2022/23 Frank Lampard

[mikel_88]

If he gets sacked soon it’ll be the board covering their own failings in not signing a striker.

His inability to make a sub tonight was infuriating, though.

Think it says more about the players on the bench. They have to be going is the only reason i can see why

 

[dholliday]

I see a better organised team than last year. Add a good goalscorer and we can be much better

adding a good goalscorer is one of the most difficult challenges for any non Big Club.

How many - better than 1-in-3 average ratio - have we had in the last 30 years? Just two: Cottee and Rom.

That's it.


It's actually very rare for us to have a good regular goalscorer. The team we have now need to be scoring goals between them, we can't rely on a mythic striker we haven't even signed yet.

I dont mean an elite striker. I mean another forward capable of getting close to 10 goals

 

[Blueclouds]

Our next 2 games, I'm scared

 

[banno]

We would have lost all these games in the latter part of last season...........at least we have stopped the rot of defeats with mitigating circumstances of having no striker of note. Everything should have been done earlier but we can see the progress apart from attack being clinical. I am positive

 

[allen]

Our next 2 games, I'm scared

4 points from those.

 

[Kev The Rat]

Our next 2 games, I'm scared

4 of the next 6 are almost write offs, unfortunately.

To be honest look at brentford. Very highly rated goal scorer in Toney. Couldn’t beat us at the weekend and palace tonight. Can’t put to much in a striker changing fortune

We should start calling Frank 'the Grinder' given his propensity for grinding out points.

1-in-3 isn't elite...it's merely good.


A striker only bagging 10 a season is pretty naff and won't add up to many extra points. Our team needs to be scoring goals between them.


Frank, as a goalscoring midfielder, knows this but probably doesn't know what to do about it.

Not a good sign.

 

[Nymzee]

Next 6 games are gross.

A forward scoring 10 goals would be huge for us. We had lots of players on 1 and 2 goals last year. 10 goals means more wins and more points

What if he scores in ten 1-0 victories?

 

[Toffe3m4n]

He should be miles away from the sack IMO.

I know it's a 'results business' but I can see a clear improvement in the side from the end of last season. Let him crack on.

it's not 2005, mate.
