This is a good point. McNally?

We let in so many goals, some of them are bound to be flukes.

“There ain’t no pleasing you” might be more apt.

Free thinking and choice are all very good. As long as it’s extended to all sides. As for supporting Chelsea I’ve always thought it was a bit like being a fan of WWE. It’s fine for kids but embarrassing for a grown up. 😉

He did really well to get into position but he missed the ball. It hit his shin. Def his goal though.

Definitely. Behind the goal, I was convinced it was Eccles’ goal despite Bassette’s air shot and didn’t even notice Bassette celebrating. At half time I saw the footage on the concourse and it had to admit that it clearly struck Bassette’s shin pad on the way in.

I have no idea. Was mentioned by someone apparently more ITK than me (tbf that could be anyone)

Er, pretty much yep.

The reaction to the likely installation of Lampard tells you exactly why we won’t have him in charge officially until the Cardiff game. Sheff United and Burnley are two fixtures where the odds are against us. Lampard's honeymoon period is likely to be short and a defeat in either with him at...

Yep to all of this. Was one of the many reasons I was surprised to see on here last week that Robibs had been interviewed for - and failed to get - the manager’s position at Stoke in 2022

Was Guz Khan doing another tour?

Cool story. What was he doing ?

I suspect you’re right (and there have been mentions in the press that Lampard was keen to secure this if he came to us) but to my ears that was not how King explained the difference between a manager and Head Coach a week ago.

Yes Robins did. It would make sense to replace like for like but they did outline the difference between a head coach and manager in terms of player development and improvement rather than recruitment which wd be a SD’s role.

1. I was shocked but not surprised by the Robins sacking. Tbh the timing of it seemed weird and after wins vs Luton and Middlesbrough it seemed that the owner’s itchy finger was going to be exercised after the next defeat wherever it was. 2. I thought that King’s defence of his position at the...

He wasn’t sacked. He left Everton to return to Real Madrid.

Ancelloti had Everton finish 12th and 10th. That’s far from failure.

Yep I can see this point too. If they did well enough to be offered a “better” job - we would be in a pretty good place. Doug King might be off at the same point I suppose and never forget that Jimmy Hill took us to the promised land and promptly left for a job in tv. I suspect Turner meant...

I honestly thought it wasn’t - like the Triple S version of 1986-7 (until FMC did a replica) but happy to wirhdraw if you’re certain.

CT article on same thing (for those who can’t use FB links) https://www.coventrytelegraph.net/sport/football/football-news/coventry-doug-king-new-manager-30374084 Turner explains why in his view Lampard and RvN are non-starters (would only see us as a stepping stone at club level) whereas...
