One of the best bits of reading for a while. All want Mowbray, Waggot and Venus out.

All of them going on like they deserve better.


Enjoy.

I like the one where someone said we were crap. If we’re crap what does that make them?

Below our best first half , second half we should have had a penalty to go ahead .

They have big powerful players in the right areas and it was a difficult fixture , but they can't pretend the result wasn't a fair one at the least

Tbf, most of them were saying we were the better team & admitted they got lucky with the stonewall penalty.

Haha I noticed that too, made me chuckle.
Mowbray couldn’t get a side with Armstrong, Murphy, Madison and Joe Cole in it out of league one, criminal really!

The real criminal act was in the summer. Or perhaps not as it ultimately led to Robins' arrival.

Yet may have if he hadn't introduced Joe Cole IMO.

Cole didn't set the world alight but worked his arse off.

When the likes of Murphy and Armstrong flopped in the second half of the season, his performances improved.

We didn't go up because we didn't improve in Jan and Mowbray brought in the likes of Henderson.

I get that our budget probably wasn't all that, but bloody hell talk about scraping the bottom of the barrell.

They are just hanging on there to develop some property. Fat Waggott was a total twat he had no idea.

Apparently any team would be lucky to have Mowbray, he’s a premier league quality manager don’t you know.

If you swapped the managers of both sides we’d go down and they’d get in the playoffs
Yeah I wouldn’t disagree with that. If you look at Mowbrays track record he’s an impact manager in that he’s capable of making a positive difference when he starts but a season in he’s done. Robins on the other hand comes with a vision past hitting the ground running and builds something special, given the time.

So who was responsible for putting together the quality players all over the pitch?

It is not just the manager in charge of recruitment there. And even if he was, he doesn’t get the best out of them and somebody else probably will.

" You can tell why Coventry are doing well - but what a nasty, niggly team. "

What ? Said it before, everyone thinks they're bigger and better than us so now we've learned to play the same as the other teams in this league, we're the ones who get called out. We play high press like WBA, we're "niggly", they're smart and Premiership quality 😖

The fact that they had a 25 goal striker last season yet only finished a couple of points above us tells you all you need to know

I wouldn’t swap many of our players for theirs though, I thought the number 10 looked a fair player and the right back but he is no better than Dabo.

How their standards have dropped they used to cheer players like Shearer and Sutton, I wouldn’t have been able to name a single starter for them yesterday.

Rothwell was class. Scored the first and set up their second. Made some great driving runs and lovely ball in for Brereton at the end

I’d love us to sign Rothwell to be honest. They also have Bradley Dack who suffered a bad injury, he’s quality

I like us being referred to as nasty and niggly. Shows how we're turning into a decent Championship side

following on from HM :-

Yet again another inconsistent referee.


Thought our latest loan centre half looked OK- against a centre forward well versed in the dark arts. Better officials would have picked up on their forward constantly pulling at his shirt.

have they seen Vik's fucking ankle???? dirty Northern Cloggers
