RVN got the new manager bounce with the 6 finger mob yesterday , those very same players who did not play for the Goblin(Steve Cooper) run their bollox of for RVN. So if city players don't do the same for FL I would say it could be that they have reached their peak of performance, which is quite worrying for Austin!!!

West Ham had 31 attempts on goal and but for bad finishing and good goalkeeping it could have been very different. Seems he's a lucky manager.

I’m hoping Lampard has proper 1-1s with all the key players.
He should start with Sheaf and take him for a coffee post training. Ask him what he thinks is working and what isn’t and build the guy up a bit using his experience etc . Needs to be a proper coaching conversation but also a clear expectation of how he wants to see Sheaf lead and play.
I suspect Robins did very little of that and it’s desperately needed given most of the issues seem to be mindset based.

What on earth led you to suspect that Robins didn't have such conversations with players?

Hang on a moment, I am not Steve Cooper how dare you

Also they came up against the premiership version of us at the moment. If West Ham could finish they would have won that easily. I’d compare it more to Ruben who only got a draw to start but now he’s had a couple of weeks in them they’ve got a good result against Everton

If Millwall were playing their huge centre backs, I would have said Saka would have run rings round them. If they arent playing, we need some robustness in that role

Didn't know we'd bought the Arsenal star.
Saka needs his mojo back.

The evidence of the last 6 months. That was the role Adi did .

Unless you've got inside information, all we know about the last 6 months is that things went badly wrong.

I know Adi did all the coaching set up but doubt Robins wouldn't of taken people to have those discussions.

Mind you to play devils advocate, Robins was laid back about the previous squads as he would say they would police themselves and based on Saddle Faz and Kelly were real leaders behind the scenes and organised alot from there end as well as hold team meetings.

Maybe Robins did struggle with this group. Not impossible considering managing young players is difficult and I think this is the youngest squad he ever had at the club. He did make quite a few comments on imo how he was struggling to manage them with the whole social media issues and the Preston after match.
