The players of a couple of years ago put in effort, despite being less technically gifted. Effort beats ability every time

The players have suppressed the atmosphere

These players couldn’t be arsed to put in a performance to save Robins’ job. These players couldn’t be arsed to put in a performance to impress the new manager. They may be better than the league table suggests, but their attitude absolutely stinks

As someone else said on here the other day, they want to be big Premier League players, but they don’t want to put in the effort to get that. I sincerely hope that Lampard has a nastier side than Robins did because these players don’t respond to the softly softly approach. They need to be...

Club expecting 26.5k The fact that we now consider that "disappointing" is a great thing

Lampards record is better than Robins’ record in 2017. I really don’t understand the negative overreaction. I find it baffling how many fans of other clubs want Lampard to fail (why do they dislike him? He’s a nice bloke) I find it down right insanity that some city fans seem to want him to...

Why is this time going to be different? Last time he managed in the Championship he got to the playoffs. Hopefully it IS the same as last time

Perhaps I'm reading too much into it, but this tweet suggests there will be more changes. "Taking shape" rather than "finalised"

Summarised perfectly

It could’ve been a test of the players football knowledge. See how many of them recognise him

Depends on your definition of success. I’d argue that Bryan Robson did well at Middlesbrough, and kept WBA up against the odds. Then you have people like Jack Charlton and Glenn Hoddle who were big names as players who went on to have reasonable managerial careers

In fairness how many of them go into management?

I was a fan of Robins, I will be a fan of Lampard. This forum is full of blame against Robins, various coaches, King etc. Yet those who are actually responsible for getting results seem to get off Scot free. IMO this team took advantage of Robins’ calm nature. I’d now like to see a boot up...

Well the performance against Derby wasn’t one that suggested they wanted him to stay

Hopefully he goes into the changing room and reminds them that unlike them, he has played amongst the best players in the world. So they can throw their egos in the bin and start trying to actually achieve something

Now time for the players to do their part. No more playing well when they feel like it. They wanted rid of Robins, so they got their wish and now we have someone completely different so they should be happy

Given the history of our club (especially post-2000), Lampard could turn out to be an appalling appointment and it wouldn’t even make the top 10 worst decisions made by the club

Someone on Twitter suggested 10am. They said it like they’re an ITK so it’s probably wrong

Feeling a lot more positive about this than I was a few weeks ago. This is the first time in decades where we’ve had a managerial change with the club being in decent shape off the pitch. In the Championship that is half the battle. No reason at all that we can’t keep on progressing. And I...

Fat? If Frank Lampard is fat, I must be hyper obese
