Simms gets dropped after scoring for a 19 year old who’s yet to score. Wright hauled off at HT for EMC who’s done absolutely nothing of note in a city shirt. I wonder why they’re not performing.

Well that’s part of the problem, Robins has no idea what his best team is.

I’m not sure I agree, he’s looked better this season, more presence. In any case, Robins didn’t even start him at the weekend. We definitely needed another signing in central midfield but I’m not sure that’s our biggest issue.

Can anyone say they think we’re getting the most out of our players right now? I think the frustration is coming from the fact that the limiting factor no longer seems to be the quality of our players.

Wright was crap yesterday but still looked more threatening than EMC. He’s got no pace so unless we are dominant and he’s receiving the ball in and around the box I’m not sure what he can do.

Realistically we’re going to lose on Saturday (that would be a tough game even if we were in great form). He’ll probably pick a defensive lineup so it won’t even tell us much. Then we’ll lose at Preston because it’s Preston. Wouldn’t be surprised if we only get 3 or 4 points in the next 4...

Just wrong, he’s looked better this season. I think to blame him for that second goal is too much. Is a central midfielder really supposed to be defending wider than a full back? We don’t know what they’re being told tactically so we’re just guessing really, but to me that looks like poor...

Who’s dross? Dovin, Rudoni & Bassette look like good additions individually. BTA would be fine as a rotation player. Mason-Clark is the only one that looks worryingly bad.

Tactics for the Spurs game were easy as we were playing entirely reactive and just hitting them on the break. I think what we’re seeing is Robins struggles to set up a team tactically to dominate a game and break down the opposition. We have basically no patterns of play, I’ve no idea how the...

who could possibly have forseen that an average winger from a mid table a league club wouldn't be up to championship level

No, we can't start chopping and changing keepers again. Dovin needs to know he's trusted and won't be dropped after one mistake/poor game.

On what evidence will EMC be a very good player? For a start, he doesn't seem to have any pace. When he does get away from a defender they're right back with him within a few strides. His shooting has been dreadful - at range they end up in row Z, and he's not been at all clinical from closer...

BTA caused us massive issues today, he was playing so narrow. Second goal doesn't happen if we have more presence on the right hand side. He's not a winger. Unless the bloke from Australia is any good we're short there again. Which begs the question why we spent multi millions on two backup...

Not sure I've ever seen Robins that frustrated, the words, the tone, the body language. And directed directly at his own players too. That'll go one of two ways. Either it fires players up and we improve, or he loses the dressing room and then it will be curtains for him.

Who's starting instead of Wright then? EMC? He looked like a pub player today.

How good is Robins tactically though? I’m starting to think we need a manager who is ready and able to implement a truly modern tactical system. Some of the decisions Robins is making really don’t suggest he has a consistent tactical idea.

Only 2 of the starting XI today were new signings and Rudoni was one of our best players. Docin’s done nothing wrong either. We have some quality players, as we saw last season, just not getting anything out of them.

He’s lost. Needs to sit out for an extended period.

There’s no plan. Starting the same team as Wednesday was a joke. You can see we have individual quality in parts (although EMC looks a terrible buy) but there’s no cohesion.

By? Sounds like bollocks
