No, because for whatever reason, he didn't quite complete it in the summer.

The thing that failed MR was his coaching staff. Plain and simple they werent good enough. Frank has better coaches and its paying off

Robins is a legend. Saying he didn't do well this year doesn't change that in any way whatsoever but it is the case. We need to stop arguments always starting at this particular point.

I think these new coaches we have now are having a huge influence .. they are basically elite level coaches and have been involved at the top level for a number of years

Get a grip. They were poorly coached, low on morale, fitness and confidence. Anyone can raise a team for a glory game, rather than away at swansea or Blackburn. We had a goalkeeper coach organising the defence ffs. Relax man. Lampard has changed us. Robins was out of his depth with this level of players.

Have we stumbled on it though ? The injuries obviously had an influence but FL and the coaching staff were responsible for switching things up and adopting different tactics. It didn't happen by accident

I doubt any of us would have left wright, Clarke and sheaf out the starting 11 if they were fit, lampards been brilliant, shown he can adapt tactics to what’s available, he’s gonna have a headache how to fit them back in

It’s only because there’s about 4 lettuces who pipe up every thread in tears when Robins is mentioned.

Saying he didn't do well this year doesn't tarnish his legacy. You gotta stop taking it so personally.

Correct. But then the coaching staff left, got sacked and were poorly replaced and started a downfall

It seemed like a very dubious statement from Doug King when he said it was a top six deck, not sure many people really believed it whether you agreed with Robins’ sacking or not.

That being said, we always needed an extra CM even at the start of the season and we still need backup at RWB. When you look at it on paper however it’s a good side. Is it top six? Hard to say, the team didn’t finish in the top six last season - is that what makes it a top six deck or is there something else?

Right now Frank has got the lads playing well, even though he’s been forced to an extent to adapt to this formation through injuries. There’s a lot of good sides around us, but if we get into the top six then Doug King’s statement will be entirely justified.

I supported him up to the Derby game. Time to go. It was clear by then that we’d never move forward without an effective management team.

What does that even mean in the context of this conversation?
Robins was brought into it by another poster, I just responded.
I'd be happy just to concentrate on discussing Lampard and the players.

Same goes for Lampard as well, including the winning mentality that he'll have that's being passed onto the team.

We had 1 point more than we did last season with 1 less game played .

Sure we've moved on now and I've travelled to Swansea today to watch the team get a fantastic win under a new regime and yet we've still got wet farts on here talking waffle about robins blame people like me all you want but I never mentioned him

I think the new coaching approach (including lampard ) is refreshing for the players and will take them to the next level

I don't take it personally. 3 days after he was sacked I said on reflection it was the right decision.

Yeah he did it in an obnoxious way but just ignore it.

Also seems to me your getting emotionally invested in a frank lampard team Evo. You promised you wouldn't!

And that's a joke btw not a dig!
