If you think we have ample squad depth I'd love to know your thoughts on theirs!Ipswich’s remaining fixtures are rough - five away games in February, then Birmingham, Southampton and Middlesbrough in April. You can see them hitting their stride and breezing through all of them (which would obviously be bad news for Boro) but you would much rather have our remaining fixtures than theirs.
I think making proper use of BTA and Eccles - two players who many people thought were expendable this season - for the rest of the year will go a long way to shoring up the midfield.Watch him improve when we make other midfield changes.
I'm not sure he is.Yeah you're right, that's the big puzzle for me, is Rudoni told to play out there, if not sort it Frank.
We just seem to be asking for trouble playing so expansively without enough energy to cover the spaces that are left. Hoping for a bit of pragmatism next week.different team since Clement came in, but still beatable
Not desperation just the fact EMC has played 180 mins in 4 days.
I mean, good for them, but I wouldn’t switch places with them in a million years. I think this squad is the one tbh.If you think we have ample squad depth I'd love to know your thoughts on theirs!
Don't encourage the prick.Thankfully this sporting match is over.
It was interrupting Professor @MillwallFan and his lectures on sports, politics, and racism.
Please continue, Professor @MillwallFan you have your captive audience once more.
85??
glad we have the extra couple of days recovery and on the training groundWe just seem to be asking for trouble playing so expansively without enough energy to cover the spaces that are left. Hoping for a bit of pragmatism next week.
I'll strive to make my mockery and sarcasm more obvious next time.Don't encourage the prick.
We need some pace defensive central midfield to get back and cover or a pacy central defender.Sorry to repeat but we need someone who can come on for Grimes, that will tighten up the defence as he becomes tired, because he is knackered. If we get this Brentford lad he is able to slot into the back line to make an extra defender when the opposition are pressing.
I thought it was a goal; he was clearly offside, but made no attempt to play it.Anybody got a replay of the offside goal? I thought esse got in the way of a defender when it happened.
It's not that he's not up to speed, it's that he's playing his role in a way that is completely detrimental to us.Jack could do with starting the next match on the bench. He’s not up to speed yet and it’s costing us with both in defence and attack
It was obvious, don't worry.I'll strive to make my mockery and sarcasm more obvious next time.
My point is it's a huge gamble in the game situationNot desperation just the fact EMC has played 180 mins in 4 days.
He presses and has fantastic interceptions. He would be perfect for us.We need some pace defensive central midfield to get back and cover or a pacy central defender.
Not sure if the Brentford lad has that.
I know he didn't try to play it but I thought the defender ran into him so he got in the way. Others who saw it seemed to think he didn't.I thought it was a goal; he was clearly offside, but made no attempt to play it.
The counter is that he's in the defender's mind. I thought we were unlucky, but those are hard calls and don't really have complaints.
I've explained and if it was that easy to figure out why didn't Lampard put him on?Exactly - don't know how that's not hard to figure out
He did tbf. But not intentionally. He was in an offside position so just stood still. The defender then ran in to him. He didnt deviate or move to block him. Just stood still and got ran in to. I can see arguments for and against tbh. Personally, I felt it was harsh to rule it out. But can also see why it was.Anybody got a replay of the offside goal? I thought esse got in the way of a defender when it happened.
I can't imagine that he's doing something he's not been asked to do (and that Lampard would keep playing him if he was) but look at how different BTA took on the role when he came on.Yeah you're right, that's the big puzzle for me, is Rudoni told to play out there, if not sort it Frank.
The defender was moving in the opposite direction of the ball trying to play offside, the goal should have stoodAnybody got a replay of the offside goal? I thought esse got in the way of a defender when it happened.
Get in!!!
That's why lampard knows best. Haji wright wooohoo

Yeah I know he didn't intentionally but wanted to see a replay so I can slate the officialsHe did tbf. But not intentionally. He was in an offside position so just stood still.

He had no worries about Esse going straight into the team, honestly bit concerned right now that Yang is just way off the level Lampard wants.I've explained and if it was that easy to figure out why didn't Lampard put him on?
Maybe they've both been just given a free role? BTA being a striker by trade see his "free role" more centrally and area focused whereas Rudoni sees his more of creating and crossing? Both playing the free role 10 position in their own ways maybe?I can't imagine that he's doing something he's not been asked to do (and that Lampard would keep playing him if he was) but look at how different BTA took on the role when he came on.
Why wouldn't FL have told Rudoni to do that earlier? Why would he just tell BTA to play in a completely different manner to the player he's replacing? It just seems odd.
His confidence seems to be on the floor, I want to see him being a bit more aggressive in his passing. Though in his defence we keep changing team of late which probably doesn't help.He wasn't shocking but he was below par . I think we have to allow for dips in form and with Grimes it's a very high bar he's dipping from
