Did you even go to the game? We should've comfortably scored 4 goals.
You're having a shocker today.
What? You don’t think we should beat bottom of the league at home?
When I see a good performance from us, on a level to many last season and even more the previous years, I’ll praise it. But scraping past bottom of the league at home ain’t it.
Recruitments poor but we are a top 6 side?
Fucking hell
There is no need to make any sort of definitive call though.Im trying to say four games in and I’ve seen some good things and some not so good things and it’s too early to call because results have been about what I’d expect.
Im not expecting a huge unbeaten run. I’m expecting a few wins and a confidence boost. I do expect us to win our next match though.

No it isn't. I said we are missing a few key additions. Getting majority right doesn't mean poor recruitment to me.Poor recruitment is one of the problems you mentioned that’s stopping us being a top six side.

It's not like we didn't try. Life doesn't always work out perfectly
Seaosns not over is it? That's why king replaced robins who he thought should be doing betterIf you’ve spent £45m and are still missing a few key additions your recruitment has been poor. We’ve overspent on a lot of OK players. That’s poor recruitment. It’s meant we are short experience and quality that stops us being a top six side. £45m for mid table isn’t good.
But the argument all season has been we should have been scoring more and therefore winning games we lost or turning games we narrowly won into full your boots wins.Did you even go to the game? We should've comfortably scored 4 goals.

It's smaller tweaks. If you can't see it then your either drunk or just a casual football fanBut the argument all season has been we should have been scoring more and therefore winning games we lost or turning games we narrowly won into full your boots wins.
Not sure you can take beating an appalling bottom of the league side 2-1 at home as a sign of any particular improvement on the basis that we should have scored more.
Just seems to be more of the same to me.

You called for robins head after Derby so you can understand what king was thinking too
Gonna be hard for lampard to get playoffs with a poor start but it's still possible. Season could yet get exciting.
Yeah and we should have got 2 or 3 at WBA, we’ve had great xG all season. Aren’t we third or something in the xG league?
I just don't really understand how you can come to that conclusion though.
Individually, players looked much better and there were actual recognisable patterns of play and a style they were looking to execute.
Yes, it was against a side which are obviously in free fall but if you compare the performance to those against struggling sides we've come up against recently like QPR or Preston it's much improved.
It's not a huge step. No one is saying it is. People are saying they are noticing small things which are making us better on the whole.No I didn’t. You’ve misheard this off someone else and I’ve corrected you before.
I know why King sacked Robins, so far I’m not seeing this huge step change a new manager has made to these players. I still think this group needs 3-4 new faces in, which you seem to accept.

It's petty to say only justification robins shud be sacked is if new manager comes on and drastically changes everything and we win every game.
Ok in which case maybe it's a season where we finish top half or close to playoffs like the season before we got league 1 promotion.Ive not said that either. I’ve said that I’ve seen some good stuff and some not so good stuff and results have been about as I expected. I don’t think with this squad results as expected gets us top six over a season.
I thought it was OK. That’s all. I didn’t think it was an amazing performance. Just OK.

It's a good spot to be in when you are down to needing 3-4 in and most of squad can stay as it is
I understand that and I won't say he wouldn't because he's mark fucking robins end of the dayThe point is and I accept this is a point of faith, I’d have backed robins to get more out of this squad over the long term. Well never know because I think what was missing was the key ingredients for the squad not a new manager and well likely get those anyway. I hope Lampard can too.
We are not as bad a side as many make us out to be. But we still have the same two problems. Wasteful in front of goal and keep giving away soft goals.Im trying to say four games in and I’ve seen some good things and some not so good things and it’s too early to call because results have been about what I’d expect.

But under Lampard we're getting more bodies in the box and closer to the goal. If we can improve on either of soft goals against or being wasteful in front of goal our results will improve. If we improve on both we would become very hard to beat.
You did actually.No I didn’t. You’ve misheard this off someone else and I’ve corrected you before.

Yeah I think we’ll see the opposite of Robins: more attacking and better at it, but more porous at the back in return. The unknown for me is can he get the players putting in Fulham 4-1 type performances or whatever.
Unbelievable that people are accusing you of thinking something just because you specifically said it on here. When will they learn?FFS. I posted during the game immediately after they scored “I think I’m robins out now” if you’re taking that as me calling for robins head after Derby then sure whatever.

Lol you did say it manFFS. I posted during the game immediately after they scored “I think I’m robins out now” if you’re taking that as me calling for robins head after Derby then sure whatever.
Is that because you are dead insideLol you did say it man
Just say you were angry at loss but in hindsight didn't really mean it.
I said before he went that whilst I didn't want himbe sacked I wouldn't be distraught like I once thought I would be the day he went. And it ended up like that

Quite puzzled by the way the Derby defeat seems to have gone into SBT folklore as one the worst performances ever. Yes it was poor and disappointing, and it triggered Robins’ demise. But for me, it fits into the pattern of much of the season – chances spurned, goals given away, points unfortunately lost. We struggled to break them down, but the two they scored were complete freaks weren’t they?

I said it was poor and disappointing, it just wasn't the all-time low it has become in some people's imaginations.Tactically, it was appalling.
Sakamoto was played central, a position he struggles in anyway and Robins didn't think to change it sooner even though Adams was basically doing nothing but man mark him all game, completely stifling him.
The Rudoni left back experiment came to a crashing end.
Our shape was completely all over the place until Robins finally changed things but it was too little too late.
Need I go on.
