We're not any less loyal because we're concerned about the direction we're going in. Lampard hasn't been appointed yet, I'm allowed to fundamentally disagree with his potential appointment, and any process that finds him as the strongest candidate available. I'm allowed to have strong concerns...

I dunno, I always live in the moment and am a joy seeking carefree soul, Middlesbrough away felt amazing. First time I've felt that real buzz leaving a game all season, and like we were on the cusp of turning the corner yet again. Now look what we've done 😬

Yeah, there's always one. I think we've been spoilt these last 7 years and some people have forgotten what things were like before, if they think the end of last season and another slow start is a big enough deal to do something as drastic as we have just done. The end of last season was almost...

Exactly, King was banging on about relegation, but we're way more at risk of that now than under a manager who has proven to have turned it round from November onwards. It felt like we were on the cusp of doing that following the Luton and Middlesbrough performances, granted the Derby game was...

Yeah, I'm praying for anyone other than Lampard at the moment, although unfortunately it seems nailed on. I wouldn't have got rid of Robins for any of the names linked. But even someone like Eustace, I'd be delighted with over Lampard at this stage. Pretty worrying times if this is the decision...

Probably the same idiot that thought it's a good idea to sack a loyal, and proven good manager of 7 seasons.

Watch him still refer to us as 'our supporters' and not get a slight tear in you eye, I dare you 🥺 Will be tough seeing him manage someone else. Maybe in a couple of years time when we're back to normal and struggling to stay in the Championship season after the season, and King's long since...

This is elite sport. Of course they are all capable of playing this amount of matches. But, against other elite sports teams, the margins are so slim, and 1% less fatigue can make all the difference. When you have a fatigued Bobby Thomas running on empty against Hull 3 days after playing 120...

100% agree. And for how blatantly and visibly dead on our feet we were against Hull, who needed the points too, days after taking United to extra time in an FA Cup semi final, we still gave them a close game and only lost 3-2 somehow. I remember Bobby Thomas could barely run halfway through...

Last 3 from last season were nothing games, I remember I was surprised Ipswich didn't beat us more easily considering they needed the points so badly and we didn't. Ironically the last 4 games under Robins was our best period.

Inaccurate, we beat Leeds at home. Can't remember others, but that one at least is wrong.

Exactly, based on what he's saying, if he's telling the complete truth without misleading, he rates Robins, but because we couldn't find an assistant manager we had no choice but to sack a loyal, proven successful manager of 7 years (people are taking for granted how fucking rare that is), to...

Yeah, which is entirely reasonable to assume after those 2 performances. I was genuinely concerned for him before those results, but was then convinced we'd turned the corner and he'd done it again. Granted Derby was potentially a blip, but as he said in his post match, it takes a while to get...

There's some similarities, especially attitude, but I don't think he's like for like with Vik. I think he has more similarities in attributes (attitude as well) with Vardy. If he goes on to be half as good as either though, then we're laughing.

Well if there's any truth in the rumours that Robins had an assistant lined up around the October international break and then the plug was pulled he would have had an idea that the writing was on the wall. Would also explain his out of character behaviour after the Preston game around that...

Does anyone have more context on why Robbie Keane would be such a bad choice? He's far from my first choice, but based on the below I'd have him streets ahead of Lampard. At first glance it looks like he did a great job at Maccabi Tel Aviv, winning them the league for the first time in 4...

The things I would do now to have a manager who's proven that he's 'turned it around before'. 😥

I guess the only question now is who will the manager when Lampard is sacked? Maybe Rooney will be available by then 🤔

Who are? What standard? I mean, I've seen the list of bookies favourites 😳 Glad you were satisfied with the way he answered that question then.

Just listened to it all. He was straight up about the 'revelation' about why Adi left, and that the new coaching set up is all down to Robins. And his openness to bringing in older players if the right opportunity comes about. Makes it sound like King wasn't as controlling and rigid as has been...
