But we should have given Robins the whole season.

Yeah if you didn't say anything then don't worry. It's aimed at people who were knobs to lampard.

Admit I was wrong?

I didn't say any of those things, and didn't lay any of the blame for the ropey early performances on him at all. I don't think anyone sensible did.

I said that I had my doubts he'd be a good appointment prior to him arriving, and I'll be very happy to be proved wrong on that in the long-term.

As a random aside: Their tannoy system was fucking atrocious, genuinely couldn't make out what the announcer was saying. We were all trying to respect the minute's applause but not a clue who or what we were applauding for until the graphic came on the screen

The only disappointment is that we didn't score 3 or 4, what a great away performance.

Fair fucks to Lampard, didn't see this kind of run coming.

Just had a gander at the swans forum, not many blaming it on Grimes all of a sudden, hatred towards their gaffer, a few said he left because he could see the direction the team is going under LW lol they were saying Cabango will be a better captain in the build up to today now they don't seem to think Cabangos is captain material their forum is full of melts.

Were were really good today, defence looked strong and in control, midfield strong again, Simms and BTA a right handful! Super Franky Lampard

The beauty of this forum is that you don't need to have your own opinions

I agree, It’s always a lowish number of fans that make the negative noise about Managers, players and owners.

Difficult to drop either Simms or BTA on current form with Wright coming back

It works in FLs favour do t need to rush players back they can step up from the subs bench. Can ease them into match fitness and the chances are other players will start picking up knocks tiredness kick in or form drops off.

His only headache for now is Grimes

If you say so, but most I saw was reasoned doubt.

Most of the frustration I saw (and voiced) was aimed at the players. Who, in fairness, were probably utterly demoralised over having Collins behind them.

Like some said ‘Asante is Shit, Useless, I’ll drive him to WBA, can’t kick a ball, what a waste of money, the recruitment team have done a shit job.’

I mean, I called the players gutless on more than one occasion. Which wasn't unreasonable after a couple of the performances, to be fair.

Maybe it's recency bias but rudoni is just better than o hare for me.

Different players, apart from Ohares amazing spell at the start of 2024 his end product was often lacking but his dribbling amazing he got you out your seat.
Rudoni is just incredibly effective not as silky but really produces key passes. Both in the same squad would be amazing.

Rudoni certainly not a down grade though, different player yes but still a great player.

Excellent performance, only disappointment is only 2.0, should have been 3/4/5.

Roll on Wednesday, I really fancy us. Grimes to start - not sure who for yet.

Today is the day we will break this record. Swansea will come out strong with their anger of losing Grimes, then one goal to the good will have their heads dropping enough for us to finish them off.

I'm feeling positive about today.

There were others saying that DK had no ambition advocating that he should be putting his own money in and we should be buying at least 3 players because the ones we had weren't good enough.

I’d like to see Grimes play if possible, Leeds is a game that we need his quality. I’ll have no complaints if the team remains unchanged.

Both goals were good weren’t they? Simms sharp turn and determined play, Asante’s vision.

Swansea City 0-2 Coventry City: Ellis Simms scores as Frank Lampard's Sky Blues win fourth straight league game

Coventry were unable to parade new signing Matt Grimes at his forming stamping ground but they were still far too strong for Swansea as they made it four wins in a row with a 2-0 victory.

I suspect Jamie Allen will be rested ahead of the Ipswich game.

Let’s not get too disheartened or stroppy if a very good looking Leeds brush us aside on Wednesday, eh? Saying daft things about managers past or present…

I know people will.

To be fair I didn’t think that we had a good enough squad to make the play offs, and it is still early days. But we are now 3 points off, and I couldn’t be happier. Again, it’s early days for FL , but I don’t think that this squad of players would have achieved 4 in a row with MR, love what he did for us, and respect him as I do.
