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.

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.

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

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.!

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

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.

Brau must be really bad by the way.

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

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.

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.

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

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.
Click to expand...

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

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

Team should walk home. Pathetic.

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.

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?
