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

Fans speculating about your job is part of being a manager.

Yeah except I’m not managing a championship football club.

Feels like the opinion might be starting to shift significantly.

No idea how you could watch that last night and think Thomas is near the top of our list of issues. Lati was 10x worse for a start.

Not sure what other people are watching tbh. The defender cut off the pass well. At the time I never expected him to pass it.

Robins really knows how to manage a keeper doesn’t he And what was going on with those roll outs. All our players statuesque looking at Dovin. So fucking weird.

How will it get better then? You seriously believe a 1-1 draw at bottom of the league is anything to build on? The players look like they have no idea what they’re supposed to be doing. We don’t even have the basics of a coherent tactical approach.
