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.

The shape in front of him doesn't look right with Rudoni drifting out wide all the time , can't help with his passing options

So we have most of the bottom half left to play

7 of the top 10 as well to be fair.

Although 5 of those are at home.

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.

Personally think it could be about personality.

Esse clearly a confident lad, Minny seems a little more reserved and in a tight game, big ask to bring a teenage lad on the pitch if he’s a little nervy.

Yep that's exactly what happened.

He stood still and did his best not to interfere but the defender ran into him when trying to tackle Eccles so it was the right decision

I don't think it's that,I just think it's the fact that EMC's the better player in that position & there's no chance of Yang displacing him
He's only been here 5 minutes so way too early to suggest that Lampard doesn't rate him

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?

Maybe, but why would Rudoni have started playing like that? Last year he was immense being central and arriving late in the box. Why now suddenly start drifting wide and start holding the ball up if you've got a free role? And even if he was doing that surely by now he'd realise it's not working as well as what he was doing previously, or what BTA has done in a similar role?

Crucially - at home as you’ve said. I’d feel a lot less confident if we still had to go Middlesbrough, Preston and Stoke.

Yang will play his part but he's competing against our best outfield player currently

It’s a nightmarish watch isn’t it. Our current formation appears to be 2-1-1-5-1. Full backs so high it’s surreal, no midfield, some good wingers and Lati. Chaos!

Big win for us. Now we need to take this momentum against Norwich.

Would have a look at starting BTA and Wright again.

Esse has come in off the back of 3 seasons in the championship and with great pedigree and experience. Minny has played half a season at a team currently in the bottom 3. Big difference. That said, however, I can see Minny starting on Monday. Its the perfect opportunity to rest EMC. Back to back 90mins we need to keep him fresh.

Hope so, EMC looks done in so was expecting Yang to at least get some minutes.

Can't see Yang starting, especially as we get the extra couple of says rest. Depending on how the games going try and give him some minutes at the end.

Expect him to get some game time against Oxford though.

They're irrelevant to us for the rest of the season now. In fact, it'd be good if they picked up a bit of form to take points off the teams around us.

Think he'll definitely get game time but Lampard has the luxury of playing players in form virtually at will .
We now have a bench of quality replacements/game changers so Yang will have to earn his place.
Currently EMC is undroppable and should start every game , especially the big ones . He looks fully fit and firing for the first time in a whilem

Looking forward to watching the inevitable 20 minute long reel containing all 58 Esse back heels and pirouettes tomorrow.

Personally think he knew that and it caused his head to drop a little.
