I don’t think there’s an issue with the recruitment. It’s too early to judge players like EMC and we have to be frank, was MR getting the best out of these players? Probably not in the end and he may have just lost the group as a whole. With hindsight, the tinkering and changing formations was...

This isn’t a John Eustace-type situation. Birmingham we’re actually doing well last season. We’re not and haven’t been a long time. The debate was ‘can Robins turn it around?’ I don’t see Lampard lasting long in the role and it seems like a lose-lose for us. If he does well, he won’t stay long...

Disagree. This is a results based industry and over the last 30 games has been below expectations. Factor in rumours that both AV and MR had alienated players… The club changed drastically after the sale of Hamer and Gyokeres. We signed higher profile players and they need to managed...

I don’t think either acts were impulsive. Any other manager produces our form over 30 games and loses 8 of our last 12 home games would probably warrant the sack. Our loyalty to Robins is admirable, but it is a possibility that was holding us back. That’s not a view I personally hold, but I’m...

I disagree - this is character assassination of King. His first act at the club was to extend MR & AV’s contract and to give them a lot of money to spend. There’s a lot going on at the club clearly if our ‘ITKs’ are getting info that players have checked out and the ‘vibe’ isn’t the same from...

King is also unburdened by sentimentality which may prove to be good thing in the end. As loyal supporters, it’s a possibility our loyalty to a living legend blinded us I don’t think it’s egomaniacal to look at our recent form, particularly at home and be completely sure Robins was going to...

We still haven’t come close to replacing that quality and this is particularly evident this season. The manager needs to get quality players in this department asap - we’re no probably going to have to replace Sheaf and possibly Eccles in the summer too.

Was sacking Robins that dumb? The fan base would not tolerate our form over the last 30 odd games and 8 home losses in 12 from any other manager but Robins. I hold the somewhat contradictory view that a) I wouldn’t tolerate this form from another manager and b) I trusted and believed Robins...

He’s just not a CM at all and is too conservative on the ball. On the positive side, defended well in midfield.

This is a waste of a Saturday. We’re slow in attack and just ridiculously inaccurate in possession. Tragic defending again.

I’d take that too. It’s just not the most likely outcome.

Do you mean Jan 2025 or the start of 2025/26. I don’t like the idea of hiring Lampard and as soon as he hits a rut, the knives will be out. He had 2 good seasons at a Derby, Chelsea and he became a laughing stock.

I don’t agree, not after the performance against Middlesborough and Luton. The loss at Derby wasn’t a one off and pretty much all of our losses have come the same same way. I hate to say it, something is amiss with our tactical approach to the game, we look like England in the Euros without...

It’s the profile of team we were playing. We’ve just not been able to break down defensively disciplined teams for a while now. It was there to see last season and continued this one.

What do you mean by that specifically? The investment in the squad has been there and the results were poor at the tail end of this season when it was AV and MR at the helm. For arguments sake, if we had a manager who joined at the club at the start of 2023/24, we’d probably look at the end of...

Carsley played down the links in the press already.

That isn’t the conspiracy if there is one. Lawrence got a promotion, better wages and closer to home. AV more than likely got sacked for gross misconduct. As for Robins, the results haven’t been good enough for about 20-30 games. There’s too much emotive (and paranoid) POVs being banded about...

That’s a start, what do you mean by that specifically?

We can continue to go back and forth on this… If Trump truly this ugly racist and misogynistic far-right (or even ‘white supremacist’ figure) character, how has he successfully made significant inroads with ethnic minorities and women? It just doesn’t suit the narrative being put forward by...

Didn’t Trump win the Peurto Rican vote and increase his vote say amongst all ethnic minorities? The ‘Trump is a racist’ kinda worked in 2016, but his vote share with ethnic minorities has increased to record levels (GOP standards) in consecutive elections. Trump won the Latino vote so it’s...
