Random Twitter suggestions. Do think we need this sort of player, not sure the fans would accept another Atari after the last one

I think we need a back up/ competing ten if the play is to continue with the 4-2-3-1. But think it’s key we get someone who has played in the league before.

Would look at Luke Cundle on loan myself

We'd have a ready made song for him too - Luke Cundle's In The Wind

Hopefully you aren’t being serious

This is not for this thread so can people stop replying

But that image is from 2021 and doesn’t include his caretaker spell.

My bad, I didn’t realise that. The point still stands that the company kept is mightily impressive. Mutually, it’s not worth reopening the Lampard wound because we’re very much at the opposite ends of the scectrum on that talking point.

It doesn’t mean he’ll be a success here, I just don’t like how Lampard is being denigrated after his Chelsea and Everton spells. Both clubs whose ex-managers wouldn’t sniff at us in reality. We’re a Championship club.

Plenty going on / all quiet at the moment.

Really puts the moron into oxymoron doesn't he.

Why doesn't he just admit that he hadn't got a clue ?

 

[LJC_CCFC]

Where does he rank in terms of errors/unforced errors? However those metrics are actually defined.

From what I could find zero errors leading to shots/goals on the season. Loses possession 7.2 times a game. Thomas 12, Binks 12.6, Kitch 8.4. Arguably lowest because unlike the other three he doesn't attempt progressive passes. Errors metric doesn't seem particularly sophisticated fwiw

The worst bit I took from that AT article is that Hagi Wright is still 2-3 weeks away from returning, EMC even longer :-(

Sheaf and Wright out for Jan might not be the worst thing. Might go give MvE a niggle too tbh.

 

[COVKIDSNEVERQUIT]

The Motherwell kit is pretty nice this year

Does it come with thermal underwear.

 

[wingy]

Well it suggests Haji won't be going anywhere, but watch this space to me.

 

[Balli001]

Sure Wright will be in the squad for the Bristol game on the 18th. We knew Mason-Clark would be out for longer already

Quiet and busy. Nice Andy.

 

[Grendel]

He was unemployed for a year.

So is Graham Potter

 

[SeshMouseSkyBlue]

Maybe not but I always took the three times in Five years discussion as being three years to go for it and two rebuilds.

How many years of the 5 have we got left?

 

[COVKIDSNEVERQUIT]

So what’s his motivation?

What a silly question, you really f****** hate him don't you.

Lampard has been in football all is life, it's in his blood.

He could go on a forum all day and spout f****** shit.

Sorry Frank. It’s just the internet don’t take it too seriously. Hope Christine is well.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Right. So not because he needs the money. So what’s his motivation?

To succeed in management rather than punditry.

 

[Grendel]

‘Context’ is a cop out, you can twist that however you want. It’s also ‘context’ that he’s had approaching the same number of games here, with everything to play for so you’d have expected to see something by now, and we’ve seen pretty much nothing.

Facts & stats are all that matters ultimately.

Yes and the fact is at championship level lampard has a better record then robins in terms of wins. Robins at Coventry is marginally below Adams in that regard

 

[shmmeee]

Exactly.

 

[Grendel]

OK mate. Maybe he just really got into playing Factorio for a year, or came down with short term agoraphobia. You’re right.

Meanwhile maybe it had something to do with him being statistically one of the worst managers Chelsea ever had:

I never knew Chelsea were formed in 2003 - what a revelation.

He had one season in the Championship .

 

[SBT]

Also you keep banging on about Chelsea. It’s Chelsea! No other manager we could’ve appointed would ever dream of getting the Chelsea job.

I bet we could have got John Terry.

 

[Grendel]

He had one season in the Championship .

It’s still one of those pesky stats apparently

 

[TomRad85]

@Jimmy87 just give us a fucking rumour bro, stop being a square.

 

[Sky Blue Goblin]

How many years of the 5 have we got left?

This is year three. 1st Attempt - Rebuild last year - 2nd Attempt - Rebuild - 3rd Attempt. Course this could be nonsense as no reason to say we couldn’t go again next year.

 

[COVKIDSNEVERQUIT]

The beautiful thing about sbt is that it's fluid.

Enemies become friends. Friend become bitter enemies etc

Or keep your friends close and your enemies closer.

 

[Skyblue Bangkok]

Of the last 64 games he's managed with us , Everton and Chelsea his teams have lost 35 ,hardly fails you with confidence .

So from a rumors pov, We’ve got:

Ins

Rob Holding - Loan. Unclear if option wanted to buy.

Unnamed RB.

Tamas Nikitscher - Purchase.

Sobra Thomas - Unclear if loan or purchase. Seen quite a few on this but plausible all the noise comes from GIMOC

Out

Milan - £8 million to Gala

Joel - Sheffield United - Perm

Wasn’t there rumours of interest in Allen from somewhere up north?

Not exactly many clubs queuing up to appoint him.

Is Sobra the non pissed up brother ?
