I haven’t until today found any positives about having incurable cancer, it’s slow growing but nothing can be done but I’ve got a few years left hopefully, but I’ve found one positive.
After 55 years watching Cov, watching this current pathetic spineless ‘pile of shit’, team is at least coming to an end .
I’ve had such great teams to watch , the 70’s 80’s & 90’s, back then we had skilful players but we also outfought teams, every team hated playing us, especially coming to Highfield Road, but this current team has to be one of the most cowardly, talentless teams we’ve had. So many players who simply do not give a shit, most of them are just very unlikeable .

Fuck O'Hare, he's history and towards the end only bothered to turn up in the games he could put himself the the shop window and cocked his penalty up in our biggest game since 87 to fuck us off at the first chance he could

Granted he would get into this shower of shite but he did nothing to warrant being probs our highest ever paid player like he demanded

It's been a funny year. We've had days like Wembley and Wolves and days like Birmingham and Portsmouth away.

It was utterly embarrassing today. I cannot believe some of these players aren't wound up. The Pompey fans were taking the piss out of them all and not one of them fancied it. Their striker was laughing at them.

None of them have any pride. Mentally pathetic. Captained by a shy bloke who wouldn't say boo to a goose.

Definately got players of quality at this level. Let's not simply say they are shite. They are not. Many managers in the league say so too. As always it's the coaching ability that makes a team tick. What we are seeing is players unable to cope with anything once the first plan has gone out the window as it did today. That's down to Lampard. He has until Xmas to galvanise this team and get some good results or he will be gone. This is not what Doug ordered and it's all on him. Make no mistake getting rid of Robin's was a shocking decision up and down the football world. Doug's big I am tactics shows a naivety and lack of football knowledge. Thanks for saving the club, but stick to the business side of it and let the football heads do the talking.

2024/25 League 1 Champs? said:
there are two things relevant here - one is that Robins decided, against advice, to fall out with and get rid of at least 50% of the reason we were successful, and the messing around with the coaching / management / backroom staff appear to have had a detrimental effect on the team, and the constant chopping and changing goalkeeper / back four etc showed little evidence whoever was making the decisions knew what they were doing…

two, no matter how much noise you make about it, the form from Wolves is entirely relevant, of course it is, it was the start of a very poor run of results which, if continued, would certainly lead to relegation, so something needed to change.

I don’t think anybody could deny Robins was one of, if not the best manager we’ve had at the club in terms of moments he’s given us, achievements over the years, and I think most importantly how he brought the team and the fans together, but he made mistakes and ultimately couldn’t undo them.

there’s no point looking backwards though, and there is hard evidence we would’ve struggled with Robins still here (results, form, team selections, tactics and substitutions) but NO evidence he was turning it round - yeah he’s done it before but that’s not evidence he would’ve done again.

I think people ‘argue’ because there seems to be a black or white view to this, and I don’t think that’s the case
Click to expand...
Plenty of evidence he'd have turned it round if you looked at the underlying numbers which every professional club should do nowadays. Unfortunately we have a megalomaniac owner who, by his own admission, knows nothing about football.

Even if you then believe we still would have struggled, did Robins not deserve the opportunity to put it right? Instead, one blip after 7 years of constant progression & he's dispensed with.

Missed the first half (only time this season) and part of me is glad from the stats.
First shot in extra time in the second, Lampard has one hell of a job in Jan.

Only good thing I saw was that is probably the last time Collins starts for Coventry, utterly hopeless.

Yes, fuck him - He did nothing to command being the highest paid player in the clubs history

If we had actually replaced him he wouldn't even get spoken about

not Sure what to make of that, in shock, I know we’re poor but that was shocking, Bassette scores it’s game over aver 15 mins, Collins and da silva shocking as always, Thomas has never been good enough, as daft as this prob sounds that might have done us a favour, now it’s glaringly obvious what we need as if it wasn’t anyway, how can you go from the first 15 mins to that

We didn’t need to replace him, we needed to keep him! Same with Hamer, king being arrogant and not paying him what he wanted! Look where we are now……

Look at where Hamer and o hare are now though, it’s just poor recruitment from king and if we could have kept them for not a lot more then surely it was worth it? Surely you’d have rather had o hare playing for us now in the midfield compared to what we currently have?
