If he gets us up he's justified the appointment

Do they though? I suspect on these markets they rake it in by just putting up a list of former players, champo managers recently out of a job and one of Rooney/Lampard/Gerrard, then just slash the odds on anyone that actually gets backed in case they are in the running.

Club have a new policy about not disclosing details of injuries - not mysterious Bassette took an elbow v Boro and missed a game - not mysterious Sheaf wanted to play so did everything he could to make the game but couldn't - not mysterious Dovin and Simms are the only ones that could be...

have a day off

Haven't seen this mentioned anywhere - head injury? Sounds slightly worrying.

I suspect not given the fan forum is tonight To be fair, there doesn't seem to be that much noise around us getting Lampard other than the bookies odds?

If we finish ~10th ish then the new manager will have averaged playoff form or close to it. The hope would be that he carries that into next season and we have a chance at promotion. This is also undoubtedly one of the reasons Robins was sacked, because over the last 3 seasons he's...

We have less points this season than we did then.

you keep repeating this 8 points off the playoffs, it means little when there are 11 teams between us and 6th place. History shows you need 74 ish points to make the playoffs, to get there we'll need to average a ppg rate that would get us near the automatic spots over a full season.

I genuinely think people have lost brain cells since the sacking. Basic logic has gone out of the window.

have you read the thread? I said top 10 should be the target for the new manager. But apparently according to others anything less than playoffs from this point is a failure, even though we have wasted 1/3 of the season and would have to go an incredible run to get there.

Doing better than Robins would be finishing 16th 🤣

And I'm not surprised the feverish Robins loyalists are now setting unrealistic expectations for the new manager so they can inevitably call him a "failure" and pat themselves on the back for being right.

Yes. Style will be important. Obviously won’t be popular with some on here but it definitely played a part in Robins sacking.

We’re really not

We rebuilt last year. This season had to be better. I was expecting a top 6 finish this year in the knowledge that if we don’t go up we’d be likely to lose a few next summer and might need another rebuild.

Genuinely, what are we consolidating? Mid table?

He’s probably still quicker than Lati

W2 D1 L2 is not play off form by any stretch of the imagination. And that was our best 5 game run of the season.

Our recent form is play off form? What are you smoking?
