    Match Thread Coventry City vs. Accrington Stanley Match Thread - Saturday 3rd Nov

    Which means Robins has generated two completely new teams in less than 2 years - one to get promoted which had 3 regulars from the relegated side - Burge Willis Haynes and now this one. Not bad for a club that is broke

    I think the ratings system might favour central defenders - Davies Willis and Hyam are all in the top 4 cumulatively. They are very visible on the pitch. But on the other hand you could argue by common consent it is the part of the pitch where we are very strong and Rod McDonald was rightly...

    Now vs Then

    This year's side does look more creative - Brown Thomas and Hiwula beat Stokes Kelly and Shipley. Grimmer was better than Sterling version 1, but definitely poorer than the new improved Sterling. Couldn't see Jack running the length of the pitch, checking TWICE as to what the other players were...

    Davies to get the better of Kee, even so 1-0 to Stanley. We have reached the point where the players will be starting to tense up about the winning run

    They have played together in 6 of the last 7 games - Davies has a better score than Willis in 5 out of the 6 games

    Player Ratings

    Whatever you think of them, this was the collective opinion of the player raters - and quite a good response this week MotM Thomas, no surprise and bit of a change as he had joint lowest appreciation against Bradford Dud of the Match Brown - notwithstanding his goal line clearance and again no...

    How many goals will our strikers finish with?

    When watching Goal Cam you can see just how good a strike it was

    No wonder we feel so happy at the moment...

    A quirk of the fixture list means that by Christmas we will have played all of the other seven in the current top eight at home, but none of them away. We will have played Walsall and Fleetwood, currently 9th and 10th away. Now after Christmas we may win away at the likes of Scunthorpe and...

    Brandon Mason

    I think today was his ninth game in the League and has been a winner seven times. He also played at Oxford in the Caribou Cup. I agree with the comment above that his positional sense is a bit wonky, about as bad as that of Haynes

    Both goals come from poor clearances to set pieces.

    Mark Robins Manager Statistics

    Player boredom was only one factor - can't remember the others.But the time frame does fit with other high pressure jobs. New person comes in -> does the things they see need doing -> runs out of ideas (gets too fixed on their original analysis of the problem)

    Championship rather than Champions league Noticed the All Coventry Stats. Jimmy Hill only had a 44% win rate

    Mark Robins Manager Statistics

    According to some research I read (but cannot remember where) typically managers are effective for up to 3 years and thereafter players lose incentive. Some notable exceptions to that. But even so if you look at someone like Mourinho or Hodgson it makes sense. So we have had 15 months so we are...

    Bradford rating

    I think he ran 3/4 of the pitch - he starts off back near the penalty area then loops round. He deserved his luck. Even so a jink to the right and he'd have had a open goal.

    Match Thread Coventry City vs. Doncaster Rovers Match Thread - Saturday 27th Oct

    Five wins on then trot seems inconceivable, even though every game individually has been winnable. Predictions of 3 points from this and Accrington Stanley means a predicted loss but there should be no excuse for ,losing at home, we should at least get a draw. I hope for four points, winning...

    Bradford rating

    As has been pointed out these are high marks - numerically our second best permanence after Barnsley at home. When you tot up the scores above nobody gets a bad mark, but the "dud of the week" for the record is shared between Doyle & Thomas, but they both had good ratings. MotM: JCH with an...
