Just as happened to Robins and Viveash several times over the past 7 years.All credit to Lampard but think we’ve got a bit lucky, wev‘e stumbled onto a team that works, players that have come in have stepped up, just hope trying to bring in grimes, Clarke , wright and sheaf doesn‘t upset things too much, not a bad problem to have though
Who said it was too soon?Fucking hell not this shit again
Promotion too soon is the dumbest shit I've heard

Agree with the first paragraph. Re the second, of course preferable to go up then not, but would love us to aim at a Brentford/Brighton rather then a Southampton/Norwich.Wasn't expecting it anyway but if we're in the mix going into the final 7 or 8 games and then fall short that would still be a great season.
As for is the team ready for the EPL?
Don't really care, if used right the money could be a gamechanger for the club
Well of course that’s the case, but presuming you want to follow the yo-yo method, you don’t want to be spending too much money to invest in the squad that gets us back in financial trouble. I would just like more players in the squad that I would consider definite PL, but would still rather go up then not.Mad idea here, but hear me out. A team that gets promoted from the championship to the premier league could use some of the money to buy players, which would improve the squad and potentially increase the chances of having a half decent season. Just a thought.
It seems that losing Viveash and Lawrence and the way they were replaced clearly took us backwards. Lampard and his two assistants have clearly upgraded the skill set of the coaching staff. Or at least it’s very easy to make that assumption .Coaching
Tactics
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
Let’s be honest we could finish 1st on 120 points and still come down next year with 15Fucking hell not this shit again

I can't sit here an pretend I didn't have doubts about frank .. but I was wrongThey are but from memory there were quite a few on here that didn’t think lampard and his team were good enough for us Evo. It was bizarre. Just because of a poor spell as interim of a shitshow of club (Chelsea). as you say they’ve coached/managed at far higher level than us. Very early days but positive signs
Oh we've definitely got a chance
What even with that shit striker in the team you were slagging off last week.I'm buzzing , there is genuinely a feeling from me that something special could happen again this season

And that’s why it’s never to early to go up. To be honest would hope the vast amount would go towards securing the arenaAnd tens of millions extra in the coffers
Shows how good results have been under LampardWe 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 robinsblame people like me all you want but I never mentioned him
Yes we've done very wellShows how good results have been under Lampard
Take it our recruitment team are back in the good books now
Plenty? not sure about thatPlenty on here said the players were good enough
Big smile on my face mate , travelled 300 mile round and saw us dominate at Swansea.
The answer to the last bit is of course it wouldn't. The chasm between the PL and Championship is huge . We would have to spend massively But that's not the point . It's the here and now and from what I'm seeing things are improving rapidly , we are organised and the players are fully invested in what they're doing. Not only that it's looking like quite a deep squad when everyone is fit.I’m still not convinced we are personally. Midfield still needs improvement as does the defence. Also regardless of top 6, we really want to be asking ourselves if this team could even be competitive in the PL. I wouldn’t want to watch that at this stage.
Well considering you started a 'Relegation Battle' thread merely 3 weeks ago, I would assume you think its way too soon?!Who said it was too soon?
Even when clubs spend we have idiots saying that's the wrong way to go about survivalMad idea here, but hear me out. A team that gets promoted from the championship to the premier league could use some of the money to buy players, which would improve the squad and potentially increase the chances of having a half decent season.

I remember 9 percent win ratio being banded about constantly by giddy postersThey are but from memory there were quite a few on here that didn’t think lampard and his team were good enough for us Evo.

You have been down on him but didn't u actually start the thread praising him in the first place iirc?Oh ellis hasn't given us anywhere near enough this season and he was decent today .. can't remember calling him shit unless you can remind me sorry
I don't recall him ever saying that he was shit. What he did say was that he thought he could put more effort in and on the form shown this season had to improve.What even with that shit striker in the team you were slagging off last week.
