Relegation

saw this quote from Lampard: “We can control our games, but we can't control Burnley or Leeds. And as much as we sit and stare at our phones and analyse their remaining games, it won't make a difference unless we do our thing."

You there Frank?

By the sound of his interview Lampard is still behind DCL but he seems to have had enough of the shambles Keane was putting out every week. Same with Kenny. When other players are fit they don’t play.

Would say Holgate fell lucky Godfrey got injured as he would be on the list too, probably saved him being sold on

Out of interest has anyone been on the Burnley or Leeds forum and how has their mood changed over the last 24h

Spitty the red

A lot more recent than that.

On the Championship sites a few Leeds fans have joined since Saturday but also a few Everton fans too. Burnley fans still in a buoyant mood.

So his first full training session was the day before the match. He really shouldn't have been on the bench but it seems that Frank and Dom have agreed he be there in case of an emergency i.e. being behind.

From the gaffer.

Lampard said: "Does he want to play? Yes. Does he want to contribute? Yes.


"Unfortunately I have not been able to have 'the best' Dominic since I have been here because he has either missed games or has been coming back from injury.

"He hasn't really had that run of form, that run of games, that all strikers need to then get into that place where we feel like we are going to get the goals out of him which he's proved he can produce at the club - that's why he's a top player for the club and for England - so it will be great to have him back for this run of games and to keep him fit."

Dom won’t get a sniff all season with Rondon fit. Believe me Dom has laid his bed with Lampard and EFC

Could be a done deal with Arsenal

Sunday - Thursday - Saturday- Wednesday - Sunday I think

I much prefer this to the 10 day gap between games we’ve been having.
We see teams around us picking up points, jumping ahead of us and can’t do anything about it.

It shows in our play as well. Leicester caught us cold and we couldn’t live with them for 20 mins or so until our players got some minutes in their legs.

Sounds like a very nasty injury for Dallas at Leeds

This alone makes it worth believing in Lampard

If we drop will have to get used to that in Championship!!

Heard because it was a blue flare and Russia have blue in their flag they are looking at a 30 game ban for war crimes.

I heard we are being sanctioned for the same reason and Richy cannot play a game until Putin relinquish’s his power

Need to at least avoid defeat vs Leicester and hope for positive results in our favour elsewhere. Unlikely that both Leeds and Burnley games will swing for us next weekend. Have to hope Leeds lose and Villa take a point at Burnley.

For a side that's taken 6 points away all season, 4 points is probably the best return we could hope for from Leicester and Watford. I'm not sure we are up to that but we have to win one of those and there would be huge pressure going to Watford on the back of yet another away defeat.

Looking too far ahead, but the final game is a huge worry to me. I feel it negates our game in hand and puts the pressure on to secure the points we need beforehand.
