I go to lots of games. I just tell you I don't. You mentioning DIY is a barometer of when you and Nick have lost an argument but won't concede the point. Posts like you've just made also register on the barometer. Thanks for keeping me amused though by making sure the barometer works.

Mark Robins commented in the aftermath: "We shot ourselves in the foot from minute one, we didn’t start the game as brightly as our opponent. Worse than that, we’ve conceded the goal that put us on the back foot.

"It is really disappointing, we looked like rabbits in the headlights. We’ve got to demand more from each other. Working for each other and creating more, we clearly haven’t done that tonight. It was shell-shocking watching that performance.

"There is so much work to be done, I knew that before I came in. I’m searching for a group who are capable of winning games. Dion Kelly-Evans is small is stature but has got a heart bigger than most. But things were wrong, so we tried to change it."

Despite reserving praise for the central defensive pairing of Nathan Clarke and Farrend Rawson, the City boss is under no illusions about the sheer volume of the task ahead.

He added: "They are a powerful side, who play route one football with Nile Ranger as a target man. As a spectacle is was a poor game, the worst I’ve seen for a long time.

"The positives were the two centre halves, who headed things. But overall it was disjointed, and we’ve got a lot of work to do.

"It comes from within, hard work. I was holding their hands in the game, we need more nous. We work hard on the training ground, but replicating that on the pitch is the tough thing.

"I understand the fans booing, I’ve been booing in the dressing room. We’ve got to put a marker down and say this has to be the lowest point."

Could only praise the two centre halves. Two, yet we started with 3, and one was hauled off at HT.

Thinking he's taken a dislike to Turnball

Was he on about their centre halves for having the easiest game they will get all season?

So are we all agreed that it's the owners that need to change, not the manager now?

No point booing the players - they're shite and always have been!

At least he don't bs us, eerily similar to his post match interview when he joined us first time. Let's hope he can turn it around again

Not sure

But I think we can all say that it's no longer a case of the players not playing for the manager; 1, because this ones only been here 2 games and just over 1 week; 2, there has been no improvement under 4 managers (4 bleeding managers and the seasons not even out yet? I k we it was bad here but really?? Wow!), so clear that most of the players just aren't cut out for it

He blamed Oggy and said he'll be talking to the good people of TF and SISU to make sure he's cleared his desk first thing in the morning. Champions league in four seasons here we come. Yippee!

At least Oggy scored a goal from one of his kicks.

Owners don't have to invest to be good - but ours simply have no clue. Ridiculous decision after ridiculous decision.

Stop changing managers, stop alienating the fans, make peace with Wasps and CCC and then positivity will follow from good results.

SISU are too pompous to lose face. But not bright enough to turn this asset around- clueless.

Don't be stupid he never would have got a game.
It is like goalkeepers at coventry are the only ones who can't kick, how many did their keeper miss kick tonight I counted at least 4.
Then just look back at England keepers from the modern time how many of those were excellent at kicking?

What did he have to say on CWR? Hopefully he swore and said all the players are shit and will be gone in a massive clear out.

When asked about his thoughts on the fans booing at FT he said rightly so, I've just been booing in the dressing room too!
