Paxman II · Feb 9, 2013

Wondeful to hear what he is saying. Could not agree more.

The guy will fix this, I guarantee it.

sw88 · Feb 9, 2013

Missed it. What was said?

covcity4life · Feb 9, 2013

Agreed paxman

Hell get us to click again soon

The CableGuy · Feb 9, 2013

Very honest as always. Seemed to be questioning Clarke's work rate and wondered if some players were too comfortable playing for CCFC. Also said that if Cody keeping scoring goals then something may have to be done there (recall).

Wood and Murphy should have done better for the goal. Pitch isn't helping.

covcity4life · Feb 9, 2013

Making it uncomfortable to be a Cov player was a great comment

Put in a 100% shift or don't play

coundonskyblue · Feb 9, 2013

He said the players are feeling to comfortable.

Hopefully he will start issuing fines everytime a player misses an good chance. The club would be in the black in no time.

Paxman II · Feb 9, 2013

..well if you read between the lines a little. he is suggesting McDonald may be called back should this continue again.
he is not happy with Leon Clarke, clearly needs to do more. Woody at the back getting direct criticism.
Chances must be taken. Goals are in this team yet we are anxious.
Sounded like he will change a few for next week and drop a few. Those few feeling too comfortable in the team...not so for Robins so changes afoot.
Had talked about the position we were in before today and desire to win it. Not quite doing what was expected from them. Could even suuggest he may have given a bit of hair dryer treatment tonight. Even joked he may need to come out of retirement if we continue to miss the target.

Hope that helps..

And when we don't score from say, every 10 corners.

How many have we had this week? Must be around 30-odd, all wasted.

Sky Blue Pete · Feb 9, 2013

Completely agree

devonrich · Feb 9, 2013

Mark Robins is the man. Have complete faith if he is given long enough - beynd this season. We will not go up but wait till team becomes fully his.

The CableGuy · Feb 9, 2013

Whatever happens at the end of this season, we need to support the guy.

To be even talking semi-seriously about the play-offs after the start we had, shows what a great job MR has done.

LewSkyBlue · Feb 9, 2013

I really like MR. He's not one of these "i didnt see it" / "we tried hard" / "we were unlucky" managers, he's honest, to the point and doesnt pull punches when it comes to naming names. I think he will fix us, just hope that the fans give him time and dont get on his back if we dont go up.

junglej13 · Feb 9, 2013

Did he mention any progress in the market? I really think one or two additions in the right areas could still give us a chance.

philmcc · Feb 9, 2013

i am 100% behind MR...talks so much sense

Moff · Feb 9, 2013

Makes a change to the previous regime of 'boys gave their all, 110% etc" and other assorted similar shite after another defeat.

I like what Robins says, and if not this season then I am sure next he will get us promoted, as long as SISU dont screw it up.

Did anyone else think the goal today was offside, as I thought he was off when he recieved tha ball (even though he was allowed to run and score such a pathetice goal) and was ours in the first half off or not?

Ashdown1 · Feb 9, 2013

MR is a good guy and Knows already hE has made a mistake in Clarke !!

The CableGuy · Feb 9, 2013

http://www.ccfc.co.uk/news/article/robins-post-yeovil-h-646950.aspx

"Teams are coming to the Ricoh and sitting back now rather than attacking and we have to adapt to that."

"We've got to take our chances when they come along. Today's defeat definitely gives me food for thought because the effort and the application was there but we've not had the best time in terms of quality.

"I'll certainly look to change things because we need that bit of quality.

"The players moved on very quickly from the disappointment of Tuesday night but today was a big game because Yeovil were only a point away from us with two games in hand and it wasn't to be for us and it's massively disappointing."

"Once you've got yourself in a position where you are around where you want to be you have to make the most of it and we didn't today. It's the nearly men tag that you don't want."

"We have to [make our own luck] and we have to write our own history and we were reluctant to do that today."

"We've just got to keep working towards our goals. Today has been a body blow, not a fatal one but we can't afford too many more performances and results like that.

"Places are up for grabs because two home defeats in a week is not good enough."

Gint11 · Feb 9, 2013

Completely agree with what MR said in his post match. I must say, espeically after today, we are shocking at corners. We all (as fans) get excited when we win one because it gives up an opportunity and it shows dominance but we are so wasteful. We need to work on taking chances, although its great that we create them.We need to not let the crewe defeat and today turn into doom and gloom and then not win a game for a while. Thats what happened after Chelsea.

dongonzalos · Feb 9, 2013

Top manager

deanocity3 · Feb 9, 2013

We need a proven goal scorer in the kevin phillips mould don't need him in the build up just at the end to put the ball in the net.Lineker etc ...
Cody didn't miss that many,he strike rate per chances is probably very good.

steveo1987 · Feb 9, 2013

Pretty critical of Leon.too many poor performances today,we are just not learning how to break down sides like Yeovil,we continually pumped aimless crosses into the box for the tallest centre halfs and keeper I've ever seen,clueless stuff.Sure enough we get punished by a mistake by the totally inept Baker and a lesson in finishing ref Crewe all over again.Robins was quietly fuming and rightly so,he needs to shake some of the players out of the comfort zone.*

RichieGunns · Feb 9, 2013

In MR we trust!

BackRoomRummermill · Feb 9, 2013

Fair words , but now need to scoop it all up as he MR has done before. I my eyes JPT a distraction we did not need

the rumpo kid · Feb 9, 2013

if we continue down this vein, we will , without a dobut, lose our greatest asset, which we all know is MARK ROBINS

ccfcway · Feb 9, 2013

certainly is an intersting dynamic,

lose 2 in a week, both at home, against crewe and yeovil and people worrying about losing the manager...

BackRoomRummermill · Feb 9, 2013

MR is not going anywhere, best thing in Cov since well I dont know when ...............

Im not saying its wrong, but never seen so much support for a manager who has lost 2 home mataches in a row without scoring

Such a shame we didn't bring him in a few years ago when he would have had some level of financial backing,'and it's good that he is intimating that if he has brought a player on that is not performing 100% he is willing to change it.

Standard Triumph?

bamalamafizzfazz · Feb 10, 2013

All well and good criticising Clarke after the game but why didn't he just cut his losses today and sub him?

Lost on me.

We've got the League's top goalscorer!

If it was that simple I'm sure every team would have a Lineker who can score for fun! :facepalm:
