proper quality just need to get it firing againAt the moment, we can't.

No easier games in this league everyone is fighting for something!While we'll obviousky go for the win the same as yourselves, which is what we'd hope for, I'd be satisfied with a draw personally.
You're at home, we have easier games coming up. Whilst it wouldn't keep the winning run going it would still be an unbeaten run maintained and it would signal the end of a Hoodoo which for us would be massive. We'd actually not fear Bristol City later on off the back of it too.
Plus 4 points from yourselves and the Blades, both away, with us having 8 Homes and 6 aways to follow would stand us in good stead.
I don't need to Quinn, I have watched him on the wing..The last thing we need at the moment, is fancy flicks on the wing, losing the ball.. Boro would kill us. Saka and Milan. No probs if he starts at 10.Watch those Leicester highlights, can do anything could probably even play centre forward, but they’re the type of players you want, esse and Asante can play anywhere across the front 3 and be good in all of them, we’ve got some proper quality just need to get it firing again
