I've seen a lot of negativity around yesterday's result and all of a sudden people are questioning Lambert's decisions and if 50% of the squad are good enough.
Yes we played terribly yesterday and the management and coaching staff got it wrong, but, lets remember that is our first loss of the season and we also had 3/4 key players out.
It's all about how we bounce back from a loss, don't be so concerned yet... and please STOP MOANING.

The thing is some of the mistakes were obvious before the match even started. For instance, Edwards is a walking time-bomb at wingback as well as not being able to actually defend. Nisiala was woeful and probably should have been subbed after 20 minutes. Judge cannot and will not play upfront and given that we know Jackson can't play up top on his own that was never going to work.
You could even go further and make a case for 3-5-2 just not working very well for us. Sure we've won a couple playing that way but usually we revert to a diamond or 442 before we turn the other team over.
Just so many obvious things before the match even started so I think people have a right to have a bit of a whinge. No need to go over the top but people should vent.

It was all wrong yesterday to include the subs but you're spot on, no need to go over the top with the condemnation as PL's got a lot of things right this season so far.
Bad day at the office, easily rectified over the next couple of games. |  |

Having a good old moan is half the fun of being a football supporter |  |

It's a miserable Monday morning. Everyone's back at work, weather's sh1te and we lost to fcking Accrington. Nothing quite like a good moan :) or :( |  |

I wouldn't say bad management.
The way I look at it, Lambert probably had Rotherham at the back of his mind, who would arguably be a tougher game than Accrington.
He wouldn't risk his players coming back from injury in a game that some of the fringe players could/should see off, just happens they weren't up to it in the first half yesterday and the game was gone by then. |  | | |

I agree Stokie, decisions were terrible and I called the loss before the game when I saw the line up/system. Yes, people are allowed to vent of course but I've seen people completely question Lamberts integrity after one loss! Seems ludicrous
Managers get things wrong, players have poor days - fans don't need to be so fickle and get on their back so much after one loss. I can understand if we don't bounce back and lose 5 on the trot.
We need to keep the feel good factor | | | |

Agreed, I guess my post is aimed at those going OTT...don't worry, I did have a moan yesterday too!! | | | |

Didn't we beat Gillingham playing Judge and Jackson up front?
Not defending yesterday's performance obviously. |  |

I'm not sure beating Gillingham 1-0 is a good case for having Judge upfront. The lost 3-0 to Oxford in the next match and in that match Judge floated around quite a bit if I recall.

It's a nice reminder if nothing that we have done absolutely nothing. There has been a sense of we'll this is a stroll.
We have been ok, but the season so far has probably been more of a well the other teams aren't that great rather than we are that good, and we are still a long way from a Championship side.
It could do us the world of good that defeat yesterday. [Post edited 21 Oct 2019 14:42]

Agree with you here. It's never going to be a walk in the park, there will be stumbling blocks along the way like yesterday. It's how we react that counts | | | |

Why do some people ALWAYS react like this? It’s just people letting off steam after a disappointing display. |  |

Because some people see the bigger picture. Nothing wrong with letting steam off or having a moan (as ive said above) but some people are going into complete meltdown over ONE LOSS! People saying we haven't been good enough all season etc etc. | | | |

it is of course possible to see the bigger picture and also moan about a rather feeble performance | |

I haven't seen all the games this season, but of those I have seen, only the EFL Cup game against Gillingham was convincing. |  |

We're not convincing at all. This season has been more of a reflection that the standard of the league is poor rather than we have been great. | |

Top with a game in hand, won 8 out of 12, scored 21 and conceded 7... maybe the standard is poor, but they're not exactly unconvincing stats are they? | | | |

I've been convinced we can deal with the majority of the league's strikers/attackers. I haven't been convinced we can out play teams with good football consistently. Depends which way you look at it. | |

Not necessarily no, but it sort of renders this line incorrect;
'Judge cannot and will not play upfront and given that we know Jackson can't play up top on his own that was never going to work.' | |
