Get some perspective. We have had a bad run or 3 defeats. Teams do that. We have got vital players out sick and some injured.
Our captain is missing.
We have one eye on a glory game to focus on at the week end.
Stokes has not looked good since he got back in the side. Haynes offers more going forward. Reid should have started.
After Saturday we should be able to pick our stronger side.
7th is a play off position. I'd back us over two legs with a big crowed up the Ricoh.
It's still very doable. What's the betting we get good results in our next 3?
Robin's needs to take risk when we are on the front foot and freshen it up.
Pontichelli needs a chance. We need to play it on the floor.
Now we will see what everyone including the manager is made of.
I'm rubbing my hands at the prospect.

Cliche, but being a Coventry fan has to be the absolute worst.
It doesn’t help that I’m slowly starting to lose the faith I had in Robins somewhat. His continuous lack of strategy or tactics is infuriating.

No suicide mob. Just people that believe that 9 points off automatic promotion is unacceptable for a club with the resources that we have, compared to other clubs in our division.

Maybe the type of player we need but not the player we need. Like I say, mediocre last time and about 4 years older, not match fit and carrying a knock.
It would take him the 14 games to get him up to speed....

Baker isn’t the answer to our problems. He shouldn’t be offered a contract anyway with 14 games to go as he hasn’t played all year.

About what you clown? I'm here win, lose or draw. Not just after a loss you fucking nugget.

I see his powers of observation are undiminished by this defeat.

He's had plenty of chance this season. Even when we've been winning games the tactics to me have never felt right. We only have one tactic and when it doesn't work we have nowhere to go.

Shouldn't be blaming the players. Tactics have been wrong all year.

I have a gut feeling he’ll resign especially if we get a trouncing at Brighton. Just don’t think the players are with him and his tactics

Why do you use up the extra time minutes by doing a substitution? for fuck sake as soon as they scored he should have bought Reid on before the kick off. Or am I being stupid thinking this?
Nick

He should have brought Reid on 20 minutes before that.

Is there another club in England who no matter what league they’re in still can’t mount and maintain a promotion push?
How low do we have to fall before we actually finish near the top of a league?

Can someone please quote 8th best budget?
We’ve just paid £125k to loan a striker. How many other league two teams can do that?

That was hard to take. First half was abysmal. Second half gradually picked up. Once we equalised only looked like one winner then shit defending by stokes and we leave with fuck all.

Robins stubborn with subs and never pro active. Why bring Reid on the 90th min?
Kelly is shocking. We sell Stevenson who bosses midfield and keep Kelly who is woeful. Never looks forward and gives the ball away all the time. Robins has his favourites and he’s one of them
Now for a 2 and half hour journey. Depressing being a city fan. And shout out to Raff’s coach who never made the game due to traffic. I wish we were stuck too.

A down turn in results due to injury and illness always happens at some point in the season but this is why we needed to build up a cushion earlier in the season while players were still fit and the pitches good. Instead we were trying to nick 1-0s at teams we could have been thumping - dropping points by being negative and only trying to win games in the 2nd half. 3 first half away goals in 16 games - that kind of cautiousness is asking for trouble. Anyone still chuffed to have the best defence in the league?

Nonthr players are dping dumb shit
He csnt tske blame for backpasses and reluctance to run st man and cross in danger areas
The players are being pussies

The "can't rest on our laurels" comment is interesting from a manager who waits until the 90th minute to make an attacking substitution.

I know it happens because Notts County just drew 1 anf lost 3 on the trot because of the injuries they sustained and as you see they are getting their players back now and won tonight. I think MR needs to play JCH from the off as I saw him cause the back line some issues when he came on

Been exactly my argument all season. Do any of us honestly believe if we got to the playoffs we would win through?
More than likely be the Accrington scenario all over again. I have absolutely no faith that we would rise to the occasion. We are out-muscled and out-thought too often and it was exactly the same in League One.

Someone also phoned in to say we overpass it all the time.
Wonder when the last time it was that he went to a game? If anything we are lumping it up far too early.

It's hardly "season over" though is it. 3 points from play-offs, 14 regular season games to go. Even if we get play-offs but don't go up, that's not "season over". Promotion isn't the "be all and end all" this time

Next season the core 7,000 fans at home games will be down to 5,000 if we fail to get promotion. It’s extremely worrying, it’s okay losing the floaters but once you start losing the hardcore support the football clubs in serious trouble

Cracking reposte. It must have taken your solitary brain cell all night to come up with that gem. Well done.
