    Robins' tactics Vs Norwich

    OMG... I remember when football used to be simple...now its becoming more like somethings the americans play, with that funny shaped thing, while all their coaches on the line feed them instructions on what to do next and where to throw it. :rolleyes: 🏈

    While i feel in the mood for moaning, what is it about throw ins nowadays? We were as bad. If refs arnt going to insist they are done correctly why dont they just say you can throw the ball back in play any way you want. Under arm, one handed...you could get a lot of distance and would give the...

    Video Ben Gibson own goal hands Coventry City late equaliser against Norwich! 🤯

    Brilliant that our goal came from one of their time wasting knobs. The only thing better would have been if their keeper had made some drastic cock up, or thrown it in his own net. I havnt despised a sides style of play more since I can remember, petty little fouls to break down any of our...

    Thought Norwich a couple of times were really load but that arse of a referee certainly got block 21 going.

    Is Sakamoto a wingback yet?

    When he put the ball between the two defenders and went to step through and they just blocked him off, obstruction all day long, unless you were this useless twat of a referee.

    The last time i watched anything as boring in yellow as that was when my wife and I painted the nursey and we were waiting for it to dry before putting the cartoon characters on it.

    There should be a maximum time for teams to celebrate. im sure they must have all been up in that corner for a good five minutes while we were waiting to kick off. When two minutes added time came up in the first half i didnt know whether to laugh or cry. We were def playing against twelve today.

    Video 23/24 Third Kit unveiled!

    I love the green and black and i guess because it was our changed strip back in the mid 60's, Ive always associated with it. I wish we'd keep a set change colour rather than swaping it around each year. I hate seeing us in red, it just doesnt seem like Cov.

    At the risk of sounding derogatory to the players, the diamond thing is just too complicated unless you are in a side that knows the way each other plays. We have had a lot of changes and surely bedding them in with a simple 442 would sort out everything. Play Sakamoto as the wide midfielder...

    Managerless now apparently. :oops: My God if we cant win this one then we really are in trouble.

    SIGNED!!!! - Tatsuhiro Sakamoto

    He just doesn't fit into the diamond shape or whatever its called. Fortunately Im too old to have played in it, but i watched my son a few times and by half time he was knackered being expected to track back to play as a full back and also get up the field in an advanced position as a winger...

    How are you feeling?

    Been absolutely depressed all day, so much so I had to go and sleep it off in the afternoon. It wasn't necessarily the result but the manner of the defeat and the attitude. The lack of movement was school boy stuff. Wrights lack of energy... we are used to Vik harassing and closing down...

    The season ahead......

    After 4 draws the next game was always going to be the one that shaped our season. Had we pushed on after equalizing and beat a very average Cardiff side, we'd all be aiming for the playoffs again. As it is we are looking at bottom half. But things change quickly and I don't think there is a...

    Wasnt Hamer the dressing room joker? Perhaps if we give Sheffield back a bit of cash they'd set up a link to their dressing room to get some camaraderie back. .

    Video Matty Godden and Mark Robins reflect on defeat against Cardiff City 🎙️

    What worries me is our lack of movement. We also looked scared to give the ball away so we never chanced a quick counter by running and taking them on, but always chose to go backwards and keep possession. Good sides know when to mix it up. We play at one pace the whole time.

    We are so slow on the counter, even when Cardiff were out of position we still somehow managed to go backwards. Not impressed with Wright at all, looks like he'd struggle in div 2 no where near championship standard.
