    Until Robins got us promoted from L2, he had not had promotion with any of his clubs I believe. perhaps he should have retired

    I rate Warnock. Continually gets teams promoted. Boro were going nowhere until he came in.

    On the other hand, he did once manage to scoop it over the bar while he had one hand almost on the goalpost. Not the best with his feet was our Tone. Mark was a definite upgrade in that respect. Best header of a ball has to be Mick Fergusson

    Bright and Robins

    For the avoidance of doubt: Never wanted him back - for all his obvious skill he was too disruptive to any structure Robins may impose. Did his own thing rather than fit with the team. Now the evidence is mounting that he is disruptive internally as well. Hope he never comes back

    Maquire-Drew definetely did one good thing. Plonk a corner on Tom Davies's head for Jordan Willis to get the knock back - Stoke in the Cup.

    All part of Fisher's master plan to keep us in League 1. He took his eye off the ball and we got promoted...

    21/22 Summer transfer mega-thread

    Unlikley, but what do I know. But if it were true, it would be good business - a 33% profit on 2+ years. League 1 is his optimum level, and it looks like he is 3rd choice with a manager who prefers one up front much of the time. There is no case for keeping your third choice striker if that...

    I seem to remember Kevin Kyle scoring a late winner at QPR one tuesday evening (under Coleman I think). Good goal.

    Now that he is back, I still see and hear nothing to change my mind that he will never be a regular city player. In our despration to include him, he is being put in line for a position in the team that I suspect he is mentally and physically not suited for. Both he and Bright are in different...

    Robins still working wonders at Coventry

    Yes money can buy success - but can lead to disaster - see Derby Sheff Wed and Hull That was not my point. Players are 'free' because they are no longer sold like cattle, which they were pre-Bosman, but can now be free agents, talented players, shopping for the best deal. The variables are...

    Robins still working wonders at Coventry

    'Free' implies surplus to requirements, as in the disparaging comment heard often 'reliant on frees and loans'. That is a complete misunderstanding of the transfer market outside the Prem and a few (and diminishing number of) Championship clubs, which is all most journalists know or care about...

    Squad Depth

    Coaches rate pace very highly, apparently, as a key point of difference. All footballers at this level are skillful (altho sometimes it is hard to believe). But additional pace really counts if you are a young player trying to come through. Or conversely the lack of it. But real speed costs real...

    Squad Depth

    I am totally with you on this. The first eleven looks good, but thereafter hmmm, not so sure. If you think about it the central spine of the team has had some serious investment in it - Hamer, Gyokeres and Sheaf all cost money. O'Hare is a highly valuable player and Moore appears to be a...

    that just highlights a weakness. one goal,in the last minute, is as narrow as it gets. we are playing better but context is always important #flattrackbully

    four quick ones 1. There is sharp contrast between what was being said before Allen's goal and that after the game. Alot of re-writing history going on 2. There was also a contrast between what was said on here and what Bianca Westwood reported. She thought we were really good before the...
