That’s true, but also not recruiting a midfielder and the restructuring made this season an uphill struggle

I agree, and if hadn’t have come off the back of two wins I would’ve got it, but if he had come to Sunderland today and got a draw a win, we would’ve looked at that as a good set of results over the 4 games. I just think he had more cause to get rid of Robins before those two wins, and he chose...

Also to add, why sack him after the 2 wins, yes we lost to Derby but we had improved and just one two on the bounce with a good comeback in one of them. In the statement it talked about performance over a period of time, why not do it after the 5 or so games without a win, the fans may not have...

100% agree, King should’ve never interfered with the playing side of the club. Along with all of the other stuff a football manager does, Robins connected with the fans and this has helped rebuild it from the lows of league 2 to where it is today with record season ticket sales. King has...

It’s very similar to the Mowbray season we dropped to league 2, recruitment was messed up. Though this time I don’t feel like it was the managers fault at all.

With the lack of signings in central midfield, the sacking of Adi, and the appointment of seemingly average coaches, I feel this season was decided by these poor decisions in the summer.

When King came in, I feared he would want to put his own man in charge. I don’t think he should have messed with the footballing side, we’d had several years of sustained improvement, he should’ve let Robins continue doing what he was doing, and sorted all the non football aspects of the...

For me, the only people who could take some of the bruising away from the way they’ve sacked Robins, is bringing in a playing legend to manage. Maybe someone like Doyle, or Kelly. not saying those particular, but someone who would connect with the fans as well. One thing Robins did and...

It is odd timing, being that we’d won two on the bounce, and seemed to have improved until last night. I think it was decided when Adi left personally, and that King was just waiting on an excuse, had a time in mind of when he would get rid of Mark

Statue for Robins

And he’s appointed Rhys Carr as interim head coach. What a brilliant decision that is!!!!

King is a disgrace. Since he’s come in we’ve gone backwards after the playoff final. Yes he has put money into the squad and training ground, but that’s only reinvestment from sold players, players who Robins developed. All of our success has focussed on Robins, since King has added coaching...

This is an absolute disgraceful decision by King.

It shows we were after people we were just unlucky

The problem is when you are struggling anyway, to have these poor decisions consistently go against you just makes it harder. A point today coming from behind would’ve given the players a massive lift and taken some pressure off. The poor decisions by the ref will mean even more pressure on the...

The referees costing us again, absolute joke, that’s how teams like Preston get away with it year after year

I feel like we might be in a relegation battle this season!

I think after Robins comments on mental strength, maybe certain players like Wilson are in for their resilience and ability to pick the team up

Real shame, as he was talented just didn’t push on and become consistent for us

I imagine we tried for some CMs but they’ve fallen through
