    Ah so you mean we're finally on an upwards trajectory this season. That happened once the team started to gel after about 12 games. That was when we were near the bottom. It isn't when like just now as you say when we're already in the top 6 and putting a gap between us and those below us...

    On an upwards trajectory now? We've been on an upwards trajectory since he became manager. It's only those who don't know their arse from their elbow that think differently.

    He's fuck all like me. He knows what he is talking about.

    Games coming thick and fast from now. It's all about keeping a bit of squad rotation whilst trying to keep a strong team out on the pitch. Maybe Wright and Palmer to get half a game each. They can both play a similar role. Win this and not lose against Norwich and we will have a bit of...

    I've got a few old boxes. What type is yours?

    Would still be OK. We'd still be in the top 6 most probably with another one of our more difficult games out of the way.

    From what I have seen of him he likes to get forward. Looks like he will be our corner taker. Like I said not like for like but he offers something different. It's anyone's guess what Robins has planned for him. He still has a fair bit to learn to be a Championship player. But he is still an...

    Could well be. We will never know for sure. Could even be an O'Hare replacement for next season and has brought him in now to get him up to speed before next season. And before anyone says it not same for same. Just like we were never going to find it easy to replace Gyokeres or Hamer like...

    You should try wrapping it up in a bit of paper and hiding it in a fag packet. Look at the toilets. Lots do it every game 🤪

    Why? A must win game is something like a playoff game or one that gets you into the playoffs or even keeps you from relegation at the end of the season. Lose tonight we're still in 6th. Only Hull would have a realistic chance of going above us with their game in hand and they would have to...

    Cup draw

    Used to see more Manchester United and Liverpool tops than Coventry tops in Coventry

    FA Cup draw

    I would have been happy with a side below the Championship or a top Prem side. With the 3 that were remaining I expected Luton. That would have been a poor draw. Maidstone had the chance of 2 Prem sides or us. We were most probably their worst draw out of the 3 remaining sides.

    He's a stoned fan from Herne Bay 🤪

    Cup draw

    I do get what you're saying. But I just see it differently. We've watched the game a few times together over the years. He knows we won the FA Cup when I was just 6 years older than he is now. But hopefully he will never get to learn what it's like to lose most weeks year after year. I...

    Very simple to me. Being interested in players and being able to bring them in are two totally different things. It isn't as though we're a destination to aim for. We didn't bring in make weights. We brought in players to improve us. I'm not having a go at Robins for not bringing in average...

    It seems to be the same ones every season. I used to think the vast majority did it as a wind-up. But who in their right mind would constantly make themselves look so clueless.

    O’Hare to L*cester

    Exactly what happens to all football players these days. Gone are the days of staying at a club for most of your career. Even the vast majority of managers move frequently. I still haven't changed my mind. We go up he stays unless a big club comes in for him. We don't go up he leaves. It isn't...

    It makes me laugh with some of the rubbish some people come out with. If you can't prove it wrong it must be right.

    FA Cup draw

    It's going to be interesting in a way. Miss one promotion back up and the trouble starts. High wage bill and the parachute payments get lower. Doesn't take much to become an also ran in the Championship. Take next season for an example. Southampton, Leeds and us. All good sides in the...

    Cup draw

    Think you need to put a bit of perspective to it. Yes we had over 30 years in top flight. But nearly every season was a relegation battle. Hardly anything to cheer other than the rare win against one of the top sides. We had a couple of seasons towards the late 80's where we finally looked...
