What’s hard to understand is you saying our first Championship play off season since relegation from the Prem isn’t good enough.
Yes it's irrelevant how much time we spent in the top six, however given that we spent one third of the season in the bottom half of the table not turning our season on until O'Hare came back isn't good enough. Not sure what is difficult to understand about that.
We didn't lose any of them. Luton and Man U were draws.You don’t get to Wembley by losing.

Some of us remember Division 1 , some of us remember 87, some of us remember watching a City team take apart the elite ( not consistently ).Some of us remember the Premier League and frankly have enjoyed the last seven years more.
Everton have burned through a lot of good managers ….. Marco Silva, Martinez, Benitez, Koemen, etc etc ….. maybe the problem isn’t the manager ????I remember him well, started off ok, but went down the drain pretty quickly. Talks a good game though. Some reaction :
Lampard appointed head coach of Coventry
Frank Lampard has been appointed head coach of Championship club Coventry City on a two-and-a-half-year deal.www.grandoldteam.com
I was referring to last season, which was not the play off season.What’s hard to understand is you saying our first Championship play off season since relegation from the Prem isn’t good enough.
There aren't enough days in the week to detail our problems.Everton have burned through a lot of good managers ….. Marco Silva, Martinez, Benitez, Koemen, etc etc ….. maybe the problem isn’t the manager ????
Say what you want about Doug King, it is clear he is a very very intelligent man. If it’s true he really isn’t interested in football, it has to be said he has well and truly thrown himself into this project, talks a good game and his hands on.
Because some just love to paint a villain into the piece. Makes for a better storyline.Agree.
So why are some people calling Doug King a c**t
I think you will find the history books will say we lost, else why no promotion or FA Cup final?We didn't lose any of them. Luton and Man U were draws.
Overstating the fact we didnt actually lose to a premier league side in a cup semi final? Ok thenI think you will find the history books will say we lost, else why no promotion or FA Cup final?
People shouldn't rubbish Robins achievements, but equally they shouldn’t be overstated.
Now the blue training kit makes sense. it was all part of the big plan from the summer to keep Frank in the colour he's used to
Hardly an insight is it. Most managers don’t last 2 years.
Fans want attractive football and success, owners are frightened of the economic costs of failure.
Doesn’t seem like it. Guess it allows the max time for Frank to prepare the team for SaturdayIs there going to be a pre match interview?
We lost.Overstating the fact we didnt actually lose to a premier league side in a cup semi final? Ok then
Wait until King drops “City” from our name so we’re just CFC as well
Did Lampard say Jones was good with the “performance“ and sport science stuff?

Yes he did say that but added that over time he has evolved into being a very good coach as well.Did Lampard say Jones was good with the “performance“ and sport science stuff?
Are you always this black and white? Performance, comeback, getting to that stage against a top level side but you discount all this because we drew (using your own quoted text) therefore we must be overstating the achievement.We lost.
”In the semi-final match, also held at Wembley, United defeated Coventry City 4–2 on penalties after a 3–3 draw, during which they squandered a 3–0 lead, to set up a Manchester derby final for a second successive season. Dalot, Christian Eriksen, Fernandes and Højlund all scored their penalties with only Casemiro missing for United; Haji Wright – who scored Coventry's third goal – and Victor Torp scored for Coventry with Callum O'Hare – scorer of Coventry's second goal – and Ben Sheafmissing for Coventry.”
It was tough and very sad - and had Haji been an inch further back we would have won. But he wasn’t and we didn’t. Them’s the rules.
Pretty much yes. You seemed to have missed the bit in bold which reads “defeated”. And obviously a draw isn’t a win.Are you always this black and white?
