Both goals were good weren’t they? Simms sharp term 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.

Haven’t seen any of ‘Robins v Lampard shite’. Just some discussion on how and why we’ve improved. And I’m really enjoying my Saturday night!!!

A great interview by Bidwell , stating that all the ‘ bonding days out ‘, is nothing to what winning football games are .
The bonding on the pitch is there for everyone to see & long may it continue.
Excellent, all over the pitch today Skyblues

Not getting too excited about the table but very proud to sport my colours tonight in sunny Spain. 4 wins on the spin and a pretty convincing performance by some players who 6 weeks ago were playing second fiddle. The set up is working so I’m sure Frank isn’t gonna change this for whoever might be getting fit again soon

A few things that stood out to me:

That's the most composed, confident and unflappable I've ever seen Kitching and Thomas. Both utter rocks who never broke a sweat. There was that great moment where Thomas realised he had the ball in space and charged forward, Swansea clearly weren't expecting it and looked panicked. Konjic-esque!

There were so many backheels and basically all of them came off! A sign of great confidence across the board.

Jamie Allen is digging into his tenacity. He's far from the most technically gifted player but dear god he's just everywhere at once, constantly in the opposition's faces and so quick to get where he needs to get. He must be a nightmare to play against!

Shout out to Torp again. He’s really growing into a very good midfielder. He is impacting every game and showing a great deal of tenacity.

Have to hold my hands up and say I had really negative feelings about Frank Lampard coming in as manager / coach whatever, but seeing the last results, he has gained a new (even if a very old and ancient!) new fan! He has breathed new life into the squad. They seem to want to actually listen to him and play the way he wants.
I loved MR, and truly wish him all the best for the future, but now I'm convinced that we had to move on.
I'm pushing 72 and remember the crazy, heydays of seeing 34 years of City in the top flight, and remember enjoying the promotion to the old Division One back in 1967, having first watched them at Highfield Rd in 1963. I was at the game when approx. 52,000 went to the Wolves game. We had gone 25 games unbeaten if I remember correctly.
I spent about 3 years as a stward at Highfield Rd, just because I wanted to be a part of the club I love.
I just hope I live long enough to see us back in the top flight soon.

The worst thing said was someone going on about not wanting to improve the team at all in January. Madness.

Not wanting to or not doing so because the right players weren't available?

Swansea fans spent all week saying they won’t miss Grimes because of Franco who is so much better, only for him to make the mistake that led to BTA’s goal. Beautiful.

OK, yes, you're very old
(It was 51455 in the ground - recorded, at least - and I was there too, behind the goal in the Covered End, never mind the not yet invented West End. And yes, it was 25 matches unbeaten, broken on the first day in the First Division. Heady days indeed).

Still pinching myself that we beat Swansea and are 3 points off the play offs Another gritty away performance and so pleased for Simms and BTA, both have taken a lot of stick this season but kept at it and doing a great job.

I’m a Robins loyalist but well done to Lampard and his team. Brilliant to see. PUSB

What does that even mean? Do you really need to prefix a compliment saying well done to the current manager with it?

Best way to describe yesterday was comfortable. For the 2nd week in a row we’ve looked in control and at no point ever looked in danger of loosing that. No one was below a 7/10 (Bobby was threatening to with a couple of suspect passes in the first half). Feels like a real synergy is building between the team, manager & fans again - credit FL

It's madness, it's the flipside of those who have to include a swipe at Robins in posts praising Lampard.

We're in a new era , just concentrate onthe here and now.
