I reckon King was intent on appointing lampard and wouldn’t surprise me if he decided to before the luton match. But RVN applying (if rumours are to be believed) has probably thrown a spanner in the works.

I think the point he was trying to make really badly was that you have to be selective with loans. You have to play them otherwise their clubs become unhappy your not developing them and they might as well be back with them or somewhere else. It can also sour the relationships with the clubs who...

To be fair regardless of who’s right or wrong on what happened with this, Chris Ramsey didn’t exactly fill me with any sort of confidence that he would have been the elite coach to turn things round. His record at QPR and getting them to play great football isn’t exactly glowing so whatever...

I certainly agree we lack leadership/experience in the squad on and off the field something that definitely needs addressing.

I agree with the recruitment failure part. Clearly the players bought in haven’t been good enough so far and Doug and the recruitment team should be rightly scrutinised for that. Also for not securing other targets which we’ve missed out on. He’s taken the view the manager/head coach should be...

Can’t find any quote to suggest there is. Think it’s based on the assumption we haven’t had any this summer but as you say either they didn’t find a good fit or they pursued permanent signings they thought were better. DK was chairman last year and we had Binks and ayari.

Agreed and obviously I hope we do but I think the reality at this moment in time with how we’ve been playing is we are more looking at making sure we aren’t looking over our shoulders than looking up. I’d have said the same even if robins was still in charge. To me my expectations changed when...

To be realistic it’s not 3 wins though is it. It would be 3 wins if you expected no one above us to win any games at all over that period. Also with our defensive record as it is and these next couple of fixtures coming up we will need a while to chalk up them 3 wins.

I think this is the case also. Obviously there is a desire to match the head coach style system that successful prem clubs use. I don’t think he really cared whether Mark fitted in with that or not it’s the way he wants this club to go. I think he probably hoped it would suit Robins as then he...

I agree that all roles need to be looked at and whether they are performing as they should be. That’s goes for head scout and recruitment department as well. Clearly he thinks for now changing the head coach is enough I’m not so sure time will tell.

Agreed I think the difference this year was there wasn’t a great sign of performances improving unlike previous years. Previous seasons they kind of hit form and off they went. This season every time we’ve got a result we’ve stumbled again and put on a performance where the players just haven’t...

That is the worry and trying to stave off relegation until that happens.

I don’t really know who I want. Let’s face it every manager linked is gonna have positives and negatives as we are not the sort of club that’s gonna get an anorim where everything they’ve touched has turned to gold. Your gonna get linked with coaches that have top coaching badges but are...

Are DK and the board thinking they need a bigger name to attract the type of players they are looking at? Missed out on a few targets in the summer was working with Robins not a big enough pull? Not saying it was all down to this but maybe a factor. Before anyone says anything I think Robins...

Sad day to be honest there’s not a single person including DK who wouldn’t have wanted this to be different. Mixed feelings yes the results since feb/march haven’t been great and any other manager prob would have been sacked weeks ago. However, this man has done so much and had a lot of...

What I replied to you literally said we should be challenging for automatics that is what I disagree with which I took you meant as minimum. If that’s not what you meant then fair enough. If it is I just think that’s unrealistic. My point being the money we’ve spent has literally just bought...

Just because we’ve spent money the last couple of transfer windows doesn’t mean we should automatically be challenging for automatics. Firstly we’ve had to sell our two best players who were the heartbeat of the team and rebuild. If somehow we could have kept them and spend this money it might...

Probably would have took a point before the game and certainly take one after. Lati and binks were pretty solid and palmer and jds made a difference when they came on. However, I think we need to work a lot harder especially with movement off the ball up front and holding up the ball. Our build...

Very concerning first half performance again. 3 games out of 4 we’ve started poorly and completely off the pace. Lack of press, lack of composure on the ball and lack of movement. They need to work harder. Can argue about a couple of fouls in the build up to their goal but we’ve got exactly what...

I think this is the one signing that actually excites me most. The fact we all know that it’s a position that we have pretty good cover for but yet we’ve still gone out and signed him must mean they highly rate this lads potential. He’s also got plenty of time to adapt to English football...
