“ On the subject of Giroud, can I please ask if i'm the only one, when Reece is putting some of those crosses in, that would prefer him as an option off the bench over Bats?”
Today Lampard preferred Barkley off the bench to either of them.

New manager bounce worn off. Frank feeling the heat a bit. I do like what he’s tried to do there, and think he should be given time to see how it goes..unfortunately cash cut throat nature if modern footy, time is a luxury.

Brummie was I watching a different game because it seemed to me that Barnes was in James's back pocket the WHOLE game

As much as I hate to disagree with this, obviously subject matter expert, I must have been watching a different game to him as well.

Being taken apart to me is Eddie Gray against Eddie McReadie in the 70 FA Cup final - still who am I to dispute such a world renowned laptop pundit!!

A draw away against the no 3 in the league. What's the uproar about? Decent result.

I think Barnes's goal came off James's back pocket?

You must have your back pocket in an unusual place!

Re my OP Brummie are you a little concerned?

In a word Flash - No!

Nah I think he's fine this season, little chance of being sacked unless we fall dramatically off. The club wouldn't have expected top 4 this season, probably why (to my surprise) we didn't panic buy in January. If we spend big in the summer, which I expect to happen, that might change things.

The problem ain't the board, it's the am all big now got the fans on my side so I ll throw a strop because I didnt get a striker in january, while I continue to ignore 2proven striker i already have attitude that will see Frank depart,

I cant see what he s moaning about tbf, very lucky to be in his dream job, very fortunate to have got the job, and he has exceeded expectations, we didnt lose to west ham, Bournemouth, and saints at home because we needed to spend in january,

Haven’t seen Lampard throw a strop. Sounds like you’re moaning more than he is. He’s a new manager, and I’m sure he’ll make plenty of mistakes - just relax a bit and try to enjoy it.

Great season so far, 4th, still in Cup and Europe

Loving it, I just dont want the not spending wrecking a good season or reason why we didnt make top4, dont even think the board expected it, so dont get why Lamps seemed frustrated,
