    Taxi cancelled for Robins

    From this it sounds like we are doing him a favour in allowing him to stay,as,with a click of the fingers we will have someone else in who is going to take us to 'the next level'. In truth, Robins has again shown what a good manager he is, battling through, even with the long term injuries to...

    We are safe!

    They'll be back next season as soon as we have lost one game in a row.

    Mark Robins

    I think Robins has been a fantastic manager for us, certainly the best in the past 20 years. Hard to say he is better than Milne or Sillett. However, he is still here, so who knows what he could go onto achieve!

    We'll have to agree to disagree. As the ultimate aim that season was promotion and (as with this season) lengthy injuries to key players, Jones, McNullty and Kelly severely hampered what he could do, I think he did really well. Just remember the juggernaut we had become in the seasons before he...

    I agree with most of that. I think that Barnsley have shown you can, sometimes, defy the odds.It will be interesting to see if they can do the same again next season if they don't m get promotion this time Brentford, with their own new stadium and a transfer policy that has netted them...

    If you look at the way we have played in the last two games, the tactics used were totally different to the way we played at the start of the season. We played ugly football, particularly against Barnsley, to get the results we needed. He was criticised during our 9 game unbeaten run earlier...

    This is a re-writing of history to suit your own arguments. The injury to Jones, who was our leading scorer and assist provider was a huge blow, particularly as it happened reasonably early in that season. It was an injury which severely restricted us as an attacking force. There was no...

    We lost 6-2 at home in a season in which we got promoted. They have just lost 6-0 in a season where they are going nowhere. As I said, it doesn’t mean Lowe isn’t a good manager, but I can just imagine the stick that he is getting from some Plymouth fans who can not accept anything but...

    Had to laugh at 16th place in League One Plymouth. Plymouth 0 Charlton 6. One of the ‘Robin’s is crap, we need him out’ brigade had Ryan Lowe down as one of the managers to come in and do a better job. I wonder what the reaction on the Plymouth forum was to Ryan last night and today? I’m not...

    If we stay up we need to acknowledge a job well done by the manager and the team. Robiins will have kept us up despite major long term injuries to key players, Godden, Kelly, Marosi, Rose, Walker and Dabo. We have managed for a good 50% of the season without our first choice strikers. He will...

    Not bad for a manager who is a muppet according to some.

    If Robins is a muppet I wonder what that makes the other ten of eleven managers we have had since PL relegation. Much sooner have a muppet who has produced 2 promotions and a cup win in 4 years than another of our merry go round managers.

    Can't wait to see the success we will have with Harris or Lowe.

    So that's 62 mins of the games he has been involved in. That would be a lot lower average for all of our games this season.

    The way we were playing last season we may well have been promoted, even with a ten point deduction. We were 7 points clear at the top with a game in hand, unbeaten in 14 and looking like we wouldn't lose again all season. And all of that playing in front of 5K crowds 20 miles from our own...

    As you know, even if that 10 points were added back on we wouldn't have been promoted. And that was a team containing Murphy in goal, Christie, Fleck, Baker (who despite what you say, was a good third division player), Moussa, Wilson and Clarke. Some third division team that playing in front of...

    The point was about last season. The fact that we still won the league playing no games at home is something else that those who think Robins is a poor manager choose to ignore.

    Unfortunately we haven't had a 'home' record for nearly two years now. Another reason why Robins should be lauded for what he has achieved.

    Rotherham - QPR

    Leicester were in front at one stage too. The 'as it stands table's (didn't exist in those days) would have had us down for part of the game.
