Any wonder players are rumoured to be pissed off?

He's rewarding absolute dog shit because they are his favourites.

Grimes, bta , hamer and emc should be nowhere near.

Taiwo gets rewarded for his red card by coming straight back in.

Simms does well, fucked off again.
 
Wait until Wrights back, we will be starting with 9 of our players from last season.
 
Awoniyi looked decent before the red.

The Forest fans who came on here did say he's not someone you should bring on to try and change a game, though, and struggles to pick up the pace of a game. That's been born out.
Yeah they also said he's either world beater or carpet beater. He's never just ok.

Give it a rest, if players are not putting it in in training or turning up late or missing it altogether, they don't get in the team. That's a pretty fundamental principle really.

QPR came up with Adel Taarabt, a notoriously bad trainer and attitude problem. He kept them up himself

It's not me who needs to give people a rest.

Emc and hamer should be nowhere near our registered squad.

When were shit we always say the players out the team will save us and the manager is mad not to pick them then he does and they’re even shitter. We never learn
Would take a lot to be shitter then emc and taiwo today.

Hamer must have been for a bet. He can't run.

Hamer got 5 minutes, not sure he, or anyone for that matter, could be expected to do much in time

It's up to Lampard to show his man management skills now to get these players on the pitch and performing. Playing players we know are below the level is a one way back to the championship

What do you expect from a 5 minutes.
Its like when you change a striker then don't give him any chances, can't change when all we did was backwards and sidewards.2.
 
Can't even throw it far now either
Absolutely stupid tactic trying long throws against the wind. Also, anybody who saw Fulham warming up could see they were practising against free kicks & throw-ins but we still persisted with the same tactic. This is where the players are not thinking on their feet.

Where is the alternative approach? It was clear MVE couldn't get the range needed to get the ball even to the near post.

Hamer is a quality footballer. That has been proven at this level. Whether he is fit enough (and will get fit enough) is another question. Also he is being asked to play out of position for 5 or 10 mins at a time. Hardly a fair assessment
 
Clear favouritism in any walk of life causes nothing but issues.

Whether it’s conscious or not - even whether it’s justified or not - there’s going to be players thinking this is what’s happening.

You can get away with it when you’re winning, when losing it’s exacerbates the problem.

But if the coaching have told them to play that way, the player sees it's not working and go off script then the coaching staff just say they're not doing what they're asked to do and they risk being dropped.
 
But after the first 2 have only reached the edge of the box a review should take place and you have a valid reason for changing. It is not as if the long throw is actually working at the moment. Just like our corners & free kicks that don't beat the first man on a regular basis.
 
Who organises our defence at corners?
Every corner they had a man standing on his own at the corner of the 18yd box. we just crowded inside the 6 yd box and gave him all the space in the world.
Also, poor tactics to not leave 1 or 2 players up at their corners, perhaps JDS and Milan who won't win any headers but will pull 3 of theirs out of attack.

I agree to be fair, will be like a new signing
Who will trying not to get injured again before he leaves on a free transfer in the summer, along with Simms. That is if he actually returns this season. We were told he would be back after the International break, but I am not sure they actually said which one 🤔.
 
Last season we knew we needed a striker and a creative midfielder, we've now spent over £100million and still need a striker and a creative midfielder.

Of all the big money signings, the only one who has improved the team is Pinnock, and that was an area where we didn't need to improve.

Too many players have actually gone backwards, (Rushworth, Grimes, MvE, EMC) and the kids we brought in (yirenkyi and Cherif) look like they need a season in the championship as they obviously arn't ready for the PL which is hardly their fault.

We are having to use last seasons squad players like Sakamoto and BTA which we went out and upgraded with Tchaouna and Gboho because there are rumours of something wrong in the camp.

All in all our recruitment is looking suspect and there are definitely questions that need answering, Lampard can't be allowed to continue to just brush the issues aside.

Doug has a reputation of acting quickly when he needs to, so I wouldn't be surprised if changes are already being considered.
