    Match Thread Sunderland - Coventry City Match Thread - Saturday 9th Nov

    I'm not necessarily too focused on 'winning' - more interested in longer term goals but people need to understand that absolutely no good here comes of this becoming our 'Eustace moment'. Carr is just a guy filling in for a couple of days and (just from his comments on Robins) seems like a...

    Right who's the next manager then?

    Had to 💩 that; I hope you will agree that you earned it. 😂

    Of course I'm not and yes you are absolutely right, we could go Luton and fly up the table. We have the players to do that and if that happens you have to give Doug massive respect for making the big call. That's a real possibility here. But our fans get angry quick and let's be honest 90% of...

    Honestly, people should have been awake to how close we are to those days before they jumped on the Robins out bandwagon. Lose to Sunderland, bring in a new guy nobody has heard of/likes - start with losses to Sheffield United, Burnley and Cardiff and things will turn proper toxic. The wrong...

    It's not sentiment. This idea that (most) fans supporting Robins are dewy-eyed emotional buffoons needs nixing. Just a few months ago he took us to Wembley in perhaps the biggest game in a generation and had Man U on the ropes. We have never had a bad season under Robins. If you are anywhere...

    Chin up, lad. I felt like this when we sold Darren Huckerby - a few weeks later we signed Robbie Keane!!! ...then 30 games later Keane left and we got relegated, but, you know... chin up! ;)

    Interim manager trying to fundamentally change the style of play in a hostile media environment. I'd give him a chance. Might play okay with the fan base too. Any foreign guy I've never heard of with 'good data' needs to hit the ground running or it will be a bloodbath.

    Right who's the next manager then?

    Carsley is the only name that makes sense. Potential that the decision was made before Luton with only a small window of opportunity. If it is some kid from Wycombe surely you give Robins the Sunderland game?

    Thomas Asante

    Might get pelters for this but I feel like BTA, EMC, Wright and Bassette are all playing for the same position in this team. I like the look of them all individually but not sure any of look comfortable playing the Simms or Sakamoto role. BTA/Wright can work against certain set ups but I don't...

    Viktor Moving on

    I'm not sure where this specific wording came from but Vivesh did an interview late last season and then (I think) another one more recently (unless that was just more details from the first one). My take away from the first one was that Adi said 'i don't think I'm difficult to work with' which...

    Josh Eccles

    Well... Obviously not that element. 😂 I just don't want to lose both of them at the same time or for bidders to undervalued Sheaf because they would rather have Eccles.

    Josh Eccles

    I am slightly concerned that he will get those goals and it will be him that teams come in for next summer rather than Sheaf.

    Benjamin Tahirović

    Odd. 'Recoup some of their investment' implies he has been a complete flop but he has still got minutes in the Europa league this season so can't be that far off the first team.

    Lionesses at the CBS?

    Is there anything so very wrong with more goals? (I think) The size of the goal has been broadly the same since the 1860's. I could be wrong but gut says keepers were probably not as tall on average/as acrobatic then as they are now and outfield players run further during 90 than they did even...

    Match Thread Middlesbrough - Coventry City Match Thread - Saturday 2nd Nov

    As a stand alone game - its a decent away point and a good performance. But their fans are getting frustrated about them drawing/losing games they should win. They gifted Bristol City their first away win in ages a few weeks back and a lot of them seem this going the same way. BUT their...

    Viktor Moving on

    Vik's agent was very clear he moved him there for Amorim but I'm not sure it will be a major factor at this point. It sounds like Vik wanted to go in the summer anyway and so again it will be about whether anyone meets Sporting's valuation and how far Vik pushes it.

    People offering different opinions on a forum, hey? How dare they!! 😉 If you want another one - I'm not sure he will want to play Rudi or Kitching at LWB as Bend Oak is their form player and he is rapid. Might well put Dasilva back in.
