They cut to rugby commentary instead

Agreed I said weeks ago he needs to be on the pitch to give us some aggression and pressing.

It’s curious. We’re playing with so much more freedom and positivity now. And players actually move off the ball! Also quite inventive with set pieces.

It looks worse

I think there’s more to it than that tbh. For example, he would always talk about focussing on what you can control not what you can’t, accepting there will always been change and challenges and not complaining about it. He was the perfect personality for what the club was going through...

One thing I’ve always admired about Robins is his stoicism.

Too competitive

Don’t like the marketing campaign but ultimately doesn’t matter if the car is good.

I’m not sure I see an issue with that in principle (although says they blurred the lines between charity and self so presumably implied book profits would go to charity?) but why anyone would buy the books is a mystery to me. Obviously a pointless cash grab.

Not me!

I bumped into him pissed up in Leamington eating a kebab.

No I meant in regard to me pointing out it could be read as contradictory to what Robins has said previously. You make a good point though, have to be cautious reading too much into off hand comments.

Didn’t Robins Not having a go before people start whining but didn’t Robins say Allen is one of the most intelligent at taking on board tactics? Of course, not knowing names doesn’t mean that’s not true, maybe he just doesn’t follow the league and just takes on the notes well in training. Hope...

Nobody is claiming it didn’t work.

Big mid 00’s vibes.

I’m not sure anyone has said it didn’t work. What sparked the conversation was the player saying it hadn’t been mentioned or worked on in training, which is odd as Robins later claimed he’d been thinking about it for a while. Maybe he had, and hadn’t got as far as preparing Rudoni for it, but...

Possibly been missed but I said above what I found odd was that he said he’d been thinking about it for a while. If it hadn’t been worked on in training then that seems a bit odd. No problem in principle with playing someone out of natural position.

Yeah and they clearly prepare for it.

I’m not claiming it doesn’t or that I have!

Nobody is saying it’s for no reason. It just comes across a bit ill thought out if it hadn’t been discussed/trained previously. The overall criticism about Robins and subs/tactics is not having a plan B and this still looks that way. Yes, sometimes you need to play a player out of position but...
