If they’re fouled the pen should be given, shouldn’t have to go down properly get to it. Going down to try and win a penalty is not the way football should be going, refs need to be better. There’s been some right blatant ones missed. i am joking.. i presume theres a few still in the post chrimbo grumps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't imagine Nuge is strapped for cash so the enticement of a couple more years at a decent level at a club he has a history with would be enough to play for - He's never struck me as a mercenary When we signed Darren Bent he was 31 and I'm pretty sure we didn't pay him the reported £65k per week he was on at Villa... I don't know why we give this Nixon fella the time of day. He seems like a total clown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saw a few highlights on Quest. There was an earlier pullback on him in the box where a penalty claim was turned down. Didn't the commo guy on Quest in one Hull attack comment along the lines of Martin getting into the box at pace? He looks fit and even seems to have gained pace - but he still doesn't do the headless chicken running the channels, so I doubt FL will be interested.

Sadly not....yet,we still need that ball holding up to give the team time to regroup sometimes and I'd love to see the likes of Marriott,mount and Wilson bombing in off his layoffs.. One of the few sad things about lamps,not holding onto Martin until he recovered.. But,it's not as though waghorn,his replacement,is getting a lot of use either.

Don't get that deal at all. Marriott was a no-brainer as were the other incomings (whether they're good enough is a different topic) but Waghorn was a big financial gamble that wasn't necessary imo, and surely that's backed up by the little game time he gets?

Indeed, this is the most confusing transfer. Most people on here said at they time that they didn't know where he would fit in to the 433 system that was already apparent. It seems Lampard isn't sure himself either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do wonder if FL will need to compromise on his ideas (not that I'm 100% sure what they are!) to get us out of this league. It'd be interesting to hear how he thinks the realities of managing at Championship level tie in with his original perception. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally, I'd give him 7/10. For saying he's only just starting out and has things to deal with, with regards squad age, size and having to change the mentality of the players whilst also cutting the wage bill. And still getting performances out of them most of the time and well in the play off hunt after a total ball bag of a run of top teams to play over xmas. I reckon he's doing just fine. He needs a few seasons imo. I think Mel will give it him, not sure some of the 16 year old managers at the ground and on here will though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd have thought he's got at least this/next season and then it'll depend on how much we have progressed forward. It will be interesting to see how the squad changes next season for sure.

I agree. I still don't think Waghorn is fully fit. I think Lampard is keeping him in cotton wool. He will emerge and score 10 goals in the remaining games, leading to promotion and ultimately world domination. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t'oldu Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 Its a Jamie Ward situation?? They are managing his hamstrings ?? hence he is replaced around 70 mins or comes on as a sub. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It takes time to build a style and time to build a squad - This season is a gimme - If we finish in the playoffs and have a few good games that's just a bonus - This is just the transition season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
