What UTTER TOSH - Make no bones about it Robins made real poor judgement calls today. How on earth do you not even play someone who just 3 days ago scored a brace! All season he has made some really dodgy calls, and has been bailed out on at least 5 occassions by DM. It is no coincidence that DM has an off game, and the side lose. Indeed all you have to do is look at the results in the league this season, and there are only 2 occassions when cov got points when DM didn't score!
Indeed up until very recently it was DM that was doing ALL the scoring! Now he has waved farewell to the Ricoh as a cov player, and some people are deluding themselves that he wasn't pivotal in cov attaining the league position they are currently in.
For all the shouts of how well Baker is inspirational - It was notable that they won 4-1 when he wasn't captain ! Also Baker has scored 7 league goals, but they were achieved in just 5 games. It's fine winning 5-0, but I'd much prefer winning 1-0 5 times!
And lets not forget all season cov have had lots and lots of chances, but apart from the obvious, have struggled immensely to finish! It's no good having 20 shoits a game yet not finishing.
That was what DM 9/10 brought to the table. How many misses were from inside the box? Freddy Eastwood would play brilliantly for a couple of games, then would become invisible the rest of the season!
Maybe this Leon Clarke can continue Dm's rich vein of form, but He has scored once in the last 6 games. There must have been a reason why Scunthorpe refused to buy him - hopefully he will leave any baggage there and com good for City - as they are going to need it know Cov have lost the top scorer in League 1. Only now can Robins' ability to manage can be truly assessed.
