I think Robins maxed out with us, I'll be surprised to see him achieve anything better than what he did with us.

Well if we consider that there arent many managers that have gone from league 2 to the championship and miss out on the prem by a spot kick .... I reckon you're right

The proof will be the year on year finishes for Lamps and Robins.
Both starting from similar positions, although Stoke are a bit of a basket case, which we were when Robins arrived.
Stoke have more money but less patience.
It is essential Managers are judged by where they finish in the league, with the proviso that injuries can scupper any team. Also see bad VAR decisions that completely change the dynamic of a season.
This appears to be the first year in 8 years we seemed to be going backwards, whatever the reason.
Lamps job is to turn it around and he has started out well. All teams have purple patches during a season. It's maintaining form that is crucial.

I don't know why there has to be an effort to downplay what Robins achieved here because he's not started brilliantly at Stoke, it's weird.

He's gone now, wonderful memories and his fantastic achievements here can't be denied.

Robins did brilliant things for us, but he was done and got away with it for a few weeks at the end I’ve said before I would have sacked him a month or so earlier, I was fed up with the same rubbish after the games which he is still using now at Stoke and I felt he gave the officials an easy ride Lampard is at them a lot more often like most teams do.

I don’t wish him or any other manager any luck.

Which is fair enough and it is what it is .

It's still weird so many fans on social media including SBT are still trying to dismiss the achievements of a bloke that gave them some of the best years they've ever had supporting the club.

It's fucking bizarre

Saying the manager is found out at championship level , saying that he only achieved what he did because of adi and Lawrence is the very definition of dismissing his achievements / ability

I pointed out that's hardly down playing his achievements.

Somebody saying "he did fuck all it was all adi" would be. (Some will have said that in the past)

"Little knob, little prick" not taking it personally though?

Whole Robins thing is getting a bit nauseating now tbh

I was annoyed at the time but C'est La Vie... dare I say and none of us said it at the time and some don't want to say it now but it may well have been the correct decision with the benefit of hindsight, as difficult as it was to see him go

Lampard has come in and done a good job so far and that is all that matters to me, how MR does at Stoke is no concern to me, I’m not actively wanting him to fail nor do I want to see him do well there and the clamour to praise him/knock him when they win/lose/draw is weird - He doesn't have to prove anything to us and he will always be a legend regardless

I hope he gets a proper welcome back and rapturous reception at some point in the future but on a Legends Day years after the dust settles and he’s not in a Stoke City tracksuit

The best thing is. It's actually you twisting things so you can take them personally.

The posts you're replying to "the one saying somebody is starting to think it was a team effort" isn't down playing anything. A few weeks ago there were more floating about when he left that you would have a point about.

"It's about time somebody told you to shut the fuck up". "Little prick" "little knob" because I said you're taking things too personally? Exactly my point.

I can't see anywhere on here people downplaying Robins achievements. He done brilliant for this club, saved us, turned us around and took us to another level. It's now somebody else's turn to take us to the next level.

Have a few days away from here and Twitter @Evo1883 . I know it's difficult, but you'll benefit massively from it.

Humans have developed a real bad addiction to interacting with strangers online. It's like crack, we just can't help ourselves sometimes. If it really is interrupting a morning swim, you need to stop.

Let's just be honest here. People shouldn't be negative about robins just like no one should have been negative about lampard right off the bat.

People are slowly realising they were wrong but only after I had to be the forum leader and put them in their places.

Robins was a legend and always will be
Lampard has started well. Judge him when the time is right not beforehand out of spite.

Let's all learn from this and start a new chapter right now.
