There will ofcourse come a point where Dean Austin and his brilliant scouts have to take some of the responsibility

I think that point has passed to be honest.

I’m hoping that the only reason he is still here is because it will be the new sporting director’s responsibility to find his replacement

He’s our all time record signing and our top scorer who on earth do you think it is?
he was playing ok until he got injured nothing special, Clark playing like he is now would of put him ahead of wright on the left, personally I’d keep clark on the left and put wright in the middle, point I was making is you were questioning lampards coaching and motivational skills, hasn’t done a bad job with Clarke has he

Actually so painfully sad what’s happened since Robins sacking to this forum and outer fanbase.

Problems exist and some will exist until we can get rid (soonest being now or the summer realistically).

Heard and said in the past that I had heard two bad apples in the group, won’t post but lines up with league one champs post on the Cardiff thread. Sure Gimoc knows more but heard nothing on Jack

We all want what’s best for CCFC but lately just seen consistent arguments on here even some as silly as on the old firm on the Cardiff vs Coventry thread.

Lampard rightly as Robins did take the negative with the positives. But I just wish it wasn’t a consistent told ya so. Don’t get me wrong I didn’t want Lamps (think everyone knows who I wanted 🤣) but he’s the boss and we have to give him time. Only other option is too sack him which would be madness.

Let's be honest he'd shouted it out after we conceded a goal , I can't remember him repeatedly pushing the agenda like some were

He’s on mute now, like cc4l he’s doing his Grendel fluffer act and I can’t be arsed. I was wavering, but that post was clearly an ironic post mid game. FFS go and look at any match thread.

I could buy the argument we needed a change. Honestly. What I can’t buy is that Lampard is that change. Or the fact Austin has got off Scott free. If you sack robins you get a promising manager in who has shown tactical nous and the ability to get more than the sum of their parts. Literally the only reason anyone has given for Lampard is “he raises the club profile” and unless I’m selling the club I don’t see why I’d care about that.

It’s Coleman all over again.

EMC done really well so fair under lamps. Would love to see Wright and Clark both start and just rotate back and forth from the LW role to the ST role. Saw him doing it with Norman

He’s had two good games after a run in his position. Even Lampard said he hasn’t done anything with him.

I don’t want him to have his own way. His record at Derby and Chelsea was shite. I want a proper scouting team.
Harsh, he did well at Derby under the circumstances and well at Chelsea in his first stint.

No, he said after Derby he wanted him sacked.

Every match thread you get people coming out with totally bizarre rants, and when it’s pointed out the angry justification is “it’s emotion, it’s in the heat of the moment, we’re just reacting to what we’re seeing ”, yet now you’re doing your Grendel-Lite routine and producing old posts from match threads to prove some kind of point, all while accusing other people of ‘having an agenda’. Piss poor tbh.

Spineless players first and foremost. We may limp along to 16th like in our first season up, but that team battled hard most weeks against much more expensive opponents.

We currently look like the ever underperforming Bristol City under Big Nige.

In terms of transfers? You reckon? Who were his best signings?
You'll have to ask Dery and Chelsea fans that, he's still held in high regard apparently.
Even by Everton fans.

Whatever anyone thinks, it's far too early to judge him here.

Well I did. I went on their forums and the general consensus was that he wasted a lot of money on shite.

Careful he will put you on mute

I think there's a difference between blurting something out after we concede and genuinley wanting it though , several posters were pushing the narrative alot, one or 2 out of frustration probably said a couple things too but really only a very small minority wanted him gone per the polls

Exactly. As soon as we equalised ccfckssparks posted we have to win from here or it's terrible or something similar. Set his stall out to have a go at lampard . It's so obvious to anyone with a brain what he was doing.

At half time we had lots of elite tactical comments. It's a lot of I told you so, you are right.

They don’t then come out with hyperbolic stuff countering what they had originally said though to be fair.
