I’d like to see Chaplin and Bakayoko have a few games at some point, as I think they’ll make an interesting partnership. That said, Chaplin needs to offer something off the bench to get a look in.

Yes, I get that, but the board has seemingly been more willing to back Robins than other managers.

Robins has been someone SISU have consistently backed, even in his first spell. I sympathise with Pressley because he had to deal with admin and cutting the budget. Mowbray was backed a bit, and I think a combination of his poor recruitment and slashing the budget put us in a position where we’d...

Well, we didn’t and he probably wanted to play in Scotland. Good luck to him, and I’m glad to see he’s doing well for Hibs.

We’re 4 points off playoffs, so we could still make the playoffs. Next season, we ought to really push for the playoffs and I’ll judge Robins accordingly next season. Given the context of losing McNulty, and us being a newly promoted team, I’m pretty happy with where we’re at as a team.

Hoping Barnsley and Luton absolutely batter Doncaster then... Then it’s up to us to do our thing, I’d still take a draw v P’boro.

Personally, I think it’s neither, we’ve always been a top half side this season. Thankfully, we’re on a bit of a run and a few teams around us are struggling for form, so playoffs is now a possibility. The section of fans expecting us to get playoffs as a minimum requirement on the back of a...

I agree, it seems to be the case that whenever we have an ‘easy’ run of games, we tend to slip up. It is a dog fight for that 6th place spot, another cliché, but we’ve got to want it more than P’borough, Blackpool and Doncaster.

I think 6th place will have a lower than average points tally as in previous seasons, hopefully. We’ve got several big games coming up, starting with tomorrow and hopefully we can get 3 points.

The Coventry City Council can block planning permission for a stadium? It’s pretty obvious that it’s not only Sisu that’s preventing this hypothetical stadium being built.

No one from our first team came from non-league. I don't think Bosma hasn't made a single appearance on the bench, and was very much signed for the development team as someone who MAY be able to make the step up to the EFL. It's probably fair to say he's not on track to earn a new contract with...

You could probably buy a Mars bar with the money saved from terminating Bosma's contract. So it is very, very unlikely that signing Bosma prevented us from signing anyone for the first team. Given the number of players we've signed this season, I'm inclined to say signing a few development...

Precisely. A few posters criticised the example of signing players like Bosma instead of investing in the first team. But, as a League 1 team, supporting a squad of say, 25 senior professionals is not viable, for our budget or player happiness, look at how quickly Ogogo became unhappy and Brown...

A few people were questioning Robins' approach to signing players for the U23s. Well, having players like Williams being able to step up into the first team and put in a solid performance from the U23s demonstrates that Robins is a manager who is switched on and is taking our club in the right...

I wouldn't necessarily disagree with you, Burge has to work on facets of his game regardless of whether or not he chooses to stay. I back Robins to recruit a good GK if Burge chooses to leave (or if he fancies letting Burge go) but it could be a possibility no one was available at the time who...

Enobakhare is out of contract in the summer so I do hope we can sign him. As for Thomas, I suspect he'll go out on loan somewhere and I'd have him again because he's a very good player, but his final product is lacking and something he needs to improve if he is to carve out a good career above...

I'm not saying he hasn't made mistakes because he has, he's also had some really good games like v Peterborough and Sunderland at home. I'm not going to make a list, but it's pretty self-evident that Robins will replace him if there's a better goalkeeper out there that's within our budget. His...

That’s simply not the case. Our inability to finish chances has cost us way more points than Burge or any GK could cost us this season. On Friday, had Thomas scored that 1v1, we probably win that game. Burge fucked up big time because had he not made his catalog of mistakes, we may have held on...

I’ve been consistently saying that Bayliss has been let off the hook with average performances. But since Xmas and New Year, he’s played some very good football. However, he played pretty well against Burton. Defensively he was better than average, got a goal and out Thomas through brilliantly...

A goal and an assist would be though...
