Are either of Lampards coaches known for their tactical ability? Someone on YouTube was saying that Lampard is a bit tactically naive and it was Jody Morris who was the more tactically minded.

He isn’t captain material, it’s just patently obvious to anyone with eyes. It’s a shame, though, and I feel the expectation is weighing on Sheaf. He’s not a leader, however the conundrum is; who will replace him? The only realistic option is Bidwell.

Undoubtedly, however there just appeared to be a lack of alternative options or urgency to get the most crucial players in. The only experienced guys we looked at were Browne and Worral (?), and I’m still not quite sure how nobody else was identified? Doug has to allow Lampard to bring in...

If there was a vein of experience through this team, we would be ok. It’s very simple. Look at the way Sir Alex integrated his class of 92 into his first team, and ensured they had quality players around them, like Cantona, Pallister, Irwin, Schmeichel etc. Throwing a gaggle of youngsters...

As you were, then. Battling for a point.

He’s the complete forward player; strength, stamina, speed, finishing, aerial ability, quick feet and ruthless. What sets him in possible legendary territory is how many assists he gets on top of his goal tally. It’s amazing to watch his trajectory now, and I remember us all saying that if he...

Hopeful of a demolition job, today, however I would happily take a 1-0 and a clean sheet ‘bounce’. I wonder how many times Clive refers to us as ‘Frank Lampards Sky Blues/Coventry City’ today…I’d imagine he’d stop after Oggy’s nudge and cringe, though. 🤣

Last goal he scored was against Luton, which in fairness, was a decent goal. 👍🏻

I can see Simms being loaned out at this rate, if another striker comes in January. Something is clearly not working for him here, he plays like someone who can’t fully grasp what his role is, and what’s expected of him. There’s a very good player in there, however right now, he’s just not...

Ah, how ironic. Would you like me to broadcast the extent of my crushing mental health issues, stemming from decades of misdiagnosis? Aside from what I choose to share, willingly, I would not particularly think it ‘helpful’ for people to know who simply do not understand the complexity of my...

You’re asking ‘why?’?! What did you find incredulous in what I stated?

Could be any number of things, however if it’s personal issues, it would be unscrupulous to discuss it openly on a forum.

Big name my arse, it’ll be Glen Little.

I just really, really do not want Lampard. If we get him, I’ll back him, but I’d happily have someone like Steve Cooper over that phoney.

These were season ticket holders, so unless they were plastic Cov fans…

Has a decent CV of assistant management at a high level including Newcastle, Arsenal, Man Utd and even the national team. Was also DoF at Villa from 2016-2018.

What position was he predominantly played in last season for West Brom, anyone?

He assisted the second goal and his through-ball to set up (player name here) to assist the first was excellent. Personally, furore aside about clapping him, it was a monumental fuck up to not give Gus what he was asking for and tie him down to another contract. Not only do we miss his presence...

I thought his assessment of the game was quite complimentary to us, really. He got it spot on with the red card incident too. Watch him try and sign Norman in January now. 🤣

Not that it’s entirely relevant, but this phenomena of clapping opposing players (regardless of their service to Cov) has always baffled me. In the late 90’s I distinctly remember both Michael Owen (for Liverpool) and David Beckham being clapped and lauded over by our fans every time they...
