Trouble is that our manager doesn't like a cup run.

Except if the reason you're unfit is due to an injury sustained during the course of your employment.

I'm surprised that the managers of teams that have gone up don't seem to be under undue public pressure (apart from Heckingbottom possibly).

Fair point, It's a bit of a different situation though. If we'd gone up then Vic and Gus would maybe still be here wheras we've had to do a rebuilding job.

If we had beaten Luton and were now 18th in the premier league, would Robbins still be here?

If we're winning games it's not an issue. Otherwise it's another excuse for losing.

...and weighing it up against the additional amount he'll be asked to spend in January.

Thing is our recruitment does look poor and many on here have criticised the recruitment personnel. Why would it be any different in January?

Simply for balance - If we lose we'll be 9 points behind. We're 19 points off 2nd place.

Did I say that?

Because a short term contract extension gives the injured player one less thing to worry about during his rehabilitation and makes him grateful to the club rather than thinking that his employers are a load of bastards. In the grand scheme of things it wouldn't have cost a lot would it?

Not necessarily. If Burnley get relegated and Kompany moves on (pushed or jumps) then the situation changes.

It was hardly hysterical!

Perhaps not!

...and only 6 points above the relegation zone having performed abysmally against one of the teams in it. Still - don't want him out either, but you can take different positions using statistics.

That is the crucial thing. With all due respect what does Doug know about picking a manager (or anyone else at the club for that matter). It's a very rapid way to blow a lot of money in a short space of time (which we have already done once) because inevitably a new man/woman will want to...

Work is the curse of the drinking classes.

Last time I go on holiday and 'watch' a match on here. It can't have been as bad as you're all saying.

Ellis Simms.

Not sure we'll get a good cup run - Robins doesn't seem to think they're important.
