I thought he played well last night, certainly in the first half.

I think the record for a reserve game at HR was 12000. The average gate for reserve games under Jimmy Hill would probably have been between 2k and 3k.

Never mind the selfies, he just need s to play better ( as he has started too lately) and fall down less.

The problem is that some people cannot see this. If we lose on Saturday there will be posters on here again saying that Robins has to go. It is madness. We have to have instant success immediately, even after a fantastic end to last season, otherwise there are calls for the manager to be sacked...

I think if we got promoted then, as with this season, you don’t replace the whole team. I think Willis would be one of the players that you would hope could step up to the next level. Under Billy Frith and then Jimmy Hill, George Curtis played in all divisions, fourth to first and didn’t look...

Without Sisu and the way they went about things, there would be no Wasps at the Ricoh. They were and continue to be at the heart of our problems.

Not sure why Burge would have been caught out by Notts County and in particular by their defence? I can see you meant to say Oxford. Wouldn’t it have been their attack however?

Good if there is a loop hole then.

It will be interesting to see how loyal their fan base will be if they start losing. If they were in the third tier of English rugby would they have our average of 10kish? I don’t think so. They need to go home to their own fans.

I would also worry about where we are playing if the court case isn’t settled. The guy from Wasps was pretty definite that no deal would happen if the legal action continued. It is hard to see where we would play if the Ricoh is closed to us. Nuneaton is perhaps the likeliest place but a lot of...

They were still based in the south east though. While many would still travel to Whycombe to watch them play it is a lot harder and more expensive for them to trek a hundred miles north for every home game. It also rankles with me that the RFU had no objection to them moving into a City with a...

Wasn’t the gate 17000? There was something wrong there as against Morecambe the previous Saturday the gate was 15000 with less than 1000 Morecambe fans. The following week for the play off semi there was 2000+ Notts County fans there and obviously more home fans too. I wonder if they just did...

It’s easy to justify why they should not go and support Wasps. Most fans of sports teams would agree that franchising is wrong. It deprives the people of the area where the sports club was set up, where it’s history and roots are of following the team that belongs to them. Surely every parent...

Need to adjust the timeline slightly. Sisu leave, Wasps go bust, CCFC buy the Ricoh.

I just think that the fact we conceded in the first minute of the second half changed things completely. We looked shell shocked for ten minutes when they created another couple of chances. It also allowed them to sit back, frustrate, time waste etc.We never had the fluency second half that we...

Apologies if that is the case. I will still disagree with you about the plan however as I think everything worked like clockwork in the first half on Saturday until we came to putting the ball in the net. We dominated the game and the possession playing, in my opinion, good exciting attacking...

As shown above, we didn’t get relegated on many occasions when we did stick by managers who then went on to achieve things this club had never achieved before. Last season your “ Taxi for Robins” thread was to all intents and purposes a call for him to be sacked. He went on to get us promoted...

Depends what you mean by the modern era. Since top flight relegation we have had a manager a year in probably what you would say is the modern era and that left us in the fourth division. Sacking managers doesn’t work.

That average is probably true post top flight relegation but not before. If you look at the managers during that stable period from 1958 to 2003 lots of managers were given the chance to overcome dodgy spells. Noel Cantwell’s team survived on the last day of his first season in charge before...

Managers from 1958 to 2003 in order are; Frith, Hill, Cantwell, Milne, Sexton, Gould, McKay, Sillett, Butcher, Howe, Gould, Neal, Atkinson and Strachan.That’s 14 managers in 45 years.If you divide the number of managers into that time span it gives each manager an average of between 3 and 4...
