Bad game management mate , why not tighten us up and go 2 banks of 4 and wether the storm rather than stay wide open ?

We are protecting a lead but we threw it all away .. sill second half so poor from lanpard

When it’s 2-1 I agree. I’d have done Saka and maybe even Brau and Sheaf if you want to hold on. Once it’s 2-2 we’ve just got nothing to chase a game if the first XI isn’t working. We’re clearly going for a score one more than you strategy, I’m not sure we are built for weathering storms.

Poor game management by FL. Needed to get subs in sooner and change things up when momentum started to shift.

On the penalty spot running on to a ball coming across is a better chance than a pen really. It was a shocking miss.

Really was a game of 2 halves. Frustrating to concede in the manor we did. Find the game management from Lampard almost stubborn at times. Grimes and Torp were both limping for a while, wingers were anonymous for the latter part of the half. Would have thought Sakamoto had more minutes in him than that if he made the bench. Unlucky from Wright there at the end, slightly leaning back on it.

Positives, we look so much better going forward if we can be more clinical, then even better. They look like there is a lot more fight in them so far this season, these are the types of games we were going on to lose at this point a year ago.
Goal scoring records being broken.
Still unbeaten in the league, it took us 8 games to get to 8 points last season.

Bobby Thomas lets the intrusive thoughts win all the time. Makes such stupid decisions every week.

We looked tired in that second half . Drained , subs was needed earlier in my opinion. We can’t leave it until the 85th minute for any player to make an impact. Norwich will beat us next week I hate to say . ( in my opinion)

A team with a defence this poor do not end up in the top 6, never has never will.
But it’s early days and we need the management to sort it out before we lose to much ground, losing a bit of confidence in Rushworth he should be more vocal and command his area

Couldn’t agree more, you look at our bench and there’s hardly anyone on their (apart from Saka) that I think will turn a game around. It’s full of back-ups and like-for-likes rather than alternatives or game-changers. Obvs not every bench in this league is going to be full of game-changing players but there’s very little on our bench that excites me.

You're not saying players like Allen aren't good enough? What are you suggesting? Better players? The likes of O'Hare (or similar) to become squad/rotation players? That can't be right? We can't have good players on the bench. We're only coventry city! We should look at improvement players for the bench (like Rapha, Andrews and Brau) and then not use them!

Not read every post, but not sure people are losing their shit.

Calling out poor performances, a keeper who has not covered himself in glory at all (and whom we were willing to pay £5m for) and a bizarre lack of changes is entirely justified.

Doesn’t meant anyone is FL out etc etc etc.

Good start to the season overall , lots of positives and much to work on .. hopefully a good couple days sees us strengthen in key areas

It does make me laugh, last week we had more than enough and needed no signings but this week none of the backup players are good enough to come on.

As the first half showed, and QPR last week too, we are clearly capable of being an excellent team at this level when we play at our full capacity. It’s on the manager to figure out how to get us playing like that for as long as possible in games and to adapt when the opposition change it up. Still, early days and 8 points from the first 4 isn’t too bad going.

If I was Hull and watched our game I wouldn’t budge for less than 15m, they can see how fragile we are.

Not the main culprit by any means but he was poor today and really struggling in the second half.

Allen and Sheaf could have come on at 60 and I think it would have been fine. Also Sakamoto of course.

Agreed.

But why then play him for 90 in what's a fairly meaningless fixture in midweek?

It's baffling.

I said this mid-week and got pelters for it. Always want to win matches, but did not want to win that match against Millwall enough to play grimes for 90 mins.

Love the guy to bits but Lampard has to take a large portion of the blame there. Midfield was gassed and crying out for some legs but he keeps Grimes out there when he’s off his feet. Bobby with a couple of brain farts (again), a calmer head is needed at the back when we play away from home and under pressure.

Disappointing second half. Sakamoto sub too late. Too many mistakes at the back leading to set pieces which we are hopeless at defending. Keeper still looks shaky. Wright should have won it at the end.
I am a bit pissed off with that to be honest

He was poor first half v Derby but then popped up with 2 assists and a long throw so it was glossed over.
And he's the main target today because of all the players that had an off game, he was the only one who had a like for like, good enough, fit enough, replacement sat on the bench. BTA had Saka but he clearly wasn't fit enough. Of everyone else who had a poor 2nd half, there were no immediate swaps. KKH was and is the like for like replacement. The only position we could make a sub change atm and improve or at least stay the same, is RB. Yet that change wasnt made. Why?

So its not a dig at MVE, its a dig at Lampard for not making the only change on the bench that doesn't immediately weaken us as an 11.
