Lampards win ratio is 38%.

Similar to Robins’ time here which included two promotions

Robins of course managed eight years only playing the bottom five.

Robins’ win rate this season was 28%

38% is an improvement on 28%

Im not going to explain how teams at the top of the league and teams at the bottom of the league are different.

41% is better than 38%, being back Dowie.

With wright and Clark missing we haven’t got an option to play any different, rudoni isn’t a left winger and sakamotos been worked out, they just double up on him, cut off our wide men and we’ve got nothing

tavares is an option

to say we have nothing is very short sighted

if he doesn’t fancy Tavares then change formation

this is where Lampard is no different to robins in terms of plan b

We sacked Dowie, brought in Coleman, and nearly got relegated.

I’m not sure that this is the best argument in your quest to get Lampard sacked

I don’t think anyone has said sack Lampard but there has been no improvement under him based on the busy Christmas schedule

5 points from 12 against the opposition we’ve faced is not good enough

Hard to be too critical of Lampard in my opinion. The squad is shit for all the reasons Gimoc outlines. They got the best manager of my lifetime sacked and I suspect Lampard will go the same way unless he is given the chance to make significant changes in Jan.

To properly undo this mess will take 3-4 transfer windows I suspect.

Look everybody has to remember that Robins teams always start slowly and pick up it didn’t look to me like it was going to happen this season but some seem to be clinging to that.

I don’t think that’s entirely true.

we clearly now have a style of play and retain the ball better, but our lack of end product is killing us.

Torp or Rudi take their chances second half and we win and no one over reacts.

Busy Christmas period is the clue, very limited time on the training ground to improve people, just time to recover and go again.

But as I've already said, only 3 defeats in 11 since MR left. And 2 of those against top 6 sides. While we've lost our top scorer and an experienced keeper.

Frank needs time and the window.
In reality we're preparing for next season.

you call that style of play? It’s awful to watch

that 1st half was woeful

2nd half we got early goal then couldn’t break them down.

Cardiff had decent chances too

I think it’s clear now most of the players just aren’t good enough. It’s not on Robins or Lampard.

one word that has always annoyed me is intensity. it's so overused in football punditry. but it is exactly the thing that we lack.
we take forever to get from the edge of our box to the edge of the oppositions box. and it doesn't seem to matter who we are playing against. i see it week after week, gaping holes up the channels, forwards moving and indicating where they want the ball, but no, it goes left and right and left and right as we creep up the pitch at 1 mile an hour.
we can't even seem to put teams under pressure when they are a man down. it's fucking diabolical to watch.

Not brilliant, but those teams are fighting for their lives, and we have limited quality available.

We have stopped shipping 2 goals a game, which is a good start, but the rest of the problems will take time and new faces.

This "deck" is NOT top 6 quality, we need to accept that when judging what MR and FL were/are capable of.

The big problem is we're trying to play a brand of football we don't have the players who are capable in playing. And my issue with Lampard, the same with Robins this season is persisting with trying to implement something the players are incapable in doing.

And there is no plan B, and most of the time his subs are pre planned.

If you think Tavares an option then we’re def in trouble,hes inherited a team that was set up to play 433 or 451 ( same thing really) we haven’t got the quality to play it, until he gets his own players in you can’t really dig out Lampard, we’re just not good enough, simple as

That sacking a manager who is working for a name leads to us almost getting relegated and spunking tens of millions to get nowhere.

Deluded as usual, wanting him out doesn’t mean wanting sisu back. Just want an owner that knows what he’s doing unlike what we currently have
