I think what I’m enjoying the most is the bed shatting about this being a once in a lifetime opportunity as most of us go through the third such opportunity in 4-5 years. Classic.

Why are we even talking about mark robins , he has nothing to do with why the team has underperformed for 2 months .

Its weird people keep bringing him up as a negative rather the the absolute positive that he was

Its because any criticism of Lampard is retorted with "YEAH BUT HE ISNT PROTECTED FROM CRITICISM LIKE ROBINS WAS"

You don't have to shout

 

[clint van damme]

Oh, I agree, people's biases come into play, certainly (from me too, no doubt).

I don't know how I'll feel about Lampard if we don't go up, it all depends on what happens from here in in.

If we continue to be exploited in the same ways we have been the last couple of months until the end of the season, then there will be some hard choices to be made.

Looking at it purely pragmatically, because I like Lampard, but putting that to one side.

If we don't go up it will be a huge failure from the position we were in.
However, assuming we're top 6, that will be Championship play offs twice in 2 seasons for a club that couldn't get near getting out of this league until 22-23.

You don't sack a manager who's achieved that, even if he's responsible for a shit few months in the run in.

 

[SkyBlueMatt]

I think most people now accept that sacking Robins when we did was the correct decision.

If we don't get promoted, then it hasn't really been a step forward.

We've never had a shot at the autos before, and we're unlikely to get another one soon if we don't do it this year.

It’s a pretty good record isn’t it? One way or another us fans have had an entertaining time. Unlucky the last 3 seasons if the play-offs and FA Cup are anything to go by.

 

[clint van damme]

Why?

Because very rarely do you get to this stage of the season without the auto spots being dominated by the parachute teams

It's been a great 8 or 9 years. And in my opinion, nothing will bring it down quicker than starting to sack managers every time we hit a bump in the road.

Says the guy who if he stumbled across Adam Armstrong or Kieffer Moore would say your the past and not the future.

Robins isn’t a tactically astute manager and that’s why he was fired once Viveash left - king said as much

I know you are a tad embarrassed by your behaviour on here over the last few weeks but this analogy makes actually no real sense.

As someone who knows full well how unpopular my views on this window are, I beg you, please keep going with this one, it’s helping me massively

 

[robbiekeane]

Why are people getting themselves worked up if we announce him later?

The other day it was worked up we wouldn't be signing him.

It's as if the goalposts keep moving.

i think what we have learnt is lots of coventry city fans have a lot of anxiety and instead of therapy they come here lol

 

[Cally Fedora]

Fair point. But it’s happened this year. I really don’t see this as shit or bust. The squad is building and all outcomes are possible in this league

It's being delayed so that we won't expect more (I hope).

I dont agree with the 'if we don't get promoted this year we never will' train of thought.
But I do think it would have to be via the play offs

 

[covcity4life]

I'm fine with my reaction. Melted down because the man who saved the club was sacked, came to terms with it after a few days.

Slated King, some of the things which I slated him for I got very wrong, some of the things, despite denial on here, I know that I was right about.
Didn't want Lampard but supported him from the minute he walked through the door and still 100% behind him.

Totally fine with it, I've no need to try and sugar-coat how I rea ted to the goings on at the time.

Ok so you admit you had a meltdown

So that's ok but no need to make out those that didn't have one are anti robins

Some just liked what they read and heard about lampard and we're happy to give him a chance. Doesn't mean they hated robins

I've given you examples of me sticking to for robins. But lampard revival showed king was right

No need to be digging people out! Lets stick together. You have had plenty melt downs on here. May he who is without sin cast the first stone.

You've totally missed my point about the anti Robins agenda but I'm not going over it again so I'll put it down to me not explaining myself very well.

Ok let's drop it. Rest assured if I see people being disrespectful to robins I will call it out. He is and always will be a legend

Heck I want stoke to get promoted with us!
