That’s Liz Truss territory that poor bloke

Don’t know how else to word it? General football fans? It was mostly based on the banter I’ve been getting from non-Cov supporting friends but I guess have a quick look at social media too (attached as an example seeing as you asked). He’s definitely a bit of a “meme”. Anyway, let’s hope he...

Whatever you think of him as a coach, he has always come across as a really decent bloke. Our rep as a club is taking a bit of a battering for this from the wider footballing community though, judging by the amount of messages I’m getting from non-Cov fans laughing at this appointment. Let’s...

Has to be higher than 9th surely. If 9th and an FA Cup semi final wasn’t good enough for Robins to keep his job then surely the new guy has to do better with a supposedly better squad.

Whats great about football is opinions but I don’t see how our attack is comfortably worthy of top 6. Wright is probably the only one for me. But only through sky blue tinted glasses could Simms, Bassette and BTA be classed as top 6 strikers, in my opinion.

Back to the thread, interestingly betting markets have reopened after a spell of being closed as it seemed a done deal. Lampard is still favourite but Eustace down to 10/3.

I was talking about recent form mate. It’s generally considered that form is circa the last 6 games. The point I’m making is that I don’t see the rush to fire him before having someone else lined up. If he wanted Robins gone, that’s up to him and he has the right to make that call but I think...

If you’re feeling shit and want to feel a little bit better before you go to sleep, console yourself that you’re not me. I’m still on the £500 premier league package and so far this season have only been able to watch 2 games live. My cost per game so far this season is £250 😂 it can always be worse

Because Dean Austin told him it was. Nelt to do with me guv’nor, I dealt him a great deck, he’s just playing the wrong cards. Recruitment has been shocking since Badlan left.

Seems a reasonable response 👍 Not that I need to engage with someone like you but if the action was a carefully considered decision made before Derby as suggested, we were literally in play off points form. You can’t argue with that, it’s numbers mate. (10 points from 6 games = 77 points).

League position is different to form mate. We had 10 points from 6 games coming into derby. (That’s a 77 point season form I.e playoffs)

The more I think about it, the more I think Doug and Robins had a proper row after Derby and it was an emotional, reactive decision. To not have anyone lined up to come in before sacking a manager that was in top 6 form is so fucking naive.

The fact Lampard isn’t even on there suggests it’s a done deal here surely. Why hasn’t it been officially announced

He mentions the target of “3 play off seasons in 5 years” which is something I’d forgotten about. Surely by that logic, you should give a manager the time until they can no longer achieve it, otherwise the target is actually play offs every season, otherwise you get sacked. We’ll never know if...

Doesn’t scream goals does it but in fairness he doesn’t have too many attacking options

Funny, I’ve always thought it’s had the negative effect on him… I.e people under-rate him because he’s seen to just be a kid from the acadamy and a cheap option doing a job. If we paid £1m for him people would value him more imo

Think you might be mixing @PVA up with my comments. I was the one that said I’d’ve kept Biamou on for another year as a squad player and I probably wouldn’t have resigned Gyokeres after that loan at the time. Genuinely though, is it tiring just constantly trying to argue with everyone. I reckon...

Good news and he’s deserved better terms. I think his last contract was seen as a low risk gamble for us and Eccles was probably happy to sign as he was in and out of the team (mostly due to injury) but also wasn’t getting in at CM ahead of Hamer and Sheaf. He’s deserved this if true. It would...

Pure class. Not even a sniff of a snide remark or cryptic retort to being publicly scapegoated by a man pathetically trying to save face. He’s already a legend but I think it’ll be even greater in the coming years when I predict he’ll be the 7 year blip of brilliance either side of decades of...
