Think most in the squad are just feeling a lot of self imposed pressure and struggling atm to get out of there heads.

I think it’s always easier said than done though to move on. We don’t know Robins from a personal life and don’t know how important these relationships are to him. Losing your parents is one of the hardest times in anyone’s life imo. Add that on to running a professional football team and...

I get this to be fair, remember seeing Jay marking Moore against Ipswich last year at home and thinking what the hell we were doing. Either way though, think the issue was the lack of marking on the far post which I would assume was either Thomas or Binks?

Yeah seems odd tbh, Jack seemed fine at full time and Torp only got on for a few moments. Would assume most work would of been recovery and then rewatching the match and some warm up

We are away today mate. Just thought to say so you don’t turn up later 🤣

@Saddlebrains any truth in this?

Tactically yes and I’ve put across my viewpoints on the tactics this year. But more on morale there is only so much you can do on the touchline. You can’t exactly run on the pitch and turn someone’s head. This is why experience is key in every side.

Fair enough, can’t really comment on that was just noting that importance of leaders on the pitch who can raise heads when something silly happens.

Not Robins so can’t comment, but think out the three Joel appears to be the loudest and reads the game the best. Due to that, he can help position Thomas and Binks and not be exposed for his lack of pace which could cause issues if Milan loses the ball high up the pitch. Also as that’s a set...

The manager will be working with them with coaches. I thought we were talking about in games though as this seems to be the issue. It’s hard to build confidence with young players and like against Preston one silly mistake at a corner and heads drop. Robins is trying to get them more confident...

The manager can only do so much even on the sideline. If heads drop, a player needs to go to the squad and pick them up. After all without Goalie injuries, Robins only gets half time to get them all together.

To be fair you will of course get hits and misses regardless of how much scouting you can do. Badlan you can argue found us Hamer but also found us Dacosta, The German winger, and Waghorn. Even Gyok is a funny one, since it sounds like not everyone of the coaching wanted him and Robins drove...

Hoping we can get a clean sheet just to stop the rot in regards to goals conceded. With help defence confidence. Think we’ll nick a goal regardless based on what there fans are saying.

Just my two cents but think expectations went through the roof. After Everton I thought we’d be this years Ipswich. But it hasn’t turned out that way, think now the expectations are hurting a squad, who don’t have the life experience to pull themselves out of the rout atm. Think Robins...

To be fair he’s never had a squad this young before. It’s going to be new ground for him to make sure there heads don’t drop as it already has. When they get some confidence in them they will be up there with anyone in this league. Like Blackburn once the first goal went in, we went from...

Lati has to be the first name in the defence. I understand technically and all that people have reservations. But if he can continue to step up and emerge a leader for the lads, he’ll be worth being in the squad for that alone.

Do you think we could demand they wear the Tottenham away kit 🤣

Bidwell is a great shout as well. Additionally want us to get Liam on board. Not sure what’s going on there but he was a captain at Barnsley, there has to be a leader in there just need to draw it out. Easier said then done as always.

Think this is the big point isn’t it. Robins can’t help them on the pitch. It’s up to the players to motivate each other and keep heads up. Hoping Sheaf steps up as a leader sure he will the longer he is in the role, looks like Joel could start to stand up as one based on his interview and...
