Mark Robins really deserves so much credit. He really seems to have the knack at City. The way he has stuck by players like McNulty and Biamou and brought the best out of them, not to mention spotting talents such as McDonald and Davies is amazing. We are so lucky to have him in a league 2.
Get up to the Ricoh, get behind these young lads and support Robins and his push for promotion. If this fails it could be a long time before we are in this position again.
We desperately were crying out for a leader. No matter what his shortcomings talent wise. No one can argue he's a true leader and huge voice in dressing room who has by all accounts impeccable standards for training etc.
That's Doyle I'm talking about.
Not forgetting Widdrington who was brought in for the recruitment side
Like Pedro?it's pretty much imperative that we sign another striker who can hit the ground running.
No rubies and emeralds etc are gemsDavies is a gem
But if he was making all the right decisions and substitutions he would be managing at as higher level but he is doing alright in my eyesI do rate Robins, but at times I do believe he is riding his luck a bit.
Made some dodgy substitutions and failed to make substitutions when they have been needed and made the wrong substitutions on occasions in taking the incorrect players off.
Looks great yesterday that 3-1, but we could have easily lost that game.
Had we lost we would have been down to 10th and he would have been very much under critical scrutiny.
It's a very fine line.
I don't think it was tough getting rid of Rose, it was a god send and In Bigis case there wasn't a decision to be made he decided himself, with the help of his agent, he was goingIt’s also some of the tough decisions he has made like getting rid of Rose and Bigi in the summer. I personally would have moved mountains to keep them. Whereas he has brought in Doyle and had faith in Baylis, which has paid handsome dividends!
Also remember when we were always famous for conceding late goals. Every week we would let a goal in in injury time! He has changed all of that and changed the culture of the club.
Maybe you are talking to the wrong peopleI don't think we are famous for that reason. When I tell someone I support CCFC they don't say oh yes, is that the team that always concedes late goals.
Except he didnt move bigi on did he? Offered him a nee ckntract to stay a d bigi chose to go to motherwellIt's due to the simple decision to move both Bigi and Rose on is why the defensive aspect of our game is so good, keep them on in L2 and well... I dread to think
That was a no brainier, Rose and Bigi or Doyle and Kelly.
Aside from that I like MR, CCFC and him seem a good fit. A few times you can question his decisions, mainly subs in games or lack of but it's his side and he's the one who knows the players inside out.
We need to trust him, so in MR we believe in.
I thought Stevenson looked incredibly fresh yesterday. He was warming up lovely.I thought Stevenson and Bayliss were struggling after 60 minutes and we're running on empty tanks and was concerned he was not addressing that side of the team
Except he didnt move bigi on did he? Offered him a nee ckntract to stay a d bigi chose to go to motherwell
He was tackling very well in his 2nd stint with us so imo he would have been very good for us in the middle as we see relient we sre on bayliss passing to get stuff going from midfield
That said this thread ainy about that but lets not lie a d say he moved bigi on. Thats like saying he mkves goerge thomas on.
I think thats abig assumpyion to make. It could juet have been a sisu budgrt ckntract and bigi sgent wsnted more. Might not have been lowballed though
I think bigi was excellsnt under robins ens to last season so convinced he would have been hood in league 2 but it doesnt matter now. We have had 2 cebtral misfield partnerships in league 2 and both have been successfull
Doyle deserves so much credit considerinf he has been a part of both of them
I don't think he's got the aggressive streak in him to thrive at this level. A typical Morden day academy product where the ability is there but not the mental strength to live up to his ability.
He moved on so we will never know now. I'm happy with the outcome, as is his agent.
Not a big fan, but it's obvious what he brings to the team in terms of spirit and energy and morale.
The man is a leader and to me one of my favourite Cov players of all time, yes he isn’t technically gifted like other players, but he always gives 100%, he puts himself on the line and wears the badge with immense pride.
Nothing but love for Doyler from me.
Course it is but that’s the gameI do rate Robins, but at times I do believe he is riding his luck a bit.

I dunno he was making so many goal linr blocks last season. Think there was a will to win.
Least willis has taken over that mantle now
Must be the reason why Lee Burge got the sponsors MOTM Gael Bigirimana trophy award yesterday.
He met the criteria to be a winner.
What’s the criteria?
I do rate Robins, but at times I do believe he is riding his luck a bit.

I do rate him and I do like him. Just feel like he has made a number of errors this season.I understand what you say but I think that also shows the character of his teams he builds.
I noticed it in his first spell here as well, we could be playing average or poor in a match. And then we have a good minute 15 minute spell in the game and we will score 2 or 3 goals in that spell and take the game away from the opposition.
So we could have only played well for 20 minutes and come out comfortable winners
I couldn't have put that better myself. Bigi and Rose struggling in Scotland. We needed to offload them good job Robins did.It's due to the simple decision to move both Bigi and Rose on is why the defensive aspect of our game is so good, keep them on in L2 and well... I dread to think
That was a no brainier, Rose and Bigi or Doyle and Kelly.

We need to trust him, so in MR we believe in.
But along the same lines, we could have easily won vs Exeter away or Port Vale away. They didn't deserve to win those games.
I agree he is doing a good job, my one and only criticism is that he doesn't use the substitutes as much as he could.
But then again in saying that Swindon used all three of theirs and were terrible substitutions as Norris and Woolley shouldn't have been taken off.
Can we all just for a second imagine where we would be if Russell Slade was still in charge.
I'm a huge Robins fan, he's by far the best manager we could hope for right now and is doing a brilliant job.
he's 12 points behind us with a far inferior budget
He showed more incompetence than Thorn and that takes some doing.
yer, Grimsby holding their own in League two or being dismissed from Kiddiminster after less than 2 months
He showed more incompetence than Thorn and that takes some doing.
In charge of Cov, not talking about what happened afterwards.
