True, but McSheff is supposed to be a goalscorer? I agree with what you're saying, but on the point about Barton coming on when the game is won: you can only impress in the time you're on, he's done well every time he's come on, his assist to McG was very good which killed the Colchester game...

You say clawed back 3, but how many times have we conceded first? We score 1st in most of our games, which is encouraging, I also think the old habits of the 'ancient regime' ae being eradicated, throwing away wins and conceding late on etc.

Do you think our team now is better this season or the last? 2011/2012 (how I'd play it): -----------------------Murphy------------------------- --Clarke*------Keogh-----Cranie-----Hussey-- ------------------------Clingan----------------------...

The fact remains, he lost 3 winnable games, 4th v Tranmere I wasn't surprised to lose. I thought his squad selection was a sick joke. Kilbane LM!? Brown on the pitch!? Elliott? Losing 4-1 to Shrewesbury... More out of his depth than Thorn, when he moved from the diamond to 4-4-2 was it for me.

I would label him a failure - for sure. I feel Shaw made a massive dent in our hopes of promotion as the effects of that regime made it difficult for MR to start with, hence his post match comments v Carlisle. I feel the draws v Yeovil and Sheff U weren't too bad, Yeovil got off to a flyer...

I was relieved when he was sacked tbh, I thought he should've got sacked at the end of the season, when he was staying on I gave him chance, and I was frustrated to see us drop 3 straight leads, and only play well for periods, team was 'gelling' as they say, but it wasn't good enough. The...

I never said their admin was undeserved. Donny didn't get tanked every game. There were a lot of things AT did wrong, but, who's to say other managers wouldn't make similar mistakes? We dropped many points from winning positions, that was bad, a ridiculous amount in the last 15m, I blame...

Completely agree bar the pacey winger part, I feel end product prevails over raw pace. Christie is very good, needs to improve his crossing though, he does, however, make it up as he can cut onto his left and score. I think Clarke's cross for the 3rd was v good, ever since Barnsley (under...

Hopefully, he, along obvious others are shipped off.

So would that mean keep Baker out? We won yesterday with Barton AMC in Robins' words "our best performance of the season".

He isn't doing that well, he's scored 1 league goal? Barton should get the nod. Better goal scoring record this year (Barton 10 starts 4 sub, McSheff 9 start 6 sub) Barton and Moussa are our joint 3rd goalscorers in L1 (Ball got 3 but 0 in L1). Source: actim index

It is impossible to say for certain if we would've stayed up or went down last year if AT had been sacked, unless you can rerun history, which we can't. We can only guess. I think we probably would've went down, the only thing that made it close was Pompey going into admin. We had Platt...

It was aimed at people at people who felt we need a 100mph winger to do well. I agree with what you're saying, but I think we have one of the best, if not the best midfield in the league, Baker scoring for fun as well as chipping in for assists, Bailey same with assists, Jennings is a...

I watched Raheem Sterling, Liverpool V Villa yesterday (free ticket)... He was awful, took it round the full back once, tbf, Liverpool were awful they had 27 shots (I was surprised at that figure) and didn't look like scoring (even tough did) awful, I wasted time up there! Wish I went Donny instead.

It is quite amusing I haven't seen the phrase 'pacey winger' in a while on this forum. Now to the point of the thread, I think our recent form proves we don't need 100mph wingers, we have technically good wingers in Moussa (who tbf, has pace) and Baker, who have surprised me greatly, have got...

That's your opinion, but the prevailing opinion was to appoint Thorn, he did well and deserved a shot, it didn't work out and it was apparent he was out of his depth, but if we hadn't of appointed him, there'd be people sat here now saying 'shitsu' (sounds like the dog, aha) should've kept AT...

I think the topic is dead now, IMO, we're in a new era, the Mark Robins' era, which will hopefully be an era I can speak with pride about in the years to come.

Lets get a fat mess to replace the dynamic McG, seems sensible :facepalm: there's a reason he plays for Hartlepool.

It was in the CET, that he was going to get sacked at the end of last season, but AT made promises that it'd all change if the board do their part, which, tbf, that didn't happen in our relegation season, so this summer, the lard backed him, we brought quality players, season starts, we make...

Wasn't you an AT defender until recently? I rest my case. Hindsight is brilliant, I don't think many managers would've wanted to manage us last season, this yea we were more attractive to manage in a way A) great L1 squad B) great rep if you do well with CCFC this season (revival etc.)
