    Was he having a go or just telling them to stop having a go at the players? Forget how shit we are and whether he should go or not. Sad times when fans with nothing about them have a go at our most successful manager of recent times.

    That isn’t a handball and if it was, why didn’t the ref blow when it first happened instead of when we scored.

    MVE really not on it - and we have no obvious replacement. In fairness he’s getting a lot of ball with his back to goal in his own half, which is tricky. But he’s just not on it today.

    I know he’s a boo boy on here, but JDS is having a good game at both ends.

    Our right side looks vulnerable. Thomas in mare mode, and MVE looking off it too. Sheaf having a poor game on the ball too, indecisive and slow.

    Really want him to come good, and he shows glimpses. But Thomas in this first 10 has shown exactly why he’s also a worry; poor pass leading to a chance, poor positioning keeping them onside and a poor touch under no pressure giving them an attacking throw.

    Don’t mind the formations switch, be good to see a (sort of) old school big and little combination up front. But we’re a bit screwed if either WB gets injured. We’re so top heavy it’s mad.

    Positive feeling about tomorrow. MR has had focused time to think, plan and subsequently work with the players. The players may have had a week off, but I hope the coaching staff didn’t take that long - while our players are underperforming, our tactics are non-existent. On paper we have the...

    Charity Beer Festival

    I promise this is the last time I’ll mention this…. The Festival started yesterday, so I’m giving it one last push. Have a look at our social media pages if you are on the fence and hopefully they’ll convince you to come along! https://www.facebook.com/nuneatonrtbeerfestival...

    You can’t drop that and not finish, who is the other one?!

    Makes it even stranger that MR reportedly pursued him for so long. The footballing world isn’t massive, surely the due diligence was done. So either the rumours are bollocks, we didn’t do our homework or MR thought he could manage it. Regardless he’s poor at the minute and I prefer Binks.

    Poll: Robins In or Out? Part 2

    Honestly no idea - can’t remember. I wasn’t intending to claim ownership by the way, more making the point a few of us thought it as it’s just odd! Bit ironic you finding a post from three years ago to support your point though. I mean, who does that sound like….!!* *(I’m only messing!)

    Poll: Robins In or Out? Part 2

    Hahah on many levels. I actually thought I proposed the spreadsheet theory years ago. Perhaps we both did. So either he definitely does and it’s obvious to many or it’s just folklore that’s taken hold. I strongly vote the former. Either way, he’ll be getting off on the fact this is even a...

    Sheaf

    The lack of effort by some is pretty evident. I doubt it’s intentional but a confidence thing for the most part. Next game MR has to play players who have some confidence and/or resilience and/or commitment about them. Who ticks that box that isn’t currently playing I don’t really know...

    Running

    Finished in 3:45, which considering the amount of mileage I’ve done for charity the last few months (~900) and the fact I don’t prep as I should ie I’m not a “proper” runner I’m pretty pleased with. The route was fairly flat as advertised, albeit the crowds and atmosphere weren’t as good as...

    Poll: Robins In or Out? Part 2

    The players appear non-plussed. There’s an argument is on the staff to motivate but equally there needs to be a desire to be motivated and for some reason it isn’t there. At least it appears not to be - we don’t know what every player is actually feeling. Expectations are higher and so they...

    Poll: Robins In or Out? Part 2

    Typical fan = criticise every player possible, push the MR Out narrative for years, keep a spreadsheet (genuinely tragic) and just generally play the pantomime villain on SBT. That’s your script isn’t it?

    Poll: Robins In or Out? Part 2

    I genuinely worry about the mental health of some on here. I love this club, had an ST since I was old enough, there through St Andrews, away games, L2, tattoo (which just stays inside the ‘not chavy’ requirements) etc etc - all the super fan stuff. But some of the emotional outbursts on here...

    Just looking for my next race and I remembered you recommended this one! I’ve had a quick look and there’s still spaces. Anywhere you’d recommend flying into/staying?
