    Welcome Mark Robbins

    Someone should tell the players that!

    Welcome Mark Robbins

    The negative comments about Robins aren't as bad as the negative comments about Ince and Brown so he has to be the right person for the job. ;) When I trawled through the Barnsley forums most people said they thought he had done a good job. Always get a few who will say otherwise. I am very...

    Assuming Robins has been watching us play

    You would think he already has players in mind to bring in. Is Saturday too soon we think or will we have new recruits as soon as he takes his seat? Usually a new manager come in and assesses the players and squad and has a good look at them first. Can't see there's too much to assess though to...

    First win?

    New manager. You just watch those overpaid, nancy boy, strutting prima donna's play out of their skins to impress the new bloke on Saturday. Grrr, they do annoy me. :jerkit:

    Has the remit changed?

    True. The expectation from Thorn was play-offs. Just wondering if they are now expecting that from Robins this season.

    Has the remit changed?

    We need another centre back, some width, pace and another striker. Not much to ask for is it! :facepalm:

    Are our players really good enough?

    Wouldn't say he was silky but he's a ball player. His passing ability is really good and he seems to have intelligence on the ball. Not seen and grit or fight about him yet though.

    todays manager unveiling

    We could always chant at him "City's, City's number two, City's number two!" Just a gentle reminder that he wasn't first choice.

    todays manager unveiling

    I think we should all get t-shirts made to show our support on Saturday. The message emblazoned upon them should simply be "Thank fook you're not Ince."

    Are our players really good enough?

    I used to work with a guy. He was a great footballer. Silky skills, great on the ball, lovely touch, all the attributes you would want in a footballer ... Except he didn't like training and didn't put any heart into his performances. Was on Villa's books but ended up playing non-league...

    Has the remit changed?

    Well I would agree. Unless he fails miserably we've got to give him next season too surely.

    Has the remit changed?

    He's not got the same clean slate Andy Thorn was working with now though has he Musty. He is starting off from a negative position. And I know it's a target, Dave, but if AT was still here he would have been sacked had he not achieved that target come the end of the season, so therefore it was...

    Has the remit changed?

    Waggott and Fisher talked of the requirement target this season being top 6 and promotion. With us now bottom of the league they surely couldn't have told Robins last night that he needs to get us into the top 6 by the end of the season could they? That can't be his remit. Surely the goalposts...

    CET: Mark Robins will face city crisis after unable to agree terms with Paul Ince

    You've only said that because you saw the Paralympics on TV and thought I wouldn't mind having a go at that.

    What he said last night seems to have been proved to be correct. Our first choice couldn't agree terms.

    Are our players really good enough?

    The players ARE good enough, but we have the WRONG players. AT went for silky, good on the ball, skilful players (Jennings, Fleck, Barton) when we needed players with heart, grit, determination, strength and pace. The players are good enough as individual footballers, but they are not the...
