Just a note on the 2 goals we gave away.
Kitching was caught twice sleeping, and his effort to defend the first one, very poor. he poses no threat up for set pieces (unlike Thomas, who again got the assist for Simms) Time for Wolfy me thinks.

Watch the tape. Kitching ball watching. Especially the second one.

Brilliant result. Their second was a bit of a sucker punch but I had faith we could get something out of the game. Didn't expect such a quick turn around!

They did to us what we had done to many this year, took their chances, very clinical.

It's too early in the morning to discuss individual performances but I'm glad Simmo got a goal for his effort.

We need to sort out our left wing. EMC always has a spectacular in his locker and JDS's footwork is fantastic but over the game as a whole we are vulnerable there and it's quite easy for opponents to nullify the threat. The comparison with Tats & MVE is stark.

Even if he tends to blast his crosses to the other side of the pitch [how tall does he think Ellis Simms is?] Tats is now always posing a threat, getting a cross in. I don't think there was a cross from the left all game

Please take Eccles off, his positioning when we're in possession is all wrong

Turns out I was wrong on this, he wasn't playing as a 10 anyway according to what Lampard said in the post match interview.

I've withdrawn my application for the vacant job at Middlesbrough.

I just think EMC overcomplicates his game when he could do worse than just beat his man and whip the ball in. He has a knack for tackling himself with step overs or taking too many touches.

His unpredictability is his power

Don't understand the negative comments on here for EMC. One of our best players.
A real threat.

Exactly. Sometimes it works alot and hes motm contender but when it doesn't ppl think he's been poor but the reality is he's a massive danger to opposition even when things are not firing on all cylinders

Yesterday he didn't get past his man much but he still has a good game imo

Him and JDS actually link up well. It's just different link uonto saka and mve and that's ok
