As much as we loved robins a win rate of 39 % is poor, I’d say he‘s more than capable of lacing robins boots, he‘s managed at the very top level, and done well, there’s always one 😂
It's a good win rate, higher than most managers we've ever had
City only spent 7 games in the Playoffs last season and whilst length of time spent in the playoffs doesn’t attribute to much, given that we weren’t there at the end and spent less than 25% of the season consistently in the top six all season long, factor poor start and end to the season doesn’t make last season good.
We spent even less time there in the season we reached the play off final, it's an irrelevance

Looking at most successful Championship managers points per game, robins is in 86th place (Eustace 90th).

Lampard average including Premiership spells is below them both at 1.22

Looking at Championship only stats - Lampard 1.63 ppm, Robins 1.3ppm

He did say it was a tactically adaptable squad, which suggests that's something he likes as he's not wedded to one formation.
I think Frank might have noticed that this squad has played 352, 4231 and 541 already this season. 😁

I did allude to it's irrelevance in my post, but the fact that we spent little time in those positions and spent more time in the bottom half of the table wasn't good enough. It shouldn't take us a third of the season to get going and this pre season Mark Robins spoke about getting it right earlier - which we didn't!

The most important comment in all of this - I’m guessing we’re going to have to go for ‘Frankie Lampard’s Sky Blue Army?’. Always inconvenient when we have to create a fourth syllable.

Once the dust has settled on yesterday and I think he’ll have another press conference today to go over Cardiff, I’m allowing myself to feel excited.

Talks well and more importantly seems to have a belief in the squad where at times, I feel we would often downplay ourselves which led to almost a lack of belief on the pitch.

Wants to play football in a way I think will suit these lads and in particular players like Mason Clark and Raphael (when fit) as Lampard loves wingers to play on the opposite foot and drive into the centre which is what both did well last year granted at a lower level.

Happy Doug’s confirmed that Lampard has control over transfers and got in a very good coaching staff. Hope more come in but think he’s got all the tools and desire to make us his success.

I would not be shocked if Carr fills in for him should there be a pre match presser. 😁

Something something Win Rate Something Something 🤣
Just because it's been a hectic few days & FL can delegate a known safe pair of hands to take the pressure off himself, Edwards and Jones while they get to grip with the job at hand.

Please just stop with the politics/ race/ woke bullshit on the football side, go back to droning & repeating yourself all day on the off topic side about it
I will do that as long as people don’t immediately say I’m being sexist if I comment on the football side about the contribution/ performance of a football club employee who happens to be female. Especially when I have made no reference to gender and the post is one where clearly gender of the post holder makes no difference.

There seems to be a double standard (well more than double actually) being applied at times which just adds to my general state of “pissed offness”.

Can’t we just leave the second syllable of the forename out? its not like we called him Markie Robins, is it?

I was brought up on the First Div/Prem league if your happy with a day out versus Oxford & Exeter, then your welcome.

Same. I was also there for the 15 years of shit after it. You seem to be blaming the guy who reversed that all and stopped us playing the likes of Exeter.

If you think us right now are closer to the PL than Ranson or McGinnity you’ve not been paying attention.

No. Not once have i blamed or discredited MR. Decision made. I welcome DK ambition to restore us to the top division.
