Is this some sort of pre-arranged Boxing day comedy routine that we weren't told about? Lampard needs to drag them in and give them an absolute hammering because this is a total mess.

Thank goodness frank called them in on Christmas Day to make sure that they were at maximum preparedness      ?

It's always the daft vague comments like this that start it off so you can cut that poo out now.

Or we can sit here and blow sunshine up his arse.

Got it wrong today in about every aspect IMO. Game plan, starting team, subs..

If you don't do the basics right you don't win football matches. We don't do the basics right.

The whole Waghorn situation is a bit silly. If he's only fit enough to play 5 minutes, don't have him on the bench at all. If he's fit enough for 30-40 minutes, he simply has to come on ahead of Nugent after his performance against Bristol City. If he's fit enough for the full match and he just thought FloJo was a better option then he's an idiot 

Sums it up

Lack a strong defence to build our team on. We have the attacking ability but our defensive errors cost us and give us no confidence.

Not one of those back 4 who started today are good enough/ready to play in a promotion pushing team.

It’s more than the defence 

[sonofmidnight]

Oh dear. Imho we are badly in need of a calm leader who can keep this team focussed. They just seem to go to pieces and make silly mistakes. Again we have gifted goals. It's very frustrating when there is clearly potential and the referees been very poor.

[Ruud Aralliss]

Oh dear, woeful. We’ve created nothing today . 

[Sexydadbod]

Didn’t want to say it before the game in case Bryson had a stormer but he really is poor. Oh and to those who say he was a key member of the Cardiff squad that got promoted? He played in less than half of their games.

[DerpyDane]

Shambolic performance. Not only defensively. We haven't been able to create a proper chance in the second half although we've been trailing. We've praised our attacking play this season, but take away all our free kicks and we've only been able to score one goal a game on average. That's simply not good enough if we want to be a real challenge for promotion.

[Gritstone Ram]

Ref decisions?

Books Carson for picking the ball up from a deflected back pass. Sheffield United player deliberately kicks the ball away time wasting nothing is said.

[GeneralRam]

Time for our annual after Christmas bottle jobbing.

[Millenniumram]

Don’t just blame the defence here, we’ve created nothing going forward either. Been a shambles, and not for the first time in recent weeks either

[Anag Ram]

Overrun in midfield.

Petulance not aggression.

Outmuscled.

Frank will see.

[wixman1884]

I'm immensely frustrated, but I'd have taken this position at the start of the season. Expectations went through the roof after a brief purple patch earlier in the season and it's been frustrating to see the automatics slipping away since then. Truth is though, we have a new inexperienced manager and some young promising players in the team and a lot of room to grow.

I'm still immensely grateful that we're not where we were after that play off defeat to Fulham last season. Last season was dire.

We can whinge about refs all we want but when you defend like we have then it's irrelevant. We do not deserve to win matches playing like that.

How can it be shambolic when we totally dominated the first half. Play like that first half against Boro and we win. Unlucky Derby.
