The stoke forum is full of Stokies calling for Robins head. Another deluded fanbase who think they are a big club and have the right to be top. All those trappy Stoke fans giving it big when they beat our reserves in the cup are now missing in action

In fairness to them, I think their resentment towards their club runs deeper than Robins.

Only have to look at their owners net worth and question why they’ve been treading water since being relegated. Of course he has no given right to splash his cash but looking at their recruitment and spend over the last few seasons to put it lightly it’s pretty uninspiring.

The owner has put in as much as he possibly can hasn't he? I'm sure he's been one of the ones campaigning to just fuck FFP off as he wants to just spunk as much as possible to get them up.

 

[MikeyMoo]

Has the Robins late play-off run just begun?

No, no it hasn't.

 

[coop]

Would a draw for Ipswich and Boro today,or both lose.Best results for us.

Said it before they recruited Robins, they need to get a manager in and give him time to build.
Their constant churn of managers has got them nowhere.

If they don't think Robins is the man (though I think he's as good as any) then they need to get the next appointment right and give him a chance to build and develop the squad

 

[Sky Blue Wozza]

Blackburn win and an Ipswich-Millwall draw will do me today. If Ipswich don’t win, it’s going to be hugely deflating for them.

 

[clint van damme]

So then, just the 7 hours of unbearable tension today, starting at 12 30pm!

It's tough at the top!

 

[coop]

The best thing is no matter what's happens today we are still top till Easter. Like you say its tough at the top.

 

[mmttww]

Two weeks everybody

It's definitely getting more stressful as each week ticks by.

Earlier in the season I wasn't that bothered about other results, but now we're all sat here trying to work out every permutation and result possible, will be so good to breathe again when we're over the line!

 

[shepardo01]

Ipswich will beat Millwall.

 

[jas365]

Ipswich will beat Millwall.

Yeah I agree, a draw would be perfect though. Got a sneaky feeling Boro will draw as well.

 

[David O'Day]

Ipswich will beat Millwall.

maybe, not certain though as Millwall will get into Ipswich and they really don't like that

 

[TomRad85]

Ipswich will beat Millwall.

Every time you say Ipswich will win, they don't let's hope the streak continues.

 

[thekidfromstrettoncamp]

Ipswich will beat Millwall.

"wanna bet"

 

[shepardo01]

Honestly in weird way, that is what I'm hoping!

 

[clint van damme]

I don't think that's weird.
I'm hoping for a draw, but if someone has to take the 3 points think I'd prefer Ipswich.

I just think they've got a really tough April and there going to drop a fair few points.

 

[covcity4life]

But if Ipswich and millwall draw I wouldn't begrudge the players having a few beers before the Swansea game as promotion will be CLINCHED*













*Not really

 

[Ipad Boro]

I don't think that's the case.

Mark Robins was tailor made for us. Lampard is a very good manager that would overachieve at most clubs.

In either case, it was still great result for you.

Prior to Cov though, he didn't overachieve at most clubs. Of course a point could also be made for what he's learned since then.

 

[Travs]

I think Boro and Ipswich win today. Not a clue how we get on.

Would prefer Millwall to get something, but if they do lose, we're probably down to three autos contenders.

Argument that he over achieved first season at Chelsea getting top 4 with transfer ban and having to play more eofnthe younger rplayers

I understand what your saying though. I was probably lampard from start but many on here were doubting him from day 1 so I dunno why they are having a go at you now lol

Boro and Ipswich winning is worst case scenario

Think we need to be very happy if that can be avoided in any way.

I guess glass half full means it pretty much eliminates Millwall from title contention at least

if i remember right you said he would be a really poor appointment

 

[covcity4life]

Nope that was you saying he would be a disaster and to mark your words

 

[Ccfcisparks]

mark them. he’s done nothing yet.

See I'm the other way round.

Not in the draw, I'd prefer that above all else, but if there has to be a winner I'd probably prefer it to be Millwall, just for their lack of a game in hand and lower GD affecting their possible "reach".

Also from our perspective, we could feasibly draw the next 2 games (where our numbers could be severely depleted, especially in midfield) either side of the international break and would still be above both with that (assuming the Wall don't beat Ipswich by a margin of 13 goals which is ridiculously unlikely) going into the last 6 games which include Sheff Wed for us, but not the other two.

I'm sure most of your fans would be over the moon with that run of results tbf, that is the sides in 2nd, 3rd and 4th being on 72, 72 and 71 points in 2 games time!

That being said, there's other permutations for us, such as how a win at Portman Road would affect Millwall's spirit going into their next game against us...It's bloody complicated this championship results lark!

Look at Millwall's run of games after they play Ipswich and yourselves, it's pretty darn good. Hoping for them to beat Ipswich is a big case of buyer beware I think.

Maybe

But they are still a squad that's not as good as Ipswich's and not favoured to finish above them.

I'd rather Millwall win if there has to be a winner

As good as the Ipswich squad is on paper it hasn’t matched those expectations all season and their remaining fixtures are pretty tough.

They are I don't disagree. I just still see them as the biggest threat to us however

I hope Ipswich Millwall is drawn. We beat Swansea.You stuff Millwall.We both open up a bigger gap and let them fight it out in the play offs. Best of luck.
Dream over back to reality.
Enjoy the ride.

I think it's fair to say he was probably par with his prior clubs. His experience of Championship playoffs, Champions league and top 4 premier league and a premier league relegation battle has definitely taught him a lot though.

I don't think he was a manager on the way down, more so a manager that ascended too quickly.
