We just need more control in the middle of the pitch. We need a massive ball of energy player in there.

IF we ended up in the PO's we're not winning them. Not getting promoted from the position we were in this team will be destroyed mentally.

Nah, always pretty confident for the home games,

Hopefully they have learn a valuable lesson tonight and we don't play that way away from home again. If so we should beat QPR. Baggies are shite so we really should confident there. Only Sheffield United away i'd be worried about,

The first 4 are more important. Win 3 of those including Boro and we’re laughing- and QPR/Oxford/WBA are very beatable.

Lampard definitely pissed off - good.

Hope the players felt that too, too many under par and weak performances.

I hope so, huge number of fans travelling to Norwich on a Monday night for that performance
Embarrassing.

So what would you do with those players to change it, bearing in mind we’ve got defenders who can’t defend, we just have to out score teams, if we don’t take our chances that’s what happens, won’t be the last game we lose playing like that
Click to expand...
Our defenders can defend (yes, I know that sounds a hollow statement after watching that), but they are constantly exposed by forwards charging at them because we play so open. Every, and I mean every, defender is going to look ropey against that type of exposure.

The issue isn't the personnel, it's the system.

Didn’t watch tonight - is it the kind of game where a different midfield player makes all the difference, or a tactical fuck-up from Frank? (Or both…)

If the wheels are well and truly off then of course I can see the case for bringing in the right player, but the immediate aftermath of a defeat is rarely the best time to judge that

A team can't be set up leaving acres of space in the centre of the pitch and not concede chances. It's all well and good having a high press but once that was breached tonight we were left with 5 players at the top of the pitch. Only MVE can be absolved from the terrible defending which then exacerbates the problem. Lampard needs to show more pragmatism in away games. It's almost like schoolboy football at times with all bar a rush goalie .

The fan base will be destroyed mentally also, if we blow it Doug will be lucky to see 20,000 up there next season, particularly if we don't add anyone else this window, things can turn very quickly in football.

I think we should just let the players we have do it.

Neither of the goals came from that though. They both came from our CBs being fucking awful.

I don't understand why Torp looked so laboured, given he hasn't been playing the minutes that others have. This was a game that needed a Jamie Allen energy injection.

To be fair I think we could have prime pirlo tonight but the lack of cover would have still fucked us over.

Nobody was tracking back and both goals were gifts really. Jds should have cleared the first and second... Well.

Bobby Thomas has spent the best part of a month off and returned worse for the break by the way.

Can’t believe posters aren’t picking out Da Silva. He was all over the show, leaves huge gaps when he fecks off up front and loses the ball.
The chaotic nature of our tactics once favoured us but it’s now favouring the opposition.

So many players off the boil though
Emc Torp and grimes were awful first half
After we scored we were great for 5 mins and after they equalised it was all us but we then messed up fiddling with the ball
Click to expand...

That’s what I said before the game, we win that comfortably if they all turn up and match them, Lampard knows too many went missing that’s why he’s fuming, if you put a video together of all the goals we’ve conceded you’d think you’re watching a Sunday league team

Not sure I do to be honest! Seems like even the opinions in the last page of this thread have wildly different views.

Can someone tell me what is wrong with controlling games and not being outnunbered in midfield.

We did the same vs Wrexham.

With respect I think you’re looking in the wrong place. No one can look competent as a CH in our system. You’re completely exposed to the side and in front. We need legs in the midfield and we need to tell our full backs to play in our half now and again.

After tonight I’ve lost a lot of faith in not just the players but the manager. Momentum is everything and we have none of it

At that point things would start to turn for King as well, especially if no money is spent this window.
