If we do blow this 13 points clear 5 weeks ago on Boxing day, no side EVER been that far clear and not gone up automatically

It will be a tag that never leaves us. I'm bedwetting after that

I'm so angry at this team. Individually, collectively, management team. What is happening here is embarrassing.

Whys he taken Wright off for simms when chasing a goal.

We've had a month of no midfield and just being played through easily. But even worse our cbs charge forward and leave the gap even bigger

Individual mistakes time and time again

No bravery on the ball. Torp im looking at you, you've bottled and jumped out of every tackle and when you get the ball you fuck it off backwards

Lampard needs to have a serious word with himself. But he also needs to publicly rip into this lot. Hes mollycoddled them for too long, allowing them to think this is okay. Its fucking not okay.

Perhaps if we got a decent referee we would win the league.

Dry your mattress m8

Still top by 3 + goal difference
Still 8 + goal difference clear of 3rd

But.. Frank does need to get a grip of the squad because the lack of confidence, from kick off to the final whistle, was fucking mystifying tonight. Even when we took the lead we looked a bag of fuckingnerves.

I have to be honest, if we do actually bottle this I will be done with football for a long time.

You live for seasons like this and to see it being pissed away against shite teams because Doug is doing this on the cheap or because Lampard is committing tactical hari kiri, it’s inexcusable.

Im done with football now because weve all seen it coming

Wheels are well and truly wobbling. We've let ill discipline creep into our game. Jds red, Thomas inexcusable head lose, bta assault tonight, even sakamota took their guy out.

That's the sign of pressure right there.

Roy Keane said it yesterday. Stop being scared of the challenge and embrace it.

I hope not but I've been a fan long enough to start getting worried as soon as people started the 'no other team' stuff.

Torp was excellent earlier on in the season. Now he is making very little impact. And Grimes is a shadow of himself too

I just don't get it

Self sabotaging behaviour, I’ve done it enough myself to recognise it. Fear of breaking through that glass ceiling leading you to torpedo your own success.

Lampard however should know much better. He could have been pragmatic away from home, instead he’s doubled down and taken an absolutely needless risk. Maybe he’s self sabotaging his own managerial career because if he fucks this up, his prospects for a top flight job are finished.

Teams have either learnt to deal with us and we're not good enough to adapt

Or our players are absolutely shitting it in which case Lampard has to take away the fear by getting them angry and psyched up.

And the players lacked passion and desire tonight too.

We should have been well up for it tonight, but as soon as Norwich got a little physical, it was like we just didn't want it enough.

Even prior to this season I've often thought it must be very weird playing for a team pushing for promotion. You're pretty much playing yourself out of a job.

If this squad gets promoted how many get on the pitch next season?

Would never suggest any player is intentionally throwing it away but wonder if that thought is buried in their head somewhere?

I don’t think we looked up for it all game long Otis. Go in one up at the break though, that was the time for Lampard to put more in midfield and be a bit more reserved.

He hasn’t learned from that Wrexham game.

I have thought for a long time this group has a weak underbelly. Then this season I thought Frank had got it out of them.

I was wrong, we have thrown so many points away needlessly.

You see MVE shouting at the wingers all the time. They need to track back and unless we score more goals than have ever been scored before like the first part of the season it will fuck us.

First half was alarming. The warning signs were there. Andy Marshall our ex gk and firmly in the Norwich camp btw, couldn't believe how open we were. He couldn't believe it!
