Just saying, some on here have been quick enough to jump on Lampard for tactics when he’s done the best with what he’s got, could of quite easily just set up not to lose against mboro and today, he didn’t , shows some bollocks that does, got It spot on the last 2 gamesI'm not sure how anyone else sees that as some sort of positive
It is exaggerated though because it is compared with a run of unbelievable and unsustainable formwe got 15 points in 13 games. it was not exaggerated at all
well isolating just those games ignoring previous form it’s relegation form in those 13 gamesIt is exaggerated though because it is compared with a run of unbelievable and unsustainable form
The last two games are automatic promotion form, and more importantly the last 33 are.well isolating just those games ignoring previous form it’s relegation form in those 13 games
not really the point though is it.The last two games are automatic promotion form, and more importantly the last 33 are.
In all honesty we were terrible in a few games and not very good at all in a good few others. Something needed to change tactically and it looks as though it has.It is. But I never thought we were playing terrible that's all. Only a few games where I did.
Spot on , don’t think we realise the pressure we’ve been under for the last 4 months, it’s been relentless, with players who aren’t used to it, we were written off 2 weeks ago, we’d bottled it, weren’t up to it, look how it’s affected mboro,they were top for a week, wev‘e turned it around in 2 games, brilliantI've always been in the camp that we wernt playing that badly. Going ahead and then having lapses does indicate a better team than one that goes behind first and loses all time. I didn't bedwet and now things look better. It was what I expected.
People can say it's a terrible run etc but if you look at 2025 league form it's 3 wins 2 losses 1 draw? So for 6 weeks the form hasn't been too bad at all yet all we have heard is relegation form, will doug sack frank, is lampard good tactically, bottlers etc
It's not a gotcha or anything. I just feel like what I said made sense and it's proven to have gone the way I thought.
It wasn’t though was it,we were only struggling away by the odd goal, not like we were getting turned over every week, Lampard saw what we needed and we’ve fixed it,not really the point though is it.
You said people were exaggerating the poor form. they weren’t. statistically it was relegation form
it was just over 1 point a game. that is relegation form it literally cannot be arguedIt wasn’t though was it,we were only struggling away by the odd goal, not like we were getting turned over every week, Lampard saw what we needed and we’ve fixed it,
We've had our slump and got over it, maybe Boro and Ipswich are just starting theirs??I've always been in the camp that we wernt playing that badly.

No, the opposite Tom, as admitted,by you.Feeling called out?

Relegation form would be losing at home as well, you don’t get relegated having the best home form in the league, think,that’s what people were forgetting, and if you watch the QPR and Norwich games again we weren’t even that bad, just silly mistakes, look what happens when you cut them out, we Were never playing like a team in relegation formit was just over 1 point a game. that is relegation form it literally cannot be argued
you get relegated on 1 point a game average which i what we had for those 13 gamesRelegation form would be losing at home as well, you don’t get relegated having the best home form in the league, think,that’s what people were forgetting, and if you watch the QPR and Norwich games again we weren’t even that bad, just silly mistakes, look what happens when you cut them out, we Were never playing like a team in relegation form
Middle of February.The longest run we've had without a win is three games, this "fall off" is an exaggeration and ignores the great form shown by Middlesbrough particularly and Ipswich in that period.
Our record breaking form was never realistically going to continue indefinitely, a lot of people on here were saying in early December they'd be pleased to still be top by the turn of the year. We were, and we were still top by the end of January.
He’s got a lovely tenor voice to be fairLooking now though dont anybodyfeel the slump in performances was potentially avoidable? Just even the past 2 games I feel the players have been told to hold back abit and it seemed to of worked wonders! Also the singing of odyeka has been key
The point LG was trying to make that Lampard isn't good tactically based on cherry picking of an at worse indifferent period of form which he exaggerated to be worse than it really was. Further to that, in doing so also ignoring that Lampard got the team into record breaking form in the first place.not really the point though is it.
You said people were exaggerating the poor form. they weren’t. statistically it was relegation form
You're so much more likable when you're not being a trollyou get relegated on 1 point a game average which i what we had for those 13 games
This is pretty much where I was/am at. We were still creating chances and good stuff was happening, even in games we weren't playing particularly well.Relegation form would be losing at home as well, you don’t get relegated having the best home form in the league, think,that’s what people were forgetting, and if you watch the QPR and Norwich games again we weren’t even that bad, just silly mistakes, look what happens when you cut them out, we Were never playing like a team in relegation form
What is trolling about stating the factsYou're so much more likable when you're not being a troll
My position is that Lampard has done incredibly well overall but we went through such a terrible spell I’m remaining cautious.The point LG was trying to make that Lampard isn't good tactically based on cherry picking of an at worse indifferent period of form which he exaggerated to be worse than it really was. Further to that, in doing so also ignoring that Lampard got the team into record breaking form in the first place.
About what? Just replying to a postIf he can learn, then so can you (maybe).
It's also the general antipathy English football fans have towards any decorated player becoming a manager.I saw posts saying lampard doing what expected with cov 1st and sack him if he fails
Whilst saying robins doing a good job at stoke
This all comes down to being the manager to take on directly from robins and if people were honest they would admit it.
But he did tweak them in that Oxford game when Onyeka wasn't playing. The change would have happened regardless, Onyeka will just help to execute it better.Anyone else think it wasn't necessary to wait for the recruitment of Onyeka before tweaking the tactics? IMO Eccles would be capable of proving similar support for Grimes, and if Onyeka becomes unavailable that's exactly what I'd do. Quite strange to me that Lampard only ever seems to want to play Josh further forward.
Perhaps you can restart your Simms and Assante are shite thread? Just a thought.Feeling called out?
Luckily I don't need to argue with you any more as most people seem to have noticed you are a clown since you started posting more. I thought you were one of those drips who hated any player who's been shite for ages being called out when you nearly pissed your pants over Simms getting stick. Turns out you are just related to Simms as you seem to have no issue with our top scorer being called a "waste of oxygen" and you seem to love joining in pile ons about a manager who has frankly been phenomenal for us.Perhaps you can restart your Simms and Assante are shite thread? Just a thought.
Bang on tbfI saw posts saying lampard doing what expected with cov 1st and sack him if he fails

Simms has improved a lot since last season where he was fucking hopeless tbf. He has good attributes and goes on streaky runs but when he's off it, he's borderline comical. Wright is obviously the better player.Unless wright is injured we won’t be seeing much of Simms again here - I suspect also he will be gone in the summer
