Me neither.
Only cos I promised my ST to my boy’s school friend who’s never previously seen a live game of soccer ball.
I actually feel like I’ve dodged a potential bullet.

The defenders need to be adjusted to defend again, instead of roving too far up field and losing the ball. They are not individually that bad but it’s hard to defend well when you’ve had to run 50 yards to get back into position.
This downturn in form I’m afraid is us being found out and our manager not having a clue how to come up with any new tactics.

And keep our home form going, that’ll do it 32 points, puts us on 90, why the panic
Click to expand...
We won't win all 9, I think we win 6 draw 1 lose 2 at a guess. So home form stays good but will give us low 80s and play offs. You would absolutely taken it start of season but going to be difficult given the context of where we were

Despite your hysterics and those of many others on here, we are still in a good position.

The atmosphere against Oxford won't be "toxic" . As I said, pathetic.

Nothings going to change.
If conceding to Charlton because we left Brau 1 v 1 when we leading at the Valley didn't give Lampard the wake up call to tighten things up on our travels then nothing will.

To be fair, it looked like he had tweaked it today but then we concede again when leading and a full back out of position is a contributing factor.

This happened last season after Wriggt returned from injury and we reverted to 4 at the back, we were poor on the road.

Lessons have not been learned.

Just got to hope we can regain our early season form, evening its for the play offs

You saw how both Norwich and QPR were compact and defended well after getting their noses in front. We couldn’t penetrate that. Why can’t we do that and where have our clean sheets gone?

One of my favourite performances this year was Wednesday where when we found we couldnt play around them.

We started to play direct into the channels and press high ending up having less possession than Wednesday.

Where is that adaptation now

We’ve regressed massively back to when Lampard first took over imo. The team looks and plays like when Robins was done here, not saying Lampard is - but build up, lack of intensity, quick play & actually taking shots has just gone.

I can’t say compare this game to QPR at home as that was a freak, but compare it to various other games earlier in season and we’ve moved the ball more quickly & freely, had shots & didn’t turn back/sideways as much. That’s all crept in over last 2 months and it’s been poor to watch and tactically naive. Just hope we can turn the corner

It wont be, I agree, I think the fans will get behind the team but we're not in a good position when you account for the lead lost and our away form.

The Plump Lass still remains silent bud.

None of us are guaranteed the Prem yet, but conversely it's Hull that I'm wary of right now. Bloody champo seesaw!

Cardiff away as I said earlier in the thread. Slow and ponderous with no real purpose on the ball.

Shameful imo

We ARE in a good position. We are literally top of the tree.

However we might not be in a good 'place', which is different.

The King Power is toxic at the moment, to suggest similar for Saturday is laughable and overly dramatic, but no surprise.

What seems like a psychological issue in the team, is whilst we seem to be passive in performance, there is an increase in rash indiscipline

Should have brought her on, might have shown more mobility than Grimes by the end.
