Probably covered to death…but I’m wondering how much the Lampard effect has attracted Grimes… would this happen under robins? I think we are all getting a good feeling about Frankie boy. I recall being in Portugal and hearing the Robins story break… I’d had a few beers and if I recall I had a tiny 5 minute outbreak of hay fever with weepy eyes. Never happened before or since. But we do seem to be going places…

I think this is an example of the Lampard pull that we and also, the owner, would have been hoping for.

He should just not respond to people who post critical responses to his tweets at least not in the way he does, instead of saying 'grow up' he could have said something like 'if you get any information before I do I'd be interested to hear it if you can identify your source so I can verify what you say'.
Click to expand...
There's an argument he should be more professional and ignore them, but at the same time it's nice to see him respond to dickheads. If the responses were to Cov Live, who cares, but they're going directly to him, don't see why he has to just take it

Because we’re potentially the only club in the top 2 divisions who have to rely on outsiders to get any info about their club.

I’ve worked for two national papers and if a paper sports journalist at either of them went 5+ years without an exclusive he’d be fired.

If it was my job to report on Coventry City I’d try to do it as well as humanly possible. That involves getting exclusives and breaking news. Not sitting around waiting for someone else to do it for me.

Again, if he breaks anything the club don't want him to, he's shot himself in the foot. Not sure why anyone would be looking to them for breaking news though, it's just a local paper. They're pretty much just catering to old people now surely? It's like expecting breaking news from your morning paper. He had the Adi interview as an exclusive didn't he?

It wasn't. One team went up one didn't, one goes though to the next round, one doesn't. Champions league finals and World Cup finals have been won on pens. Key word.. won.

All record books will show the Luton and Sheffield Weds games as draws.
Penalties are a means to decide which team progresses but the official result is draw.

The pedants are out in force. We went through, we won. I couldn't give a flying monkeys dick how it was achieved.
Do World Cups won on pens have an asterisk engraved next to the winner? Do they fuck.

No, they don't.

But we still remain unbeaten in competitive matches at Wembley.

You could have left at the end of extra time satisfied with another battling draw against Luton.

No-one's fault but your own that you didn't.

In his interview alongside Torp after the Watford game, Rudoni made it clear he thought we had won 3 in a row, not 4 (rightly so).

So joint top earner. Fair enough. Assuming he’ll be our captain as well at some point

Assuming Sheaf and MVE go in the summer.

keep bta
Loan out Bassette
Get rid of Collins, Tavares, burroughs, JDS, Binks

Get in a new RB
new LB
Extend Allen’s contract a year
New CM
New RW
Big CB

and go again for another year
Click to expand...

While BTA has scored two goals recently, his performances have been sub par. I’d be happy to sell and go again.
One of those goals was a toe poke off Simms anyways

His perspective may well be coloured by whether progress in the cup meant he qualified for a win bonus.

Was thinking the same. I don’t think this happens if Robins is in charge . Lamps has got the pulling power and has raised the profile of the club.

Players want to play for top managers and legends like Lampard. Grimes is just the start.

It’s all relative, when people say Grimes is a ‘top player’, they don’t mean he’s world class.

Lampard has coached at a higher level than most managers in the championship. He could emerge as one of the top managers in the league if our form improves when our top players return.
