I was always convinced he was the replacement for Robins when he leaves. Doesn’t seem likely now.
I was always convinced he was the replacement for Robins when he leaves. Doesn’t seem likely now.I've made it clear that I am a massive Vivash fan and expressed my concerns that anyone who replaced him would have to be as good if not better.
That said, the last two seasons we started really badly and that happened when Adi was here. The CBS pitch debacle didn't help two years ago. Think how our second string played against Bristol City at Burton during that time.
It is way too early to see how the team will perform this season or to start asking questions about the Manager.
A couple of weeks ago, someone said to me MR was distinctly average in his second spell with us until Adi arrived. I wonder if a statto on here could prove if that is erroneous or not, as I can't find the info.
No league goal for Simms since Leeds, 10 games.
I have concerns about how we're going sure but don't resort to kneejerk shite like youHow is it reactionary shite? We have played well in one game and even in that we had to rely on a dodgy back pass in the 96th minute, if you’re happy then fine, don’t let me spoil your enjoyment
Bidwells fault for most of them, season too far for him unfortunately. Been a good steady Eddie thoughBeing balanced I'd say 3 goals we've conceded so far this season 2 we're deflections and 1 should have been disallowed .
Not saying we are playing well , but we aren't getting much luck either

No I heard that and I do appreciate that, but he’s been poor evo. Fucks me off when he tucks in so narrow, seeing some strange tactics if that’s what he’s being told to do.I hadn't really taken into consideration what oggy and rob were saying in that he doesn't get much cover from wright like MVE gets from tatsu
I hate this possession slow football we tried doing it last year at the start.I hadn't really taken into consideration what oggy and rob were saying in that he doesn't get much cover from wright like MVE gets from tatsu
I pointed out he's scored in 9 league matches.. meaning in 41 other matches he's either come on or started he's not scored in , we need more from him in the league
Ellis appears to be a confidence player to me. Lacking in that at the moment and frequently isolated. Can't help being substituted frequently .We do and he's got work to do.
Bassette looks a real handful and Asante looked decent against Oxford.
Frustrated me seeing Simms getting handled by Doyle today. He should be bullying players like him.
I think that he needs to acknowledge that caution is not the way forward. The supposed strength of the squad is the attack , the midfield is generally worse than average and the jury is out on the defence. Surely we have to play at a much higher pace and press high up the pitch. I also don't subscribe to what appears to be planned substitutions. Take players off by all means if they are playing crap but this system never allows them enough time on the pitch to play themselves into form. This is a new ball game for Robins in not having to shop at Lidl for cast offs and managing players with arguably more talent is another challenge. I am interested to see what he will come up with as if this continues there are bound to be questions asked.Robins isn’t going to be sacked this season so let’s put that to bed.
Doug was clear he wanted 3 out of 5 in play offs at least. 2 seasons in and 1 has been achieved. So if Robins doesn’t deliver this season he has to from next.
What is disappointing is we knew we needed a decent start to have a good chance of making the play offs. We’ve again started to mess that up. So very quickly this can slip away.
Robins is notoriously a stubborn man and won’t change his mind on tactics unless forced. We clearly can’t carry on like this because our league form has been awful in 2024 in general.
Robins needs to take this international break to reflect on what to do next. He needs a new plan because the current one is a broken record.
I agree to a large degree but comparatively to the majority of the Championship we've spent a shed load of money.Wow!
After the devastation caused by the worst owners we have ever had, Richardson and Robinson, we are lucky CCFC still exists. We have no right or claim to be in the top flight. Performing well in the Championship should feel pretty good. Everything is okay at the moment and mid table respectability should be manna to the fans.
It’s been an average start to the season but oh, no, it hasn’t. It’s only been average if you have massively high expectations and somehow think that City are destined for promotion.
We aren’t. This is a competitive division and there are a dozen clubs with legit claims to be play off teams or higher.
All is good.

Yeah it was a new team essentially,yes hopefully it will be!Absolutely agree. But I think that spending has been sustainable unlike the spending that left the club 10s of millions in debt.
Absolutely and we appear to be being run on a sound financial footing. Appreciate that nothing happens overnight. Hopefully if we are in the Championship next season 2 player sales would bring in substantial funds to address the squad imbalances.Absolutely agree.

On the wage note apart from Sheaf I don’t think I’d currently give any of the old guard a new contract. Want more earn it.
I’m going to put a new slant on it. We’re verging on being a big club in this league.Wow!

His detractors on here really are a bunch of fuck wits.
I'll admit that you're a twat
We are 4 games into the season, last season he took expensive players to an fa cup semi final
No, I just want us to back the team.
Atmosphere was pathetic today and it will get worse with all the negativity.
Yeah. We don't seem to have adequate cover for Sheaf, but when Sheaf's back, I am sure we'll be absolutely fine.End of the day , we are 4 games into the season and haven't played with our captain and best midfielder once in the league .
Way too early for this
Well you get lucky if you actually attempt shots on target. BTA had a shot the other day that looped in off a deflection. Did we even have a meaningful shot at goal today? Think Haji and EMC tried a few tame efforts. Rudoni scuffed one when well placed. Simms missed 2 chances of which one he should’ve done better. Against Stoke we didn’t test the keeper at all.Being balanced I'd say 3 goals we've conceded so far this season 2 we're deflections and 1 should have been disallowed .
Not saying we are playing well , but we aren't getting much luck either
Part of the problem is Ellis doesn’t inspire confidence in his teammates either. So they think “Why bother passing to him, when he’ll miss it anyway”. Supposedly big and strong, yet so timid and easily outmuscled. It’s frustrating.Ellis appears to be a confidence player to me. Lacking in that at the moment and frequently isolated. Can't help being substituted frequently .
Dovin didn't have a single shot to save yesterday, mind.Well you get lucky if you actually attempt shots on target. BTA had a shot the other day that looped in off a deflection.

It’s not Devin’s fault we lost. But we still lost even if it was due to an unlucky deflected attempt from point blank range. Getting into good positions and getting shots on target matter.Dovin didn't have a single shot to save yesterday, mind.
His lovers are probably worse. Absolutely silent for months on end when he played shit, but are first to pull the wagging finger now we've started the season slow and can safely make sensionalist comments now he isn't here.
This simply isn’t true is it.I defended him when he was playing badly because I think people underestimated the affect of his injury.
Of course no one can prove either way that that was the reason behind his poor form
But O'Hare at his worse was still light years,ahead of anything that midfield had to offer yesterday.
This simply isn’t true is it.
None of our players when they have a poor day are light years ahead of the rest, including COH.
COH at his best was better than Eccles and Torp at their best but at his worst he was also totally ineffective. There is a reason why COH is still in the championship despite being available on a free and it’s not because he’s light years ahead of the average championship midfielder.
