Robins returned to the Club in 2017. McCallum joined in 2018. As Robins was the manager, why would he have nothing to do with the signing? The fact is that under Robins' management, a free signing became a player worth several million pounds.

Robins brought in McNulty, sold for a huge profit. He bought Chaplin. Sold for a huge profit. He introduced Bayliss into the team, apparently against the advice of his staff. Two years of playing for Robins and he is sold for £2 or £3 million. Most reasonable posters would recognise Robins...

I suppose it is phrases such as ‘he has proven to be tactically inept and by not making changes has cost us points in the past undoubtedly’ that I find hard to take. It is the definite nature of the statement. It’s not your opinion, you, like others state things like this as a fact. As I stated...

You are factually wrong. We took the third play off spot in League Two. Lincoln took the final place.

The dictionary definition for inept is 'incompetent and bungling'. You say you don't think he is inept all of the time. Presumably you think he is inept then a considerable amount of the time. I would really struggle to think of too many times over the past 4 years that Robins has made...

You constantly bang on about playing two up front, a call you make based upon your vast technical know how no doubt. You berate Bakayoko at every available opportunity, you think him totally useless. You find out that Biamou is playing with an injury. Do you acknowledge that perhaps Robins...

You think that MR can be inept at times? Hard to know what some people expect from the manager. It would seem that it would have to be someone who makes the correct decision every time. As Robins is human then I think you have to accept that mistakes will be made, but to use the word ‘inept’ I...

Both players great for City, but very different in the way they played. Cyrille had pace and power. He was very mobile and happy with the ball at his feet driving at defences. He also had a cannonball shot. A more explosive player than Dion.

Keogh was one of the best and most effective players of our previous championship spell. He always gave 100% but his game wasn't just about effort, he was a very mobile and skilful defender who read the game well and rarely had a bad game. He got a good reception from City fans in the friendly...

I watched the second half of the Bournemouth Millwall game. Poor game and really poor performance from Bournemouth. They looked nothing like the team that beat us. Millwall the better team (but still nothing to write home about) and they deserved their point.

I hope we are back there ASAP for all of the obvious reasons.

Got a boot to the head before he conceded. Subbed due to injury I think.

Hopefully the Premier League's obsession with foreign managers will mean that MR will be overlooked for the jobs in the league above. Both Robin's reaction and that of Boddy to Sunderland attempt to poach him bodes well for any future approach from clubs in this division or even the one above...

Dean Nelson had the tail end of Hutch’s goal at Arsenal on one of his video shows a couple of years ago. London Weekend, at that stage at least, hadn’t released the full clip of his goal.

You said; It's bizarre that people continue to push this myth. It's entirely false. For all of his virtues Robins lacks the ability to able to manage the more 'difficult' players long term. I would have assumed a lack of ability to manage a player is actually failing with them? Surely the...

I am not sure that MR ‘failed’ with Clarke-Harris. He just maybe saw him as surplus to requirements. While there is no disputing JCH’s scoring record at Bristol Rovers, his performances at Coventry were mostly underwhelming. I don’t think too many supporters were that sorry to see him go. I saw...

I watched the extended highlights of Preston against Forest. Just goes to show the vagaries of football as Preston were far more attacking in this game than they were against us. They created numerous opportunities against Forest including hitting the woodwork 2 or 3 times but couldn't score...

I enjoyed listening to this one with Jim Brown. Lots of memories which older fans can relate too. Good to hear his views on managers and on Mark Robins in particular. He feels that Robins is one of our best ever managers, with stats to back that up. Last season we were on course to have our most...

I thought Kelly was great for us last season and I think he has been one of our best players when he has played this season. He always shows for a pass, he will receive the ball without panicking in tight areas and he is constantly talking and directing. I think we miss him as a player and as a...

Ahh.
