1 point clear, don't panic.

That performance is an embarrassment, what do you expect when you play 90% of the game whit the intensity of a pre season friendly.

There's really no excuses now, it been near on 2 months of poor performances and we've dipped into the market in January for reinforcements

Yet only started 1 of them. We've certainly not had the uplift we needed, in fact Esse's performance is already declining.

I'm a little worried now that Lampard doesn't have any ideas.

 

[stevefloyd]

One positive is that Hull lost. Can see them failing away now. In a three team race for 2 spots, I reckon.

I’m confident we’ll beat Boro.

I admire your delusional response but don't dare put any money on that, we have to score to beat anyone and that seems as likely as Elvis turning up in your local

 

[Tommo1993]

Near £4m spent on a ghost.

 

[Liquid Gold]

Lampard was excellent second half of last season.

Plymouth, Luton etc. it wasn’t great

He signs a player to bring energy into midfield and doesn't use him. Might as well have told him to spend that time with his wife instead.

 

[Finham]

He rarely uses Minny and I can't see Markola making a single appearance this season. So basically wasted 2 signings.

Yeah wtf were those signings about? Baffling.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Plymouth, Luton etc. it wasn’t great

The home form held up though. It has now been infected by these rancid away performances.

 

[baldy]

Robins had us great in the second half of the season and Lampard apparently loves the first half of the season.

Any chance of someone who can do a whole season?

Robins & Lampard need to have a baby together & get him up to speed with football management ASAP

 

[Sky Blue Goblin]

What do you even say about that.

Defensively I thought we were improved and Woolf had a good game.

Everything else…

 

[covcity4life]

Well done.

Hull dropped points and it's a tough game for Middlesbrough on Monday.

I think it best to steer clear of here tonight. It's going to be so OTT. Doom, gloom and gnashing of teeth.

We didn't play badly. We just didn't play well enough, or create enough clear cut chances, or test the keeper enough. It was indeed one of those days. Annoying

We are still top. Middlesbrough away at Sheff Utd and then us at home to Boro after, could define our season.

Frustrating day, but it's not a devastating result. Far from it.

Anyway, I will let a few heads explode and a few faces turn purple.

Hopefully it will be calmer on here tomorrow.

Yeah the social media influenced fans are gonna lose the plot tonight . Best to leave them to it

 

[Sick Boy]

Yeah wtf were those signings about? Baffling.

I doubt he was the one behind them. He should have been allowed to sign Bamford rather than it being blocked, though.

 

[Briles]

Boring. It was in our hands, and in a week or two, it’ll be gone.

We will see

 

[Liquid Gold]

1 point clear, don't panic.

10 points clear don’t panic
8 points clear don’t panic
3 points clear don’t panic
1 point clear don’t panic
Goal difference don’t panic
Still in the autos don’t panic
Only a couple points from autos don’t panic

 

[shmmeee]

What do you even say about that.

Defensively I thought we were improved and Woolf had a good game.

Everything else…

How can you tell? They didn’t try and attack us all game.

Least we won the league via opta before Christmas so no need to worry

Still within touching distance of 6th don't panic

 

[Liquid Gold]

Still within touching distance of 6th don't panic

We bought the ground don’t panic

 

[fernandopartridge]

If id said to any c*nt on here last season that we would be top of the league come feb, youd have snapped my hand off. So many of you forget that and have this "we desereve xyz" bollocks because we had a good start. Christ it annoys me

We're in relegation form now though and people are entitled to be concerned about that. There were hints that we were going to "go big" in January and what did we do?

1 prem loanee who looks like he's just come for a piss about
1 prem loanee who is clearly not ready for this level
1 signing made at the end of the window who doesn't even make his debut in the next game
1 signing of a player who isn't match fit

Lampard is now chopping and changing the team every week a bit like Robins was before he was sacked. I am very concerned after the last 3 games, on current form we will limp to the play offs.

 

[long way home]

Poor performance again and we are definitely feeling it. The players are not coping with it and playing with zero confidence. Ref shit his pants 15 min earlier and should of gave the red to Brown. But really players not understanding the situation you are not scoring playing triangles out wide thats for certain..

Everyone just need to get behind the team. Talk of sacking Lamps not worth debate. Just got to get on with it and hope the players turn it round.

Hes looking absolutely clueless atm

 

[Sky Blue Goblin]

How can you tell? They didn’t try and attack us all game.

Because we didn’t pass them the ball in our six yard box

 

[baldy]

We bought the ground don’t panic

We're in the Championship don't panic

On current form I'm not convinced we'll get enough points for that. Would be in the mid 70s

 

[ccfc1292]

Some of our fans are pathetic ….

One way traffic, created clear opportunities, tight at the back but we don’t take our chances ….

Fine margins

You are deluded mate

All this virtuous look at me I'm so positive shit gets on my nerves. We have utterly bottled it

 

[craigus12]

To be fair even if their CB had been sent off, I don’t think we’d have beaten the low block anyway.

 

[Great_Expectations]

Camden bars aren’t even open after the game.

Having to console myself with shit beer.

Waste of a pass out too.

Esse looks like what he is; an highly talented kid that lacks experience and tactical discipline.

Esse was the only one creating until the wright chance

 

[Liquid Gold]

We're in the Championship don't panic

We’re playing in our own city. Don’t panic

 

[shmmeee]

Esse was the only one creating until the wright chance

For both teams at times.

 

[Skyblueabo1111]

1 point clear, don't panic.

When should we? Does Frank know, we can have 5 subs and they can come on at anytime? Middlesbrough game in hand.
