TBF to Coleman etc every era has the odd high spot. I seem to recall a couple of decent fa cup games (Blackburn Rovers?), clinging on for a point against wolves with a westwood penalty save... battling for a point against Preston... err... I'm struggling - it was a long time ago. I do get how...

Ha, did we? Fair enough, I've completely forgotten that.

Honestly guys, l can't agree with these takes at all. Deciding after 5 games we 'weren't where we were supposed to have been'? Up until Portsmouth only Leeds had shown us up. We were in every game and creating chances. We didn't lose by more than a 1 goal margin and in terms of performance...

If you believe xG counts for anything we 'should have been 3rd behind Leeds and Boro' when we sacked Robins and by the looks of that our stats are still encouraging under Lampard (irrespective of the standard of opposition). We have been consistently underperforming xG this season at one stage...

And Tavares on the other side? 😬

Hmm... not convinced. I think if things carry on as they are season tickets will be down for 25/26. We are likely to have a bit of turn over in terms of players and if we want to attract the right sort of player we could maybe do with showing a bit of form between now and May?

I feel Lampard is slowly drawing the same conclusions as his full time predecessors. He started with Collins, Dasilva in a back 4 and Bassette up top and is gradually moving towards the side most fans would pick.

Here we go again with the 'true facts'. We conceded ~1.3 goals a game under Robins. Not great but it wasn't until after it shot up pretty dramatically. Last few games have been a bit of an improvement but mostly because the other teams haven't really attacked/taken their chances. Having Dovin...

Not really excusing Sheaf as he was... not great but he'd pass the ball to people in decent crossing positions and they would pass it straight back to him so... what is he going to do? Also (might be wrong here) but wasn't it him that put in the cross for our only real chance of the second half?

We used to have an awful record at the riverside too. Now they view Robins as the antichrist. These things matter til they don't matter.

Norwich is a long way away. Really not feeling this one. Always seats at the 365 right? 👹

Lucky to have taken anything off Cardiff this season. Two poor performances where we have benefitted from refereeing decisions.

Hmm... interesting. I think the fact that we did at least advertise for a first team coach supports the idea that Robins was still in his plans at the beginning of the season. It is notable however that by his own admttion Robins had been badgering Doug about making a change since March and Doug...

Worth pointing out this is another 100% genuine internet fact with the full weight of 'some guy on the twitter said' behind it. 😂

🙄🥱

I'm absolutely baffled by what those numbers relate to. Robins also won 3 of his last 7 against (on paper) better opposition. Is it lampard's record at Chelsea? If so, yes he is doing better here.

Keeper should probably have done better with three of them.

Ah... the difference here appears to be that you are Brummagem Standard model of mathematics. It is more common if you want to calculate points per game to divide the number of points (11) by the number of games (7). The difference probably won't alter your conclusion though so... let's not get...

There is certainly some eye raising positivity from some posters who once held very different standards and some mind bending revisionism of what has passed. 🤔 Best just to ignore it though. They might seem like they have been replaced by Dougbots now but I reckon by march we'll have all...

I do wonder if we could adequately replace him for the money we are likely to receive right now, let alone fund improvements elsewhere. He stock was quite high after the Man U game where he looked every inch a PL player. This season - less so. No doubt Dean Austin will have identified some...
