GlastonburyRed Posted December 21, 2022 Report Share Posted December 21, 2022 Robins works wonders with all the continual fall out at Cov, they could well be contenders again if they hold onto 'Super Vik' et al during the Jan window. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which makes the position we are in all the more frustrating, if they can do what they are doing no money ground problems etc etc why the hell can't we? dare I say it's down to our management, if only Robins was the manager of the Robins.

Always thought they were in a false position when we played them early October. They were bottom but looked not bad albeit not a possession dominant side- could see they were really playing for Robins too or at minimum he hadn't lost the dressing room or anything similar.

The beauty of a sensible progression strategy, that doesn’t require a complete rebuild, and is several years in, so just tweaking each window, not sledgehammer. The financial issues are more of a Cashflow issue than FFP, so different to ourselves. Recruited so well upon promotion from Lg1. Over the past couple of seasons, O’Hare made perm from loan, Sheaf made perm from Loan, Gyokeres on the cheap after a very unimpressive loan at Swansea. Hamer the “next level up” from Liam Walsh, you can see why they didn’t come back for him. And a good pathway from Academy. The only player of real note they’ve lost since coming back up is Hyam, who eased their Cashflow issues when he went to Blackburn earlier this season. The two underlined bits we’ve got one right in recent times. Hoping Tins can get the other one right. A lot of lesions to be learned from theirs and Luton’s approach…although both have been to the brink, Luton even went to the Conference. I know I’m a fan of Nige, but to compare Cov to us and then point the finger at our manager (if that’s what you’re doing by saying by the bit in bold) is really ignoring the times that happened before he was appointed and led to the situation he took over. If you didn’t mean Nige, who do you mean? But I agree with your frustration. There’s quite a bit of anger too on my part, beyond the frustration.

I meant past and to a certain extent the present management, mostly the previous incumbents. I don't think Nige is completely blameless either though I do accept the job he took on was verging on poisoned chalice territory. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He ain’t perfect, and no manager comes with a guarantee. Even Pep can’t win the CL which is his no1 aim. Back to Robins, just a good football man, full stop. And an example at 53 today (22nd Dec) that you don’t have to be a youngster. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite right Rudy but as usual Rovers are ahead of the game. Supporters who can see through Mr Al-Quidi’s “Barton Bubble” have already been sent to Coventry. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davefevs Posted December 22, 2022 Report Share Posted December 22, 2022 Given a 5pt suspended sentence over the home game postponements earlier this season. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/64066705 Sounds about right to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
