Seeing some solid primary evidence in this thread of the wider effect of our poor form. Momentum built from last year in terms of the fanbase is rapidly disappearing, not that I can blame people at all.
Our identity and way of playing was largely to sit deep with essentially 6/7 defensive players, then pass to Hamer/Gyokeres and let them do their thing. Much simpler tactically than whatever Robins seems to be trying now.
Really? He was a one trick pony to begin, unbelievable pace but as soon as defenders worked out he only had one foot it was over.
The drop to L2 suited him though, sad that he was robbed of what looked like an exceptional season.

Rotherham - L - Lost to previously winless Wednesday this weekend
Bristol C - L - Manager sacked
Norwich - D - Lost every game since
Blackburn - W
QPR - W - Manager sacked
Your idea that we can somehow hope to sign another Vik and Hamer for £1m each is ridiculous.
If we continued with that approach it would be 10 years before we found similar quality players.
Didn't get us promoted though did it.
We had 15 & 20m pound players in the squad for the final. If we want to go one better we need to sign more players of that calibre, and that involves spending money.
