Its not shit we did win but just weren't allowed to be in FA Cup final.We need to stop with this shite, we didn’t win.

Apart from still a few seconds to play after goal, we did win. No way City would have let a goal in after that with the prize at stake.
For commercial reasons , a way was found to disallow the goal and stop us playing in final.
A referee analysed goal straight away and concluded part of a Man Utd boot was rubbed out and the angle of the lines changed to make it look offside. The angle of advertising board subsequently was unnatural .
I was told this a few weeks later at appointment. The guy saw my City shorts and shouted "Robbed!!" and told me what he had found. He has nothing to do with Coventry and independent. VAR is used to manipulate decisions.
It is heartbreaking, I know we won that day. Unbelievably came from 3 nil down to win 4-3 against one of the biggest clubs in world.
I'm sure Robins is delighted with Torp's 1 assist and no goals in 15 Championship games.
Not to mention his 3 significant injuries in 6 months.
And scored in the FA Cup and a disallowed wembley winnerHe set up both goals at Plymouth, but didnt get the assists, because Simms first shot came back off the keeper, and the equaliser was an OG, but it was his pass/free kick that created the chances in the first place
Not quite... it went Torp, Kitching (maybe), Defender, Kitching... goal... but get what you mean.and the equaliser was an OG

Yeah, stunning pass to SimmsWas that the one with the amazing curled pass on the half way line?
On Saturdays evidence he’s still the same player he was last season- technical ability in flashes but far too slow at times and has little presence in midfield. Improvement required.Anyone else expecting big things this season?
Hes given us glimpses of real quality, and with a couple of months rest and a full pre season behind him I think we will have a real player
Fair to judge him around November time would you say?
That was just a 63 min appearance though, in the very first game of the seasonOn Saturdays evidence he’s still the same player he was last season- technical ability in flashes but far too slow at times and has little presence in midfield. Improvement required.
Yes, not writing him off but I had hoped a full preseason with us might have addressed some of his weaknesses.That was just a 63 min appearance though, in the very first game of the season

Well, the forum’s annual tradition of overreacting is under way, again. We’ve made tactical tweaks and have players adapting to that, new teammates or even the league itself.That was just a 63 min appearance though, in the very first game of the season
We need to start quicker - the start to the last 2 seasons has pretty much cost us. Both times we were keeping up with the top 2.Well, the forum’s annual tradition of overreacting is under way, again. We’ve made tactical tweaks and have players adapting to that, new teammates or even the league itself.
10 games is a useful barometer and even then it’s clear that Robins sets the team up to peak later in the season. It’s obviously not desirable starting slowly but I’d rather than a quick start and fizzle out by Xmas like PNE.
Am I right in saying, that's the first time Torp and Allen have been partnered together?Well, the forum’s annual tradition of overreacting is under way, again. We’ve made tactical tweaks and have players adapting to that, new teammates or even the league itself.

Based on? Struggle to think of many games he’s had for us that have been better than what Eccles has produced over the couple of years.He's got more ability in his left little toe than Allen and Eccles. Robins will get him going.
Of course you don't write the guy off, it is only one game, and I think technically he is one of the more gifted players we have. I think he can score quite a few from us as well, which is what we could certainly do with from our midfield.
Regardless of that, my concerns are that he's too soft and gets bullied if it gets physical in the midfield area. I started noticing him shitting out of tackles at the back end of last season, and on Saturday he seemed to dissappear when we were getting overrun. That's something that needs to get sorted if he's going to play regularly. He's probably a better bet further up to be honest, but let's see.
Torp didn't contribute much on Saturday, but as I've pointed out elsewhere he didn't have 'a full preseason' because he was out injured for a lot of it.Yes, not writing him off but I had hoped a full preseason with us might have addressed some of his weaknesses.
I agree, Allen wasn't great but as you say he never hid and he wasn't anywhere near as poor as has been made out.I can take players trying things that don't come off, Torp tried nothing at all. He seemed to avoid the ball. It's mental that Allen bore the brunt of the criticism on here despite being the player to show for the ball from the centre backs. If Torp doesn't fancy doing that he is plainly not up to it.
People never learn. We had one below par performance and all of a sudden it’s a shit team full of shit players.Some pretty stinging criticism already for someone only here half a season.
A good number of these types of things were also written about Sheaf in his first season. While some suggestion that the manager’s instructions are contributing might be taboo on here, they can’t be ignored either.People never learn. We had one below par performance and all of a sudden it’s a shit team full of shit players.
Torp’s only really getting started now with the amount of games he missed last season. Give him at least 10-15 games before writing him off!
I like him. I didn't see Saturdays game of course but I think he's a very classy player. Again, up to the manager to get the best from him.Some pretty stinging criticism already for someone only here half a season.
He was bad on Saturday, but almost everyone else was too. Something pretty strange went into that performance.I like him. I didn't see Saturdays game of course but I think he's a very classy player. Again, up to the manager to get the best from him.

Personally I'm happy with any of these 4 making up the midfield Torp Sheaf Eccles Rudoni. For me Palmer and Allen are the weak links.
Why on earth is that 'clear'!It's clear that Robins sets the team up to peak later in the season...
It’s such a shame he’s right footed.He's got more ability in his left little toe than Allen and Eccles. Robins will get him going.
