  1. That Fat Centre Half

    Managerial Merry-Go-Round 2022/23

    Frank Lampard on the of the favourites to replace Robins at Coventry. Sacking a club legend to replace him with a manager who has at best been very average, not great. Even the Derby side where he was regarded as having done a good job on reflection doesn’t look as good given who was in that...

    Not much quality on show in the Sheffield derby. No real chances but a decent atmosphere - Wednesday will be the happier for sure. Arblaster looks like he has done his knee, cant believe he played on having gone down with no one around him. A real shame for him as looks a quality young player.

    Think thats a very fair assessment of it. I think i would still give it a bit longer but im not going to vehemently disagree with people who want him to go now. I do feel for him though, the squad has been badly mismanaged in my view and i would love to know how thats happened - maybe thats...

    As we were away I went to Peterborough vs Cambridge with my Cambridge supporting father in law So that makes our aggregate result for the day 11-2 against, and a very quiet journey home :ffs: Probably the worst observed minutes silence I’ve ever seen at a football ground, think a few of the...

    Personally think he deserves to Christmas and then if it’s still like this, he has to go. But, can’t say I violently disagree with anyone who wants him out now. Club needs to take a hard look at itself though, since promotion it’s all gone a bit wrong imo

    Turned it off at the 4th goal now. I expected us to lose to be honest but a hammering is tough to take I honestly think the squad is very very poor and the recruitment has been dreadful for a while now so it’s not totally Edwards fault, his stubbornness with the shape, and especially the...

    We’ve rotated the team on this short week. Right thing to do but shows the lack of depth in the squad imo. No holding midfield player so Walsh and Baptiste start which looks ill balanced. Everyone is going to be triggered by Woodrow starting too. Personally much rather see Taylor get a go, he’s...

    Seems to be working for you at the moment though. Good to see Fred seemingly doing well

    Given his penchant for a former player, I wonder if he will go in for Harry Cornick at Bristol City. He’s out of favour, not especially prolific but he lead that pressing style for him very well

    Yes a lot of managers are way too dogmatic at the moment imo. We really took advantage of that in the Championship with teams who thought they were Man City and wanted to play out from the back all the time, pressed the shit out of them into inevitable mistakes. I imagine that doesn’t really...

    I saw you a couple of months ago against Stevenage and the pressing wasn’t right yet. With how NJ has played since his second spell with us, the key thing was to set traps in the press which got us into areas of the pitch we couldn’t have done through incisive play as to be frank we didn’t have...

    Without wising to go all Jurgen Klopp about it too, but..... Its also a bit silly that Middlesborough have an extra days prep time over us as they played Tuesday night and its not a 3pm but a 12:30 kick off. When its such a short turn around time between games that is actually a meaningful...

    Really harsh decision. I’ve a lot of time for Coventry and Robins was a total class act in my view across many battles along our journeys together with them through the leagues to ultimately the playoff final. I suspect there is stuff going on behind the scenes because his long time assistant...

    We just needed a win tonight by any means necessary and we did so there’s that - but it was a really poor game once again. Was only ever going to be a set piece goal as we didn’t look like we had much clue what we were trying to do otherwise. After that Adebayo and Baptiste coming on gave us a...

    Looking like a bullet dodged from our point of view. All kinds of shady stuff going around him with the agents and clubs wanting extra fees for him and then this. Not sure why Hull signed him, loads of clubs were linked but ultimately backed off because of it

    The handball by Yu was unbelieveable, can believe the officials didnt spot that. Even looked pretty sheepish running off celebrating Side point i noticed watching the highlights this morning: whats with all the Japanese players now suddenly at this level?

    You managed to put in a performance away from home finally as well though. You’ve really had some strange games this year West Brom are 6th and I thought they were pretty poor on Friday night, not that we were very good either. I don’t think you have to THAT good to be in and around the...
