    Leaving 2 players up on Corners etc

    It's a mad fashion in British football to leave no one up which every team seems to have copied. The Emporers New Clothes as far as I'm concerned If a few teams are brave enough to do what Robins is doing at top level expect fashions to change again

    Venus Gone.

    To give MV his due he found a lot of senior players who were willing to join us but almost all those deals fell through once the contract negotiations started and the players or their agents heard what was being offered Especially as a significant portion depended on appearances Apparently win...

    Match Thread Coventry v Bristol R Match Thread - Saturday 25th Mar

    Hopeless optimist/imbecile that I am I'm going to lump on us to win As Oscar Wilde said of second marriages A triumph of hope over experience

    The DM has some of the best sports coverage of all the daily papers - especially for football I never bother with the political content of any paper and prefer to make up my own mind

    Match Thread MK Dons v Coventry Match Thread - Saturday 18th Mar

    From reading Mark Robins comments yesterday I suspect we will see one or two changes He says we aren't spending enough time in the opponents final third so I expect players who are capable of keeping the ball and creating opportunities Tbh what he said about relaxing and remembering why players...

    Match Thread The worst performance of the season

    I suspect MR selected a team that he thought might stand up to the bruising route one style that Southend play Southend scoring in the first minute probably scuppered whatever our game plan was Hopefully Robins has a good idea of the level of the players who have played in his first two games...

    Match Thread Coventry v Southend Match Thread - Tuesday 14th Mar

    Suspect Robins is looking at whole squad over these first few games. Hopefully he will explain things after the game. Jones took a bit of heavy treatment Saturday but isn't injured

    Foley out for a while

    Folivi has apparently been here 3 or 4 times but got injured in training each time and had to go back for treatment Nor sure if he's back again yet

    Jodie Jones fixing his hair at Bradford free kick...

    Give the kid a chance We were 2 0 down when he came on and he ran his bollocks off trying to get us back in it Their left back was booting him up in the air but he kept coming back for more and trying to get things going Apart from Maycock he's the youngest player in the squad but is expected to...

    32,000 sold already

    I'm not a bit surprised we have sold our allocation. In fact I suspect we could sell another 20,000 quite easily A day at Wembley is one of the best days out in football and it's so long since we had one But if there is another owner seriously looking at taking over from SISU it certainly...

    KELLY Evans

    This kid will could play Championship or even Premier League eventually He has good pace too May well end up in midfield but is certainly already a modern style overlapping full back with a decent cross Does his contract really expire at the end of the season?

    Guess The Team

    I believe Robins was at Shrewsbury where the guys who played most of the game did pretty well Ironically Slade had been forced into that team by illness and injuries but for the first time in ages it looked well balanced I suspect we will start with a similar line up I'm having a small wager...

    Exciting but 'mentally weak' players

    No doubt the behind the scenes story of the season will come out at some point in the future Perhaps a bit like how Richard Shaw recently revealed how he and the rest of the management team at the time only realised Bigi had been sold to Newcastle when they checked to see why he hadn't turned...

    Exciting but 'mentally weak' players

    Ghadzev has hardly started since TM left to be fair There was a whisper that this might be due to the way his contract was structured

    Exciting but 'mentally weak' players

    Mental toughness usually comes with age and experience Young players like DKE and Dele Alli can be aggressive and brave but that's not the same as mental toughness

    Got the call on Sunday, said yes but want to do it right

    I think we must take this with a pinch of salt. It's fairly obvious now that Russell Slade was told after the game on Saturday that it was over for him. He went to the fans and didn't come home on the team bus. It was only announced on Sunday then speculation followed shortly after that MR was...

    Robins on Talksport very soon!

    Was I the only one listening who thought that perhaps something else is going on that may lead to the club changing hands sooner rather than later If this is the case whatever the manager thinks of the selling party it wouldn't make sense to insult them while negotiations are going on Time...
