Er I said 3 together?
The funny thing is they come up with all those reasons why Robins actually wasn't that good, whilst at the same time dismissing Lampard's previous failures as outside of his control and not his fault.

There’s hypocrisy on both sides of the argument and you’re better off taking everything King says with a pinch of salt.

This thread is an all time stinker tbf, trying to gloat after 4 games and then we turn in an awful performance on our next run out.

No one can judge anyone until they can recruit their own players
The mental gymnastics are incredible.

If we do win against Plymouth that’s 10 points in 5 games when we were averaging slightly more than a point a game previously

But if we dont then we wait till after a few transfer windows ?

We aren’t going anywhere this season. Staying in the league is it. If we do win we have won 3 games in 5 having won 4 in 17.
We need significant changes next season in a lot of areas

I can see there being a rebuild but to do that some assets have to be sold. That means one or more of Sheaf, vanEwijk and Wright will go and I hope we will seek upgrades for DaSilva and Collins. It's so disappointing this season that we're only treading water, it's going to result in a significant drop in season ticket sales.

Can see a significant drop off in the " Doug King is god " t-shirt sales too

How many games into a season do you wait for the turnaround? He had Adil & Lawrence in the previous seasons. He looked bereft of ideas this season. What's gone before doesn't imply that it will happen repeatedly in the future if the variables alter significantly which they had.

You are deliberately missing the point and twisting things which have been said. Adi & Lawrence were here as part of the managerial team which turned things round. To conveniently just mention the poor start bit solely with reference to Adi & Lawrence is deliberately misleading.

You were literally gloating after the hull game

What is clear with the ‘new dawn’ is the disconnect between club, players, fans is increasing.
That’s not something I expected to be saying after recent years.

Unfortunately it wasn’t ever likely to last. Miraculous it lasted as long as it did.

There is so much gaslighting going on by people with agendas.
Lampard is not the man. Nothing has changed under his leadership and we need to stop kidding ourselves that these players are all L2 wasters. We haven’t seen a single shred of improvement in any area. We’re in zero danger of relegation, never were- what’s probably going to happen now is we’ll just drift along and finish up lower mid table.
The people who wanted Robins out will then claim that’s a ‘good achievement’, and that we were certs to go down had he not gone, and we’ll spend until about this time next year kidding ourselves things will turn, but they won’t and we’ll be straight back on the managerial merry go round.
I am desperate for Lampard to get it right, because we stand to lose all the momentum which took 7 years to build, but head over heart if we’re honest we can all see where this is heading.

I don’t think I have an agenda, but I think it’s a bit early to dismiss Lampard. Do you not?

You can judge the starting lineup on Boxing Day
I would expect at the very least Collins and Da Silva dropped and if that doesn't happen then it needs to be questioned

Collins starting apparently

Wouldn’t matter who was in charge, I will support them. I can also say whether I think they’re good enough. I will support Lampard (don’t forget, I’m one of those “happy clappers” that get the piss taken out of them for being too optimistic), but so far we’ve seen zilch to justify making a change. It’s not hard to understand.

We’ve seen changes. Whether they justify the decision is a matter of opinion but it’s not like nothing has changed.

How is it not like nothing has changed, having seen that match against Portsmouth? There’s a genuine case for saying it’s got worse.
It is about opinions though, you’re right. Looking back at it I think I’d have rather seen Chris Ramsey become assistant and leave Robins in, but that’s long gone now and we have no choice but to really support Lampard- but it’s alarming to see how nothing has got better, I know it’s only a few games but.. anyway we’ll see.
your last line is my deep concern.
We all want FL to do well, but must admit im trying myself to be really positive, because in the back of my head, like your last line - I fear where this is going and that 7 years of utter blood sweat and tears is going up in smoke.

Far too early to start talking about Lampard as a failure in my opinion, he needs time.
However I think anyone saying there's been improvement is deluding themselves, but he needs a lot longer than 5 or 6 games before anyone can make an accurate assessment on his tenure.
For me he needs to do two things, make us hard to beat, even if that means sacrificing any notions of attractive football in the short term, and he needs to get some experience in the team, particularly though the spine (CB and CM)
