Nigel on Saturday, Dan tonight. Oh CWR, you spoil us.

Eight points doesn't sound like a lot, but it is a huge deficit at this point in the season. Even if CCFC won 11 out of 13 games for an improbable 2.5+ points per game, a team like Doncaster would only need to average 1.78 points per game to match us - and they're averaging 1.81 for the season.

"Oi, we is entitled to our opinion!" Such a miserable, hackneyed argument. We do have a democracy, and he is free to support whichever party he likes without fear of legal recrimination. So don't argue against a false position - it is weak.

He is fascist scum and should not be associated with Coventry.

Steady on!

Robins seemed like a capable manager. Mind you, he should have done well with the squad that he had. I certainly don't feel like we have lost The Special One.

I'll bet they will at least send out a feeler to Eric Black. It would be a canny move. He is unemployed, lives locally, has a managerial track record (so no Thorn v.2), and has been on their radar before. But more importantly for SISU, it would be a strong PR move while these acrimonious...

It is just such a shame we effectively sacrificed 17% of our season (three points from the first eight games). To give some idea of what a difference-maker that was: if we had scored the same average of points for those first eight games as we have for the rest of the season, then Coventry...

I think that is about right. Taking a quick look through the seasons where 6th spot had a high points total (78+), there's a rough pattern of those teams having early-mid 50s points by this stage in the season. Swindon currently have 55 points. I suspect the required points total will be...

...a better job. That is a smokescreen.

Please stop comparing the role and responsibility of a football manager to that of the average office job. It is not at all comparable.

There is nothing wrong with hope. But all the hope in the world doesn't alter the probability of things.

No, that is not 'it'. I clarified that in my first response to you. Read the post above yours. Rational analysis. It may be a 'defeatist analysis' (as you are so desperate to attach an emotional label to basic math), but I remain optimistic about the future. As ever. Undeniably...

To elaborate on why this is very unlikely... 1. Over the past couple of decades, 74 points or fewer has been good for a playoff spot around 25% of the time. So generally speaking, we have a 1 in 4 chance of your points goal being the threshold. 2. Yes, CCFC have got 27 points in the last 14...

The Blitz that took place 72 years ago and didn't involve 99.99% of the people currently alive and from the city? You continue to confuse criticism with weakness. It is plausible to criticise the city because people have love for it and wish for it to improve in any number of aspects...

My claim of defeatism was much more general than that. The dictionary definition of defeatism is 'demonstrating expectation or acceptance of failure'. Sums Coventry up to a tee. A fair chance? The team has a nominal chance at best. That is not based on gut instinct, but the facts of history...

Johnson did turn down a Yeovil-to-Coventry move before. Besides which, it is unlikely the club would pay compensation to acquire a new manager. Unemployed managers and coaches, or internal candidates like Rioch and Carsley, are much more likely.

Reverse that statement and you have it - minus the 'false' part. Defeatist mindset right there. You do not need to 'jump up and down with indignation' to be peeved that a manager has chosen to walk five months into a three year contract.

If Robins had been sacked, you'd have put the boot in. Robins breaks his commitment to the club to walk to a better-paid job, and you still put the boot in. It is clear by now that there are no negative circumstances for which you will not blame SISU - and you say they have lost credibility?

You might be thinking about Adam Dent there.
