Where’s the 4-5 weeks come from then

It's only Cov players who have calf strains who are out for 4 or 5 weeks.

The point is we can lose half our games and easily do it now.

The overreaction is more worry than anything else. We're sitting very pretty.

Yeah, wouldn’t disagree with that. In fact that’s how I’m looking at the final 8 games. 2 game chunks where we just need to win one of them. No problem with people who are worried though. Everyone wants this so badly and who can blame us!

 

[clint van damme]

So tomorrows games of importance are

Blackburn vs Boro 12:30
Ipswich vs Millwall 12:30
Sheffield Wed vs Hull 3:0

Blackburn still could get drawn in to relegation battle.
Ipswich Millwall draw I guess is best result. As Ipswich still have game in hand.
Hull need to win to have any chance of Autos but looks tough.

Yeah, don't think Hull are in the equation.

 

[Terry_dactyl]

The feeling we’re gonna throw it away is strong

Really?
Strange. Since the results came in after the Southampton game I think I’ve felt my most confident that we might do it.
I’m fighting the urge to think we WILL but we’re in a good position.
(That’s as far as I’m willing to go).

Pete, maybe you should private message Matt Smith. You two throwing worst case scenarios at each other might be therapeutic.

What if the messaging function stops working though!?

Tbf Lampard didn't have a brilliant record when you appointed him.

Don't get me wrong, it wasn't rubbish either, it was merely "ok" with a few decent little periods.

Sometimes a manager just "fits" a club (like Wilder does with the Blades, whereas he's been fairly crap most other places) "gets" the fanbase (whose positivity is absorbed by the players) has a good chairman who'll back him BUT keep his nose out of football affairs (Are you listening Brum?) and is a man who the players respect and buy into the ethos of either due to his former career or his intellect and man-mamagement abilities.

Plus it also seems Frank has (though starting slow) actually learned from his management experience, which some coaches do more than others (Indeed some barely learn at all and they don't tend to have a career beyond a decade long)

LOL - he was a real coup for us.

 

[Sick Boy]

Yes Lampard is just an OK coach and a great fit for us.

Hes not an Excellent coach like Hellberg who would suit most teams in the country.

Their delusion is off the scale. They’ll bottle it again this year.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Their delusion is off the scale. They’ll bottle it again this year.

It blows my mind how 'Hellball' is genuinely how we were playing for half a season but it's treated like a tactical innovation.

No, your assumption that that's what I meant by my post, by just taking a tongue in cheek bit of nonsense comment by a completely different poster as supposedly a gospel description of it is off the scale.

I've actually been complimentary about both Cov and Frank. Have pretty much since I started posting on here, I'm not the type to just spout unfounded crap about another club just to get a reaction.

Bit of banter is ok, but I don't tend to live life as a deluded fan, I leave that to the Skunks up the A19 usually.

Agree with your other post mind you, getting Lanpard was a great result for you, he's tailor made for your club and has learned as he's gone along with jobs beforehand.

State of this

They wouldn't be saying that if their beloved Derby were near the top - twats

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

They wouldn't be saying that if their beloved Derby were near the top - twats

They are

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

If only Carlton Morris had been fit all season eh

 

[SBAndy]

If only Carlton Morris had been fit all season eh

Glad he wasn’t; forgot to have a few quid on him to be top scorer at silly odds (80/1 or something).

 

[junglej13]

Hackney possibly out for two weeks with calf injury according to Hellberg at his presser. Unsurprisingly he was quite vague

Think Hellberg said they have asked for the views of a few specialists. Sounds to me like they didn't like the initial prognosis.

Depends what you mean by 'importance'. You surely don't think Hull are in any way a threat to us?

They aren't - they are in the Play-Off hunt

I’m on about your fanbase as a whole rather than yourself and the general attitude to Lampard from the media vs Hellberg.

I have been going since 1963 so certainly know the ups and downs of CCFC.
For more years than I can remember it was a case of, if you can’t find buy a win for love or money visit cov and they will give you one for free.
This time feels different somehow ( though I don’t know about planning open top bus parades etc).
I just feel this is it. I get to go up with my grandsons (all 5 of them) and watch them see us play the big boys in the premier league.
I want that before I snuff it, I still say we ain’t there till we are 7 points clear with 2 games left. But for 2 teams to overtake us now, it just isn’t a bet any sensible bloke would take.

That’s how I feel: perhaps because my first game was also in 1963 (Sunderland in the cup) so we have both seen over 60 years of our ups and downs.

Like you, I want it so badly before I pop my clogs that I will inevitably have a sense of nervous excitement until the deed is actually done. I do think we will be promoted but I can’t help having that tiny bit of nagging doubt.

It blows my mind there's something called hellball.
Utter nonsense.

No but would it be best if they keep pressure on the others.

 

[Sick Boy]

There was a video about him being the next PL genius - could get a bit awkward.

Yeah completely get this

To be fair, the media loves a good catchphrase. If Frank's surname was Blizzard or Kray, it would be Blitzball or Krazyball that would be the buzzword of the day. Kim just happens to have a good surname to hang a bit of decent footie on. It could easily be used to hang him if his team were playing crap.

If it was Frank Kray it would be amiss of us not to do something with the Smiths song, Frank Kray Mr.Shankly

You will beat Millwall and Ipswich! Have faith, you have been 2nd for the majority of the season. Do the business on those two games they are two FA cup finals to you so sod the rest and you will be sorted

 

[thekidfromstrettoncamp]

They are

Pete if you mean Derby pointswise they are 20 points behind us if you take 20 off them only Sheffield Wednesday would be below them such is the table.
Enjoy the ride.

 

[Liquid Gold]

I don't think that's the case.

Mark Robins was tailor made for us. Lampard is a very good manager that would overachieve at most clubs.
