Wycomve also are a classic example of building a team that fits a system not random recruitment and then telling players to adapt to the managers way
Agreed. How much longer do the same things have to keep happening? Though I would like to know what PVA considers an acceptable return from the next 10.
Even the next 10 like the last 10 would not be acceptable

G - why don't you just list the next 10 games and tell us what combination of results is acceptable for you.

Our record in the second half of games is better than the first so not sure where you've got this from
I think this is a valid discussion on the OP and we as supporters should take our star spangled glasses off and actually look at what is happening especially our last 10 games.
Robins has done a fantastic job since he arrived the 2nd time, we have had a fair amount of luck but ultimately he steered us into our first promotion for 50 years or so, in nearly all the time he has been here we have struggled to score goals a plenty, we had a massive amount of luck and good fortune with McNulty scoring 28 goals in our promotion season but barely anyone else has troubled the scoring charts with any regularity. JCH looked like he couldn't hit a barn door when he was here and now scoring regularly same with Chaplin, its not coincidence that all of a sudden they have become better players.
Has Robins took us as far as his management style is capable? Baka is a massive let down, as told by the Walsall fans before we signed him, Hiwula has something but rarely produces on a regular basis, for what reason who knows! Tactics? laziness? lack of ambition? pissed off here?
Max won nothing in the air yesterday, so what did we do keep hoofing the ball for him to lose it again, our passing was woeful at times, the pitch didn't help our style of play and the ref was as usual a fucking joke. They kicked and disrupted our passing game and we had no answer to it, we are going to get teams like this so we have to adapt move it quicker don't let them get near us.
Fucking hell, after Tuesday people were saying we were the best team in the league and after one loss we “warming the taxi” (both reactions are ridiculous). Try and have some balance and stop reacting like a toddler. I’m loving this season, we’re playing beautiful football, in the play-off mix and lost only 3 league games all season. What more do you expect !

I’d swap with Wycombe wouldn’t you?
Of course but equally I’d swap with Liverpool. I’m talking about expectations not desires.
i was more talking about style of play

You’ve lost me. Style of play is brilliant. And Robins has one of the best win percentages of any recent Coventry manager.
Interestingly G from the stats I posted Wycombe have the second lowest possession of the ball - we have the highest

I was out of order posting that, hence why it was deleted.Many of our expert fans thought once that Chris Wilder wasn’t good enough when considered a candidate post Robins first time round
Ok

I apologise.
You made a comment about great football
Wycombe have a reputation for a direct and physical approach
They’ve won 12 games and scored more goals.
I think we are a boring predictable team
Ian Dowie had an overall win ratio of 40% and was at one point over 50%
By the end the last 15 games were at 15% and he was sacked when we were in the top half of the championship - Robins is at 20% in the last 10 games
I don't enjoy football if it doesn't deliver a good outcome and for the last 15 games or so it hasn'tIf you can’t enjoy the football we’ve been playing this season then there is no hope of enjoyment for you ever.
This thread doesn’t get made at half time when we were 2 points off autos in the live table. It’s a long season, we lost a game, stop reacting like a toddler.

At some stage we've always struggled, and it's a lot easier to take if it's decent football than our traditional approach of poor football *and* losing.I don't enjoy football if it doesn't deliver a good outcome and for the last 15 games or so it hasn't
A genuine question.
Would you rather us finish 8th or 9th playing this way or play how Wycombe play and get promoted to the Championship?
At the moment Wycombe’s style of play is producing more wins and goals than us - on average they have nearly 10% less possession of the ball every game

But Wycombe are an outlier. Always dangerous comparing one team at one point in time; it was Blackpool a few years ago - why couldn't we be like them as they were heading into the top flight? We don't use Bradford or Plymouth as comparisons.I think you're missing the point a bit. Winning and playing great football is the ultimate aim, but we'd all swap places with Wycombe right now wouldn't we? I doubt many of their fans are complaining about not being entertained. Winning is everything.
