In the second part of CoventryLive’s in-depth interview with Dr Roberts, she explains: “At the moment I am working really closely with Dean (Austin) and the recruitment team to make sure that the people we are thinking of signing have got the right sort of character profile; the right psychological profile to fit into our existing team.

“And secondly, to make sure that we have got decent human beings in the squad that are going to want to develop and play, and don’t have an ego. People who are going to respond well to coaching and be able to meet the psychological demands of the game.

“We can do all the fitness testing and medical testing in the world. Everyone does that and there’s nothing different in what we do from the physical assessment side of things, but we are looking at how we measure character and how we select players on the basis of their psychological profile that’s going to enable us to get the best out of them. So that’s one element of my role.”

She added: “My background is in psychology, and the team dynamic of Coventry City is one of the most important things for us. We want to make sure that those individuals gel and are cohesive, want to support and play for each other and are able to build, foster and sustain really strong relationships not just with each other but with the performance staff and coaching team as well.

“So in terms of my expertise, I want to make sure I bring that to help our player selection, so I am working really closely with Dean and his team to make sure we understand as much as possible about the players that we are bringing in.”

that the people we are thinking of signing have got the right sort of character profile; the right psychological profile to fit into our existing team.

but having been tested on this if they subsequently fail to perform on the pitch it isn't anything to do with her. Even if the reasons for poor performance are poor character or inability to meet psychological demands of the game?

At least it's nice to know they're seeking decent human beings with no ego's.
MVE ( it would seem the only one left with personality) must feel like he's been left with a bunch of soulless accountants.
Hey, they're not mean to each other.

That’s because I selected a part of the two interviews to illustrate what she saw as part of her remit. I have left it up to others to comment on how unsuccessful that has turned out.

There is absolutely zero chance mark robins has been leaving simms out the squad for no reason.

Why do fans think this way
Click to expand...

Because some fans always think there is a hidden agenda and some hidden controversy. Actually based on nothing.

We can't be on to our 3rd keeper in 15 games that would be mental.

Dovins confidence will be absolutely fucked if he gets dropped again a for someone who hasn't even got on the bench for an age when everyone else is fit.

So it could be Collins v Moore, what odds can you get on both teams scoring 5+ goals?

Simms is too shy to celebrate when he scores a goal. That lad ain't got 1 ounce of being an arsehole in him.

You can just tell.

If a circus was full of clowns hey? Fair chance that 90% of the squad is the same. There are some weird goal celebrations around. The finger over lips. Gyokeres stupid pose, Haaland looking like he’s down the market with his Mrs.

‘Sheffield United will be well happy with O’Hare’s Goal celebrations…hang on a minute?
