    Robins Squad comments

    The last few weeks we have heard MR moan about squad size and the number of matches the players are playing etc etc ….. if you are 3-0 up at home to a non league side who have not had a shot on target and you choose to bring on proven players rather than give minutes to young players you have no...

    Robins has to own that one

    Robin’s got it wrong tonight. we knew Preston would press hard and be physical yet we ignored the more physical and experienced Kitchin and Bidwell in favour of Binks and Da Silva . He waited until half time to alter anything and somehow managed to make us even less effective in the second...

    Ohare contract

    Really poor comments from Ohare. No suggestion he’d like to stay, instead agent talk for I’ll be leaving on a free !. He’s contributed nothing for 12 months and if he intends to walk in the summer we should flush that out now and seek to sell him in January if he won’t sign a new deal. I...

    Does Robins lack ambition ?

    We have drawn 6 matches this season giving us 6 points. We would have been better to have been less cautious, won2, drew 1 and lost 3…. Giving us 7 points. yesterday with Norwich barely getting out of their own half we played 3 centre half’s , even bringing on Binks to freshen up that back 3...

    Pep explains why we are missing Hamer

    And why Kelly, Eccles, and Sheaf won’t work as a combo ….

    The ones who got away

    We know Robins often says that this is a player we tried to sign previously etc etc so this is a thread for players we think we tried to sign this window … we can then see how they perform between now and January …. Brekalo Swift Dragus

    Friday Press Conference

    So it’s Friday and Turner and Eakin are sharpening their pencils ready to ask Robins the questions we all want answering with a few days left in the Window …. so what should they ask ( 3 questions only ) What will they ask ( 2 questions only ) I’ll start …. should ask: 1) what are your first...

    Robins dilemma

    I think it’s clear that our end game starting front 2 are Haji and Simms. You don’t invest £11m to put one or more on the bench. This is creating an issue for Robins I suspect. Of the 3 Godden is probably the least impactful coming off the bench. When the game is stretched and there is more...

    Recruitment

    I’ll be totally honest I’d never heard of Tats, Milan, Binks or Haji before this window but I’m super excited at their potential. @Saddlebrains do you know who has been doing the due diligence on these players. They are not the sort that Austin or Johnson would have looked at at previous clubs...

    Under 23’s ??

    I don’t watch our under 23’s but I’m surprised very few ever appear to be pushing to make the first team squad …. Even Howley is technically in the age group below. What is the issue ? Is our academy just not attracting the right calibre players because of our category status ?? There isn’t...

    Coventry Telegraph 🤯

    I’m not surprised that we have not heard from Robins, King or Boddy this last 2 weeks as they are all probably on much deserved holidays. I am surprised though that the Cov Tele never try to interview Austin et al. I think understanding how their last few weeks have been, what a typical day...

    Goals

    It was very noticeable last night that when Vik pulls wide and beats his man we do get bodies in the box but their movement is not that of a goal scorer. When big Vik doesn’t score we don’t really have that final cutting edge. The Waggy over Tavares decisions will continue to surprise us all...

    Managing expectations

    One of the things I like about MR is that post match he normally is pretty honest about our performance. today I’m surprised by his comments that clubs in the championship are splashing the cash and it will be tougher to compete. it’s not actually factually true. the only clubs spending money...

    Trialists

    I can’t remember a summer where we haven’t had at least one trialist in pre season or a player training with us to get fit / earn a contract offer. I might be wrong but it feels unusually quiet this season. Maybe at championship level the trialist piece is just at under 23 level ??

    Pace out wide

    @betterdays Do you think Robins is planning to increase our pace in the full back positions ?? So important to the way we play.

    Who and Why ?

    So it seems clear from the comments of Boddy and Robins that we will cash in on at least one gem this summer. If you had to lose one key player who would if he and why ? if sell O’Hare first. I love Callum as a player andhis end product has been much better recently, but I think you could...

    BBC CWR

    Crikey how poor were Benno and Lorna Bailey yesterday ! loved Bennet as a player for City but their post Match analysis was embarrassing. It was like listening to 2 people new to the sport but trying to blag it. Listening to them explain why we would be better not to go up this season and go...

    Ebosele

    Tore Dabo apart all match …. No end product but that level of pace and directness is one of the missing dimensions in our team. long standing city fans will remember that sometimes you can create problems for teams just through raw pace …. The Bobby Gould team of Quinn and Rosario had a front...
