It's hardly like Simms and Wright had a great partnership last season. In fact I think they only rarely played together. Imo Wright has quality, but is a bit of a luxury player given his work rate and lack of engine. I'd still play him though. Simms has huge confidence issues, but is also very...

The whole point is you have to keep picking the same 11, even if some need time. Trust your judgement and give them 5 or 6 games. Use the rest of the squad for subs and to cover injuries. The trouble is now he is under real pressure and more likely to flap about.

I suspect at the moment a large majority of fans still back Robins. That may change quite quickly if we enter the relegation zone for a few weeks. My main problem with him is he still does not to know his best 11 and best style of play. His chopping and changing just drains confidence even...

It's just a strange thing to come out with as a highly paid manager of an underperforming football team. Can't imagine any business manager coming out with anything similar.

Lati is an intelligent guy who speaks well. He just needs to be a better footballer.

You invented a scenario, of Boateng taking over the reigns, and moaned about it. Exactly what you criticised others of doing. Anyone you seem in peak moan mode today so carry on you seem to be enjoying it.

You are the guy moaning about people inventing situations to have a moan, right? Lolz

I tend to agree with this. Losing to a poor Preston side, especially as we are approaching the relegation zone you are likely to get some negative reaction. And that can start to build into a bigger us Vs them problem. Robins should be experienced enough to have some common sense and manage the...

It might be fair to conclude that the reason some players can't understand the fan reaction to another loss and another step towards the relegation zone is that they just aren't very good players and have no real drive or aspiration. Good players hate losing and would be angry after a loss not...

I can't really see how we turn the corner other than Robins going and us trying a completely new approach. The problem is a new manager will want a war chest and I suspect we've spent everything on a bang average lopsided squad. With a few duds on good wages and long contracts. Doug will need...

Is he now Sako? Along with Sheafo, Simmo and the gang.

So what's the subs going to be on 70 mins? I'll go BTA for Simms then Wright for Norman on 85.

This is the sort of game we would have sneaked a win last year and will lose this year, isn't it....

They've fallen for the cunning plan.

Absolutely. My point was of course players hear and take note about what's said about them. Next we'll be hearing from FP that players take no notice of social media.... They just focus on what the manager says...

Well, when you are playing shit and approaching drop zone territory 'managing expectations' tends to turn up front and centre. It's not really a badge of honour for a manager.

I'm sure you're right when he tells the press the players are weak and cowardly they don't care at all. This forum when people don't understand basic human behaviour. Duh.

Obviously. Although it's not like they don't see the press statement is it?

Absolute nonsense.
