Nearly every single caller on cwr-praise bigi

Stuart linell - praise bigi

Geoff foster- bigi immense

Mark robins - bigi very very good

Grendel - bigi average

Mark Robins only said he "played well today" and on reflection of his performances in Mark Robins time here "very very good" tho cited Bigi as the issue for playing silly short balls and his decision making at times today.
To me that's his biggest issue and consistently. Him and Turnbull at times together were dangerous and invited most out trouble.

Very good today and very very good in my tine here. Soooooo exactly what i wrote? You have tried to put anegstive spin on it weirdly. Let his words speak for themselves.

And robins was bang on. Hes a brilliant player who sometimes makes wrong decision. Smething most cov fans would agree with. Bit hes.making less and less mistakes and is 1 of our best players right now. I dont agree about him inviting danger today. Only remmeber 1 or 2 momwnts near edge of box today. Rest he didnt put foot wrong.

I dont know if robins will keep him but personally i hope he does.

P.s jist 1 slade player in team today so there goes the myth robins only won cos slade bought players in the window. Squad was never relegation fodder.

Your boring...Back on to your favourite topic again.... and typically get it all wrong. Who even mentioned a theory that it's RS players that are only why he won. It's a unhealthy thing you got going on for RS.
Ps I just highlighted your miss quote about your new pin up who you clearly didn't see earlier in the season when he was piss poor weekly.
Yes he's looking more composed under Mark Robins and is cutting out the errors but even Robins said he was at fault for heart in mouth moments.

I have always said bigi is a good player. Everyone has been in poor form this season becauew of venus and slade.

And robins said geart in your mouth moments. He didnt say he actually made any mistakes today. Did u gonto the game? Bigi won ball back so many times today. His passing and ball control were sublime oh and yet another clearence of line! Give him his props.

And you and others have always brought up amount of slade signings in a team loneup when robins wins as if its a slight on mowbray. Well that is over. No more arguments plz.

..... because of Venus and Slade... we must of been flying them first 10 games while TM was in charge then, makes me wonder why he opted to leave a flying team!
I've even said Bigi played ok today was one of our better players but was not his best game. Bigi is like marmite love him or hate him. I'm open minded on him and believe there is a "player" in him if he can do it 4 out of 5 games not 2.
And yes I've not missed a home game since there return, so I've seen plenty of this season thanks

 

[covcity4life]

So you would know hes been very good for the 4 or 5 games.

And first 10 is a small minority of the season. The truly poor performances came after. But i have said tm left us in lurch by quitting.

Anyway on a different note what did u think of foley? Inthought he was v good but it looks like its hard to get a high octane 90mins out of him? Hes gone off a few times recently? Maybe we shud look elsewhere for a rb to go with dke in squad?

10 games is used widely as the bench Mark for the season tho and 30 points played for. We was the worst in the league, tho like you say it got a lot worse as time went on.
Onto Foley. I thought he looked ok today, one of his better games. Seemed to do the right things and found himself in goal scoring opportunities bizarrely. I think he'd be a useful squad player in league two as he can play RB and DM.
Robins does seem to like a more solid back 4 of more robust defenders with one progressive player in Haynes at times.
Plenty of decisions to be made for the retained list in a few weeks.

Yeah thomas shoukd have passed to him in box instead of reverse pass to tudgay who had little space.

Story of our season tho, scared to shoot and a lack of bodies to be seen in the box to look for the pass

Lack of bodies for crosses really needs to be sorted for next season. Strikers always out of box and in box are players who just jump to look thr part it feels like lol

I thought Foley played well today. However, when DKE came on I thought he was great apart from one Mis-placed pass. So much energy and will to win. Really gets stuck in. I hope he is given his chance next season.

The rumour is that he's being released so he will get given a chance next season but probably not at CCFC

DKE is being released?

 

[ccfchoi87]

DKE is being released?

Apparently so if you listen to rumours

 

[wingy]

Shame if true.
Good luck to the lad if so.

 

[Terry Gibson's perm]

Can't imagine his brother would be kept on either then.

 

[clint van damme]

that can't be true!! He's one of our best players!

 

[wingy]

It depends what team you want to build to try and get back up Clint
No doubt the boys talented with a massive heart, but Robins hasn't really gone for him.

You're right, Robins needs to do what's best to mount a promotion push next season but it would be a shame to see him go.

Can't see why he would let him go. He impresses every time he plays.

 

[wingy]

Well let's hope it's false conjecture then.

 

[torchomatic]

It won't be true. Betcha.

 

[stupot07]

That crunching sliding tackle he did in the box, was a thing of beauty. I'll be gutted if we release him, he may be small but has the heart of a lion.

If more had put as much effort in as him this season we wouldn't be heading to L2!

Nothing to do with the players...player management is the clue to success, and Venus and Slade had none!!! Robins could make a success of most teams in my opinion, given the time, which is why I'm extremely hopeful for next season and beyond!!

Yup. Yhe squad is not as good as last season granted but is not the worst in league either. Shud have been mid table at worse. Even when we lost no1 left the ground thibkijg the opposition were brilliant.

 

[shmmeee]

Would be sad to see DKE go, but it does seem like Robins prefers a more.... solid, full back.

 

[Gaz71]

I think it's just his size, teams that play against us with big forwards target him, especially on corners even though he wins lots of headers, I think he's always done well in a City shirt and loves the club but get the feeling Robins feels differently about him.

I think if it's true it's about the shape of the test ahead,and the format of bruising football were going to face.
We could and do argue that he has all the spirit /athleticism required, tough call for the manager to make.
Might even be down to a simple decision to build age and experience of the squad.

 

[Warwickhunt]

DKE is being released?

I heard a rumour that the club have made an offer to the Kelly Evan twins of £300 per week with add ons ! Which basically means if they sign for another club CCFC will be paid some wonga .The source was suppose to know their father

 

[SkyBlue_Bear83]

I don't get the opinion from some that robins doesn't fancy/rate DKE.

I think he's just protecting a young and inexperienced players and easing him in slowly.

He singled him out for praise earlier this season too

I thought for a club to get a tribunal fee for a player they had to offer their current salary or more?

Surely they're on more than £300 a week!?
