No evidence but I have a feeling the Lampard deal is sealed. They just knew it's going to be extra toxic if he gets off to a losing start so didn't want to drop him straight in against Sheffield U and Burnley
I just can’t seriously believe we’d hold off on a new manager if it was all sorted tbh. Have him in watching in the stands if you don’t want to disrupt prep for games.
Yep I'm not saying it's a good move but I can see some logic. I'm sure most teams block out runs of fixtures and try and set a target a points return. The 3 games after Robins left were all against teams right at the top so maybe they thought it was too much of a baptism of fire especially when there is little to no enthusiasm about Lampard.
Could be a masterstroke giving him a seemingly easier home fixture to start off. But will look pretty bad if we lose, and as mentioned we seem to struggle against teams that drop deep.

Or offend the support by being to swift in replacing Robins,which sounds too rediculous to believe to me, prepared to sack, but not prepared to install cos of reception's?
