Yeah, it's not a fix-all. But would help somewhat with health if doctors surgeries were built (assuming we have enough to staff them). Same with schools - would help but still need the teachers and they're leaving in droves.

You di imagine that a lot of his coming up through the youth ranks was because he was more physically developed early on and he didn't even really need to use it to get the better of other players.

We did basically just set up defensively to stop him having to do too much and hope our two superstars were good enough to win a game by themselves. But I will accept that you could possibly suggest Wilson became a slightly better player.

Never understood why Torp has been played in the deeper role with Rudoni more advanced. It seems pretty obvious to me if they're on the pitch together it should be the other way around.

Because at least you notice them, for good or bad. Rudoni you can forget is even on the pitch.

To be fair I'd rather see him taking that on than half-heartedly jogging across the front line pretending to press defenders.

You have to assume that we put a hold on Browne because it would have been either him or Stamenic, and hence Browne didn't feel valued and decided to go elsewhere. In reality we could have done with both and with the money we've spent subsequently I think we could have afforded both. I'd have...

People like Doug King tend to be confident and believe they are right even with things they have little knowledge on (so he'd fit right in on here!). He's made a fair bit of money and that makes people think they're incredibly smart and know how to run everything. I'm sure many of us have been...

As others have said, I don't think sacking MR would actually make much of a difference. Of course he deserves criticism - every year he doesn't seem to be able to find the right formation from the off, he rarely changes it during a game if it isn't going well, he doesn't make proactive subs to...

You do have to wonder about him as none of the keepers under his tutelage have been good, and many ended up worse, albeit sometimes for other reasons. But I think there are questions about the other coaches too. For example the ones promoted from the development side. I understand they might...

If we had a GK organising the defence and saving everything it'd look a perfectly reasonable investment. Trouble is at the moment they're not.

Thing is you talk about taking him out because confidence is gone then mention getting Collins in, who was arguably worse when his confidence went and I doubt it's improved.

Because usually the developments are agreed with the developer having to build these services as well as part of the agreement, or having a s106 agreement. There's a few in Coventry where locals have been told they'll get schools, doctors, community centres etc. that have never materialised. I...

Maybe. We'll have to see.

It is and we have to wonder why? Especially as we supposedly now have the personnel in the backroom staff who are supposed to deal with the psychological aspects. The obvious thing is that AV, who is likely to be critical and work them hard, has gone. It does make me wonder if this new setup...

Yep. Even in their poor form I think they'll bully these players.

Not sure a strike force of Simms and Wright will be conducive to keeping the ball in their half or closing down. Though they did just create that chance.

Well we're winning but we're letting QPR control the game since. Fact that we're struggling against a team as poor as QPR and are even time wasting in the first half shows how bad we are at the moment. We score with a quick break and afterwards proceed to try and pass it around and, as per...

FUCKING GET IN!!!!! Just the start we needed.

I have only one thing to say to this. Every year our upturn in form coincides with your thread about Robins having to go and, although there is a noticeable lacking of taxis this year, hopefully this thread will suffice for this years turnaround. I'm feeling more confident about tomorrow...
