Head coach rather than manager winds me up way more than it shouldA message from Frank
Nice words and no throat scratching body language (which usually means someone doesn't mean what they are saying)
Head coach rather than manager winds me up way more than it should
Almost a 60% win ratio in the league i believe
Looks very much like it. I've always found it slightly mystifying why the first few months of the season for this and last season were so bad. The gelling thing was one excuse ( other teams seemed to get going from the off with new squads ) and this season was just poor from a playing and management perspective .If Lampard had this group all season, top 2 was genuinely on.
Shitty formatting, but this is how the table looks since FL took over.
1. Leeds United – 40pts, GD +31 (P 18)
2. Coventry City – 36pts, GD +8 (P 18)
3. Burnley – 35pts, GD +19 (P 17)
4. Sheffield United – 35pts, GD +7 (P 17)
5. Sunderland – 32pts, GD +6 (P18)
6. QPR – 30pts, GD +8 (P 17)
7. Bristol City – 27pts, GD +6 (P 17)
8. Blackburn – 27pts, GD +2 (P 18)
9. Portsmouth – 27pts, GD -1 (P 19)
10. Norwich – 26pts, GD +2 (P 18)

Agree. There is so much more awareness about many of the team and many of them have improved through the coaching.The attention to detail is there under Lampard and his team.
The broad plan is more of less the same. We move the ball quicker and get the ball in the box earlier. Defensively, the box has been defended a lot better consistently since Lampard has come in.
The second goal today where EMC just chased down the header was fantastic and pressuring the keeper aggressively is in the playbook (see Wednesday away too).

I have every confidence that Doug buys in to this. The benefits are clear to see and I feel more confident than ever that young signings with potential will fulfil their abilitiesWe have a UCL winning assistant manager and that Jones has coached at Chelsea under the best managers to ever do it (Ancelotti, Mourinho and more). The quality of coaching is telling on the pitch.
I’m hoping our success will allow Lampard to expand the set up and get 1-2 more top quality coaches through the door.
Leeds have been brilliantWarning warning manager of the month alert!!!
Leeds have been brilliant
Really love farke
Yep agreedWe need to get on the polls and vote against Lampard…
I’ve just looked at Leeds results and they have a 100% record against Cardiff, Watford, Sunderland, Sheffield United and of course, ourselves. Farke genuinely deserves MOTM because that’s a tough run in!
Never seen it before on sofa scoreI'm sure Lampard will get it and we'll duly lose to Stoke.
But this is the Lampard that layed to rest the Swansea and Preston hoodoo.I'm sure Lampard will get it and we'll duly lose to Stoke.
We've bounced back nicely from 2 defeats in a row recently.FL and his coaches just are a higher level of anything than we have had before. They have a plan for each game and have got enough flexibility in the squad to implement it. The hardest job now is to keep everyone happy, everyone engaged at Ryton while keeping complacency away from the group
A loss will come but its how we bounce back will be the key.
I think dropping out of the f.a. cup was a big bonus for us. It keeps us 100% focused on a top 6 finish, and stops us having a potential fixture pile up.I didn't expect to beat Leeds or seeing the team picked for Ipswich that one either. Its a game we lose we expect to win that could be where we truly see the mentality
Does anyone know if 8 wins from 9 is a record? I know winning 6 on the bounce is a record, but I can't remember us ever returning 24 points from 27... That's prime Man City esque dominance, that

Ah, good stats, cheers for that!Record over ten games is 9 wins and a draw they said on CWR. This is first 8 in 9 since the 60s. I want to say 67.
We are Cov fans after all........Its why I get a pessimistic feeling that we'll drop points in the next 2 games because even though they're both winnable 10 wins from 11 just doesn't seem possible, I just can't compute that sort of return!
Yeah, the next one is set up to be a draw or worse I feel... But we'll see!Its why I get a pessimistic feeling that we'll drop points in the next 2 games because even though they're both winnable 10 wins from 11 just doesn't seem possible, I just can't compute that sort of return!
It will be interesting as I assume that against all these teams he will get to play his preferred formation rather than 5 ATB .Yeah, the next one is set up to be a draw or worse I feel... But we'll see!
I really want to see us beat one of Sunderland, Sheffield United or Burnley. That's the only unanswered question Lampard has left I think - beating a really good team. He's only really had Leeds in the league so far, so will be interesting to see what happens in those games.
