Lambert and Lerner you realise now that signing an experienced defender would probably have gained us two points today, and a great win. Well done, idiots.

Since he ignored the defence in Jan. The only training this side should do is defensive positioning/tracking and just defending set pieces.

Perhaps he should phone Phil Parkinson for some advice.

It seems to run a bit deeper, we all said we'd be a lot sturdier from set pieces with Ron back but he's just as fallible as the rest, what the fuck do they do in training?

What happened to the side that beat Swansea at home 2-0?
We were bloody good that day.
Why can't we perform like that again?

We can and do, but only for a half at a time.

So is it coaching?

To play high tempo, good football even for a half takes some skill and ability.
To not maintain it suggests either tactical naivety or a 'we've done enough now' attitude.

No we dont, the only time this season we have pressed the ball with such intensity was Swansea at home.

We played them at their own game and won, we passed them to death that day.

Our possession was superb.

We did it to the stripeys in the first half of the home game, then died on our arse after half time.

I put it down to early season fatigue at the time, and thought we'd get better as the season went on.

Fuck knows is the honest answer.
