How many times have we failed against lower league opposition over the last few years? Last night was one of the few times we've actually got the expected result-so good on Robins.

I like the bit...'under caretaker manager Roland Nilsson'....sounds familiar. Thank God things have changed for the time being. Actually I've a feeling Robins will be around for a while.

Some people are being unrealistic. Some people wanted Shaw. After the results we got with him in charge nobody wanted Shaw. We were on a very bad run. We got 3 draws under AT. This was not seen as good enough. He had to go. Shaw took over. A cup win, then during September a win against Burton after pens and 6 defeats has been followed by 3 wins and a draw. 7 goals for and 1 against in them 4 games. Now 1 or 2 think the 4-0 win should have been better :laugh:

I can see light at the end of the tunnel. Before Robins took over I didn't even know where the tunnel was. He isn't a magician. Things are changing though. He is slowly making me believe again though

Makes you wonder if we would have been relegated under Robins...

Not a chance, cov could have stayed up under Thorn so survival would have been a certainty under Robins - indeed I would have been surprised to have been in relegation struggles under a half decent manager.

Just a note of caution. Cov still have not managed to play a full 90 minutes of high tempo football all season. Even against York, for the first half at least York were the better side!

Cov still haven't faced a decent side this year (and maybe they won't - this is league 1 after all). A team with its ducks in a row will tear strips out of cov as they are right now

Have you forgotten about Arsenal already PMT1? Thinking about it even Arsenal didn't play high tempo for 90 mins against us and they are one of the top teams in the prem. They must be shite as well.
