Lost to Hull, picked up further injuries during the game.
We need to complete the fixtures so we'll put out the strongest team we have. But we still have 3 games in 8 days. And our squad is not the biggest.
Mark Robins doesn't oversell our problems. If we're that thin on the ground, it's real. |  | |  |

Robins doesn’t get mentioned when vacancies crop up which surprises me. Or maybe he does and I’ve missed it, do you fear losing him? |  |

You are correct, he doesn't get mentioned.
Last 7 years, only one approach has been reported.
Sunderland wanted him. He declined.
Think he knows where the grass is greener.
He first came to us in 2012. Stayed 6 months then went off to Huddersfield. Then Rotherham. Had a terrible time at both. Came back to us in 2017 just as we were dropping into L2. 1 season in that league and 2 Wembley trips in 12 months. Now 4 Wembley trips in 7 years.
He and the club haven't looked back since. We've never known anything like the success he's brought here.
Funny story... last season, we got a new owner in December.
He set out his intentions to Robins that he wanted 3 Playoffs in 5 years if we didn't get promoted beforehand. Robins achieved. Season 1, Playoffs. This season, almost.
This season, owner says "I want a cup run". Robins gets us to the semi-final.
To be blunt, I'm dreading if Doug King, the owner, says next season "I want us playing in Europe". I think Robins would walk away, laughing. | | | |

Robins has been brilliant and it’s great to see a proper club like Cov back in its feet (and then some) after all your ground issues. I’ve often feared Norwich would swoop in for Robins but I hope he stays with you. A disgrace you were cheated out of a cup final.
Ps. Let us beat you next week please |  |

Hmm. While it might be true, I'd be cautious as an Ipswich fan taking too much comfort in a manager covering a couple of shambolic mistakes in such a big game. There's an element of deflection here for sure. |  | | |

As for Leicester I don’t think nearly enough has been made of their blatant cheating. They need to start next season on -20 and suffer every week. | |

We have been practising own goals and gift goals recently. We netted 2 OG against Cardiff, who could still only beat us 2-1.
And gifted Hull 2 freak goals last night.
We're getting ready for you  | | | |

I don't think anything I said was unreasonable. He's a manager protecting his players after two horrid mistakes in their biggest game of the season. I wasn't being inflammatory. | | | |

Err, for me, that’s exactly what you did in your original post and now done it again.
Sorry, I just don’t get derogatory posts like that when an oppo fan comes in peace. We all saw the goals from last night, no need to rub it in, twice.
And biggest game of the season? I’d have thought the semi was bigger and they deserve huge respect for coming back like they did, with I’m sure huge swathes of the country willing them to ultimately beat Man U. | | | |

I'm not rubbing it in - I have absolutely no ill feelings towards Cov or the poster. If we made those errors Saturday night needing 3 points to keep our season alive you'd see the same here and much, much worse.
I was countering his/her point that Robbins would not lie or sugarcoat their position with injuries. I think every manager in the league would sugarcoat it off the back of what's just happened on the pitch, in order to protect their players.

A bad owner would have sacked him after the slow start and not quite a good enough set of results this season. The same goes for Michael Carrick. However, a good season is like putting your best players in the shop window and the money could be good, but your best two players leave a huge gap that isn't always easy to fill. We were also interested in Simms, but 5 million looked a bit steep and it seemed like we dodged a bullet after he looked bang average for roughly the first half of the season. Now he really looks worth the money!
It really is essential to give it everything when you get a chance because it's often not that easy the next year. Coventry missed out on promotion by the smallest of margins. | | | |

In answer to your final para, possibly both.
We get assholes from other clubs coming on here who deserve no respect. This poster came in peace, being open and honest, which does deserve respect.
People read posts differently, there’s often a degree of interpretation and for me yours came across as unnecessarily derogatory towards a friendly fan from an upcoming opponent, a club that’s really been through the quagmire over recent years. I give them huge credit to be where they are now.
Best just leave it at that. No doubt we’re all pulling for our boys to come through on the right side of this from the ITFC point of view. | | | |

Fair enough, admittedly perhaps my use of "shambolic" was a bit sharp, but they were absolute stinkers. It wasn't meant as a jibe - probably frustrated as I would have liked to have seen them do better last night.
As you say, the poster has contributed how we'd hope all visiting fans would.

Appreciate your comments, and no disrespect was read in any of the posts.
In fact, shambolic is surprisingly light compared to some of the comments Coventry fans are calling them.
Brad Collins, our keeper, was most certainly at fault for the first and third goals. We've seen clowns with better hand/eye coordination than what was observed last night.
Excuses can and will be made. Tiredness, mentally fatigued. All valid.
But the important comment is that it is not just this game. We've seen errors creep in among the squad for a few games. This was the final straw with regard Playoff qualification.
For info, there are calls for our backup keeper to now be given a runout. Ben Wilson was a star for us last season, saved a match losing pen against WBA and scored an injury time goal away at Blackburn. But he had a rocky start to the season and has since be used sparingly. Cup games and for injury cover.
He's got errors in him still so you don't have to fret unnecessarily. | | | |

If Robins says they're injured, I would honestly believe they are.
Haven't seen him undersell an injury or call for rest all season. Even our stars have been dropped if he felt Cal O'Hare needed a rest, to the fans disbelief. O'Hare wasn't on the bench last night after the weekend's exertion. He may play on Saturday but that's debatable as he has been out of form over the last two months. | | | |

Thanks for the response.
We haven't been in great nick for a while now ourselves, with some uncharacteristic performances where we've looked very tired. We've had illness through the camp which hasn't helped, although KM has been reluctant to lean too heavily on it as an excuse it's been commented on in the media that it's effected us badly.
The championship season is relentless and it's no surprise to see the squads with the parachute millions at the top at this stage. Your cup run may have done us a huge favour in gifting us some rest at a vital point, but we've seen how things don't always click after a break. Hopefully we can upset the apple cart.
Disappointed from a personal point of view that our fixture was rearranged as I can't make the trip on Tuesday and was quite looking forward to it. Always next year (or hopefully not, as I'm sure you won't mind me saying!).
I'll keep an interested eye out for Ben Wilson - hopefully he doesn't stake his claim against us. We well know how a 2nd choice keeper can transform themselves into a POTS contender in a very short time, despite some obvious flaws. I imagine Christain Walton will be allowed into the market in the summer - he'd make a fine keeper for most Championship sides.
All the best for the rest of the season. | | | |
