Not sure Stoke have a reputation
Not sure Stoke have a reputationThat's the same for every manager.
Lampard has clearly taken us to another level. With a bit of investment in January, there’s no reason why we can’t aim for the top 2.
This season in particular looks like the best chance for a while.
Nobody seems to be running away with it so far, and I can't see Middlesbrough keeping up their form.
Ipswich will probably climb the table at some point
Yes I enjoy how he talks up our own players rather than fluffing the opposition too much.I remember a press conference with Lampard last season and they were talking about the good players the other side had, rather than just agreeing he said "Well yeah, we've got good players too"
Robins would never have had us playing like this.
There's a real excitement in knowing that if we hit our usual levels we'll beat anyone in the league, and hand out some proper thrashings to boot.
Probably true but not relevant to this thread?Without Robins we might not of existed and certainly wouldn't have been a top 3rd championship side capable of attracting Lampard

You’re the one who mentioned RobinsProbably true but not relevant to this thread?

...because the thread was about replacing him?You’re the one who mentioned Robins
I haven’t got a bad word to say about Robins. In hindsight it was right for both parties to part ways but he’s proving what a top manager he is at StokeIt's weird the amount of people who'll jump all over remarks made about our goalkeeping coach or the performance director but are happy to let snide remarksabout Robins slide.

Yep definitely. Lampard has so far taken us to another level. The difference I notice the most is the fitness of the players. I don’t know if it’s just me but everyone seems sharper and fitterAgree. Though I don't really care what he does at Stoke.
Same as I don't care what Lampard did at Chelsea, only bothered about what they did here.
The thing I worry with that is are the players going to be over exerting and we're going to run into injury problems playing two games a week in the freezing winter? Are levels going to drop off towards the end of the season as players just can't do it anymore?Yep definitely. Lampard has so far taken us to another level.
