Grimes has gone which has totally cost us.

We look jaded and badly in need of re-enforcements

I don't think we should go mental but if we fuck this up how long until we get another chance?

The loanees all go back, the better players get picked off by clubs that finish lower than us but will pay them more and we're looking at a rebuild with Vin & Gus type money.

I said the other week I can see a very real possibility of us fucking this up. Not saying they will but its not that hard to see them dropping to second while people keep saying the title doesn't matter as long as we go up and then slipping into the play offs the last couple of weeks of the season. If that happens I don't see a trip to Wembley let alone winning.

We needed to actually spend money this window and it’s started to feel like we’re not going to.

Said the same. The lead should not have covered up the poor first half performance. Lampard didn’t recognise it.

Its truly awful.


We cant keep clean sheet.

Lucky to only concede 1 vs leicester and Millwall. This formation is suicide and stupidity.

Dreadful defensive performance. We look better with Latibeudiere in the team. Unfortunately our better form players play in the same position - Esse and Sakamoto. I think we need the former in the 10 and Sakamoto on the right.

Esse did nothing other than one strike of the ball

Torp's abysmal free kick at the end summed up the entire night, I'm mad at myself for getting excited when Saka was fouled

I know it makes me sound fickle but I’ve been thinking the same thing for a few weeks. I’m 66 soon and don’t think I have the energy to go to every game again if we balls this up.

could have prime ramos and pepe at the back, when balls get through midfield with ease every single time, one or two will go in. Grimes is just not doing what he is there to do at the moment, and the ones next to him are not helping it neither.

Can’t blame the midfield for those goals, you wouldn’t see that defending on a Sunday, good job our home forms going to get us up

Norwich must surely be our official bogey team. 0 wins in 16. At least we’ve actually beaten PNE a few times at home.

Miserable away day.

No other teams would start with 4 out and out attackers away from home that’s why.

Lampard should see that a defence with such inexperience can’t handle this formation with the pressure of a run in.

JDS, Thomas and Kitch were utter utter wank. Torp and Grimes looked leggy, we desperately need more options in the middle. The save money for the Prem cucks can sit down, we'll never get a better chance than this, King should be chucking everything at it.

We had one in Eccles and Lampard chose to play Asante. Awfull.

We wont ever keep a clean sheet. Rishworth has done his best. But my goodness any thick c**t can see we are wide open when teams attack us on the break.

Grimes has become a hindrance I fear, not for his ability, but for our overall reliance on him him being the one to start everything.

Teams just press him, allow him to give it to the centre backs and they’ll likely give it away when they go for a high percentage ball.

Honestly, I think a lot of us are feeling this and I get the impression the players might be starting to think it too. They look bewildered

These players haven't got the fight or the bottle to win over 2 legs in the play off semi's. We have blown this.

That was utterly fucking pathetic. Almost as bad as the Birmingham debacle.

It's like Lampard has an inability to learn from previous games. We. Cannot. Play. This. Way. Away. From. Fucking. Home!

We've had 45 minutes of decent football away from home since the Middlesbrough game, and that's simply not good enough.

Apart from MvE the defenders were individually fucking shit tonight, but even taking that away, they're constantly exposed by teams being able to break fast through the massive gaps in midfield and run at them. It's pathetically, unacceptably naïve to keep playing this way when it's fucking blatantly not working. Keep playing like this, and I see a string of defeats away from home, and little else.

It also doesn't help that we've seemingly signed a dud in Woolfenden. Kitching's bang out of form and needs dropping, but would you put Woolfenden in? Not sure I would.

We are completely over run with grimes being the only midfielder
Emc and Esse were so poor at tracking back saka much better
1-1 we go on and win
