Josh Eccles in the 10 looks lost too. Can we stop pissing about with that and play him in the middle.

Torp spends half his time going on adventures upfield anyway, stick him there.

Big lesson for Frank is that he's once again changed the back four that won the previous game and then failed to win the next one

Still 8pts clear of 3rd, didnt deserve anything tonight, didnt expect anything tonight if anything expected and was prepared for that so Im not even pissed off and can see the humour in it. At the end of the day Ipswich also lost, and we have to play Boro so that’ll be make or break and is a must win

Data showed Mid table form post Xmas would keep us in the top two, but our form is a lot worse.

Doesn’t matter how you do it, get in at half time winning you’re halfway there, but we have to get a 2nd like we used to, we were killing games in 15 mins, that defence gets found out in games like that,

And that's why we're now repeatedly being turned over away from home. Often against pretty average teams.

It is however we still look like we could concede plenty at home , it will eventually happen

I agree it will, I just think we can probably ride our luck and get a fair amount of wins at home still.

We desperately need to sort ourselves out away though.

Ultimately this is why Doug needs to start touting us around. He’s not got the resources to be a top tier side.

He deserves his statue we’re debt free and own everything. He’s sitting on 100m right now

Norwich were the better side all night.
We are so open and inviting teams to score against us it is ridiculous. It was apparent to some of us when we were winning every week and some of our fans thought the league was won on November

Frank needs to come up with a bit of versatility, especially away from home. Draws will do us away.

Getting away with a ridiculous formation at home. Getting smashed with it away. It has to change. We can’t keep playing without a midfield or full backs. Quick one for Procdoc. Still happy with your ridiculous Torp v Sheaf nonsense?? Good technically but constantly looks like he’s wading through quicksand.

At this stage and on form, I can see us slipping into the playoffs and end up playing fucking Wrexham!

well that was shit....standards were set very high early in the season, but they've really slipped recently
Click to expand...
I think it's because Lampard set us up to play with huge intensity early on in the season. Don't know if that's because he's used to the PL and their fitness levels but it basically seems like we've run the batteries down too early and now everyone has that little bit more in the tank than us. I think Grimes is the perfect example. He's not suddenly become a terrible player. He's a good player that's had to put in way too much and now his body can't do the things he wants or could do before without a serious rest period.

Basically it's like an F1 driver flying off into a massive lead at the start then halfway through realising the brakes are overheating and he's in danger of running out of fuel. So now he's having to nurse the car home while those behind him are catching up quickly and the last few laps he's going to be massively under pressure with a car that's close to breaking.

Having said that, today was Norwich so I'm not that surprised at the outcome. But the performances pretty much since Xmas have been poor and that is worrying. I thought playing BTA and such an attacking line up was either a brave or foolhardy move - turned out to be foolhardy. We can't be that open, especially away from home.

We need reinforcements to give the squad more energy and to add a bit of defensive backbone. I really hope Onyeka is a goer because I think it's the type of player that would make a difference. If we don't sign reinforcements I do fear we may let this huge chance slip through our fingers and I'm not sure I could take that level of disappointment.

He's not saying he want Matty James though as well you know.
By all means call him out for the things he says but no need to make stuff up

We need someone to do what Matty James did after our defeat away at QPR that season, and we need it desperately, that doesn't mean we need Matty James.

Suggesting we should start Lati when we didn’t even keep a clean sheet

Now we have everyone back fit, Lampard and his crew need to sit them all in the club cine and watch some reruns of what was working so well for us. We were playing as a solid team in a reliable formation. We’ve now become this chaotic rabble of individuals, many trying to do too much on the ball, some trying impossible killer passes, others getting lost in physical off the ball nonsense.
Play it simple again, string some passes together.
