    Cov v Stoke

    The EMC Wright thing will be easy to start with. EMC on for the first 60 to 70 minutes then swap with Wright. When both are up to match fitness I have faith in Lampard to do the right thing.

    Doug got it right

    I thought I read somewhere he was manager but could be wrong.

    Like I said they're not a bad side. But the only way I see us not winning this one is if luck goes against us. They've scored 1 goal in their last 6 games. Before then they were flying after his appointment. 5 wins, 2 draws and just 1 defeat. That was to Leeds in his first game.

    Doug got it right

    I can't believe people are still arguing over this. A lot has changed since Robins left. The announcement of Lampard took ages. It could have gone either way. Things were turning toxic at our club. But it seems Lampard wanted to do things his way or not join us. You can't blame him because if...

    Very close even game.....3-0 😂 We're going to absolutely hammer someone soon. Next 4 games maybe. Wouldn't mind waiting until we play Sunderland. We're only 12 points behind them. We were 21 points behind them just 8 games ago. Keep this going and 4th isn't out of reach.

    Oxford are not a bad Championship side. They're also not a good Championship side. Their biggest problem is scoring goals. Our defence should be able to cope with what they have. If we can put together just half of the Preston performance we should win this game. Our confidence is brimming and...

    Frank or Mark?

    Wealthy? Would only have been 1 weeks wage as a player 😁

    Championship thread 24/25!

    There's a good chance we would have had Gyokeres and Hamer. We don't know if we would have invested or not. Personally I think Luton did the right thing. They will have banked a lit of money for a new ground. Much better than spending 100m and going straight back down and having a fire sale as...

    Frank or Mark?

    I agree. Maybe a London team would have a big pull for him. He won't need the big salary though. And if we don't go up this season I can see us going up in the top 2 next season. There's more to life than earning more money, especially if you already have enough. I just think the challenge...

    So it was the result you expected?

    Frank or Mark?

    I'm not so sure. Nearly 10 years ago Robins found out the grass isn't always greener on the other side. When he came back he stayed until pushed. Lampard has already previously got the push. He won't need the money as he earned more in a year than most people in a lifetime. With us he has...

    The ghost of O’Hare finally laid to rest?

    Correct. But since Lampard has turned up we have added the experience we needed which was a policy change. 3.5m to 4m for a player nearly 30? Now we have added Paterson who is 33. Neither will have a resale value when they leave. 2 players with a combined age of 62. Before we would have wanted 3...

    He even played the advantage a couple of times when the advantage would have been giving a free kick in a dangerous position.

    The ghost of O’Hare finally laid to rest?

    His best two months by far with us. Who would you drop for him? Rudoni? Yes O'Hare and Rudoni are totally different players. Rudoni doesn't constantly go missing in games. Bigger, stronger and scores goals as well as making plenty of assists. This is his first season with us. He is still...

    This place is unbelievable sometimes. Great performance, very good win yet some still seem to be looking for a player to berate. Great team performance and every player played their part. EMC is getting back up.to speed. Didn't have the game we have got used to but Great cross for the goal...

    Frank or Mark?

    Do you really think that any of us didn't hope it would work out? We have exceeded all hopes since his signing. Anyone who still says they would have preferred to have kept Robins must have an agenda. I for one was weary of the swap. Have seen many new managers fail for us over the years. But...

    To expect the win yes. I never expect to beat any side that has only lost 1 in the last 10. But as i said I thought we would win. There's a massive difference. Look at how close they came to getting the draw. The Championship is so close. Most sides can beat each other. Did you expect Swansea...

    Sometimes I see the ratings given and wonder if I watched the same game. This is one of them. To me nobody deserves a 5.

    Looked offside twice to me. Not seen a replay yet but once when their player got it on the wing and then when it got played to the player that scored.
