No it isn’t. The fact is we sold Callum Wilson and purchased Josh Mcquoid. The sale of McCallum was done to prevent such issues. You honestly think Sisu will not for the fourth year running be supplying a unsecured loan?
McQuoid was on loan along with Coulibaly and Alsopp. All 3 were shit.

Portsmouth spent £1.5-2 million on Marquis and he’s scored 6 league goals...

McNulty and Grigg between them have 6 goals in all competitions, 4 in the league. Grigg cost £4 million and has scored 1 goal in 19 league games.

Only strikers from Top 6 teams to have strikers with over 10 goals so far: Lapado - 10 goals, Norwood - 11 goals, Toney and Elisa - 21 and 13 respectively.

Our striking options don’t seem that bad right now. Not perfect, but reasonably good.

We are 13th on the table for goals scored at home. It's still a concern for me.
Joint 2nd on fewest home goals conceded so defensively it's looking good.

Ok so if Godden, Biamou and Bakayoko were all ending their contracts this year which if you were the manager would you retain and why?
#taxi it may have escaped your attention but we have a brilliant shot at promotion this year. Best to support the lads on the pitch to achieve this vs. idle speculation on who you personally want to bin this summer. What does that achieve at this time? It’s self destructive.

I like the bit about canning Robins and putting him in the ‘Big Ron’ role upstairs, so that he can spend all day giving pelters to Wasps and The Council in the CET.

It’s a redundant question, Biamou and Gooden are under contract past this summer.

As for Bakayoko, it’s dependent on him, if he ends the season well, it’ll be worth extending his contract. He’s got 4 goals in 19 league appearances, scoring a goal every 200-odd minutes - he’s nowhere near as bad as his critics make out.

It really wouldn’t be and it actually asking your opinion. Promotion are they good enough - yes or no?

I say no - you?

I’m on a long train journey and in tears - tears of laughter. Best entertainment in years - thanks Grendel - please keep going!

We’re 4th in the table, 2-3 games in hand on the teams above us and we’ve only lost only 3 games.

Just enjoy each game as it comes and trust the process! If we get automatics, it’s a fantastic achievement as no one expected it. If we end in the playoffs, we have an opportunity of promotion still.

Don't disagree with any of that but for me lack of goals is still a concern.

I’ve said in another thread that we’ll come 3rd. However, we are very much in the hunt for automatic promotion.

Besides, why is anyone upset if we aren’t good enough for automatic promotion? I don’t think anyone was really expecting us to be competing as we have been.

Learn to enjoy yourself rather than finding the next thing to whinge about.

I think Max has shown development and still has further capacity to come .
There are other examples in the past where the starting point and age defied the norm .
Whether MR felt he wouldn't make the grade ,felt the injury hangover may have derailed the season or simply sought to release that finance to do other business IDK .
Currently for me he's not letting anyone down ..

Thanks for asking Grends. I’m beating an urgent path to the Coventry City of Culture Trust to nominate Robins as the new Chair in line with your latest genius idea.

Ah billy bullshit train to bullshit land - got it

Now look m8, I know you’re a tad ‘busy’ at the mo ...and I really don’t want to chase you around this fucking forum. It’s Florida m8, it’s a sunny day, I’ve got things to do, a wife to disappoint, a full dishwasher to ignore etc..

Counter my earlier question so I can be disappointed in you one last time.

What about Mark Robins’ style of play? The passing game. It’s the best we’ve seen in many years isn’t it? (Generally speaking, not yesterday specifically.)

I think that’s harsh on Robins. He’s been critical of the council and maybe knows more than we do. I think it’s a fact that the council were extremely rude and nasty in their personal actions towards sisu and maybe felt Sisu were back at them too. Not heard him be critical of wasps. He’s an excellent man manager of young players and over the last few seasons the team has progressed over each season as they are this. He is risk averse and sets up not to lose rather than win. He’s an excellent fit for us

I have always been fairly consistent on this as well.

The only good football is winning football. Regardless how it’s achieved.

I’ve also said our midfield is very strong

I also credit the style more to Videash than Robins

Agreed about Viveash. If he wasn’t here don’t think we’d be playing this way - it’s very much an academy style of play. Viveash said as much in his interviews

Still though the first team manager has to back it which he has done

Didn’t he play the box midfield at Chelsea
