Point I’ve been making on different match threads and been accused of being anti Lampard, is; what is the difference?

Lack of subs, lack of adapting to games, same impassioned poor performances, lack of togetherness, at times lack of game plan - or at least it appears that way.

I want Lampard to do well, but appointing a new manager surely means we don’t see the same things we did with the one deemed not good enough?

Not his players and he’s likely inherited a poor atmosphere, but it’s his role to change the latter and get the most from the former.

Not anti Lampard, I don’t want him to fail but we’re not seeing the Elite Tactician DK was clear he wanted.

He clearly needs time, but games like today and Portsmouth are concerning.

He sits there looking and thinks I’ll make a change and sees Allen,Tavares and others and must think I may as well stay with what I have.

Actually so painfully sad what’s happened since Robins sacking to this forum and outer fanbase.

Problems exist and some will exist until we can get rid (soonest being now or the summer realistically).

Heard and said in the past that I had heard two bad apples in the group, won’t post but lines up with league one champs post on the Cardiff thread. Sure Gimoc knows more but heard nothing on Jack

We all want what’s best for CCFC but lately just seen consistent arguments on here even some as silly as on the old firm on the Cardiff vs Coventry thread.

Lampard rightly as Robins did take the negative with the positives. But I just wish it wasn’t a consistent told ya so. Don’t get me wrong I didn’t want Lamps (think everyone knows who I wanted ) but he’s the boss and we have to give him time. Only other option is too sack him which would be madness.

I’m not one who gets weird about stuff being shared on a football forum frequented by a small percentage of our fan base, about the football club we all support.

Who are the bad eggs?

And I’d like to hear more on Rudoni being one, as that massively surprises me.

Of course the logical conclusion to the argument is we've brought in coaches that aren't as good as Lawrence and Viveash or if they are we shouldn't be too far away from seeing a return to the form of last winter.

I think the reality is probably a bit more nuanced than that but if we're trying to simplify to it was good because of A, or it wasn't good because of B then that's where it takes you.

Either that or none of us realised that Callum O'Hare was the 2nd coming of Zinedine Zidane!

Being critical of Lampard = being anti Lampard? Fair enough.

I’ve been critical of MVE, Thomas, Bassette, Bidwell, Wright, BTA, EMC and others at points in games this season. Suppose I’m anti them too.

Might as well give us the ST I’ve had for 30 years and can the away games I’ve got planned for the rest of the season.

The man who worked his way up the leagues and was relegated playing for a poor team last year, has an ego big enough to make him a bad egg?

Genuinely surprised / not convinced by that.

That doesn’t make sense

if he was mascot, he would have met every player. I know as my daughter did it last season

had photo with every player

Ohare was one of the best with her that day

what game out of interest?

Curiously tho bud, do you know any of the lads personally if so maybe you see a different side than someone with no connection might in regards to O’Hare?

What difference did you expect? At this stage of the season you can only play the hand your dealt.

MR is a top manager at this level, and clearly he was struggling with this "deck"

Lampard isn't going to get any more from this bunch of players until he gets a "window" to put his mark on the team.

He has however stopped us from conceding 2 goals every game, so credit for that at least.

If he can add 2 quality players with drive and creativity, we will be a totally different proposition, but the reality is we are looking at next season now.

not personally apart from 1 but he doesn't say anything about players or staff

I know someone at the club whose been quiet but seen them over Christmas and told me bits

another thing. King daughter has took a role at the club as a consultant without knowing anything about how football works

this hasn’t gone down well behind the scenes

think he messed up by bringing rudoni in on that front

On the pitch he’s showing glimpses but not enough yet
