If that’s your benchmark for a manager, you’ll be going through a lot of managers. They have been better than us the entire time I’ve been supporting football. You habitually write off people you don’t like, perhaps try to have a bit of patience for once. It’ll do you good mate and you may...

We’ll see how he gets on at Stoke now but as much as I revere Robins, he’s just blundered into getting rid of AV (and what followed) which put doubts in King’s mind. It’s been a month, plenty of games so limited time of the training pitch with players. As you say, improvement needed and this...

Yep, at least last season we beat just about all the bottom half teams. This season we’re just easy to score against and that’s going to take more than a month for any manager to fix.

£25M, not a penny less.

When was the last time we beat Norwich or WBA? You’d have to go back a few managers if that’s your benchmark… 😂 Before Lampard took over, our record against Cardiff, Norwich, Hull, WBA and Swansea was 3 wins in 40 games. Just over half his games have been against our bogey teams in his 9 game...

I don’t know how you can keep repeating the same nonsense either.

I’d really like us to hire ‘the next Pep Guardiola’ as our next manager after Lampard leads us to the promised land and goes back to Chelsea…

There’s no point arguing with me about sacking Robins because I didn’t agree with it. Robins had 3 windows to build the team we had and insisted on some players that are considered bad signings. He had plenty of backing and shaped the coaching structure and recruitment. My personal view is...

We’ve lost 3 games, two of which being WBA and Norwich… what are you talking about? 😂

No it wasn’t though. The people calling for MR to be sacked looked at his record at the end of last season. So it was more accurately the last 20-30 games sample people were starting to get fed up.

He’s been in the job just over a month… 😂

It’s quite funny you shooting down his career. Let’s recap; Derby getting to the playoff final, UCL qualification at Chelsea, being top the next Xmas before getting sacked after barren run, managing Everton and keeping them up. A marginally less win % than Dyche… … Your alternative? “That...

He did because he turned down chances to return to management.

Ability. Last season, our record showed this team cannot compete with the top end of the Championship. There are good players in this group but quality is needed to be added and that is what Robins admitted at the end of last season. We need better quality leaders because we’ve gone from having...

Names please. For someone so critical of Lampard you’d think you’d have had a clear preference on a few people you’d have preferred. Did any of these men you describe even apply for the job? Probably not. Lampard wasn’t a failed manager and only an armchair manager would make such a dumb...

We weren’t battering themthey had 60% possession and 21 shots compared to our 8. Yesterday, Norwich had 62% possession and 24 shots to our 6. Like yesterday, we nearly caught them on the counter at 1-0 up and missed a big chance that would’ve made 2-0.

Who was the best candidate then?

I agree, Sakamoto will be a role player going into 25/26 imo. However, if he was fit, he’d have been starting so it’s just another player we’re missing against a team that’s just better than us.

I’m liking the way we’re scoring goals at the far post and Lampard has been quite flexible to change things up. The games have come too thick and fast to embed the tactical changes or make material changes. Unlike you, I reserve judgement before writing off players and managers. Lampard is...

This is because we had Haji Wright who terrorised Sunderland’s defence. EMC was another player able to do that but without both of them, you’ve got a toothless attack. Yesterday, we were without Sakamoto, Wright and EMC. A draw was going to be bloody good result. Yesterday, despite the...
