Patterns?! Fuck me. If you're looking at patterns why not look at the pattern of the last 2 seasons when we had similar starts to this season? Or does that not fit the agenda? And have all the other teams sold everyone they bought pre 23 24 or have they also retained some of those players ...

For me, been in the play off shake up post Easter is what I consider to be a successful season. Some people may say that's setting the bar low, but I think it's realistic and if we can do it consistently eventually we'll prevail in the play offs

I bet you can find a quote like that from at least 15 other managers in this league. And why wouldn't you think like that when Luton and Ipswich gave got out of this league in the last 2 seasons, but theres still only 3 teams going to achieve it, and realistically 2 of them will be in receipt of...

Why, when you were melting down at the start of last season, didnt you bring up the results from the end of the previous season? Same as trying to throw last seasons transfer spend in with this season, it's hilarious to be honest

Forums been overrun by Mike Bassett multis!

Used to have a weekend of excess there every year mate, too old for it now!

So the man who brought us success has to adapt to the structure pushed at him? That's working out well isnt it? And how long do we have to wait for this performance directors improvements to kick in? And it's great how people use Brighton was an example when it suits.

It's Robins. But no one, despite what you and Nick say, is absolving Robins of all blame, read the threads. But you're absolving the performance director of any responsibility for performances! And even to give her her due, same as Robins, we're o lying 7 games in, talk of getting rid of...

I thought the performance director was their to improve performance?

He'll be off if he carries on. Think McKenna will hook him

And it's still possible, we've been here before. I'm not so hopeful at the moment but plenty of time to turn it round.

We've spent a fortune for us, but it's not that much in the Championship scheme of things. As Brighton said we're underperforming, that's without question.

Without doubt, so why do people need to pluck bullshit figures out of the air to try make a point?

We were 8th highest net spend last season And I'm sure of the 5 above us left, (2 have gone up), they also have players that are still there so it's pretty hard to quantify. So if you're going to conflate our spend over 2 seasons you have to do it for everyone else. Without doing the maths I'd...

We haven't spent 40 or 50 million this season though. If you look on sites that monitor these things most have this seasons spend down as 15 - 17 mil. And have us as 7th highest spenders. Another conflation of 2 seasons, just like tagging on results!

He doesn't. And I've not seen one person say he should stay if we suffer 2 relegations But he definitely deserves more than 7 games.

Well Robins has had plenty of criticism over his su s, the idea he gets a pass on this isn't true. That's down to him.

I don't think she did, no. I'm refusing to tag on last seasons results do for me, yes, it's 7 games. As I said, I looked back at some match threads from this time last season, groundhog day but without the previous seasons results tagged on. If we weren't doing it then, why do it now? I'm...

Welcome to the EPL

But again, what else is he going to say when asked? Of course he's going to say something positive. And as for no criticism of Robins, he's getting loads, especially for dropping Dovin. But there's a huge difference between criticising and wanting him gone after 7 games of a new season...
