LIVE: Mark Robins speaks ahead of opening League Two clash

Robins said: “The season can’t come around quick enough.

“We’re looking forward to it.

“The new players will be fine. They’ve been there and done it before. The likes of the signings we’ve made – they’re all intelligent players.

“We’re in good shape. It’s a well balanced squad.

“The lads have come in from day one and hit the ground running. They’ve enjoyed it, the hard work.

“They’re high fiving each other at the end. Pre-season is all about getting fitness levels up.”

Good start

“It’s about performance, work rate, and performance. If we get those things right the result takes care of itself.

“The lads are ready. We’d like to win it. Everyone in the league has the same aim.

“When a team is ready to get promoted they get promoted.

“We need to be challenging. Nobody wants Coventry City in League Two but that’s the reality at the moment.

“There will be ups and downs – that’s the nature of the season.

“There’s some real talent.”

Academy

“Our academy graduates have done well. We’ve got to help them get to the level where they’re knocking on the door to get into the first team.”

Transfers

“It could be an interesting 24 hours. We could add one or two before the next league game.”

George Thomas

“It’s dragged on. We want it to be put to bed so everyone can move forward. We’re waiting on a final decision.

“Nothing is delaying it- the usual stuff. Though it could’ve been done more swiftly.”

Last minute swoop for Neymar?

Welcome home Carl Baker :banghead:

 

[Cavan O'Doherty]

Welcome home Carl Baker :banghead:

Would take that!

 

[RoboCCFC90]

I wonder if there is anything to read into the fact that the press conference is at the Ricoh Arena as opposed to Ryton?

 

[hill83]

Would take that!

I guess now it's time for me to give up
I feel it's time
Got a picture of you beside me
Got your lipstick mark still on your coffee cup
Oh yeah
Got fist of pure emotion
Got a head of shattered dreams
Gotta leave it, gotta leave it all behind now
Whatever I said, whatever I did,
I didn't mean it
I just want you back for good
(Want you back, want you back, want you back for good)

 

[Bertola]

I wonder if there is anything to read into the fact that the press conference is at the Ricoh Arena as opposed to Ryton?

Doubt it, I think it was just because they had the team photo there today

 

[Liquid Gold]

We just need to pledge to buy 5 avon products each if #Bakes comes back. Could swing the deal.

Stan is more appropriate

Double meaning jokes can be tricky to understand sometimes. Have a sit down and a cheese sandwich and you'll be fine.

 

[covcity4life]

next league game could mean grimsby rather than tomorrow upcoming league game. eitherway i PRAY we get our targets

The observer have said that he expects arrivals before the season opener.

 

[Nick]

Shouldn't have said that, I'm going to be waiting tomorrow

Not sure, was thinking about it being linked to a new signing, but then we've unveiled all of the other ones at Ryton...

 

[Cavan O'Doherty]

I hope it's a striker!

 

[CCFC_Charlie]

I wonder if there is anything to read into the fact that the press conference is at the Ricoh Arena as opposed to Ryton?

I assume it's because they did the team photo there today as well, however I don't think we've been allowed to take it there in recent years so who knows.

 

[Cavan O'Doherty]

It'll probably be Pearson so don't get your hopes up.

 

[Liquid Gold]

I hope it's two. One in the morning with a teaser to say expect more news later then we can waste Friday at work on SBT trying to figure out who it is.

 

[Otis]

Thought we were all hoping we WOULD sign Pearason weren't we?

 

[Cavan O'Doherty]

Thought we were all hoping we WOULD sign Pearason weren't we?

I didn't mean it like that. Just meant that it wouldn't be worth getting excited about, as we already know he most likely is going to get a deal.

 

[Otis]

Well I'm excited.

I am easily pleased though.

 

[Great_Expectations]

I hope it's two. One in the morning with a teaser to say expect more news later then we can waste Friday at work on SBT trying to figure out who it is.

Especially if the morning announcement is Pearson, so the second signing really will be a surprise and we can spend even longer speculating!

 

[Cavan O'Doherty]

Or we don't sign anyone and call for Robins to be sacked.

 

[Liquid Gold]

Or we don't sign anyone and call for Robins to be sacked.

Nah don't worry we can blame it on sisu. Remember good things = manager. Bad things = owner.

 

[Cavan O'Doherty]

This is probably a result of Turnbull going out on loan. Freeing up wages for other signings. That's why we haven't heard anything in a while up until today.

 

[covcity4life]

thank you turnbull. mowbray still helping us.amazing
