Lampard has certainly made a difference to the number of players getting into the box … the wide players attack the back post and and 2 of the central midfielders get into the box as well. This is one of the biggest attacking changes.
It’s exciting, every time we get a set peice or get the ball wide you think we’ve got a chance. Amount of players in the box every time we get the ball in wide areas is fantastic
Even better when you consider we're not that big of a side too. Preston seemed bigger than us today, the quality of the delivery and well drilled training clearly more important.
Where is this montage? Do feel free to share. I loved the 21/22 season montage with all the late goals. In my head this season is a disappointment but we’re still on the edge of the playoffs. The montage may help lift my mild depression!

With the amount of crosses we put into the box every game even before Frank we should score loads of headers, under Robins we kept putting crosses in to 1 or 2 men in the box who were all doubled up on because we had no one else attacking the box now under lampard we’re a proper threat from a cross as we send a few more in and players like Simms and Haji and Rudoni are only marked by 1 even if Kitching or Thomas come up they only have 1 man and Tats/EMC always attack a cross well

Agreed, we’re a lot quicker at putting the ball in the box. It was often the case that under Robins, by the time we crossed the ball, defences would have 8-9 players in the box.
Yesterday, there were occasions where as soon as the full back and Rudoni had the overload, the winger would sprint to add another body to the box. EMC did this well and believe utilising Wright in this will be even more dangerous.
Haji is the final piece and Sakamoto is the weakest link out of Haji, EMC, Simms, Rudoni and Sakamoto.
