Only draw in that game was the daft c""t that got the work experience lad in the VAR room to draw lines.

Weren't you saying something similar before the Norwich game?

At the moment I would say we are not too good. We've lost a little bit of impetus of late and been vulnerable.

We need some tweaks and adjustments for sure, especially in how we set up away from home

i Say the same before every game on our day nobody beats us, we’ve had too many games where too many players have gone missing,

It's nothing to do with players going missing. We're set up all wrong away from home.
Just because something works for half a season it doesn't follow it will work all season.
People on here are calling exactly what's going to happen long before it does. It needs sorting.

yes it is, we’re set up to press high, at the start of the season Asante did it so was torp, gets us higher up the pitch, they never did it monday and look what happened, even lampard said if our levels drop that’s what happens, we have to be at it every game and we’re not , maybe fresh legs in midfield helps but even then every player has to be on it,

It's been found out mate. It's clear as day, we need to change it. We're getting over ran game after game away from home.

This whole thread is nonsense ….

The only fans who remember when a club blows a lead in the championship are that’s clubs fans, maybe it’s direct rival, and the team who caught them … that’s it period.

The idea that it’s comparable to the uk football population remembering Sutton is frankly embarrassing.

I love football but if you ask me to name the last club to blow a decent lead in the championship at the halfway point I couldn’t and nor can most people

I definitely think that in general, we need to set up differently away from home.

It's just not working.

maybe, just don’t think lampard knows any other way to play except attack, just can’t see us changing formation just so we can protect our dodgy defence, we’ll just keep trying to out score teams.

He did it last season and we won 9 from 10.
Admittedly injuries forced his hand, but he still showed he can be pragmatic.

Onyeka would change all that surely.

We need more stability in the midfield and not being just letting opposition players waltz through the middle

I think Onyeka would give us the opportunity to set up a little more conservatively when it's needed

think grimes could do with well needed rest and some help, never seen the Brentford lad play but he’ll only make us better. just don’t see Lampard changing how we play,

Or the opportunity to finally drop the troublesome CBs and play a couple more wingers.

All I remember is people saying how naive lampard is for attacking yet we won game after game

One loss to Leeds and people for on his back again and then quickly retreated back into the bushes

Maybe, maybe not - but as I lost my head with someone today - what’s the point of shouting I told you so about it, genuinely don’t understand what’s to gain - we may end up in playoffs / or worse - but it’s not on purpose.

it’s really tough watch currently, but we didnt not try as I heard someone else say, that’s just bollocks. We were not good enough to win, very different.

It’s gone. Don’t think the resilience or mentality is there to turn it around now. We’re terribly out of form and showing no signs of arresting it. Boro and Ipswich will go up top 2. We will finish in the play offs and succumb to Hull or Sheffield United in the semi’s.

Yep. It's been unraveling for weeks, it's like a slow death by 1000 cuts.

This is hurting me more than any relegation.

It's been a cowardly showing from the players for about 2 months. There's other teams that want it more than us, unfortunately. Could we turn it round? Maybe. My confidence in us being able to is rapidly running out though.

Definitely.

15 games go FIFTEEN! Madness to write us off just yet. We do need to find some form though.

I am hopeful that Onyeka will give us a real boost.

Too early to throw the towel in just yet.

Me, personally won’t even begin to contemplate doomsday hypotheticals until automatics are mathematically out of our hands.
That is guaranteed to be until at least the Middlesbrough kick off.

It’s typical cov, it really is. Im really hoping next Monday is the turning point. Oneyka straight in to do a man-marking job on Hackney and nullify his threat in midfield.

Next Monday night, is absolutely huge.

We’ve questioned their mentality over the last 6/7 weeks. Go and prove why it’s our year this year. If we fail to step up there, I’m pretty sure it’s done.

We’re def running out of excuses, weve missed Asante so if we’re still struggling after west brom then you’re probably right, still have the play offs
