Or know something about the game. Not something your posts suggest you know too much about. You have to have a very limited academic capability not to be able to both love Robins and be able to see his limitations too.

I don’t think it’s that. MVE barely ran Beyond Tats, something he did a lot last season. I wonder if Frank has told him to stay back more to use his pace to help the CD’s who clearly lack that attribute. We see more cover runs now than we see overlaps:

We obviously had different expectations. we looked like going down for almost all of the first season.

Desperate stuff this …..

I totally agree that Robins was fabulous for Coventry but this debate is about Robins as a Championship manager. I think he will get a job at this level and he deserves one too. I’m less convinced he’s a top 6 championship manager but I accept others have a different view.

It could be argued that he’s only had one very succesful league season in the championship in his entire career.

Is this the same Mark Robins who some City fans thought was the second coming of Christ but now not sure he’d be a success at Stoke or West Brom ? 🤔

Many of which he was sub and a number Tats was out injured for. The Tats / MVE combo was not all about COH in my opinion.

CoH barely played last season …..

I agree MVE could go for more than £6m but his form this year has been very inconsistent so I reduced my expectations from the summer.

I guess anything over £6m and FL can get 2 new full backs

Totally agree @Gibbo I know I am pro King because I believe he has done what he said he would do, and many many owners of our past over many decades, talked a big game but were light on action. Football is about fine margins ….. Bassette scores his 1 v 1 to make it 2 nil against Pompey, Rudi...

That’s not what a very high profile former Blade player told me. He thought Hamer was first class but COH flattered to deceive.

Which I believe to be incorrect based on Kings own comments…. The next few weeks might prove that

King has not banned loans or experienced players. We tried to sign both in the summer. sorry if that spoils the narrative for some.

Spot on

We need new defenders they don’t have to be loans. We are out of the play off race and too good to go down. What are we building with loans this season ?

Why do we desperately need loans ?

We did under Robins. Swift was on more than £30k a week having joined West Brom on a bosman from Reading. Swift needed a pay off from West Brom to compensate him for a reduced package at Cov.

Swift can’t get in the West Brom side …… I think we can do better.
