Going down isn’t the issue. Going down looking clueless and defeated 5 minutes into a game is unforgivable. We’ve played well once since the turn of the year.

we show no fight, we’re getting worse each game, and looking like strangers. We’ve got 8 games left. We had this issue with thorn. Keeping him is making the same mistake

You can’t talk about robins like that on here it’s against the trend and you will be called names and insulted for your different view and opinion to everyone else’s 😝😝😝

Sang from the same hymn sheet as most down to earth fans, ‘take survival on GD’.

Just performances like today and many other weeks this season just aren’t acceptable and are awful to swallow, then it’s easy to forget that initial attitude.

Maybe the objective is to just stay up this season and try and kick on afterwards .
Which seems more sensible as our rise has been quite quick and we don't have the funds available to put together a proper championship outfit over the course of 2 windows
agree , but the results and attitude of the players looks lame . I just think there’s something within the squad/Managment that’s not right .. something has happened and no one is gelling. The players are not playing as a team but as individuals.

Today was a poor performance against one of the in form teams in the league right now. I did not expect us to win today, but I hoped we would give them a game. It is a month since we scored against Derby, but let's face it we have never looked like scoring many all season. The formation worked in League 1 but we don't have Championship level players to carry it off this season. Yes we have had injuries, hit the woodwork more times than anyone else, conceded more penalties, played away from Coventry, I could go on. But how much of that could Robins effect.
The manager has done the best he can with the budget and players he has and as a recent reminder has done better than Slade, Mowbray, Boothroyd, Thorn, etc. I say let him take it to the end of the season and if we are still a Championship team give him next season at the Ricoh. He deserves that in my opinion.

I'm a bit on the fence, not sure he should be sacked, but it's something that needs to be reviewed at the end of the season, he's clearly limited as a manager but what he's done for the club, he's maybe got some time in the bank to cash in yet.

Bigger concern for me is the player recruitment. Who's actually going out and watching these foreign freebies. I can't think of a single one who has come in and even played more then a handful of games. I don't mind taking a risk on the odd player, but when it's 2 or 3 a season and not a single one has stepped up to the level (even in league one), questions need to be asked.

I think the market for those kinda shit tier foreign signings is now closed, thank goodness.

He should be seriously questioned for that team selection alone, playing Shipley who shouldn’t be even in the squad, leaving Ohare on the bench and da Costa over pask.....what is going on

Can only think his focus was more on Monday. Our home form is excellent and our away form is shocking.

I agree about Shipley and Pask (and not starting O'Hare), but lets be honest, the majority of this squad just isn't good enough.
This season is panning out how I thought but the step up in class is still bigger than I anticipated.

Not starting o hare is a fucking joke, he’s the only one that can create anything

Can you not see it ? To me he’s lost the players they ain’t interested he’s lost the plot his team selections alone show he’s lost

See my reply to Dom. I'm always wary of the lost the players, lost the dressing room angle.

It seems to get thrown around at every club who is struggling.
3 teams came up from league 1, all struggling. You predicted it would turn out like this same as a lot of us.
If Roterhamand Wycombe were flying some of these arguments might hold water but they're not.

I’ve watched Rotherham a bit tbf and their fighting just like Wycombe are when their doomed,Ainsworth was kicking every ball with his team against us...it’s body language you can’t look at our players and management and tell me their ready to fight ?

My only hope now is Kelly fadz coming back in to lead us into battle

Not every manager is animated. Being a good manager is not dependent on the man in charge jumping up and down on the touchline.

Looks good for the cameras though

Robins is not a great man manager I don’t think anyway we are seeing it now the players are flat don’t look like they want to be out there...

What’s that down too? Surley comes from management down no ?

Rotherham had a decent little spell but are still bottom 3 despite that.
There are very few wins among the bottom 10 teams in the last 6 games so no one down there is performing wel, though we are second bottom of the form table currently.

We've gotta find a way to scrape a few more points out but I think we can do it.

A good indicator is goal difference Rotherham will be clear,Birmingham fixtures don’t look bad either and we are playing like we don’t wanna be out there with a manager who’s lost....I get it some people ain’t got it yet but come Monday It’s gonna be sinking in,hope I’m wrong

Or we could be all but safe in two weeks.
Mondays game is massive, I don't have a good feeling about it though.

Do you really think the step up has been that seismic between top of L1 and bottom of Champ? I’ve been horrendously underwhelmed by the bottom third in the Championship and feel that we had a real opportunity to have done so much better than we are this season. I suppose this is where my, and many others’, disappointment stems from. I appreciate that we’ve had poor luck with injuries this season but still could have made a better fist of it than we have thus far.

Yes the bottom 8 or 9 have not been great at all and we should be surviving in the league

If we stay up he has to be told that next season he has to show more intent in games to win rather than accept the draw. It's those draws against teams around us that could ultimately be our downfall.

There's a fine line between respect and fear. MR is giving the impression of fearing our opponents rather than respecting them and this is rubbing off onto the players.

I think it is a big step up. This season is panning out exactly how I thought it would and if we stay up I'll be delighted.
Look at some of the business done my those around us, Forest, Blues, Derby. Thats what we're trying to compete with.

I did say couple of months ago we need a couple of seasons to evolve the squad but I don't think we can afford to do that now, if we stay up it needs a total over haul in the summer

So if we’re chatting in a group in a pub and I say I think it’s time for a change or any opinion you disagree with, you’d call me a c**t? How have you got by without fighting every time you disagree with someone if that’s the case?
What’s your obsession with pubs? 😂😂😂
