Robins looks knackered, bless him.
The Pink Un are the news sports section for Norfolk. Mainly focused on Norwich.There is an interview with Robins on “YouTube” 16 minutes long. It’s been posted by someone called “The Pink Un”. Never heard of him/her but the interview sheds light on the Palmer sale and other things. Much more informative than the BBC one.
I try to tell people several times that Robins doesn't have much influence on transfers anymore and am always met with derision.Robins looks knackered, bless him.
Makes me nervous every time he talks about transfers and says 'that's not my remit now. That's sort of taken away from me.' The answer to the final question was a little worrying too.
Would not expect anything less. Robins has always been someone to be honest and open about games.Good honest down to earth words.
In Robins we trust. Keep calm and carry on.
And our player deemed a pen, don't know if booked as a result against Leicester!Would not expect anything less. Robins has always been someone to be honest and open about games.
Although, his opinion on the Doyle challenge on Sakamoto seems a tad harsh on the defender, but I think it's his frustration bubbling over due to Tats' injury against Preston.
Which was not a penalty, to be fair. The referee making the wrong decision in calling a foul Saturday does not make the referee calling a foul on Dewsbury-Hall correct.And our player deemed a pen, don't know if booked as a result against Leicester!

I think he was hinting that some of our players were the subject of bids on deadline day and they would be aware of that interest via agents.Why was his answer to the last question worrying to you? He only gave his opinion on the transfer window
That’s the way I understood itI think he was hinting that some of our players were the subject of bids on deadline day and they would be aware of that interest via agents.

Kitchen sent off last year for not hitting someone.It's a bit risky him saying we should dish it out too, given just last week Wright being booked for defending himself, until referee's see what's there?

I actually got a hospitality seat on Saturday, pretty much pitch side.The more I think about it, I wonder if transfer deadline day the day before the match has impacted on some players mentally.
Palmer leaving and then some of those players would know which clubs were after them. That whole team didn’t look right mentally.
Even Robins doesn’t seem right mentally this season for some reason. Has he become too reliant on Adi and actually needs him?
I dunno.., doesn’t seem a happy camp right now.
The crowd did its best all things considered. But the lack of leadership is very clear.I actually got a hospitality seat on Saturday, pretty much pitch side.
And what I saw from players close up was fear, lack of confidence and heads dropping. Fear of making a mistake, not really wanting the ball, and if you get it get rid of it quick, not taking people on.
They do seem a quiet introverted bunch, more so with characters like COH, Hamer even KP gone.
The crowd need to get behind them and try and be positive.
Don't disagree.The crowd did its best all things considered. But the lack of leadership is very clear.
MVE looks the business, Wright when he’s in the mindset does too. The rest look insecure. I really hope that it doesn’t rub off on someone like Bassette who looks like he’s got something about him too.Don't disagree.
You look at our team though and think how many of them really think they are good enough to play at a higher level and have that drive.
MVE. Wright and Simms probably have the potential but need to let it out fully. I'd add Bassete to that but v early days.
You do worry about Robins ability to positively motivate.
Winning teams are happyGood interview. Bits I took away from it…
“we weren’t in a position to offer Kasey a new contract and then you know what Kasey is going to be like” - obviously sounds like he didn’t think he warranted a new contract and wasn’t giving enough when he only had a year left and he explains he agitated the move himself.
And the bit about leadership / aggression and the dressing room where he says “one or two have shown a bit in the dressing room after today”. Any thoughts on who that might be? My guess is Bassette and/or Eccles.
As others have said - several players wanted off. Didn't get what they want and now have to suck it up and realise playing for Coventry is better than working in McDonalds. Massive speculation and I probably shouldn't but I wonder if that might have something to do with our first choice CB pairing sitting on the bench.Why was his answer to the last question worrying to you? He only gave his opinion on the transfer window
That would require there to have been transfer interest in them, which I find unlikely though not impossible.As others have said - several players wanted off.

That, sir, is a fair point, well made...That would require there to have been transfer interest in them, which I find unlikely though not impossible.
I think it affected the crowd which in turn affected the players. You could sense real frustration at the midfield situation.The more I think about it, I wonder if transfer deadline day the day before the match has impacted on some players mentally.
