Surprised he didn’t get booed

Course they’ve played Tom Grennan, that song is shit too.

Assume there's no way to stream video? Want to catch the inevitable chair launching live

6pm sharp

I think the reasons are obvious, whether you agree with them or not is another question.

Is there an explanation that would actually satisfy you?

1) When? 22/23 we had 17 points from our opening 14 games, 2 better off than this season. 2) What evidence is there that we would, having missed them 2 years in a row?

And the entirely predictable answers would be: -We look set to miss the playoffs for a second year in a row, meaning the 3 in 5 seasons target now looks unachievable and I felt action had to be taken. -I did not feel it was right to negotiate with potential replacements while Robins was still...

Walking in a Lampard wonderland

I assumed the sacking was timed to get someone in ASAP and give them a bit of time to settle in over the international break. Would seem odd if that's not the case.

That was the aim, I'm just saying I'm not sure how the goalposts were moved for Robins?

First one - question is basically unrelated to your comment about being sad and angry. Second one - does anyone really think goalposts were moved?

Would be hard to squeeze them all in the dugout for a start

Realistically I don't think he's going to discuss signings or appointments that didn't happen. Wouldn't be very professional.

If you're being ruthless then 9th isn't good enough is it

That's about where we'd finish if we averaged playoff level ppg for the rest of the season. I think that's what most reasonable people said on the expectations thread. Target this season was top 6, so the new guy should average that kind of form for the rest of the season.

If we finished anywhere near 17th the new guy should get the boot, yes. Top half minimum, should be top 10.

On another point - 3 seasons in a row now we've had an absolutely honking start to the season. 22/23 we thought it was the pitch 23/24 we thought it was the squad rebuild 24/25 what's the excuse? The coaching structure conspiracy? I think that has probably played a big a part as anything...

The manager we had had us in 17th place. No one would settle for less than that.

hardly a free pass
