    Strictly speaking only promotion would be an improvement on last season as we went all the way to penalties last season. But you can also pit this against our run in the FA Cup where we should at least reach the QF. But we're in a different scenario this time. Last season it was the only way of...

    Transfer Rumour Ellis Simms

    His celebration the game before wasn't a good look. Maybe Robins had a word with him. This goal he went to us and made gestures for us to get behind the side. I'm much happier with that.

    Simms

    Not changing my views at all. I've said the same about every new signing. Give them a run in the side. This isn't just a few minutes here and a few minutes there. I've never had a go at Simms. He is a young striker learning his trade. But I've had countless 'debates' on here with people who...

    What are you going on about? You make it sound as though we should respect supporters of better clubs but be nasty to the supporters of clubs below us.

    You can have my whole wife even if we lose to Maidstone and miss out on the playoffs.

    In the last interview Robins did he actually said having a large squad of 30 players can be a help but also a hindrance. That's not him saying he is pissed off we have a small squad compared to some others. We've gone for quality over quantity. Would he have said no to getting what has been a...

    As usual this has gone from one extreme to another 😁 Saying don't take beating Maidstone for granted and don't put out a fully reserve side isn't saying they are a good side compared to ourselves. But they can be dangerous on the break. The goals they got against Ipswich were very well taken...

    Why treat people with disrespect when they're not disrespectful to yourself?

    House renovations

    I hate soil pipes 😆 As I said before both sides of the house are on different levels. Took the soil pipe from the loft conversion through the wall to the other side of the house. There used to be a toilet in a small room on the ground floor. The soil pipe was there and all ready for me to...

    Ellis is big dog now

    Nothing wrong with his work rate. If he ran around like a headless chicken he would be knackered by HT. But he harries the defenders and also helps out in defence. He is still young and has a bit to learn. But even his doubters have now noticed there is a player in him.

    Video Mark Robins and Ellis Simms discuss Coventry City's win against Stoke City 🎙️

    Spot on Robins. You see the comments on here like work all week then play football at weekends for fun. It's difficult to keep up a high fitness level without taking it a bit too far. Then you have the constant travelling hundreds of miles and expect to be fresh. A little bit of confidence...

    Championship out of contract players June 2024

    The only put of contract player I'd be interested in is O'Hare. The list is players who will be after a Prem side/Prem wages or players not good enough to take us forward. The Championship isn't the level we will be looking at to buy players either. Those good enough will come with hefty price...

    Ellis is big dog now

    There's no way Robins won't give him a run in the side now. It's hard for a player to only get bits of games and perform. All we can ask is that everyone doesn't get on his back again the next time he has a below par game because he will at some time. If Wright and Simms both hit form together...

    Finishing 6th - Nooo!

    I'd take 6th place right now. The playoffs are a different animal. They're a game leveller. We've done OK against the top sides this season. Some thought I had lost my marbles (if I ever had them) last season when I said we would get top 6 then would beat Middlesbrough and that Luton had the...

    Stoke have paid a lot of money for their players but they haven't got anyone up front. It seemed like they played 4 6 0 with a high press and flooded the midfield. 13 shots but only 1 on target and that was straight at Wilson.

    Taxi for Robins that lasted a few years? I've taken a lot of shite from people like yourself for pointing out ludicrous comments about Simms. It's easy for ne to notice those that have now gone AWOL. You still won't admit Robins is a very good manager so I only expect snide remarks from you on...

    There's a bit of a difference between saying he didn't have a good game and making comments like he didn't break out into a sweat. Not seen anyone say he had a decent game.

    I was just thinking that the only thing missing from this win is all of those always having a go at Simms saying how shite he is and making out he has had a run in the side.
