Second worst start in 10 years

I'm not calling for his head, but Robins is living on his reputation here

[Sick Boy]

The only positives were Simms and Wright.

 

[stupot07]

Decent flurry in the last 10 but it's easy to play at 3-1 down with nothing to lose.

If anything else hopefully today shows robins and the teams what it's like to attack again.

Maybe we keep this formation maybe we don't but I hope we can at least start showing intent to score from minute one from now onwards.

100% agree.

4-3-3 worked a hundred times better. Shore it up at the back, drop Fadz, bring Bidwell in, and stick the the 3 up front. It was so much more positive.

 

[Alan Dugdales Moustache]

We can still make the playoffs

 

[SkyblueTexan]

A point a game is that enough to keep us up?

We’re not going get any more points the rest of the season

 

[Matt smith]

We’ve had some good times

this is really bad though

We have to beat stoke next week

5 on the spin and robins should be under pressure

Sorry for being overly negative SBT, just getting to me at the moment

safe trip home to each and every fan there today!!

Maybe people that wanted 4 atb are onto something really .. has to be an option now , much better second half but there's some terrible individual errors that keep costing us .

Da silva dire , Thomas dire ,Latibeaudier is not a RB

Wilson time to rest please , and fadz

Hope the penny has dropped and he sticks with it, see if we show some improvement. Literally all I can cling on to.

Robins is using up all his jokers

 

[Earlsdon_Skyblue1]

I rescind that actually, we've looked better as the games gone on. May be the system fits the players we have available.

Fair play.

I've wanted to see this for a while and having seen it I think there is something there to play with. They need to start working on this kind of 4-3-3, and some players he's been benching should be starting.

 

[Evo1883]

I personally think Thomas attitude on the pitch is diabolical , his obsession with blaming everybody but himself , and the I'm it attitude he's displaying fuxked me off massively today

 

[David O'Day]

This place is gonna get toxic so it'll leave you to it with this

A absolutely unacceptable first half cost us, looked decent enough in the 2nd apart from from 1 schoolboy moment

Need to try a back 4 next game and bidwell needs to play at lb, I like dasilva but he looks shot at the moment

 

[Alan Dugdales Moustache]

Hajis stats read like an Opta tweet

Haji Wright for Coventry City
4 goals, 4 rebounds
Poacher.

A modern day Micky Quinn

Hopefully, Robins will take stock of second half performance. Bidwell has to start. Leagues above Da Silva. We don't have the players to play wingbacks.

Yeah I've noticed that as well.

Robins taxi finally here

 

[pusbccfc]

Huge rendition of PUSB at the end. Need the fight and heart from fans and players. As a club, we are up against it once again. We need to stick together.

 

[shmmeee]

Much better with the formation change. Actually having options ahead of you and pace down the channels works, whodathunk?

Sort the back four and GK out and there’s a team there. Didn’t expect to win today but thought we were unlucky. Barring defensive fuck ups we’d have been OK.

Next game:

Collins
Lats Thomas Binks Bidwell
Sheaf Ayari Eccles
Saka Simms Wright

Let’s see how it gets on.

 

[PVA]

We certainly looked more threatening with the formation change, I think Robins has almost no choice but to start with it next week.

Simms and Wright were good, Eccles made a big difference.

It's time Fadz was dropped.

 

[SKYBLUES90]

Stoke really is a must win. Serious questions will be asked if we lose 5 on the bounce, not good enough with the money that has been spent.

Players need to show up next week.

 

[Evo1883]

No, we should stick together

 

[Garlana86]

Better second half, but the game is two. Can’t keep a clean sheet for love nor money

Thing is, it's always easy to be better on the ball when the opposition sits back and lets us have the ball while they cling onto their lead. First half they made us look poor.

 

[ptr]

Birdwell has been a big improvement on JDS

Been poorly treated in my opinion. Solid pro who knows his role - defend first, get up and support second. Said if for a while but JDS is no upgrade despite some people thinking he’s class.

 

[BackRoomRummermill]

we were at Wembley and a kick away

 

[Cov98]

If we start with this team against Stoke but with Binks and Thomas as CB's, we can get a result.

I really don't want to see Ayari in a city shirt again.

Looked a lot better second half then gave away another awful goal. No denial now it’s all about survival this season.

The front 3 is bang on for sure. Think we cause problems with that.

No manager is immune to criticism, even Robins who's been elite for us needs to be put under pressure when things are dire.

 

[Matt smith]

Lati Kitching binks ffs robins if you’re gonna go 3

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

No, we should stick together

How many do we need to lose in a row for you to accept this is a battle to stay up?

 

[PVA]

I'd like to see...

Sheaf - Eccles

Sakamoto - Allen - Simms

Wright​

As the front six for Stoke (assuming that O'Hare is not yet ready to start).

 

[Sick Boy]

we were at Wembley and a kick away

We were a kick away from another Luton penalty.
