I very nearly bought the new PES yesterday as the reviews have been pretty good and people are saying it's almost a return to form. I've got FIFA winging its way to me in little under a week though so I surprised myself by resisting.
I'd hope that people don't get too impatient if the Robins regime doesn't fire on all cylinders immediately. The team of the matches preceding it deserve all the scorn, but tomorrow is like hitting a reset switch of sorts.
It doesn't necessarily paint Robins as a loan merchant. He took over outside of a transfer window for one thing, he doesn't really have too much in the way of choice.
All I need now is for that saucy pink goalkeeper kit to be slashed in price and this is a decent end to the week. Oh, and a result tomorrow would be ok too I guess.
I'd see it more as a challenge to their complacency than him saying they're no good outright. They still have the chance to impress, they just have to earn it more now.
