A very good away performance. I have to disagree with those saying not a very good performance. We were playing away. Let them come at us then hit on the break. It's difficult to score when the other side puts a whole bus station in the way of their goals but we have the players and capability to hit anyone on the break. Even though they had most of the ball I was never worried. We scored more goals than they had shots on target. We deserved the goals we got with the quality of our chances.

Has this result helped anyone getting aboard the promotion juggernaut?

its A strange one, still look at the team when it comes out and think we’re a bit light but everyone just seems to have stepped up, was worried about losing key players but it doesn’t seem to bother us,

After the constant goes you had at me just for me saying I saw it as a winnable game?

You have seriously gone down in my estimations.

We had Bidwell , Woolfenden ,KKH , Allen , EMC and Simms among our subs tonight and thats without Rudoni and Dovin .
We have a very good squad , albeit light in wide areas , and one we can strengthen again in January

Just watch that 4th goal again and see MVE sprinting up the pitch to help set it up. Brilliant work rate as well as fitness, it’s no accident

Spot on, not getting too carried away but we’re getting results without rudoni and EMC, we’ll only get better once they’re both back,

Agreed.

The reason it ended 4-0 was because Millwall were aggressively chasing a goal even at 3-0 down. We made life easy for ourselves for scoring a good 1st half goal from a solid piece of pressing by BTA.

With the exception of Leicester away, we’ve been the better team in all of our games this season and that’s encouraging and a cause for optimism.

My concern is that the squad depth catches up with us so being able to rotate Haji, Torp, BTA and Sakamoto over the last 2 games is useful!

But Simms and EMC could?

EMC will be a starter at full strength. Including BTA, we have 3 wingers and you really need 4 as a minimum.

Anyone who thinks the squad isn’t thin is kidding themselves or high on optimism.

I'm not kidding myself , I agree we needed another option in wide areas . I just think BTA is showing what he offers to the team as a whole and in Brau and KKH we have options before we get to January

Incredible result, that 2nd goal couldn't have come at a better time. We looked ropey at the start of the 2nd and that killed the game.

To be able to take advantage of last nights results is brilliant.

Lampard is right that the squad size is the only thing that can scupper us.

If we are in the top 4 come January I expect the club will try and push

Doesn't mean we will get the players we want though , but I imagine they will try and do business

To illustrate what a tight league this is, we are the only team to have won their last 2 games! Just looked on other forums, Boro, Leicester and Stoke, and they are all saying ' Cov are better than us'. Prefer it when we haven't got a target on our backs!

Losing Sheaf and not getting 1-2 players in has left us light in forward areas but confidence and team spirit plays a big part in any successful side

We’re a top 3-4 side. Ipswich, Leicester, Southampton and even Sheff U have deeper squads than us and that could be the difference.

We’re still in October and in the 4 games we’ve drew, we’ve not really had any game changers to call upon from the bench.

Take today as an example, the subs we made worked because we were 2-0 up. KKH, Andrews and Wolfenden are not players that will grab you goals when chasing a game.

Ipswich just can't get going. It sometimes happens to relegated sides. I expected them to coast this season and had us 2nd to 4th. Because of their start I changed our forecast to 1st to 4th.

Leicester lost their best players and are starting to hit major financial difficulties. They have already borrowed every penny of their parachute payments just to keep paying their inflated wage bill. They're in major trouble if they don't go up this season. Nobody wants to take on their overrated players on massive wages. How about their points deduction?

A few of us mentioned Will Still as not having the experience for the Championship. I hope he keeps his job for a few more months.

Sheffield United Had them as mid table. Sold their best players other than Hamer. Replaced them with loans that hadn't played at this level before. Got rid of Wilder for what most saw as an inept manager. Now Wilder is back he has a squad you wouldn't want. Mid table now would be a good result for them.

So we're left with our 'normal' opponents. None of them kept their best players. We kept everyone we wanted plus strengthened. BTA has made up for where we needed to strengthen. What a player he has suddenly become under our new team.

It's starting to look like £30 for away tickets next season

Torp just a whack to the ankle, Frank hopes it's just sore rather than any real injury

Yep agree. Can sense some lingering frustration from Lampard that business wasn’t done but the hard work done on the training ground this summer is worth a new signing or two in itself for the boost in performance.
