Really?
Which all may well be true - it's hardly a surprise for a new manager to gradually replace the old coaching staff with their own trusted coaches.
I just don't understand this theory that Aled Williams was the evil Svengali ruining everything all along behind the scenes. Even if you believe a GK coach would be given such sweeping responsibility (it sounds ridiculous to me), he seems like quite a convenient scapegoat.
Williams took over the defensive coaching in the wake of Dennis Lawrence leaving
With the changes made in the summer it was decided not to shake up yet another thing, so he was left to it
Between the Huddersfield match (first game after Lawrence left) up until Williams last game in charge of Defensive coaching v Pompey we kept something stupid like 5 clean sheets in 38 games.
Since he's been relieved of that and focusing back on his actual role of Keeper coaching, the defence is more solid under a new set of eyes
I dont rate him as a keeper coach either tbh but seems to be working well with Dovin
What's your proof? Was the defensive coach in charge of how the team set up defensively on matchday? Where does Williams fall short as a GK coach? (Especially at a time when our current #1 is in outstanding form)Williams took over the defensive coaching in the wake of Dennis Lawrence leaving

Just wondering if he's also made his mind up about JDS and Eccles. Both havent started regularly much of lateIt took Lampard 3 or 4 weeks to see Collins wasnt up to it
The same amount of time for him to see Williams isn't up to scratch either
He will be the next out. Bookmark this if you like

Eccles out Tahirovic inNot sure on JDS
I know he's not a fan of Eccles
Can't see any need to take action on the GK coaching situation till the summer while it's going as it is.Williams took over the defensive coaching in the wake of Dennis Lawrence leaving

Not sure on JDS

Tbf we all know that. He won’t play him. And I for one don’t blame him.
I like Eccles don’t get me wrong but squad player is his use if we are serious for top 6
Weird one with Eccles unless it’s attitude as he hasn’t performed that bad under lamps on the whole unless my mind has blocked some performances due to traumaNot sure on JDS
I know he's not a fan of Eccles
Don't know but possibly a cost cutting exercise. Lamps brought two coaches in, now two coaches gone.Why do people think he'll be replaced?
Hasnt Lampard had a team of just Jones and Edwards before?
Worst he has been since he broke into the team IMHO. Was a starter, at present, a sub.Weird one with Eccles unless it’s attitude as he hasn’t performed that bad under lamps on the whole unless my mind has blocked some performances due to trauma
Think I’m just blinded by the Plymouth match tbhWorst he has been since he broke into the team IMHO. Was a starter, at present, a sub.
You don't get sarcasm obviously
Should Lampard have the Manager title now? We clearly aren’t using a Head Coach system (good IMO).
I know he's not a fan of Eccles
Head coach is not to do with the coaching staff but the separation of recruitment. Austin doesn’t work for Lampard, they are colleagues.I thought this.
This set up clearly isn't designed with continuity in mind and when Lampard goes, then his team will be going with him
Personally, like you, I'm not bothered.
As far as Im concerned his job is to win matches, not lay the foundations for a seamless transition when he fucks off
The question is of course does he want another job? Loads of people retire at 55, I certainly did (earlier actually).And hasn't worked in football subsequent to leaving this job either

Yes he was really good that day. Just overall, I feel he has not been the same this season even before Lamps came in. Some games good, most not up to his usual standard, although all players have a bad spell and this is his first, I believe.Think I’m just blinded by the Plymouth match tbh
He will… he has before.Hope Eccles responds right and steps things up.
Eccles has always reminded me of Shipley. Doesn't look out of place in the championship but also wouldn't look out of place in league 1Yes he was really good that day.

There again, team in general have not been great this season. Last few games they have ground out results without being brilliant. Interesting which way it goes from here. Most fans think we are on an upward trajectory. Lets hope so.
I assume Carr's just worked his 2 month's notice as it's 2 months since Lampard took over?I saw a game on tele recently, can't remember which one and all the coaches and Lampard were up and down shouting instructions, etc. Carr just sat there almost staring into space. Only a matter of time, I guess.

Alongside bringing Kitching, Allen and Simms into the side… Each of those players have made a positive impact in the area of the pitch they’re playing in.I think bringing an actual goalkeeper into the team in place of the bloke who let in every shot he faced has had a far greater bearing on the quality of the defence/the results than changing the responsibilities of the coaches.

Hopefully goalkeeper coach will follow and FL will get in his own .
Interesting, wonder if he just stayed for the few weeks the new coaches were settling in.
So goalkeeper coach is next on the chopping block?He will be
