He has to take some blame as I'd have made the change immediately after the 1st .. but there's some houdini motherfuckers on here that's for sure
But what change? I would've maybe gone Dabo for Burroughs but apart from that I don't think anything really

Amazing home defensive record, cruising, Robins entrusted his players to easily see it through and rightly so.
It’s on the players for not being smart enough.
Lesson learnt by all.
I’d love to see the same MR bashers comments if he had of made subs and we’d have still drawn!

Robins needed to keep the pressure on Swansea by closing them down. First sub should have been Oalmet for O’Hare should also have brought Dabo on for Burroughs who had a great game but by 69 was tiring. At some stage he could have then used Tavares. We controlled the game while we pressed ad some ad the instruction came from the bench for the wing backs to drop back and stop pressing HE lost it.

Big fan of Robins, but that was on him today. Jamie Allen and O'Hare were treading water at 65 minutes. Thing we needed most once they got the 1st goal was energy, we needed to step up the pitch and try to win a few 2nd balls, but we just couldn't get near them.

Gutted tbh, but trying not to be too dramatic about it. Some tough games coming up, but let's just hope we can put it right on Wednesday.

Incredible how much tactical insight you have after the game has finished! Behave yourself man, Robins will be easily as shocked as the rest of us by that collapse.

Really don't see how it's Robins fault. Players thought it was won, sat off and they scored 3 pretty good goals

It was slightly his fault. Brought on kelly for o’hare to try and stop them equalizing and then failed to react when they drew level leaving us with gyokeres totally isolated for the last 10 mins or so chasing a goal

However anyone feels or whoever is to blame or how much, none of it matters now. Huge game on Wednesday against a team bang on form and we have to ensure that whoever features is right on their game.

Never made a sub to run at their tired legs (and help our tired legs) at 3-0 and then sat back inviting pressure after their 1st. Clueless and tactically inept at this level. Get him gone.

Yes, but unlike us he has it within his power to try and do something to change it.

He could have made a change after the first goal.
He could have made a more attacking sub than a DM coming back from injury for a AM when the problem was clearly that we were sitting too deep inviting pressure.
He could have used all the subs available to him rather than two to disrupt the momentum and/or give us fresh legs and regain some attacking impetus.

But he didn't. He watched and let us become negative and defensive and let them back into the game.

With no guarantees.

But not have the power of knowing a team 3-0 up will stop doing what they were doing and resting on their laurels.
Thats called in game management. We could all see it coming before their first goal. It wasn't against the run of play, it was coming. He had 8 minutes to change it before their second goal and didn't. He waited until we were 3-2 and really clinging on before changing it.

He is our King but he isn't infallible, and we have every right to question when he gets something as badly wrong as this. We rightly give him all the platitudes when we's got it right.

how do you work that out? Without game time we just don’t know. hes a very useful player to have come off the bench with his pace and enthusiasm. Sunderland away this season a prime example

the same manager who brings an ageing not good enough Liam Kelly on the pitch? Same manager who brings waghorn on last week who will not be here next season. sorry but that’s a poor excuse. if he doesn’t play we don’t know how good he is
