I can understand Lampard trying to play a settled side for a few games.
But he better drop Collins and JDS after this.
Terrible players.

The new coaches would have struggled to oversee this result today

These are good players. The coaching has been off since it was changed early in the year. Robin's had problems with it and Vivash clearly had issues. You can see players are not sure of their roles. The Vivash/Robin's combination would have continued their good work and had us top six. Where did it go wrong since an FA Cup semi final with the same players? Lampard is not the answer but Doug King wanted to set the club up like a good salesman with huge improvements around the place, track suit wearing coaches and fitness guru's. The problem is you play on a footbal pitch and if you let the players think they just have to turn up then inevitably they are found wanting. Back to basics, with a good manager is what we need and lampard imo will never be it. If you are given a brilliant start after 4 minutes and then even missed easy chances to put the game out of sight then find yourself 4-1 down is a sign of a lack of control and basic coaching ability. Like so many great players they are hopeless coaches. Do we still have Robin's and Vivash's numbers? I see those 27k gates dropping like a stone now...great business King!

"Good players" don't throw the ball into their own net, unless you think Lampard instructed him to do that?

Face facts, Robins wasted £43m

Portsmouth are a poor side but we haven’t laid a glove on them second half. And with the way we have defended a Sunday league would have a chance beating us

I’m afraid the whole game changed when Collins dived straight over the ball for the first goal. Complete momentum change. He’s basically absolutely useless. And then we’re just brittle. Defensively we are totally shocking. Totally shocking.

Definition of madness is doing the same thing and expect a different result.

With that in mind I want Dovin back in and Kitching deserves a start alongside Bobby.

Yes I know Collins made some good saves on Satdee(ones he should be saving) but his distribution (esp under pressure ) is appalling.

Binks switches off way too much-loses concentration and gives away too many chances (same for Milan but we ain’t got an alternative!). Although Lati is slightly better than Binks it’s about time we gave Kitching a chance.

The rest basically picks itself.

One minor point is the drop off in Eccles form since Lampard took over, when in reality with better coaching it should be better.

Sheaf also needs to concentrate as there’s only a small amount of sloppy passing that he can get away with once we get some midfield reinforcements in January. (His ball retention is amazing tho).

This back four can’t defend.

We’ve known it for weeks now and I’ve now idea why Lampard persists in playing them.

Collins doesn’t inspire confidence, Binks switches off all the time. Dasilva is too small and Bobby Thomas heads drops far too easily.

So again-he can’t pick that back 4 ever again

He always is.

He needs to be told to fuck off from videos and that shit thing he does after games.

He will be laughing and joking with their players at full time.

c**t thinks he should be at Ajax and in the Dutch team

We've turned from a progressive exciting club on the up to this mess in about 18 months.

The Coventry public are fickle and Doug won't be able to balance the books when everybody thinks better of paying £500 a year/£40 a week to watch this shite next year.

Depressing to think we could of signed Bishop for fuck all a few years ago when he was at Leamington
We new all about him and we were told to take a punt on him.

The fact we are in the Championship after being at our lowest point for decades is testament to his abilities.

It's fair to say that when we eventually ended up with a budget that it was squandered on the dross we're watching, but to let that detract from the monumental success up to that point is bone-headed revisionism.

It’s complete luck of the draw to be alive during good or bad times. Most fans did not want MR sacked either.
