Lol Lampard might not be here the end of the season or he might be here for a good few years, he might fail but then again he might get us promoted! Who knows, but we got to back him and give him the time required, well depends on deadly DougAlways hard to come in after a club legend, then you add the rest like you said and it’s worse.
Think Lampard will do well here. Have been wrong before (Thought Pressley would get us from the Championship) but I think you have to back the manager regardless of whether you wanted him.
Course it’s not what I wanted but you know always next time
Doug will allow Lamps players in whether now or in the summer.

Well it's a good fucking job I don't own a scarf thenOr alternatively we have fans who have a real understanding and complete respect for what Robins did as one of our most successful managers of all time - he saved this club from L2 and complete despair and took it to a penalty shoot out from the Prem.
28-29K fans in our stadium - that's down to Robins.
For those who remember the dark days, a club without a home and free falling down the leagues in front of 6,000 that is out of this world and I never thought I would see it.
We move on but any fan who shows disrespect to Robins shouldn't be wearing the scarf.
Loan as he's got time on his contract
You still need squad depth and it’s only taken 2 injuries to Wright and EMC to necessitate a formation change.He barely starts right now?
Lampard obviously wants to play 4231, where does that leave BTA? Arguably 4th choice at striker (behind Simms, Wright & Bassette). He's looked fairly awkward on the wings, would be 3rd choice on the left anyway and you'd hope we'll bring in a RW or Raphael steps up.
He's not particularly good at getting chances and not great at taking them when they come either.
Realistically if we can get near what we paid for him at any point you have to take it.
Wright isn't gonna play on the right. Don't see how he'd be effective without being able to cut in on his strong foot.You still need squad depth and it’s only taken 2 injuries to Wright and EMC to necessitate a formation change.
At full strength, you’ll have a front 3 of EMC-Simms-Wright and you’ve only got 3 players on the bench for those spots; Bassette, BTA and Sakamoto.
A major flaw in signing 2 strikers in the summer window is that for Robins, he didn’t really know who to play and how. The result was basically a mish-mash of all the options and simultaneously unsettling the players and getting the best out of neither of them.
In specific relation to BTA, his problems are similar to Simms’ too. Neither player has been given a consistent run in the best position to have an impact. BTA isn’t going to be a top tier Championship striker but frankly, that wasn’t the intention in all likelihood. A strategy of starting Simms and bringing on BTA was sound in principle and an objective upgrade on Godden. Signing Bassette has meant that BTA has often been deployed as a RW/LW and that’s not his best position.
Personally, I think EMC ends up on the right. Wright and EMC are just too too good to drop and Simms is just a better option than Sakamoto overall. I’ve consistently said that the logical end point of this team has got to be EMC-Simms-Wright as our front 3. It has by far the most firepower.Wright isn't gonna play on the right. Don't see how he'd be effective without being able to cut in on his strong foot.
Our strongest front 3 right now is EMC - Wright - Sakamoto, assuming Wright plays well in the centre of a 3. If not, Wright - Simms - Saka.
BTA is just never gonna play centrally in that system. And he doesn't look like a winger. Selling him for £2m and spending it on a RW would be best for both us and him IMO.
Did you know it's OK to still have admiration for Robins for saving our club from oblivion yet give full backing for Lampard.Well said and we’ve got prat’s still pining for Robins.
Just reeks of agent talk but I could be wrong

Right now, if Lampard had everyone available he probably does play Sakamoto-Wright-EMC. So you’re quite right to question where that leaves BTA. My concern is that we don’t want to selling players for a loss only one year into their contract, that’s too panicky and not a good way to conduct transfer business.
It took EMC a stretch of 4/5 games before many people had to U-turn on their opinions of him. BTA could provide a good bit of utility in the next 2-3 weeks and perceptions change.
Really odd the way some want BTA out. I suppose it must be because we have Simms and Bassette literally losing count if their goal tallies.
Loan him out to L1 to fire in some goals or otherwise prove he isn’t up to parReally odd the way some want BTA out. I suppose it must be because we have Simms and Bassette literally losing count if their goal tallies.
Agreed that should be the calibre we go forGuiu and Mitchell are exactly the type of loans we should be trying to get in, they are being used in Europe though for Chelsea so I doubt we’ve got any chance
Easily, both really good up and coming talents! Exciting for the summer if true and that’s when most of there best loans will be available so we have to make sure we get in early for the best onesAgreed that should be the calibre we go for
We would only look at a striker if strikers plural leftWhat Chelsea have now told Frank Lampard after Coventry manager asks for ‘exceptional’ attacker on loan
Bad news for Super Frank.www.thechelseachronicle.com
Agree. Register Bassette correct, unregister 2 goalkeepers, and loan out BTA, get in Guiu and George.Easily, both really good up and coming talents! Exciting for the summer if true and that’s when most of there best loans will be available so we have to make sure we get in early for the best ones
That’s why tyrique and guiu or any players of that calibre would probably be best for the summer as we’d then have them for the season however, if we could bin off players like bta and other players who are poor then loaning in quality could give us a chance in the second half of the seasonWe would only look at a striker if strikers plural left
We have 1 squad space left as it stands and all loans no matter what age have to be registered as part of the 25 man squad.
how likely is it that some fella on the internet has realised a player is registered incorrectly and no one at the club has, even when they are trying to juggle squad sizes?Agree. Register Bassette correct, unregister 2 goalkeepers, and loan out BTA, get in Guiu and George.
Avoiding my question I’ve posed to you againhow likely is it that some fella on the internet has realised a player is registered incorrectly and no one at the club has, even when they are trying to juggle squad sizes?
still, keep making yourself look silly
You could also deregister Fabio. Not like he’s getting a look in atm if you can’t shift BTA.Agree. Register Bassette correct, unregister 2 goalkeepers, and loan out BTA, get in Guiu and George.
what? if you want to keep making yourself look silly then crack onAvoiding my question I’ve posed to you again
I’ve asked you why we can’t register Bassette as an u21, when Sunderland and Watford have registered overseas u21 signings as u21what? if you want to keep making yourself look silly then crack on
i'll look forward to you getting angry and violent later on when you are wrong
Answered that fella, I'll look forward to you calling me a c**tI’ve asked you why we can’t register Bassette as an u21, when Sunderland and Watford have registered overseas u21 signings as u21

All rules listed in here What are the EFL squad rules for 2024/25? Loanee limits, home grown players and how many subs are allowedI’ve asked you why we can’t register Bassette as an u21, when Sunderland and Watford have registered overseas u21 signings as u21
I know, and from reading the rules it’s clear Bassette could be registered as an u21
Put on the other chat but could it be because he’s one of our ESC players. Assume part of that would be proving you want to play the player as a first teamer?I know, and from reading the rules it’s clear Bassette could be registered as an u21
