Robins has proved at Coventry that he has what it takes to be very Good manager. A lot of water has flown under the bridge since Robins left, and he has obviously gained vast experience since then. He has also brought quality players into the midland's club and might be on Town's list when our magician finally retires.

Not a chance that he would come back given the circumstances under which he walked last time.

We spent more that summer on a single player than the whole of the summer before. By necessity not by choice. If we hadn't been shit defensively, we wouldn't have signed Helik. I was talking about Rudoni. Or perhaps Kasumu. Both cost more than the £0 he was seemingly happy being backed with the year before. It has fuck all to do with backing. He knew it was a one-off year and moved to keep his stock high, plus a load of cash no doubt. And I doubt we even got a penny in compensation given the way he snaked his way out. Fuck him.

Can't blame him. Got a bunch of League 1 cloggers plus a future England captain a shit refereeing performance from the greedy league. It was nearly as miraculous as 2017. If we'd lost to Reading we wouldn't have been close the year after.

On a lighter note, 12 of Towns 32 victories v WBA have come at the Hawthorns, the first two were back in 1923 with the latter game part of the title winning season (1st of the treble) under Herbert Chapman.
Although our 1st defeat in this historical season did come at Middlesbrough......Which currently puts Sir Neil a point ahead of Sir Herbie, 5 other teams we played in 1923 (Cardiff, PNE, Blackburn, Sunderland & Brum) are also up against Town a 100 years on.

Alpha make bravado posturing. You only get one life. His budget was apparently being reduced by a third after he got us to within a couple of crooked decisions away from the Premier League. His star player sold with no prospect of a player of similar quality being brought in. He was on a hiding to nothing, I don’t blame him for leaving even if he did drop us in the shit. Warnock has walked away from teams before, including town! But you wouldn’t say he loses his bottle. Lots of people letting their loyalty to Town blind them from the situation Carlos was in.

We had our chances to finish 2nd, but bottled it in key games. Including against Bournemouth, when we could have gone above them, they were in poor form until they arrived here and absolutely pasted us. Corberan didn't have a clue and we spent the game just smashing the ball up the field. Then West Brom as well, 2-0 up with minutes to go and we draw 2-2 (though I'm sure it's all the ref's fault again...). Go on about the referee all you want, but he bottled the final. Dropped key players that had been in good form and played the likes of Pipa who exposed us defensively. Also dropped Russell and Holmes who were playing really well at that point. Then with three weeks to go before the new season, he bottled it again by resigning. Even bottled the play-offs last season with West Brom when they were two points behind with three games to go and a game in hand. Bottled the Leeds job last season as well. Not personal remarks at all, calling him a fucking wanker is personal. Observing that he's been a big bottlejob during his short career is simply an observation. Warnock is irrelevant to the conversation, but at least he had the bottle to win the final and also clear up the mess 30 years later that was started by the big bottlejob resigning in the first place.

How do you know who was playing well? I thought you stopped going to games when Corberan was manager? Agree it was a poor selection on the day, but Russell was getting overwhelmed in midfield towards the end of that season and was deservedly dropped IMO. In the cold light of day, Bournemouth were just a significantly better footballing side than us and outclassed us completely on the day, although I do think we also just didn't really show up in the home fixture. Which is a shame because we did win plenty of other key games including Fulham and Forest away. And yes, West Brom 2-2 was due to a dreadful refereeing decision, we were cruising until that 'penalty'.

Spot on so far as I can see. Edit: The West Brom game COULD be interpreted the way htafcokay put it, it could also be blamed on the ref for giving a penalty that never should have been, or it could be blamed on the player (Sorba? Tino? Can't remember) giving the "pen" away with a stupid decision.

Would respect that snake Corberan if he walked away for a more justifiable reason, like not being remunerated for the club opening a shop in the town centre.

I went to the Stoke 1-1 draw in January and then missed just two home games after that. Went to Coventry away as well. Whether the penalty was given or not, that only made it 2-1.

Despite being blocked, he's posted up tweets of mine on here before to try and initiate a pile-on, and at times he's succeeded. One particular one, which was taken completely out of context (as usual) was when I mentioned I was enjoying being back at the games, after barely going the previous season. He posted it on here making out I was enjoying losing every week, and a few posters were slagging me off on here. He even once tweeted me saying "You're clearly on the spectrum", but quickly deleted it when he got pulled up on it and realised how offensive he was.

Forest hardly had a chance against us so not sure how Pipa exposed us defensively that game. Again nonsense. But to fit the Carlos and Pipa agenda.

I also lauded Carlos on here for being adaptable and was one of the ones calling for patience in his first season, but his team selection for Wembley was shocking IMO, as were his use of subs. I agree the ref DID screw us (or made a mistake) but the "tackle" was brainless and gave him the option; the collapse afterwards was poor management, again IMO.

I was talking about Rudoni. Or perhaps Kasumu. Both cost more than the £0 he was seemingly happy being backed with the year before. It has fuck all to do with backing. He knew it was a one-off year and moved to keep his stock high, plus a load of cash no doubt. And I doubt we even got a penny in compensation given the way he snaked his way out. Fuck him. Can't blame him. Got a bunch of League 1 cloggers plus a future England captain a shit refereeing performance from the greedy league. It was nearly as miraculous as 2017. If we'd lost to Reading we wouldn't have been close the year after. Agreed, and I think it probably took more bottle to leave than stay and try to make do with a depleted squad. Must have been really disheartening after what he'd achieved to see the quality of the playing staff cut like that. And when you think you've identified key players that will help but get pipped by the much smaller club you beat in the play off semi, despite the club raking in £10M in sales. I don't blame him one bit. His stock was understandably very high and it was the right time for him to leave. It can be a very short career, there's countless coaches who have been the next best thing, doesn't take many failures to end up sliding down the leagues and out of the profession all together. We've no idea what went on but the fact the club allowed him to leave without asking for compensation of any sort maybe tells a tale.

Shouldn't have even got in the box. Seem to recall Pipa running round like a headless chicken. Admittedly, I haven't seen it since, so happy to concede if it's not how I recalled it.Me too, not watched it since about a week after, but I recall Pipa most of the game being like Thorrington after he got twatted that time Haha, John says to let him know if the footage of that ever emerges. With regards to the match, I've no interest in ever watching another frame of it. Probably the worst match I've ever watched. The whole day was just shit from start to finish.

Robins has proved at Coventry that he has what it takes to be very Good manager. A lot of water has flown under the bridge since Robins left, and he has obviously gained vast experience since then. He has also brought quality players into the midland's club and might be on Town's list when our magician finally retires. You can’t argue that he’s doing a great job at Coventry. I was sorry he upped sticks and left Town - he was one of the few managers we have had that, when you first saw his sides play thought "well, this is different". Chris Powell on the other hand....
