I was singing Robins’ name on Tuesday. I’ll always support him and the team at games. That’s an entirely different thing to expressing my opinion on whether he’s the right man for the job now.

As I said, the polls are more useful to me because thread discussion is easily dominated by a handful of users and not always representative of the general view. Maybe it is embarrassing. But the position we’re in as a club is pretty embarrassing right now.

They’ve had a much harder run of fixtures tbf.

Invested in facilities and a more modern coaching setup. Heinous crimes I know.

Big coaching teams are the future. I really don’t think anyone can argue with that, looking at the top teams in the world. I don’t think Robins has become a bad manager, he just might not have the right skills for that kind of system.

I think it’s been quite enlightening- threads often feel 50/50 on in or out while the poll shows very different.

Exactly why I made a poll. Silent majority and all that

Right so he gets another formation change and only then can he be sacked 🤣

System based manager who wants to move the ball forward quickly rather than focus on retaining possession, potentially playing a higher line to squeeze the opposition. Preferably good experience of first team management at a decent level. Although I wouldn’t be averse to recruiting someone who...

We have? Last two games has been a completely different formation and it’s not worked either.

Poor tactics manifest as poor performances. This binary view of tactics vs players performing is just nonsense.

Twice last night he beat a player in his own area. He looks unconvincing because there’s no movement and we have a donkey like Lati that need acres of space to control the ball. When the keeper has it in his own box you expect him to have 1-2 easy out balls and we very rarely did.

I think the thing is at this point is that he’s tried so many different combinations of players, and has now even switched the formation yet none of it seems to have worked. I worry that he’s lost the confidence of the dressing room to turn this around and that’s pretty impossible to get past.

Imagine if we hadn’t scored those stoppage time goals at Wolves last season. That Wembley visit is surely the only thing keeping MR in a job at this point.

Clearly it was 3 months of preparing for bad form 🤣

It’s a poll on a fan forum, it’s having 0 effect on anything

You’re supposed to sit down, shut up, and clap while the most expensive city team in history gets relegated. Otherwise you’re a shit fan.

Well there wasn’t one after Preston, so no. He had an international break to work on things and then two very winnable games. Even if you discount Preston because of our record, I just don’t think either performance or result was good enough. We’ve changed the system but it’s not helped. I...

Robins was not on holiday for 3 months
