Maybe we'd be better off employing somebody who can give the club their time and effort ?

Fuck them , she's been here for a year this month and this is her job role

"She brings a wealth of experience in high-performance sport to Coventry City and will ensure the highest standards in all aspects of performance and preparation for elite football are delivered sustainably across the whole Club.

Dr Roberts will work in unison with the senior football management team and report to the Executive Chairman."

How do our fans think she's doing ?

Maybe that's why she's secured additional employment as she can't guarantee her future here after the absolute failure she's overseen

Watching someone bust a braincell trying to defend a tie in with an out of town rugby club is going to be glorious.

a lot of talk about fitness levels, just came up on sky that were top of goals scored in the 76-90 min…. 11 scored, and I don’t think we concede many late goals ?

I think it's perfectly reasonable to asky questions of her and her role. It seems to trigger a lot of people though. Not sure if that's because some people have taken it too far in the past or what. Maybe, like I say, some are just white-knighting.

The IPad can be saying one thing about personal performances or whatever, but frankly I'm constantly seeing poor levels of performance, energy, and things like concentration. The league table also doesn't seem to argue with that.

No, it isn't all her fault. No, she isn't a terribly bad person I'm sure. However, if you are employing someone in a directors position on what will no doubt be a very handsome salary, then I think it's very fair at the moment to question what she is bringing to the table. She isn't the only one of course.

All the 60 minute subs probably help with that.

There seems to be an assumption that she is being criticised because she is a woman and that the critics are misogynists. Her defenders saying she has nothing to do with performance on the pitch. I’m sorry, but fitness and mental resilience do affect playing performance.

Our problems have nothing to do with a lack of fitness, it's piss poor recruitment that's been our issue, along with poor form from certain players.

Dasilva is a liability that every other team in the league has sussed out. Binks is a ball playing centre half who just can't defend.
Kitchen cost £4million but is being kept out of the side by a clown. We have 3, third choice keepers, none of which is good enough.
Sheaf's form hasn't returned since getting injured, Sakamoto looks lost, EMC has hardly impressed despite costing £4.5 million, and Simms looks like he couldn't give a fuck.
We don't know Rudoni's best position, and we really miss Wright.

Other than that we look fine

You missed out Milan going from a £15mil player to Sunday league player.

That might be partly down to not having adequate cover, Milan is a good player, but he has to play every minute, we have no other option at RWB, and since Sakamoto has lost his form, he has no outlet.

As a non exec director all she’ll do is go to the occasional board meeting won’t she?

Given that Doug King is currently listed as a director on eight different boards (not including Coventry Ciddy), I’m guessing he’ll be ok with it

In friendlies and meaningless cup games these players have turned in some very nice football indeed. In random league games sometimes they’ve managed it too.

So the ability is certainly in there, but to coax it out of them consistently is the problem.

So why did Frank make any comment about fitness and having to do some extra work on that, then. It’s not pre-season ffs.

I agree with your comments about recruitment and form, but in many games they have hardly looked high energy from kick off. I’m sure Robins commented on it, along with their psychological fragility.

If there weren’t some concerns about performance levels, this thread wouldn’t have been created and contributed to.

My point was that our performances (or lack of) has very little to do with fitness levels.

Players like Dasilva and Binks arnt going to be better defenders just because they get a bit fitter. Against Cardiff (for example) we conceded a sloppy goal after 4 minutes!
How can that be down to fitness????
It's down to piss poor defending, nothing else. And how many goals have we let in when a keeper could of done better?

There's clearly an underlying agenda on here against our female "performance coach"
but it's not down to her, all she's doing is desperately trying to polish turds!

You see, it’s people defending the PD that refer to her as female, it me. This is an area where gender / sex makes no difference to the ability to do this job. Some of us just don’t see the role as having made any discernible difference.

The reason this has raised its head again is because in his press conference the manager has contradicted what was previously said by the owner regarding fitness. It's nothing to do with an agenda.

Yeah I also think we're trying to play a type of football that doesn't play into our strengths. We are always at our best when we are playing quick incisive counter attacking football.

Didn't he say 'sharpness'? Sharpness and fitness as slightly different. You can be fit and run all day have great base fitness and strength and conditioning numbers, but if you tempo of play and decision making isn't quick enough, then your not sharp. It may be the intensity in training hasn't been high enough, and that's been translating onto the pitch, moving the ball slowly, slow to react, etc.

“We’ve done some good work and some physical work. An assessment of mine after the game last week, this league is ruthless in terms of that how you should be at peak fitness and sharpness and competitive to the second ball, so there’s been an element of that to our work.”

We made a big deal of being able to attract a top performance director whose remit has been stated to included ensuring the players are as fit as possible and as mentally prepared as possible, not to mention being involved in the recruitment of the coaching staff.

All of those areas have been routinely questioned this season and stated to have regressed yet nobody is allowed to criticise the performance director without being labelled a misogynist.

In the midst of all this the performance director then takes on an additional role which may well not require much time but surely someone should have realised the optics of such an announcement?
