Leicester dominated the first half, should have been 2 down.Milwall, we were great for 20 minutes,then dominated by Millwall.Not sure what people are watching. However, if Frank actually chooses the right team, we win this.

You're the sort of dunce who writes off relatively objective data like xG to replace with your own terms like "dominated". Why isn't it borne out in fact?

Leicester




Millwall

Mate, you are brain-dead. Did you watch the game! Instead of relying on data? We have lots of ball possession,because we go sideways and backwards. Are you blind? Sorry to blind people. You watched that game and thought we weren't dominated first half? Bizarre! Why do you lie about me, as well? Stating I asked for Frank to be sacked? You won't find one post from me , saying that? Stats aren't reality, watching the game is!

I watched the game from block 15 and you are taking shite, Leicester were better but we were not "dominated". We also made a tactical change midway through that half and were actually getting back on top. We then completely bossed the 2nd half.

The Milwall game, they had to put in that much effort their team was dead on it's feet with 20 to 25 minutes to go. At no stage did Millwall "dominate" us.

Stats aren't reality? FFS and you call other people brain dead

You mention possession but ignore shots and big chances.

If I wanted to make a anti Lampard post. Easy to do. His selection and formation has been shite, away from home.

Yet you make up shite about 2 home games where we beat and deserved to beat 2 good teams.

Cool story, have a good life as basically I don't think someone who didn't know Saka was left footed and when I explained who our midfield is set up didn't have a clue has watched us much.

So have a good life and you can scream into the void as I won't be able to see it

I did. I have a great life. I can see what is in front of me. We were lucky. We definitely have had bad luck, penalties not given, etc, but those 2 games, we were lucky. We haven't played well for 8 weeks, but hey keep deluding yourself. I actually think with new Frank,things could change, but let us not deny the last 8 weeks

I can't see how we are done if we draw.

It would be hugely disappointing, but we wouldn't be done at all, I would say.

If we then followed that up with a win against Boro, that wouldn't be a bad 2 game haul at all. Not ideal, but 4 points from 2 games would not be a disaster.

Hull and Boro and Ipswich all have tougher looking games than us this weekend.

Ipswich are away at Derby, who have 3 wins out of their last 4 games and are now on the very edge of the playoffs.

Hull have Bristol City. No guarantees of a win there and Bristol are still only 4 points off the top 6.

And Middlesbrough have Sheff Utd away. They beat Ipswich very, very recently and are very strong at home

Let's not get carried away. I do think we will win on Saturday, but it wouldn't be catastrophic if we didn't.

The one thing we can't do, is lose. I think that would damage confidence so much.

We are very strong at home though and with Onyeka, I think that will make us stronger to boot.

The last 8 weeks? We're playing at home. We've won every game at home except for one.

We haven't played as badly as many would like you to believe but mistakes have cost us. In these 8 weeks you stated we have struggled to put a side out until recently but this also gets ignored.

Instead of praising Ipswich how about mentioning how poor they are away? They have a run of away games. In their last game they got a dodgy penalty in injury time at home to Preston to salvage a point.

We have 2 home games coming up. If we win them like we usually do we will be opening up a gap at the top again. But even if we do you will find fault with it.

Come flying out the blocks take early chances and they will crumble.All about the start for me including getting the fans going instead of being nervous watching waiting for us to concede.

Not outside of Lampard saying it was a potential foot injury and they had sent him for a X-ray.

If he’s gone for one of those it’s safe to assume he won’t be back soon.

does 'potential' foot injury mean that it might also be his arm/nose etc? Surely EMC knows which bit of him hurts?

Whichever way you cut it Oxford at home is the ideal chance to get 3 on the board. With EMC out I’d be very tempted to play Wright on the left and Simms through the middle

Frank comes in for Rudoni...Torp pushes a little further up
I don't expect EMC to play unless anyone has heard differently....Wright on the left, Simms down the middle and Esse on the right
4-0 win......reasoning behind this....mainly down to a mate who is missing the game as on holiday (he missed Dervy away, QPR home, Millwall away and Sheff Wed away)

We haven't played great at home for a while now, rid our luck a bit, so I'd rather a bit more conservative wingback play even if Frank is in the team.
I guess Rudi will be played ahead of Torp, not sure if that's the best choice personally.

We weren’t dominated by milwall they had some chances and didnt score, now if you’ve of said Ipswich, that’s what you call dominated. we were awful, anyway, doesn’t matter how we play it’s all about the 3 points from now, wouldn’t mind being dominated every game and winning 2-1

You're right to write that Wright won't play there.

It will be Esse and Sakamoto on the wings.
