Robins at Cov, Robins at Town.

Right .
lets be having it out.

Who's with him, Who's again' him !
We'll need input from our very own excellent 'stats' man MIRF for this one,
But I suspect his 30 odd games For Coventry look better on paper than the equivalent games for TOWN .

It's obvious as a group, we are divided on this.
Many liken him as being no different than the previous two managers..
Clark & Grayson, Playing a negative formation, with a defense way too deep, and guilty of picking mid-fielders who are labeled both lazy & lacking in vision.

But for some, He's a shining light, who has improved the defense..backed up by 'stats', that we don't leak goals to the same tune as we did...& that we have a scorer knocking in the goals as prolific as any in this division.
The darn side of that is he seems to be the only one doing so. & now that he is suspended for 3 games, We might now be lacking in the goal scoring dept'.

More than a good few on this chat board have stated that we are very good when going forward, & an equal to many a top team of late, But yet we seem to lapse into mediocrity, It would seem in every game.

So.
What's wrong..or, In your view, What's wrong at Town.
Are you satisfied with what you see, & accepting of our position in the table,
or do you honestly think we can & should be doing better.
Lets be having YOUR opinion written out for all to read

OK. Don't just 'view' and say 'Fork Hall'. (Inter did a cracking thread for the game on Saturday, & at one stage the ratio was 230odd views, with just 22 comments ??)

Lets read your comments, and argue them out in the open.
Mirf.
I'd be much obliged if you could post the appropriate 'stats' Thanks.

FFS Jacko....

I'M DOING IT
I'M DOING IT...

Got a 'mate' helping me this time though

a 'mate'

You & Mirf carry on with the distraction, You're doing a blinding job.

& Yeah. come on Mirf.
Never mind jacko's stats...
You haven't explained why we have only acquired 1 point from 9 this month..s'not so good that is it Mirf..
Just saying like.

I'm busy.

Okay Darn...sorry..I'll let you get on with it....

meanwhile, keeping things 'ticking over' with my mate Mirf...

sorry, but your logic is again flawed....

you can't compare where the clubs ended up the season....it's where they we 'at the time we played them'...(isn't this obvious)...what 'form' they were on...

7 of the 12 we played last season were in the top 8 at the time...3 mid table, 2 in the bottom 5

this season...

5 of the 12 were in the top 8, 5 mid table and 2 in the bottom 5

This proves once again, I am right and you are wrong...whatever stats you throw at it Mirf..the truth is somewhat different....this season we've had 'easier' games than last season...and yet............

At this point can I just remind everyone that Mark Robins is currently working on a budget which is £2million less than Simon Grayson had last season so if we match or improve on last season then surely that means Robins is doing a better job with less resources

not if the £2m was Beckford and Alan Lee...and loanee Danns...I'd say we're better off without...


...but a good point Wakey It's Deano's fault then...

Look, I'm getting totally confused with who I am talking to on here? - Is It "jacko" or "jacko returns"?, because I wish you two would come to some common sense agreement, whereby one of you drops the "jacko" name.

This forum would be in an absolute mess if we also had a "Darn unda" and a "Darn unda Returns" etc. etc. So come on, get your fingers out and lets get it sorted pronto, because I'm sure both of you agree it makes sense.

Btw. Come the end of the season both of you will be eating a shed load of humble pie, when Robins and the lads prove that I was right and you were both p-ssing in the wind.

I think you two should have a fight

Sort it out,
Seaways cafe on the way to Brid...
plenty room in the car park.. I'll hold the coats,
The winner buy's the toasted current Tea Cakes & tea's.

I was asked to stand in for jacko when Admin cocked things up and wouldn't let him sign in...

I've got quite close to him now anyway, and the stuff he writes is amazing...so true...always accurate...in fact he's a bit of a hero of mine...

He don't look nothing like Ronnie Moore though...more the Sean Connery sort...

Looks and Brains eh...

If you want to pick a fight with him, you got to go through me first

I prefer him tbh.

With the Ronnie Moore thing, you should call yourself....... Rovers returns
