A guy was kicked out early. Maybe it was that?

What the fuck!?

To be fair I didn’t think that we had a good enough squad to make the play offs, and it is still early days. But we are now 3 points off, and I couldn’t be happier. Again, it’s early days for FL , but I don’t think that this squad of players would have achieved 4 in a row with MR, love what he did for us, and respect him as I do.

i agree . I think that MR was out of ideas . Brilliant as he was and the club owe him so much but a change was needed and maybe the timing of it was after all correct

Nothing to do with Robins, it's the coaching staff.

Lampard has 2 elite coaches with him.

Robins lost 1 and fell out with the other, hired coaches that were not at the level of Aidy and Lawrence. Unfortunately in Football you're not given any time, we gave Robins a lot of time when you think about it.

People like to lay the blame solely on a manager, the only blame I lay on Robins is not finding a middle ground with Aidy and also replacing Lawrence with someone better. This is what got him the boot in my opinion.

I want Stoke to do well this season simply because of how much i appreciate what Robins did for us, but looking at the 2 coaches he's brought in, I just can't see Stoke achieving much, they won't get relegated under Robins but to think Robins will achieve top 8 with Stoke just simply won't happen.

Both goals were good weren’t they? Simms sharp term and determined play, Asante’s vision.

Swansea City 0-2 Coventry City: Ellis Simms scores as Frank Lampard's Sky Blues win fourth straight league game

Coventry were unable to parade new signing Matt Grimes at his forming stamping ground but they were still far too strong for Swansea as they made it four wins in a row with a 2-0 victory.

Not getting too excited about the table but very proud to sport my colours tonight in sunny Spain. 4 wins on the spin and a pretty convincing performance by some players who 6 weeks ago were playing second fiddle. The set up is working so I’m sure Frank isn’t gonna change this for whoever might be getting fit again soon 🤷‍♂️

A few things that stood out to me:

That's the most composed, confident and unflappable I've ever seen Kitching and Thomas. Both utter rocks who never broke a sweat. There was that great moment where Thomas realised he had the ball in space and charged forward, Swansea clearly weren't expecting it and looked panicked. Konjic-esque!

There were so many backheels and basically all of them came off! A sign of great confidence across the board.

Jamie Allen is digging into his tenacity. He's far from the most technically gifted player but dear god he's just everywhere at once, constantly in the opposition's faces and so quick to get where he needs to get. He must be a nightmare to play against!

Have to hold my hands up and say I had really negative feelings about Frank Lampard coming in as manager / coach whatever, but seeing the last results, he has gained a new (even if a very old and ancient!) new fan! He has breathed new life into the squad. They seem to want to actually listen to him and play the way he wants.
I loved MR, and truly wish him all the best for the future, but now I'm convinced that we had to move on.
I'm pushing 72 and remember the crazy, heydays of seeing 34 years of City in the top flight, and remember enjoying the promotion to the old Division One back in 1967, having first watched them at Highfield Rd in 1963. I was at the game when approx. 52,000 went to the Wolves game. We had gone 25 games unbeaten if I remember correctly.
I spent about 3 years as a stward at Highfield Rd, just because I wanted to be a part of the club I love.
I just hope I live long enough to see us back in the top flight soon.

There were others saying that DK had no ambition advocating that he should be putting his own money in and we should be buying at least 3 players because the ones we had weren't good enough.

The worst thing said was someone going on about not wanting to improve the team at all in January. Madness.

Swansea fans spent all week saying they won’t miss Grimes because of Franco who is so much better, only for him to make the mistake that led to BTA’s goal. Beautiful.

They also spent tge week saying they won't be passing it sideways and back all the time and be more progressive now Grimes is gone, also said Cabango would step up and show he's the right choice for captain....... None of that happened mate, they are a deluded lot

OK, yes, you're very old 😉
(It was 51455 in the ground - recorded, at least - and I was there too, behind the goal in the Covered End, never mind the not yet invented West End. And yes, it was 25 matches unbeaten, broken on the first day in the First Division. Heady days indeed).
