And when Hamer went off in the playoff final we went from looking like we were going to win to looking to hold on for penalties.

But we have Wright and Rudoni surrounded by better players. We don't rely on just 2 players anymore.

I think you need a reality check on Lampard. It doesn't matter what your thoughts are on getting rid of Robins and replacing him with Lampard. The facts are he took over a struggling side that couldn't defend to save their lives. 3 of our best players have been out with quite long injuries...

He does for them now what he did for us. Runs around trying to get the ball and tries to get forward when he gets it. But as for most of his career not much of an end product. If they don't go up he would play a big part in their side. If they get promoted he would be out of his depth.

O'Hare frequently went missing in games. Sometimes you even forgot he was on the pitch. Rudoni culpable at the start of the season? New club. Didn't know his role. Young inexperienced player. Several of our players were poor. It doesn't mean you can use the start of the season for point...

I'm just happy that after such a long post on such an emotional subject that people can't agree that I've only been pulled up on one thing so far 😂😂😂

The EMC Wright thing will be easy to start with. EMC on for the first 60 to 70 minutes then swap with Wright. When both are up to match fitness I have faith in Lampard to do the right thing.

I thought I read somewhere he was manager but could be wrong.

Like I said they're not a bad side. But the only way I see us not winning this one is if luck goes against us. They've scored 1 goal in their last 6 games. Before then they were flying after his appointment. 5 wins, 2 draws and just 1 defeat. That was to Leeds in his first game.

I can't believe people are still arguing over this. A lot has changed since Robins left. The announcement of Lampard took ages. It could have gone either way. Things were turning toxic at our club. But it seems Lampard wanted to do things his way or not join us. You can't blame him because if...

Very close even game.....3-0 😂 We're going to absolutely hammer someone soon. Next 4 games maybe. Wouldn't mind waiting until we play Sunderland. We're only 12 points behind them. We were 21 points behind them just 8 games ago. Keep this going and 4th isn't out of reach.

Oxford are not a bad Championship side. They're also not a good Championship side. Their biggest problem is scoring goals. Our defence should be able to cope with what they have. If we can put together just half of the Preston performance we should win this game. Our confidence is brimming and...

Wealthy? Would only have been 1 weeks wage as a player 😁

There's a good chance we would have had Gyokeres and Hamer. We don't know if we would have invested or not. Personally I think Luton did the right thing. They will have banked a lit of money for a new ground. Much better than spending 100m and going straight back down and having a fire sale as...

I agree. Maybe a London team would have a big pull for him. He won't need the big salary though. And if we don't go up this season I can see us going up in the top 2 next season. There's more to life than earning more money, especially if you already have enough. I just think the challenge...

So it was the result you expected?

I'm not so sure. Nearly 10 years ago Robins found out the grass isn't always greener on the other side. When he came back he stayed until pushed. Lampard has already previously got the push. He won't need the money as he earned more in a year than most people in a lifetime. With us he has...

Correct. But since Lampard has turned up we have added the experience we needed which was a policy change. 3.5m to 4m for a player nearly 30? Now we have added Paterson who is 33. Neither will have a resale value when they leave. 2 players with a combined age of 62. Before we would have wanted 3...

He even played the advantage a couple of times when the advantage would have been giving a free kick in a dangerous position.

His best two months by far with us. Who would you drop for him? Rudoni? Yes O'Hare and Rudoni are totally different players. Rudoni doesn't constantly go missing in games. Bigger, stronger and scores goals as well as making plenty of assists. This is his first season with us. He is still...
