It was a tough comment to make bearing in mind Webster is knocking on the door for an international recall, but I am sticking to it.

I put this on another thread, but his "work rate" means he is NEVER in his actual position which in turn causes the whole team to lose its shape. Equally he is the only midfielder we have who makes attacking runs, so give him a go in the middle with Fleck or Barton, who will sit deep, and let...

Pennington is head and shoulders above the majority of our team. Put him a team playing with confidence and/or better quality players and he would be even better. He makes the odd mistake, which is to be expected and accepted as a relatively inexperienced 20 year old, but he has to stay at CB...

Hearing Robins post match interview was a nostalgic moment. There is a danger when thinking about the past to remember things more favourably than the reality at the time; 'the grass is always greener' etc. I don't think this is the case with Robins, one of very few managers in the last decade...

Aside from the Barton point, as he had a poor second half, my other points still stand and are fairly balanced. I would add that we do look genuinely clueless tactically at times. I have made this point several times before and unfortunately it still rings true.

The actual attendance figure can be no more than 5,500.

G Thomas ahead of Turgott and Jackson??!!

I'm confused, why didn't we show the same appreciation for the dive and applaud it as we did the goal?

I appreciate that all may well be true, but I don't think it justifies applauding goals scored against the team we support.

I recognise some were but a lot started immediately after the ball hit the net. I understand the showing of respect for not celebrating, but do it after the game.

Other general observations: Samuels first touch has been woeful tonight (but at least he is getting into good positions). O'Brien's "work rate" means he is NEVER in his actual position on the wing, causing us to be really narrow. Williams is certainly not a left midfielder and willis...

Coventry fans clapping McSheffreys goal AGAINST US is one of the more tragic, and bizarre, things I've seen/heard at a football game. Pathetic.

I always felt McSheffrey was overrated (more so second time round). I always felt Clarke was a truly awful footballer. I always felt Robins was a manager we could progress with. Now they have all left I feel little for them. However despite their faults, you can't deny all three gave their...

The fact that very few (if any) of us have seen some of the new signings play, yet they are in the majority of people's starting XI's says alout about our current squad. Anyway, if I was in the hot seat I would go with: Jones Phillips Martin Pennington Haynes...

Accusations of posters being "plants" are often thrown around on here. I always took them with a pinch of salt, until this thread. I would propose a number of covers have been blown today.

Ability wise I think he will be fine, fans always have negative views of players that leave. My concern is more his temperament and attitude; he apparently threw a a strop because he was dropped by PNE. Their fans seem to think he has a big ego. Throw him into a changing room with...

SP's reign is littered with inconsistencies; from captains to formations to tactics to bomb squads. No wonder the players look clueless every game, the tactics probably change every 5 minutes. He is showing himself more and more to be an indecisive manager, in every aspect of the role. If he...

This is embarrassing. If I was inclined to protest, and be led in that protest by an organised group, it would not be this one. I would think a pivotal point in protesting is communication. Clearly a skill the authors of these statements lack. The "group" come across as unorganised and...

I am seldom one to call for the the managers head, preferring to give any manger the benefit of the doubt and time to turn the downward spiral around. The exception is when their position becomes untenable, which usually means the benefit of the doubt card is no longer playable and they have had...

This is tragic, awful negative atmosphere (if any at all), PA system is broken, it's raining,it's cold and most importantly we look genuinely clueless tactically. On paper our strike force should rip teams apart, yet it doesn't. Why? I like JOB for his commitment but does he have any form...
