We’ve lost one home all season. He’s not going to make wholesale changes for this game.
We’ve lost one home all season. He’s not going to make wholesale changes for this game.This one is at Lampard's door. If you keep doing the same thing, then do not be surprised if you keep getting the same result.
He played his favoured team and formation v QPR and guess what we got a sub-standard performance yet again. Even the home wins v Swansea, Millwall and Leicester were underwhelming.
He has to mix it up in some way. Yang or Esse will come in for EMC, but that is not a change that will make much difference. I bet he does not throw Frank the Tank in either although he should.
I'd go three at the back and tell MVE and JDS to get forward, Or something like that. Just try something to throw the opposition off track
...and less of the reliance on Rushworth for both saves and long punts, and MVE's long throws. Let's see some variety
A rest ffs played last Saturdaythere are a few that need a rest. I'd bench EMC if fit, def Wolf for Kitch and KKH for da silva. I think MVE needs a rest but if I'm starting KKH on the left then hes playing. But hes not taking any long throws!
The new fella absolutely has to start, weve been in the doldrums for too long now, i do feel if he doesnt make wholesale changes the poor run of form will continue, we have zero confidence at the back.
TBF to him he's played 97.5% of our league minutes this season and probably covered the most ground.A rest ffs played last Saturday
I agree.there are a few that need a rest. I'd bench EMC if fit, def Wolf for Kitch and KKH for da silva. I think MVE needs a rest but if I'm starting KKH on the left then hes playing. But hes not taking any long throws!

And proven in the leagueWhich is a bit mad really given we spent £4m on a backup right back in the summer!
A massively improved Da Silva is looking venerable again.

I think it is a myth that Wright is in any way forcing his playing down the middle. Lampard, same as Viveash at least before him can see Wright as a centre forward with the attributes he has, and he is the best in that position at the club.which is why I want him to prove that it's not Haji deciding where Haji plays and Frank starts him on the left with Simms down the middle. He's clearly the best option that's fit to start a game that we have to win.

To instil a change in system and integrate new signings during a less high-pressured match, I suppose. But I think we can win the game the usual way.He won his last two home games playing his favoured formation, like he's won most this season. Why on earth would you change it?
Oh yeah I agree with you that if EMC is out I'd play him left over Minnie. I just don't think he's the blocker to that happeningI don't want Haji on the left, only if it's the best option for a game or two. If we were in a good spot and not under pressure to turn form around I'd be fine with Minni starting. Main thing I don't want it Esse playing out of position when he's started pretty well.
...because he's one of them.Why would Wright play on the left when we have 84 wingers.
I just don't think he's the blocker to that happening
