That really fucking pissed me off.

That was a stinking performance. Only Grimes and Sakamoto with credit.

KKH and especially Woolfenden look like back ups and no more. On that performance, neither is close to the starting 11.

I don't know how much was enforced, but that was a very, very poor team selection. With such a makeshift back 4, it desperately needed better protection. Should have sacrificed a forward for Torp, or if he wasn't fit enough, Eccles.

And I fucking hate Wrexham, the plastic cunts.

Its a weird one. With MVE and Thomas being forced changes, why did he choose this as a time to rest JDS too and change 3 of our back 4? Just looks a very silly decision now. If we had all 4 fit, then rest one, but with 2 forced, try and keep as much of the defence as possible.

Wolfy? Dog more like

 

[shmmeee]

We missed MvE's dynamism completely.

The difference between him and KKH is stark from what I've seen of KKH so far. It's not even close.

We got really lucky no one bought MvE in the summer.

Wright has to stop ghosting for weeks after international duty. Happens every time.

Dasilva was ill in the week and hasn’t trained.

 

[Jamesimus]

Fecking hell why do so many players have calf injuries atm

I would suggest lots of running around, at speed, often, for long amounts of time could be at least partially to blame.

 

[SBTasha]

In a nutshell…..we got bullied tonight and re enforces Lampards hints at how important the Jan transfer window is. But we’re still top of the league. So not the worst time to lose a game.!

 

[PUSB-We_are_going_up]

Need a LB, CM and a forward in Jan methinks

I thought he was still on international duty?

Can we charge them £50 a ticket for the away game

 

[RegTheDonk]

Didn't create enough and they had a big bloke who took his chances.

JDS has missed some training through illness.

 

[SkyblueTexan]

13 is an unlucky number after all. Have to be Watford and Oxford fan for the weekend

 

[Marty]

Did MVE travel? He was picking up a takeaway when I seen him last night.

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

Next game

MVE
Thomas
JDS
Torp
Simms

Need to come in

Nice idea, £150 for the Jan window would be useful.

 

[Adge]

Well Moore led us a merry dance as usual. The cart horse turns into a prime thorough bred against us for some reason.
Important thing is now how we react on Tuesday against Sheff Utd.

 

[PVA]

Brau must be really bad by the way.

Bidwell looks absolutely finished yet he can't get ahead of him or a poorly Dasilva.

 

[MikeyMoo]

Wright is lacking service, clearly, balls through the midfield and defense which he doesn't get from Allen, but does get from Torp and Rudoni.

 

[Jamesimus]

Did MVE travel? He was picking up a takeaway when I seen him last night.

What did he have?

 

[SkyblueTexan]

Hey Rudoni get up off your ass and go play. The rest of the players suck

 

[Yorkshire SB]

Wright dreadful, as were the 3 non regulars in defence.

Allen had a hard job tonight but didn’t do well.

Positives were EMC and Saka, thought they were both good tonight.

Think the list at the minute is a LB a CM a CM/AM and a couple of forwards TBH. Just can’t risk having to play the likes of Allen and Eccles for extended periods and we have nothing off the bench to change a game.

 

[Marty]

What did he have?

Sushi. Very nice place too.

 

[Dougin]

Must have missed but why was Thomas on the bench?

Because Lampard though woolfy would be enough and he could rest Thomas.

 

[Warwickhunt]

23 pages on a match thread before kick-off is mental...

I don't mind losing but not too Disney FC for God's sake!! Totally fucked my weekend that has

 

[CCFCSteve]

Unbelievable bedwetting here. All the performances, results, underlying data, you name it so far this season suggest we are one of the best teams in the league, and a 1-goal loss away to Wrexham with several first-team players missing doesn't change that.

Exactly. We had a totally different back four and it just didn’t look the tight unit it usually does. You swap one out and we’re probably fine, three and it’s a struggle. Lampard left us too light in midfield and forwards just didn’t turn up

 

[DT-R]

Martyn Waghorn on Sky punditry tonight would've done a better job that Wright tonight!

Normal service resumed for Haji Wright.

Woolfenden is awful.

Yawn

You've lost your mind if you think Santa's bringing that lot

 

[Earlsdon_Skyblue1]

Can deal with a loss, but against Wrexham, with that cuck Sheaf in the team? Nope.

Team should walk home. Pathetic.

 

[Jamesimus]

Sushi. Very nice place too.

Lovely, healthy too. Good for him. Nice to have a bit of positivity in the thread.

 

[clint van damme]

What?!

 

[fernandopartridge]

Really, really disappointing but just backs up the point that the squad is too thin.
Missing 3 of our usual back 4 & 2 of our usual midfield 3 was always going to be tricky.

With that said, I'm surprised we lined up as we did or at least not change it up sooner, everyone could see what was coming.

At half time Lampard should have thought about the game as it was and closed it down. We hadn't really threatened so should have just tried to close the game out.

 

[stupot07]

which one? The kid who has a handful of league minutes or the 2 players who you may risk hurting themselves again if they play say an hour or so? It's not that easy a call is it.

You play Andrews. Or you start with Eccles who's been back for a few weeks on the bench and then take him off after 60. What would have happened if Allen or Grimes got injured in the first 5 minutes? Would he not have put Torp or Eccles on or Andrews?
