So they are different to other play offs?
I’m talking about the play offs in Legaue 2 G Dawg
We finished higher in the table every season under Robins until our run in the FA cup, yet you still wanted rid of Robins each season.We lost through a Dabo penalty mate. Pretty unlucky and arbitrary but I guess ironically you believe that’s a management fail?
That wasn’t the question. To refresh your memory, the question wasn’t did Robins get on with SISU, it was whether or not he did a good job here.I have. Sappella and Robins got on.
I think as a manager he’s pretty limited on his own. He would have gone if we’d not got promoted through league two and it was luck and chance we did
He’s really an old fashioned manager. He needs a strong person beside him and without him he started to fail badly.
The interesting thing is his best years were with clubs who played at grounds they were exiled to
So why don’t you admit if we had a billion investment 25 years ago by a dodgy Saudi investor and went straight back up and never looked back you wouldn’t care less about any clubs being “denied promotion”
i’m struggling to understand what you are getting at anymore G man.So they are different to other play offs?
Spot on.Grendel i get it you dont like robins .
But you have to admit the club was in a bad place , wed had many managers before him with the same owners and both times he was here he did well .
Id argue at that time no other man would have done what he did for us .. also 2 promotions has to be applauded but not just that , the way we stayed up and pushed on in the championship was admirable when we didnt have the biggest budget at the time .
He managed under very difficult circumstances too
He helped build most of this squad we have here today , built mostly from the money he made by selling players from the team he built before that .
You also have to admire his role in bringing back fams to the club and helping create a generation of new fans
His effect on the club and the city was biblical really and his role in where we are now is still there
You have to admire it , its odd not to
He’s lasted far longer there than I thought he would, maybe they’ll stick with him.How long has Robins got?
lose the next two?
For me they have to give him another season. They stayed up last day last year so mid table would be progress and if they regress next year then whatever get rid .. the league is so challenging and really without spending tens of millions then what are you going to do overnightHow long has Robins got?

They’ve just spent £10 million on a new training complex as well.For me they have to give him another season.

If they have a brain no. If you add up all our injuries and put them together at the same time that's what Robins has been dealing with. It isn't as though he signed a squad of players like Sheaf either.How long has Robins got?

Its amazing but also give me hope we can do the same as its not exactly the biggest land area .They’ve just spent £10 million on a new training complex as well.
We need to buy the Connexion land.Its amazing but also give me hope we can do the same as its not exactly the biggest land area .
I imagine any further progress in our facilities hinge on promotion from here
They have owners with a bottomless money pit really, it’s not a fair comparison. Bigger facilities do come with higher maintenance costs of course, as our friends down the motorway know…so we’d need to expand things at a sensible rate.Its amazing but also give me hope we can do the same as its not exactly the biggest land area .

I agree mate ,.if its possible ?We need to buy the Connexion land.
You'd have to pay a bit over the odds to buy something from someone if its not for sale. I guess Prem money would help.I agree mate ,.if its possible ?

They backed him reasonably in the summer, as much as they could. They'd have liked to have chucked significantly more at it I'm sure but FFP has them by the bollocks after years of mismanagement.Pretty sure he signed a centre mid for about 4 million? Bought that centre half from Plymouth too.
That's speculation, nothing more.We finished in league two outside the top 3 - he’d have been fired if we didn’t make it
The goal they did score in the second leg should have been disallowed in fairness. Not that it matters or somehow tarnishes the job MR did.The league 2 play off season if you look at our results it's miraculous we got into the play offs. We sneaked in on the last day with a 0-0 draw at home to Morecombe. Notts County first leg a dodgy last minute pen for McNulty to equalise. As much as the 2nd leg was one of the best nights ever it could have been oh so different if the Notts County goal was correctly given making it 2-2. From the Exeter game right up to the FA Cup semi final season you couldn't fault Robins and Vivesh. It was time to move on though after that and they will always be acknowledged for our turnaround.
It's owned by one bloke so should be easily doable, probably not cheap thoughWe need to buy the Connexion land.
Whilst I agree the disallowed goal should have been given, but looking at individual moments fails to convey just how much of a demolition job Coventry did on Notts County that night.The league 2 play off season if you look at our results it's miraculous we got into the play offs.

We should of been out of sight when they got that one back before half time. Don't remember anyone complaining about it not being disallowed, this is the first time I've ever heard it saidThe goal they did score in the second leg should have been disallowed in fairness.

f Phil Parkinson getting into this league spending fuck loads of money deserves credit, doing it at a basket case of a club does too, right?
Opta back up to 93.44% wow
REALLY?! Nailed on?! how naive.Oh that's alright then - it's nailed on now
We didn’t sneak into the playoffs on the final day, we finished 3 points ahead of 8th. A draw against Morecambe was enough for both teams to secure playoffs/survival. In principle, would have been no different to us hypothetically drawing to Boro on the final day last season.The league 2 play off season if you look at our results it's miraculous we got into the play offs.

Who owns it?You'd have to pay a bit over the odds to buy something from someone if its not for sale. I guess Prem money would help.
I meant players you know are made of glass like Sheaf. Robins has had a long list of injuries for months.Pretty sure he signed a centre mid for about 4 million? Bought that centre half from Plymouth too.
Not surprised. Ipswich have to get 0.5 points per game more than us until the end of the season and they also have 2 more games to play. It doesn't sound a lot, but would you be confident of overtaking 1st place if we were 11 points behind them with 2 games in hand?Opta back up to 93.44% wow
Grimmer was assaulted when they scored. Unreal.
Same as Burge did at the home game, had both hands on him holding him away from the ball.
Not really the same for both then was it? Their player moved his head in and made contact. McNulty stood laughing at him.
How's it a yellow for both?
They have had 2 decisions go their way now, the goal and foul on Grimmer and that decision.
Absolutely. That prick Stead should have been booked and the goal disallowed.
Looked like a clear foul on Grimmer for the goal
