Not sure of the impact BTA will make or him alongside Wright. Certainly a good chance to show what he can do.

Tonight will be largely about bravery. Some of the players look scared as hell. Scared to do anything other than pass back, scared to take anyone on or make themselves available for a pass. Let's see what they're made of.

Yeah the problem is the other one often seems more motivated than ours. Especially in the first half.

I expect us to start strong. We need to score in the first 30 mins or so else it could turn into a fizzle and fans getting on their backs.

You would hope that players at this level (and money) would at least have the motivation and self pride to get really fit. Looking like a dead dog after 30 mins and not doing basics like pressing, supporting team mates, moving to make yourself available for a pass is plain embarrassing. Wright...

Preparing the team, picking the team, picking the formation and tactics, motivating the players, making subs is all about Robins. And he's failing. After being given a load of money.

You literally said Robins should have a job for life and you'd hand back your season ticket if King sacked him. Of course Robins isn't going to say he can't do it and walk, it would cost him a fortune. They will agree a form of words and he will go amicably. I suspect at the end of the season.

No idea if any of those stats are true, but we are in the Championship, a high level competitive league. It's very unlikely Torp will make it. Rudoni and Kitching were both in relegation teams from this league. Rudoni is nothing like COH. EMC is not 'elite', lots of development needed, we'll see.

If King sanctioned 'a job for life' for Robins irrespective of performance on the pitch, failed targets or money supplied he wouldn't be doing his job. King's job is to drive this club forward not to be some dizzy fan boy. I suspect Robins will be gone by the start of next season. Go and...

Absolutely. It's obvious isn't it? But as someone said above with a squad tinkering is a temptation. But start with the strongest 11 and use the squad for injuries and subs if really necessary.

I'm not defending Wilson's performance, he reverted to panic mode. I'm questioning that Collins and Dovin would have saved all the goals. They haven't looked great, obv Collins.

Yeah they save everything. They are great. Clean sheets every game. Jeez.

You'd think our best 11 should include Simms, Wright, Saka, Rudoni and MVE. Simms and Wright remain an enigma. I personally think they both care but just haven't got the fitness or athleticism to do what Robins wants. He takes that as not doing what he asks. Why they can't seem to gain real...

Fundamentally we sold our quality players and have bought in quantity on a hope and prayer. That isn't working out. The likes of MVE and Wright probably want out, those dropped are carrying bitterness. Confidence in the coaching team is no doubt low. Not sure how things radically improve at...

He really has to choose and repeatedly play his best 11. Just use the squad to cover injuries. We aren't good enough to chop and change.

That would cost him a fortune. So he will come to an agreement to move on amicably.

Tbh the way this is likely going to play out is Robins leaving amicably next summer after a very hard year. But Doug has a touch of the psycho so who knows.

Robins messed with the team (again) and formation to defend as much as in this game hoping to scrape a draw. All it's done is to confuse and drain confidence even more. FFS decide what your best 11 is and play them every week until they get an ounce of confidence and the basics back.

Can't see us doing anything going forward with that team. Gonna be a long afternoon defending. Quote me....

That's pretty silly TBF.
