Feel that’s too easy to say tho especially when we have one of the highest squad retention in the league. Cracks were showing last year and don’t seem to have been addressed. After all it doesn’t live in a bubble, players carry through seasons.

Yeah I hear you on this. I think the issue is, you see so much it’s Doug fault, the new coaches fault or the performance directors, people just dog pile anyone. Understand his record and history in regards to why people want to keep him.

I think it’s more most assumed it was too do with the cup run and are now concerned that instead of seemingly getting better now the cup is over, it’s seemed to continue.

Isn’t this how it’s mostly always been done though. Scouts recommend players and managers and directors sign off? Nothing really new imo.

Annoying he didn't but he's young, wants to get his first. You see why he would try and smash it in. One of the positives I thought in the first 30 was how dangerous we looked on the break but think this fizzled out when Preston moved into a box which limited space up front.

Also I would add, we are not the same club we were before. We've spent a fortune in doing up the training, we spend large funds for where we are. I don't think managers wouldn't apply or be interested in the role if it came available. All though I'd hope if the club is debating the issue, they...

I know a lots been said about Doug but if I'm honest. I don't think he's up there to blame atm. Some weird decisions on the football side I get but 1) A performance director is pretty standard across multiple teams and serve the role of ensuring best methods and facilities as well as future...

Agreed

Same squad would rotate Torp for Rudoni, Wright for Simms and BTA for Norman (if Norman isn’t fit to start). We can’t keep changing the squad now

I don’t want to pull the trigger yet. I’ve laid out my concerns and hope I’m wrong. If you read what I was responding too it was a fan saying mark would stay if he relegated us to League two. Surely you’d agree you would move him on before that point. I don’t want to go back into the merry go...

So we should undue everything we’ve achieved as a club? How many people’s Jobs would be lost, all for the memories. We can’t let it happen again. Almost destroyed us the first time.

He’s allowed a shite season but what do we class as a shite season. If we lose on Tuesday, we will be in the relegation spots. Don’t think the group with the lack of leaders will find it easy to come back out atm.

Truthfully this is where I am with it. My big big concern with it all is that this is not a Traditional Robins squad. He’s always had experience throughout the side and big characters who manage the squad himself. He often said in the playoff year how good the group was at self policing...

All good shouts. Wilfried Nancy would be an interesting shout if he would come from the MLS. Plays a 3-4-3 which you could argue suits our squad as well.

To be fair, if Robins goes it’ll be a hard task for anyone let alone people like us who are fans of football. Sure the analytics would be able to pull a rabbit out the hat (or at least have blind faith they wouldn’t hire Russell slade 🤣)

Imagine Steven would have his own number two from his Plymouth and Stoke days.

Best we got is England IPad covers for the coaches 🤣

As good as the Conor Chaplin thread?

Mark robins as assistant?

I could be wrong but he played today way off it. Wonder if he’s over thinking due to pressure (think Saddle said something about the internal pressure on sheaf). Seemed to be snatching at shots and imo wasn’t as calm as normal in his passing
