And what are you trying to prove with that we were 1-0 up after 91 mins, if assante could hit a barn door probably 2-0 I think the formation was working, can’t make it any simpler than that

I don’t want to be harsh or start rowing, so let’s just agree to profoundly disagree.

must be true then!

Mark was on a fixed term contract until 2027 I believe, so if we (the club) decided to terminate early we would have had to pay him off - we can’t simply put him on garden leave and avoid that… and certainly can’t sack a manager and then get paid compensation when they join another club, or else every club in the world would do the same

It’s a new regime pal. Lampard will have his own ideas and seems to view him as a striker.

Again, EMC wasn’t in form the last time Haji played. Lampard will start both of them, so unless EMC is playing RW, Haji isn’t playing LW.

It has been reported in several places that we got compensation whenever he got a new job.

Granted, we made it a contest in the first half.

Second half we offered next to nothing as we conceded way too much possession, sat too deep and were unable to hold the ball up to relieve the pressure.

The thing that’s most damning in that game was; despite being 0-1 up on 90 minutes, it really wasn’t a surprise they equalized.. or that they won it in time added on. It was a fucking shameful second half performance.

We have some tough games coming up. Lampard needs to win some games or the dissenting voices will get louder. King has made a huge call and needs to back his agenda for change up with money.

CM and old head pro CB needed ASAP

Yet, we should’ve went 2-0 up…

I completely disagree that it was shameful. In fact, it was an archetypal away performance that has done us over a few times this season. They had 5 big chances and 3 of those were in the one goal mouth scramble caused by Allen’s mishap.

We mostly defended well, the equaliser was a peach and the second was a lucky finish despite Lati letting Sainz down the wing.

It’s the games like this that really exposes just how behind we are in midfield. Norwich could beat our press, we couldn’t beat there's and that’s the story of this season and last season.

When we had Hamer, we had a midfielder that could run the game, Eccles, Torp and Sheaf show glimpses here and there but don’t do against there’s better teams in this division. It’s getting boring bringing up Hamer every week but it’s obvious that’s the single most important area we need to improve on.

Very true. And at the risk of inflaming the individuals who get very triggered by anyone saying as it is, it was as bad as anything that’s come before. Apart from Portsmouth.

Really? The performance was identical to our playoff clash in Feb 2024. We actually had a best team out that too (bar Sheaf).

Strangely, the narrative is that we ‘battered’ Norwich last year - no we didn’t!

‘We should’ve gone 2-0 up’ is a tired and moot argument. We got pummeled in the second half and eventually caved because nothing was done to relieve the pressure. The game came to an inevitable end. It was shameful because we bottled it.

I will try and answer this without upsetting anybody


I think a team can only cope with being under so much pressure in a game and more often than not if we approach games like we did at Norwich other teams will take their chances and we will lose more often than not

One was a worldly strike and the other a result of a foul on Latti at 90 mins I was feeling comfortable and wanting them to do some sh1thousery but we as usual too nice.

Be careful mate. When you argue with one of the agenda crew you argue with them all.
