Yes. Let’s appoint the bloke who got us into that position.

We’ve got super Frankie LampardFrankie’s got no need for plan B
Just six men in attack
The full backs don’t get back
And a gaping hole where the midfield should be.

Do we know if they are Lampard signings or Dean Austin signings?

Early days still, but Yang Min-hyeok has seemed like a strange signing. Is he really likely to be getting more game time here than Portsmouth?
Maybe when we were blasting teams away and scoring for fun, but we're now in the trenches trying to grind out results

You know a performance is down to more than a team picked? Its his tactics.

We've signed a player for 5 million who isn't even fit. Lampard also seemed to indicate he was for the future, not now.
We should wait until Monday night but at the moment it seems a bit bizarre.

Its unacceptable but not accepting it is reactionary nonsense?
and the players being able to do what their asked, been saying for ages, that back four doesn’t get us top 2, and to be fair to Lampard they haven’t given him anything fix it ?

The only posts I've seen from you are saying every thing will be fine and our home form will get us over the line!

He’s more likely to leave than be sacked, mainly as he’s wanted reinforcements but to date not much materialised….
this is, and I’ve said it before, a big issue between the two and all is not rosey
John Terry, or Ashley Cole would fix this defence, but ask why he hasn’t brought them in.
I think you also need to separate out two things here, position and form, because people saying ‘would you have taken this at the start of the season’ well yeah, of course anybody would take top of the league with 16 games to go, but it’s the difference between me saying we got there by winning 6 on the bounce versus we got there then dropped 12 points from winning positions
I don’t think Frank should be sacked, I think it’s ridiculous at this point in the season, however any decision would and should be made on current form and performances, and not league position alone

we’ve been watching him for ages and we had a chance to sign him so we did, he even said it’s one for the future, but if theres a chance he can help us the he will, stop making things up, You do know Lampard doesn’t find the players right ?

To be fair last couple of months he's been operating to that job description, so pretty solid job security for him I'd think.
He was very lucky not to be sacked a couple of times in his tenure for having long winning runs, rescued by results end of last season, and may manage to save himself if can extend the current run.
So there’s no chance it will ? Actually there’s no point in asking you, you’ve said we we’ve got no chance of beating mboro, that’s the spirit we need

To be fair, they are both getting on a bit now, but could probably still do a job .

I was replying to a post where you said, and I quote, 'I've been saying for ages that back 4 doesn't get us top 2', you need to make your mind up
dont need to make my mind up, it doesn’t, he needs to change it, Hayden left back and wolfenden or lati in for kitching, cant keep churning out what doesn’t work, They all play like they know they won’t be dropped,

So you're saying we won't make top 2, which contradicts a lot of your other posts mate

you’re all fucking nuts
I can’t put it any clearer, I’ve said not with that back 4. I’d be amazed if Lampard sticks with MVE kitching Thomas and da silva, def something not wright with wolfenden but he can’t be much worse, one mistake he got dropped and brau, they keep making them ?don’t get it, it yeah, we’ll still get top 2, got to believe mate else what’s the point

He and his team took us to the play offs last year despite the poor start. He/They have had us outperforming for months. Yes things have gone pear shaped since December but this is not a Mowbray situation - they have proven they can do the job, they just need to recognise where the problems are and how to fix them.
Don't forget while the buck stops with FL, he takes advice from his coaching team. Perhaps not unlike the opinions shared on here where many of us think we know what needs to be done. If anything needs addressing it's a bit of honesty and self reflection between them to ensure they all are listened to - if we know the issues, surely they do too.

problem We’ve got is if we get too focussed on changing how we play to stop conceding you lose what we’ve been good at all season, creating shit loads of goals, actually liked that set up today, looked a bit more solid on paper, went out the window after 5 mins, we might aswell just have gone all out attack again, wouldn’t have gone any worse

The glaring problem is throwing leads away. We continue committing players forward when shutting up shop and hitting on the break would surely be more effective.

What?! Honestly, log off.
We've dropped 12 points from winning positions in our last 7 away games.
Not once did we set up to try and protect our lead, if we had, and been successful against just Preston and Charlton, we'd be 4 points better off than we are now.
Instead we let 10 men fuck us over at Preston and left fucking Brau 1 v 1 at the back to fall over his own feet at Charlton.
Are you ok, that’s got nothing to do with what I’ve said, think you may have replied to the wrong post,

I think now is probably not the time to sack him. If we fail to get promoted, he will leave this summer either on his own accord or be asked to leave. Even if we do get promoted, do you think he will stay and if he does leave who do you think regardless of whether we get promoted, who takes over?
This is not a Lampard out, get Robins back post or anything silly like that before anyone says so.
But you'd imagine in this situation if we were in this vein of form Robins would shut up shop, go very solid, very pragmatic and try and grind out a couple of nil nils and hopefully snatch a win here and there.
Almost feels like that's what we need to do now away from home because at the moment it's clearly not working and we're just throwing points away like confetti at the moment.

This is what frustrates me.
The way we were playing was fine when the confidence was high, the players were in form and the forwards were scoring lots of goals.
But that level of performance wasn't sustainable; when energy levels dropped, or we had players out, then we should have looked to grind things out. The last few away games, with the form as it was, the first priority should have been don't concede.
When you're not playing well, be hard to beat. We are not hard to beat.

Many are enjoying our misfortune because of Lampard, how big our lead was at one point and the amazing rate at which we are dropping points (which in many ways parallels how we were picking them up and destroying teams earlier in the season). Really can't understand how poor we've become all of a sudden. It's almost a given that we'll concede a goal. Truly embarrassing and pathetic.
