There we go our cup run would have likely come to an end in the second round anyway. Let Wimbledon have the pay day, we are minted anyway now.

Anyone got Robins comments after the game?

Said he's worried how long Doug will give him

 

[Greggs]

Because they wanted instant success at this level that generally never happens.
Good job we held on.

No that’s why I’m not making stupid patronising comments it doesn’t matter - it clearly does if you’ve made an effort to attend a game and clearly it’s going to piss off anyone who went

I was there and not pissed off at all. We looked sublime at times with Saka and then later Palmer. Should have won easlily but not worried about going out of this comp. We go again on Saturday with a highly talented squad - going to be an enjoyable season.

Chelsea away.

What an opportunity that would have been with 7000 Coventry behind the goal. So annoying

who missed the majority of the chances, was it evenly split amongst the strikers?

Ffs made the effort to get there and we capitulate again. 2 more goals conceded late on to go with the 2 Sunday. Only playing 4 pre season games means we’re under cooked. On to Saturday!

Deadly Doug

 

[pusbccfc]

Nothing wrong with that but catastrophising the whole season over the first few games is a joke.

Who is?

 

[GaryJones]

What did MR say after that shit show?

 

[Earlsdon_Skyblue1]

Godden today with the fingers in the ears is embarrassing. Most of the fans have been well behind him and he just signed a new contract in the last 24 hours. No need.

Scores a penalty which wasn't even that convincing and then is part or a strike force that fail to best lower league gash.

I know it is kind of funny but I'm also actually pissed off a bit. Won't even let me post the Simpsons riot GIF either, which has made it worse. FFS.

Not according to the bookies. Top 6 odds -

We’ve spent the second most in the league, if we finish 13th, aka where the bookies have us, it would be very poor.

Stop talking sense so Greggs can have his meltdown.

It was an even mix, I would say Simms guilty of the biggest miss.

I could understand that argument if our spending wasn't to replace a £20m player.

 

[Ccfcisparks]

People writing off Wright on twitter now. The bloke hasn't been in the door a week, and he won us the penalty tonight!

 

[Skyblue54]

Would have been away to chelsea!!

 

[Martin180]

Chelsea away.

What an opportunity that would have been with 7000 Coventry behind the goal. So annoying

And with the amount of home fans there would be about 15,000 in the ground

 

[pusbccfc]

Just seen the Simms miss/save...

Chelsea would have sold out easily.

Lock away anything sharp while you can

 

[Great_Expectations]

Surprisingly more frustrated than expected.

I don’t particularly care about the cup (although a cup run would have been good for various reasons), but that was a strong team out tonight with players who should be wanting to stake a claim.

Great we created chances, but we missed them again. Plus we conceded two sloppy goals.

We’ll come good as before and we have an exciting season ahead.

But after improving the overall quality of the squad and spending some serious money, I hoped the days of being a “scalp” were behind us.

He flapped two pretty good chances not long after but his fellow strikers were even more guilty. Pretty infuriating that it’s cost us a great tie next round too.

 

[HuckerbyDublinWhelan]

Just to clarify - I’m not actually saying robins should be sacked. I’m asking are we allowed a 10 game winless streak again? Im guessing he expects top 6 - and whilst we did it last season - 5th with that points total is an anomaly.

so far - we seem to bogged down with similar on pitch issues we had in the first 10 last season - but we obviously had the excuses I’ve listed above to bat it off

 

[David O'Day]

Would have got Chelsea away if we weren’t total bottlejobs.

thank fuck

 

[SkyBlueMatt]

Chelsea away. At least we don't have to have the argument about points.

First good draw in years and we miss out.

He hasn’t handed MR a 4 year contract just to sack him after 10 games

 

[skyblu3sk]

Who is?

Probably the usual characters.

What on earth are you babbling about ?

Yeah it’s best not to do that

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Would have won 3-0 with Tavares and Ponticelli uptop.

Clive Platt stretching the defence for the full 90

 

[ccfc1234]

Would be nice to actually have a cup run for once.

A draw at home to Chelsea or Tottenham would have been a good financial reward or a trip away would be good for the fans.

Just don't understand why we are so poor in the cup under Robins.

I think since his return when we were in league 2 he has really focused on the league. Anyone know our best cup run under Robins?

Yeah take out Vik and what were we last season? Mid table at best?
