People said the same about Brau and Bassette and Tavares and Jordan Ponticelli. At some point you have to accept a player isn’t playing because they aren’t good enough.

When he plays, I'll judge him. This lad has played lots of premiership and championship games. All those above haven't. When he has played, he has done okay. Clearly another one Frank has fallen out with

Woolfenden has a better pedigree than all of those players put together though, it is a bizarre carry on and people are quite rightly baffled and asking to why a player we spent a lot of money on is not even getting a look in?

Looking at his recent minutes:

Preston - sacrificed at HT as playing v 10 men
Southampton - Excellent
Swansea - Clean Sheet
Ipswich - don't think at fault
Stoke - a few wayward passes

Is he the scapegoat for Ipswich (H)?

I actually agree with this, he has been no worse than the lord and saviour Bobby Thomas has over the last few weeks yet has been thrown under the bus

With KKH im not sure why we try him in another position rathe than just on the right. He has fast and better at attacking than defending.

Stick him higher up the pitch even in the right centre if chasing a game.

Im not even sure MVE has been good enough lately to be keeping him out , frank has the players to rotate and rarely does

A couple of people above have guessed thst woolfie hasn't settled. I heard that rumour a few weeks ago. If true would explain his lack of playing time.

I'm surprised KKH didn't come in for Milan during the spell of games where we had illness and a depleted squad (unless he was also unwell.
Especially as MVE also looked absolutely battered for a bit

Most of his appearances for Ipswich were in League One.

Was the rumour regarding BTA criticising his vinyl collection or Simms stealing the exercise bike? Don’t want to give too much away regarding what I’ve heard…

So we jumped the gun and replaced a player who wasn't even out the door and subsequently, we are left with a player who is barely going to get minutes and is probably pissed off at his lack of football - Shrewd move

Are you counting the 3 appearances across two seasons as two of those three years in the Champ?

He’s played about as much PL football as Simms but for a worse team

He was 17 when Ipswich were in the Championship in the first two seasons and was on loan - in the promotion season he played 41 games

He played in league one when young and 3 years in the Championship. Not sure what your point is. Highly thought about, by Ipswich fans. Amazing how you are making him the fall guy.

I wouldn't bother, if I was you. He has played plenty of championship games, highly thought about, by Ipswich fans. How you are putting this on him, is ludicrous.

I think the point is he has only had 1 season as a Championship player.

I don't think they have a point. Another go at someone who is not being picked. It is pathetic.

I'm not having a go at him, just pointing out that what you're claiming isn't actually true.

It's something like 130 appearances in League One compared to 55 in his whole career (including with us) in the Championship.

Too early to judge Luke,I think he deserves a chance now tbh.
And by the way he's played 198 games in the Championship.

Has he played in the Championship? Yes. Has he played been the PL? Yes. The thread is all about having a go, when he has hardly played for us. When he has, he has been okay. Like I say, it is pathetic.

I agree that he hasn't played enough for us at this point but most of his career has been in League One up to this point.

15 Prem appearances, 55 in the championship..Is that not enough experience? I don't get your point

We haven't lost a league game Lati has started this season (small sample size yes but still). Get him back in the side for some back to basics defending imo. Thomas after his indiscipline and then totally lackadaisical performance last night needs a spell out.

I'd be even more worried than I am now if I thought for one minute Lampard factored fans reaction into his thinking on team selection.

Not my point...

Lati hasn't started over Thomas for ages, it wasn't going to happen last night.

We've not kept a clean sheet with him in the team this season ffs

I wouldn't start Lati over Thomas, but my point is the fan reaction is an irrelevant factor.

After last night, and I don't see this happening, I would go 3/5 at the back away from home with Lati one of the CBs.

Thomas should have lost his place in the side for a period after that Birmingham red card, absolutely brainless

I'm saying there was a consensus of opinion that Thomas is a much better player than Lati.

How would you know? He has had hardly started for us. What are you basing this on? He plays okay, when Thomas is out. Then gets dropped. Same as Simms. Scores 10 goals, in 12 starts..Wright comes back. Zero goals in 15 games, straight back in . Wright now 2 from 18.
