He barely started a match from Dec onwards …. Godden, Kelly et al leaving are not why we are struggling this season and if they had stayed they wouldn’t play. By definition they would not therefore have strengthened us.

He was a total passenger after Nov last year. He would be 5th choice this season.

Fighting for every ball, tracking runners, making third man runs, not giving away soft goals would all be an improvement …. It’s not all about passing fluidity. That can come later.

I agree but I’ll leave thinking we have more chance of building on it if we have played better rather if we have been poor again but scraped a win.

It’s not going quite to plan …..

Literally no one is saying this. People are saying we need to see signs of an improved team performance. Hardly reaching for the stars is it.

He would be brilliant for us.

That’s fair enough. Owners tend to take a longer term view than that, so do many fans.

I certainly think we miss leaders ON THE pitch. Most of those players were rarely on it and wouldn’t get in now. That’s my point.

I totally disagree. We are 10 matches in, not 5 matches from the end. How we play is important to whether we are turning the corner or not. Winning or losing on Saturday won’t define our season.

You don’t have to play like Barca to be effective or coherent ….. Luton proved that 2 seasons ago.

I think that might be a fans view but as the owner you are assessing whether the manager is working effectively with the players and whether you believe things will turn round. Being totally outplayed but winning 1-0 through an own goal ( to be extreme ) wouldn’t convince you of that.

The performance will be as important as the result for the owner I suspect. We need to show signs of becoming a coherent team.

Not true. He nearly left in the summer. West Brom are a mess behind the scenes.

We don‘t know that.

3 of that 5 barely played. The squad is not weaker for not having Kelly, Godden or Moore.

.i suspect the club thought Kitchin and Thomas were also battling types to be fair.

Well thought of in the game.

Ok. It appears I have. so what is your point ?

You implied it was distasteful to do so if it involves fans criticising Robins. On that basis yes you did suggest it was premature to do so.
