8 games in most parts of the season is 7-8 weeks. Which is double the time you’d have with players to instil your methods and tactics. It takes a good 3 months, if not more.
Around Xmas, there’s barely any contact time with the players on the training pitch because it’s game-recover-repeat. December 23rd to yesterday was 15 days and we’ve played 5 games.
Again, you can’t have your best players out and still judge his tenure fairly. Haji Wright has been injured for 11 games and is still our top goal scorer by 3-4 goals.
You said it bodes well for the future, it really doesn't unless Lampard can work out the reasons for us being total shite as you put it.Well yeh it does because average would be more draws less losses
And good would be more wins and less losses
You know I'm right here lol
2 games in a row. Really hope that doesn't cost us
I'm so glad we signed a striker who works hard but cant finish.
I still don't understand why he was never called up by Italy.We used to have a striker who didn't work hard but oh boy could he finish. The one and only Mickey Quinn.
If only if only.
At least weird posts like shmees make it harder for the rest of the agenda crew to pretend there isn't one I guess.
I'd say that is a false dichotomy.It's pretty clear there are two agendas going on:
Those that didn't want Robins sacked and in some cases are bringing it up every five minutes. The other is those that wanted Robins gone, and are doing whatever they can to fluff Lampard every other five minutes.
I didn't want Robins gone and I have said quite openly I think we will come to regret this course of action, but I am willing to give Lampard a chance, because we really don't have any other choice anyway. I still think the players are the biggest issue, however.
To be honest this point scoring is quite boring and exhausting, and I am seeing this forum go round and round in circles.

Yep you’re 100% a trollTell me about it
I didn't want robins gone but am willing to give lampard a go. We are in the middle of it all.
The agenda crew on both sides will fizzle out sooner or later you would hope.

Fucking point scoring man.

Really thought we needed fresh legsI just watched the final five minutes again and was going to make the point about Bidwell - someone mentioned earlier in the thread that Dasilva would have been slaughtered for such an error. I think it was a foul on Lati personally but it was also incredibly weak from Simms just before that, he didn't win the header and then could easily have taken their player out to stop him passing up the line. Fine margins but consistent errors are killing us. Just totally deflating.
My choice, but his sacking came too late. Not sure there was any chance, but I wanted Corberan even with his defensive instincts.Would much rather have got Steve Cooper. Far better pedigree.
Really Nick? What did I say about his interview skills weeks ago? You guys need to be consistant.I haven't seen an interview but I agree. I'm not sure he will name and shame but he should have been fuming.
I don’t think that Simms will be the answer. He just doesn’t look right. I think we’ll see that the goals Simms scored last season will be a positive blip, not to be repeated. I don’t think he’ll be a regular scorer at this level, and he adds very little else, being incapable of holding a ball up. Sorry, I’d love to be proved wrong, but I can’t see it.Yep those 19 goals he got last season were all off his arse the lucky sod.
give Simms and Wright the service and they are both capable of getting 15 plus a season But how many chances has Simms been given and a striker thrives on confidence not being on the bench every week.
what the wank fest is amongst some on here over Bassett I dont know. He is offside more times than Huckerby, runs around lot without any end product and has scored twice despite being given starts in almost every game since Lampard has arrived.
Whats Kenny Jacket up to these days ?
This exactly.It’s ridiculous to judge Lampard this early, ridiculous. Patently someone else’s badly constructed squad.
He scored 1 in 3 for Sunderland and scored more open play goals and in as many games as Wright did last season.I don’t think that Simms will be the answer. He just doesn’t look right.

Funny is funny.
Agree - the other thing is Lampard needs to be a shithouse and make a prolonged sub as soon as they get their first / get Dovin to go down with an injury. That actually made me more angry than anything on Saturday evening reflecting on the match.Back to the game yesterday and it was a gutsy performance for 89 minutes. 2 key moments in the game-BTA made an arse of himself with that finish just in front of us and Lati needs to boot that ball out of the stadium. If he does that initially and the Ref doesn’t give the foul (as it transpired) the goal doesn’t happen and we walk away with a point which we deserved.
Thought three separate changes in added time would have done it before conceding at allAgree - the other thing is Lampard needs to be a shithouse and make a prolonged sub as soon as they get their first / get Dovin to go down with an injury.

Other teams do it, we are too nice.

I thought only two had been made to that pointI agree he should have made a change, he couldn't have made 3 separate changes.
Only swapped Eccle and Simms, we had 3 more to use! Why not do it and see out the extra time ffs.I thought only two had been made to that point
Yep my thought exactlyOnly swapped Eccle and Simms, we had 3 more to use! Why not do it and see out the extra time ffs.
I doubt it any keeper would have saved that shot.Yep my thought exactly
Or be fair we’d played the whole of the second half and it looked like we’d be ok
Does anyone think dovin should have saved the equaliser?
I went a googling and it was Horneland but he just got a new job.
In the current game it’s a foul on Lati but if the refs don’t believe it is hopefully the next time an opposition defender feels a slight touch in his back and dives forward and grabs the ball he will book them for handball
