My concern with Robins (2 Viewers)

[Martin180]

Well what do you want me to say Martin. I don’t think he moved the ball quickly enough or positively enough. You do. Shall we have this back and forth until we both die or shall we we agree to disagree and move on?

Up to you mate . I watch every game without having a preconceived throwaway comment about certain players , over the years I've not always liked many of our players but would always say when they've performed well

There will be some fall out from this. I’m not saying Robins will be gone but I don’t think Doug King will just sit on his hands.

My bet is that the recruitment team is changed to allow the new recruitment team to come in time before the January window.

The recruitment team robins brought in?

 

[Martin180]

Absolutely but it runs a little deeper, hence the frustration from fans on here.

How does it run deeper?

 

[Matt smith]

As long as it takes

Oh right that’s a great mantra

Worked for Ferguson and many others , David Moyes was going to be sacked in January and won the Europa League .
Funny old game football

Fair comment, signings are awful there’s no quality or fight in this team

YEP!

Forwards haven't delivered that's for sure but Sakamoto, Latibeaudaire and tonight Kitching have all showed promise

 

[Evo1883]

Listened to Robins, sounds very assured and relaxed about his position at the club , seems positive these players will get it right eventually and agree with almost everything he said , believes in his players too .. fans need to stick by him and back the team as always

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

So we don't sack him then?

I literally posted above it’s way too early but in this league, given the expenditure, nobody else would still be in a job. See Chris Wilder at Boro and Michael O’Neill at Stoke last season. MR has earnt the right to more time to see if he can fix it.

Sometimes people make mistakes (I do but don’t tell my staff). The strength is to defend the people but not be afraid to make changes.

Turning on people on public is not the key.

Problem is I don’t trust the people at the club to replace Gus properly

need to get rid of this recruitment team in time for January

He’s got to back them… it’s the most expensively assembled Coventry City squad ever.

do you honestly believe that this sack of shit is worth 20m?

Failing that we could always look forward to standing on a hill in Northamptonshire wondering if we are destined for the Conference

We’ve fucked up the biggest summer in the clubs recent history

 

[The Philosopher]

Wright is the biggest focus due to his fee. He looks hapless tbh.

Not bed wetting, just honest.

I think it's still too early write off the team ffs

Oh yes or we could be going to Liverpool this Saturday

im not forgetting the job he’s done but that’s a silly argument Martin

 

[SeaSeeEffCee]

Not sure I’ve actually see anyone say we need to sack him, nor heard anything sort of negative chants in the ground either so not really sure where this idea that the fans aren’t getting behind him is coming from.

Robins isn’t immune from criticism for season he’s currently having just because he’s been great for us.

Whereas I HAVE seen a few people on socials say its time for change

To be fair I’ve said Christmas, which I think is fair if we’re in and around the bottom 3 after spending 20/25 million pounds.

Even he looked in disbelief at how he put that 1v1 wide of the goal. £8 million completely wasted.

100%

 

[SBT]

If push comes to shove, we will go pragmatic and scrape out results…pack the midfield, go counter attacking, long throws, park the bus. All the same things we did in 2020/21 when it looked like we couldn’t buy a goal and we needed points to stay above the line. But we’re not there yet, nowhere close.

I don’t agree with how this recruitment team has re-assembled the squad, but there is nevertheless enough talent here to merit trying to build something different to what we’ve muddled by with before.

Is it ?
46 years this has been my club and for 10-15 of those were the darkest days following my beloved team.
Don't dismiss so easily how close we were to footballing obscurity.
Last season in my opinion was nothing short of miraculous and nearly had a fairytale ending but don't dare compare so glibly the comparison my friend please

Let's not pretend that Gyökeres used to miss chances like that every week and he went for £20m.

The difference between the two is that Gyökeres kept going every game and eventually scored.

 

[Great_Expectations]

Said it on the match thread, but in short; MR Out and relegation talk is mental.

Can’t wait for five more days of negativity on SBT.

Gyo did miss good chances that’s true, but half of those he’d have made for himself in the first place. Imagine if Wright was put through for that offside goal, he’d have tamely passed it to the keeper most likely.

I feel really sorry for him to be quite honest, he’s miles out of his depth in a new country and every time he misses piss easy chances he’ll just sink that bit lower.

And Gyokeres had a massive impact outside of scoring as well.

 

[BlueSkiesForever]

The fact Eccles is still taking corners is really bizarre, almost every single fan on this forum can see he needs to stop taking corners and yet Robins can’t see it. I also don’t want Robins out but on certain issues he really comes across as clueless.

 

[The Philosopher]

Kitching Wright and Simms cost as much as the stadium.

Probably.

Stadium probably has more movement

They’ll be some finger pointing going on believe me behind closed doors. King will be wanting some answers what the root cause is. If it’s the recruitment then they’ll be gone despite robins saying he makes the final decision on signings.

 

[Martin180]

Comparing players is largely irrelevant. What is clear with Vik is he had a huge desire to improve himself and according to reports worked incredibly hard to achieve that. Not saying Simms and Wright shouldn't be looking to do the same but each individual is different

If eccles is the best set piece taker at the club then that's abysmal
