    Some good thoughts in the OP. My table (with bold for the changes):
    Mac1
    Lampard
    Mac2
    Rowett
    Wassall
    Clough
    Clement
    Rooney
    Rosenior
    Cocu
    Pearson
     
    I detest mucking about at the back for its own sake. I hate ponderous football. I don't like creating a mentality in which a player's first thought is backwards. I hate it when midfielders come back into defence to collect the ball off defenders, when they should be further up the pitch.
    I love attacking at pace. I love players taking the initiative with a quick freekick or throw-in keeping opponents off guard. I like clever attacking set pieces. I want players to do everything to score a goal, to want to shoot and drive forward. I love to see élan all over the pitch, players playing with a smile on their face, a whirlwind of fast movement with both players and ball. A team should have at least as many attack-minded players on the field as defensive-minded players. Their first thought should be forwards. They try things and take risks to score a goal. I like pressing your opponents high as a team and winning the ball back in the dangerous part of the pitch. I like to see variety, continually wrong-footing opponents by sometimes running with the ball, sometimes passing it, going long or playing short, attacking down the wings and through the centre - always having options.
    Is that too much to ask?

    Completely out of his depth. 
    How many games have we played well in this season? Barnsley first half, Charlton first half. Struggling to remember more.
    Teams know how to stop us and Rosenior doesn't know how to come up with the answers.
    It was clear after Plymouth that out midfield wasn't working. Crying out for Knight there. He's not even put Oduroh on the bench to give himself the option to move Knight during the game.
    That's Shrewsbury, Fleetwood and Lincoln which could yield 2 points. Nowhere near good enough.
    Says the other week that nobody is guaranteed to start, mentioning players like Hourihane etc. Said he's not afraid to play these young lads, Oduroh and Rooney after they've done well in cup games. Yet the following game they don't make the bench.
    Bird is woeful at the moment. Absolutely woeful. Doesn't bring anything to this side at all. But continues to play.

    You can always rely on the match thread starting life as a hate-fest. After all, we're only 7 unbeaten in all games.

    Knight 2 year deal v v close, doesn’t want to leave and is 100% committed to the project LR has put forward to him. Bird in new contract talks too. Told he’s eager to stay too. Unsure how far along his talks are. Best news this window of it happens

    Seen a variety of teams now at the top middle and bottom.  They're all very poor and can't shoot for s***.  For the love of god get on the front foot and get a goal early doors.  For the love of god get Knight in midfield and stop playing Bird and Smith together.  For the love of god realise Collins is a target man and stop getting him chasing down on his own from the front.  For the love of good stop f****** about at the back all game when you have a bank of 10 that are just standing there.  And please switch play quicker from one side to the other, you can afford to lose possession sometimes in an attempt to move it quicker.
