Found it to be an interesting article, some more information regarding the backroom stuff.

Look no further than Lampard and Coventry for modern FA Cup tradition

TOM COLLOMOSSE: If you're looking for FA Cup tradition in the modern game, there are few better places to start than Frank Lampard and Coventry City.

“It is to his credit that he has decided to drop back into the Championship in order to rebuild”

Found this bit interesting, did players use to sort out the meetings between themselves? If so might point out the struggles of managing a young group:


Training sessions have been more detailed, with players given extensive briefings before each fixture on the strengths and weaknesses of their direct opponents.

Though there have been more individual and collective meetings than under Robins, these have been shorter, with Lampard focusing on three or four key messages and drilling them repeatedly. At previous clubs, Lampard sometimes left his coaches to lead the sessions but he is heavily involved here, particularly in the tactical work towards the end of the week.

You could hardly expect a more glowing assessment if Lampard had written it himself.

“King has ploughed in much of his personal fortune to try to reach the Premier League but that is unlikely to happen until next season at the earliest.”

Really??!

Not that Robins wasn’t, but you can see just how hard Lampard is working to put us back on track. A few were worried about how committed he would be but you can see it on the touch line.

Super Frank.

Hard to get excited, the football was more boring insipid rubbish yesterday. Lampard needs time but we’ve seen little progress so far and absolutely boring football and no urge to try anything other than 4-5-1 in drag.

Hmm. This would have been a good game to miss then.

Being committed on the touchline doesn't necessarily make you a good manager.

Didn’t say it does but I guess there a few on here that are weirdly desperate for him not to do well to be proved right

There’s not. There’s an awful lot desperate to pretend we’ve had a massive improvement so they don’t look silly for their positions of the last year or so.

I'm not a fan of his to be honest but I'm hoping he proves me wrong because then he will be doing a good job. I don't want us to end up being like Stoke ,with 7 managers in just over a 6.5 years.

I liked how he seemed genuinely buzzing for the players to win a shootout. Like for them individually not just the team progressing in the cup

It was obviously a silly appointment and sticking with it out of pride is even sillier tbh. He’ll be gone before the end of next season anyway.

Unless we improve the ‘deck’ there will be no ‘massive improvement’. Would be naive to think there would be.

But weird to sack the last guy and insist the new guy gets more then.

Out of the squad. That was Kings rationale and Lampards remit.

Was at the match. Enjoyed the first hour a lot. Good football, created openings, no confidence from Ellis or BTA to convert. Allen's performance was notable.Didn't miss Sheaf. Dovin starting to look like a good signing.

Our 6th man in the pen shoot out was the family stand.
Great to see the passion for a Wednesday miss from my seat on halfway.
Well done City fans.

LOL, he probably diluted equity in one of his companies while retaining control.
