I have it on good authority that they're now members and that the club has now stopped enrolling new members
A classic case of shutting the barn door after the horse has bolted.
There's a picture on Facebook of the two mad hatters at the Leamington and Warwick supporters club on the same night I think, having their picture took MVE and Binks.

So you don't have to live in Leamington and Warwick then to be a member.
So if they've stopped locals enrolling I think I'd be pretty pissed off.
Exactly. Very daft to ask what other fans do of other clubs, because manager tenures on the whole, are very short. Hardly any long serving managers about.Ofcourse other fans behave like this to succesful long standing managers even if their time was up.
It doesn't happen often because most managers are in and out in under 2 seasons with little achieved.
Which makes your aversion to Robins (which hasn't been confined to the downturn in results this year) all the stranger.I supported the team for 29 seasons in the top flight so not really
Thinking he 'deserved to be sacked' but overall did an incredible job worthy of warm reception on his return aren't necessarily mutually exclusive standpoints, either.He deserved to be sacked. Do other fans behave like this - I just think it’s odd.

Well with that attitude, what's the point in anything? The Jimmy Hill statue - he's gone and is irrelevant to our future.
You would rather nail your balls to a wall than admit Robins was brilliant for us for seven years.I don’t get the applause at all. He’s gone and is irrelevant to our future.
I may be wrong but I can’t remember any applause for Gordon Milne when he returned with Leicester
He got them promoted didn't he after getting relegated first possibly from the inherited squad etc and managed Bezitkas or somewhere and I think managed successfully and is revered over there?Yep, basically the same circumstances ain’t it. Apart from over 40 years ago. And Leicester. And y

Looks like this might be the first game everyone’s available for selection. I imagine Haji will be on the bench next week.
Let’s pretend it is. What would you go? I think for at least one game we’ve got to try Wright on the right.
Dovin
MvE Thomas Kitching Bidwell
Sheaf Grimes
Wright Rudoni EMC
Simms
S: Collins, Lats, Dasilva, Binks, Eccles, Torp, Paterson, Saka, BTA
Strong team with a strong bench. Keep that fit for the last 10 games and we’ll give anyone a go. If Wright or EMC can’t work on the right then I think you’ve got to rotate Wright at ST and LW, probably start with him LW and bring EMC on for either him or Simms depending on how the game is going.
Doubt Wright will be ready to start by the 8th.
Lampard seems very cautious when interviewed about putting a timeline on when he'll be match fit.
Didn’t he go to Leicester? Gordon didn’t flourish with us although keeping us in the top league is always good.I may be wrong but I can’t remember any applause for Gordon Milne when he returned with Leicester
He did well with us. Put together a brilliant squad.Didn’t he go to Leicester? Gordon didn’t flourish with us although keeping us in the top league is always good.
I really hope Lampard doesn’t get himself in the same mess Robins did when he has lots of forward options. He needs to keep it simple. Wide left. Wright or EMC. Wide right Sakamoto or Rodrigues. Central. Simms BTA or Bassette. Don’t try and keep everyone happy. It can’t be done.
The highlights being 2-2 vs Bristol. 5-4 Norwich plus more of course.He did well with us. Put together a brilliant squad.

Rodrigues? LOL

I take it you mean Raphael - I can't see him being thrust into the team suddenly after barely starting at all for us this season
Totally agree with this. Keep the best formation and don't try and force all your best players in out of position.I really hope Lampard doesn’t get himself in the same mess Robins did when he has lots of forward options.

They are both good enough players to switch sides IMO, including during a match.If Wright or EMC can’t work on the right

He was fine, nowhere near as bad as people made out, and as you say the main reason was the fact that both the club and the Championship were new to him. His ability was clear enough to see, and he was unlucky not to get a few goals, but as is depressingly common on here, he got rated as a non-league player because of a few understandable mistakes. He may prefer the left side, but I'm confident he could be a big threat on the right too.EMC has looked poor on the right when he's played there.
Appreciate his a bit further into his City career now and playing with confidence but still....

How many minutes did he actually play there?
Wright and EMC will start over Sakamoto. This idea that Haji or EMC cannot play RW needs to stop until they’ve played at least a few games.
Lampard changed formation yesterday to accommodate EMC, Lampard views him as undroppable. Saka isn’t and was a casualty as soon as we changed formation in Jan.
If one of them can play on the right that's fine.
But what people are saying,and what I agree with, is you dont shoehorn someone into a position they're not comfortable in just to get them in the side.
Yes he is -he also didn’t manage anyone else and created the club we have today
All that said he was a hated figure here when chairman in the early eighties
i think everyone can appreciate what robins did for the club and the gratitude and appreciation people may or may not have for that should not be judged by what happens in a single high stakes championship match. It’s a distraction tbh i’d prefer it to happen after the game or not at allWell with that attitude, what's the point in anything? The Jimmy Hill statue - he's gone and is irrelevant to our future.
