Humble pie (4 Viewers)

[COV]

Then again, Cantwell didn’t win trophies but he took us into Europe. Could also be argued to be more successful than Robins and Hill

true- I don’t think you could put him above hill though as he literally transformed the entire club. Cantwell said he was ‘haunted by the ghost of Jimmy Hill’ at HR, but he did at least inherit a boom club getting 35,000 every game and a generous chairman.

Hmmm….the season’s only a few games old plus we’ve beaten Forest,who have looked poor for over a season now,and newly promoted Blackpool
It‘s definitely an encouraging start but let’s not get carried away after just 3 games

 

[Cov kid 55]

kind of sums it up- one minute he’s written off as hopeless, the next it’s the best performance in years. Clueless knee jerk stuff, one extreme to the other.

and that last one has to be Saddlebrains- he always says that- “let’s be honest”

And to be fair, when the ‘let’s be honest’ post was made, a number of posters jumped in and said ‘I would care if he was sold’. Gyokeres did have a small number of supporters last season.

The biggest humble pie should be to those fans who fear the worst when we lose pre season friendlies!!!

Robins for me.

How many managers have had so many things to contend with yet achieve more than expected most seasons? How many managers have managed a top 5 finish? And Robins managed it without even playing a proper home game all season.

Thought Sheaf was gonna struggle and we needed an old boof head like James. I was wrong. Great player.

For me the biggest steal this season has been Moore.
so much more reassured and oozes confidence in the box when crosses come in.
really made a difference to the team this season

took that cross in the 95th minute, was very refreshing

Massive upgrade in the most important position

Another Robins masterstroke

 

[Greggs]

Fuck it, while i'm at it. I thought Robins wasn't good enough tactically for the championship. To be fair i was judging him from his times at shitholes like Huddersfield and @Barnsley.

 

[Londonccfcfan]

The thread for those to reflect on rash, negative posts that they have made this season about the players and Robins. Feel free to confess your sins or allow others to nominate you.

ill start by nominating Grendel wanting Robins replaced by Jacket. Feel free Grendel to admit the error of your ways

Last 12 games in championship. Won 8.

Won 8
Drew 1
Lost 3
25 points.

Whilst I haven't voiced it on here, a I also thought Allen was not good enough. It's only one game, but he certainly showed enough for me to reconsider

Edit: two games

 

[Saddlebrains]

Jamie Allen.

Looks every bit a championship player at the moment and i wanted him shipped out. Fair play to him.

Still stick by wanting Jobello, Hillsner, Shipley and Drysdale off the books though

Not sure what's happened with Drysdale? Seemed highly thought of again, but didn't seem great in preseason. I guess he's still young, but doesn't seem to have progressed enough. I'd give him another loan if we can find a suitable one then make a decision on him at the end of the season. That said, if the feeling is that he isn't going to make it, maybe best to save the wages where we can.

Agree with the others. I don't know why, but I get the feeling that Shipley has rested on his laurels a little having established himself a little in league 1, where he really needed to kick on (particularly with his fitness levels)

He's looked shite every time I've seen him. Received pelters when I mentioned it too. People making out that he's the second coming of Baresi.

Drysdale isn’t good enough

 

[fatso]

Drysdale isn’t good enough

Agreed, he's not actually that young either now, he's the same age as Ostigard which shows you how far behind he is in terms of his development.
For my money he needs to be moved on, along with Jobello, Hilsner, Pask and Shipley. That would give some of the other young lads a route into the first team squad as well as freeing up some wages.

Me after freaking out about signing Gyokeres in the summer and seeing him play in the flesh for the first time:

(Although I’ve seen better attempts at rounding the keeper)

 

[CDK]

Two things,robins,adams.robins for what he's won trophy wise .
Also wondered when max biamou would get dragged into yet another topic.

 

[Greggs]

@Marty Gyokores?

@Marty Gyokores?

Fuck off will ya, was hoping everyone was gonna forgot that.

 

[Blind-Faith]

I’ll take a slice of the pie tonight. Jamie Allen is looking a different player this season. Quite happily proven wrong

No chance, the internet is forever. No 'clear browsing data' is going to wipe the shit off your face haha

Yep, same here.

I can't quite believe how good he was today, didn't think he had it in him, fair fucks to him.

 

[Northants Sky Blue]

Just a quick order for 3 slices please -

1) Yok - who is this Hucks+Dele+Juke monster!? Let's get this lad's song sorted a.s.a.p
2) Allen - wtf has happened here, seriously

3) City supporters - was expecting c.14k home fans if mid-table. The team's stepped up and so has the crowd in size and volume. We've brought the Meadow Lane vibes to the Ricoh
