Frankly, I don’t think those managers would be averaging better than 1.8 points without our 3 best players.
Robins, RVN and Bloomfield have won less games than Lampard combined. RVN is averaging 0.85 points a game and a 23% win rate is worse than Lampard at Everton, for reference and if we’re judging them by the same standards as you and others judged Lampard.
His record is pretty much what he’s doing here. Tactically poor, reliant on an outstanding performer (in this case Dovin) and not massively improving the teams situation while spending a fair amount (£4m on Grimes). You don’t need to watch every game there’s this thing called the internet where people who have sit around discussing them all day.
I know we’re in a purple patch so you’re not allowed to say it and it’s crowing season and I will still change my avatar if we’re still in this form at the end of the month, but we are 10th with a squad that finished 9th last season. Let’s have a little perspective.
Finally something I agree with.Gus was absolutely an instant success. I’m not sure how this meme took hold tbh.
He was sent off on his debut and struggled to settle was my memory of his first season with us . Even as late as the playoff season he was still having disciplinary problems .Gus was absolutely an instant success. I’m not sure how this meme took hold tbh.
For some reason people have misremembered the Robins era as being all flowing football and winning 4-0 every week, when it is what most Championship games are, tight and winning by the odd goal.The fuck are you on about now? Just weird.
Is there some trauma from Robins going that makes you think before he left we were smashing everybody 7-0 every week?

I agree he looked good from the off but an instant success is pushing it
This is what I mean though. In reality we’ve gone from 14th to 10th and you’re making it out like some all time great achievement. Hence my poking in this thread.

Wasn't he homesick for a lot of his early days with usTBF he started well but lost form to the extent that he lost his place in the side after we were beaten at QPR. I think the players had a big meeting afterwards and from then we won a couple to pretty much guarantee safety.
All about opinions I guessHe was one of our best players from day one. He got sent off after four games thanks to the Bournemouth player taking a dive and that set his reputation.
Can't argue with the results.
I think the performances have been mixed at best & there have been some strange tactical decisions.
Now we are in touching distance of the playoffs though, the results are all that matters. If we do happen to make it though, we will need to be much better to stand a chance imo.
Except you spent the last few pages telling us its performances that matter not results. Do you want to pick a side?Basically. Prepare for the destruction of your mentions.

If you can't argue with the results how can the tactical decisions be strange? They have literally got us the results you can't argue with.Can't argue with the results.

This clown has no support from anyone anymore.
One of my absolute favourite CCFC moments.Absolutely. The foundation of that team was a solid defence that kept clean sheets with a sprinkle of brilliance in Hamer and Vik. We definitely rode our luck and may not have even made the playoffs in 22/23 had it not been for Wilson’s goal at Blackburn away.
After he was sent off at Blues there were a few on here who wanted us to get rid of himIf I remember,he started to become better after he got sent off v Blues
Hahah you crying so much lately. I didn't even know you existed till a few days ago but you seem obsessed with meStick to speaking for yourself. He's got an opinion, I agree with some of what he says. I disagree with some of it, and I'll discuss it. If you're not capable of the same and want to turn it into Primary School popularity bullsh*t, you're the problem, not him.
Doesn't mean they are sustainable. Our xG numbers have dropped off quite a bit since the turn of the year for example. Also, our weaknesses are more likely to be exploited by better sides. As @clint van damme rightly says though, we're not alone in that.If you can't argue with the results how can the tactical decisions be strange?

Oh damn, I was really loving all our xG victories.Doesn't mean they are sustainable. Our xG numbers have dropped off quite a bit since the turn of the year for example. Also, our weaknesses are more likely to be exploited by better sides. As @clint van damme rightly says though, we're not alone in that.
It's hardly a pile on. Posters are allowed to question decisions and style of play under Lampard . We're all still Cov fansI knew the Lampard pile on would come back at some point, I just didn't expect it to be when he's won 5 of his last 6 league games and got us in touching distance of play offs. Truly strange stuff.
It is hardly a pile on, we are allowed to be critical of FL and still back himI knew the Lampard pile on would come back at some point, I just didn't expect it to be when he's won 5 of his last 6 league games and got us in touching distance of play offs. Truly strange stuff.
Crazy isn't it? Also don't forget the injuries. He's doing a great job and we should be excited about the prospect of returning playersI knew the Lampard pile on would come back at some point, I just didn't expect it to be when he's won 5 of his last 6 league games and got us in touching distance of play offs. Truly strange stuff.
Strangely people digging a lot deeper into a winning Lampard than they were into a losing Robins. Almost like they can't let it go or something.It is hardly a pile on, we are allowed to be critical of FL and still back him
Who's complaining? There seems to be a weird obsession against any hint of criticism against FL .Again...5 wins in 6 and there's still complaining.
We remain the biggest underperformers of xG by a long distance mindDoesn't mean they are sustainable. Our xG numbers have dropped off quite a bit since the turn of the year for example. Also, our weaknesses are more likely to be exploited by better sides. As @clint van damme rightly says though, we're not alone in that.

We have momentum, the players appear more confident and we have some of our better players returning. Should be an exciting run inTo be honest I'm not really worried about the better sides for now.
As long as we hold our own against those around us we should be OK.
