How does anyone compare 3 seasons in the Championship with someone who has been here for 14 games?
Dunno where you dug this up from, but it's wrong. Coventry have won 3, drawn 1, lost 5 of their last 9. Both scored and conceded 13
Plus if we are going to judge walters being good becasue we are 6th on xg or whatever
Robins coventry are even higher
Robins in
(I think its very very unlikely robins jumps into another job so soon though)
Better xG and better xGA. Unfortunately for them, they score fewer and concede more than XG suggests they should, and that's kinda what really matters
You’re right! That’s my fault for trusting Ai to convert it, corrected now thanks
If we can include Walter’s last 3 seasons too?
Careful, the penny might be about to drop.
About time it did for you. Regarding a lot of things.
So you're not going to judge them on the same length of time because it would ruin your argument, got it!
Can we, for one moment, stop comparing records of Robins & Walter & just get down to what the problem people have with TW, it’s the performances that’s the issue. I’ve only seen 2 games in full this season, Stoke on TV & Cardiff live, & I can say, that despite the results, we weren’t convincing, & both those teams had just sacked their managers.
I have no idea how Robins’ team played, but if anyone does, then that’s the comparison to make, not this season, XG or X-Men!

My argument is Robins has more experience and more success in the Championship - and indeed England. Why would highlighting that ruin my argument?
You picking out a tiny sample (relative to Robins entire time in charge of cov) to suggest he's no better than Walter is a bit strange.
Phil Brown had more experience and success in the PL than Jurgen Klopp.Maybe Liverpool should had have gone for him before Klopp?

It's almost like more nuance is needed in assessing a manager than picking a small sample of games and determining a manager's worth off the back of it. Robins has succeeded numerous times, Walter doesn't have a single success on his CV.
Maybe Liverpool should have got Brendan Rodgers back from Celtic since he was doing so well in a foreign league.

Thomas Frank never played as a pro and only had experience of managing junior teams and 3 seasons as a manager in the Danish league. Think how much better Brentford would have done if they had got somebody with experience of managing at Championship level. Phil Parkinson, Phil Brown, Iain Dowie, Nigel Pearson, Nick Barmby, Steve Bruce, Mike Phelan, Leonid Slutsky, Shota Arveladze are just a few that fitted the bill better.
