the only fans who are prepared to give our manager and team the time he needs to get us up to speed? I just had a quick scan of most of the bottom half teams boards and nearly all want the manager gone ( except Ainsworth) and a change of tactics and players. After last nights game, I thought we looked like we're nearly up to speed and played most of the game on the front foot, and the last goal Reading looked like we did a couple of weeks ago, nobody within 15 yards of McCallum.
We will be a shock to some of these teams and I'm expecting us to give Forest a surprise on Weds.

Watched forest against Luton they press high hard and fast we can’t be messing around at the back,most clubs haven’t been where we have in such a bad place to turn it round so fast that’s why we all appreciate what Mark robins has done

I think Wycombe fans are the only ones. There were calls for Robins' head before last night weren't there? Sure there will be next time we lose a few too.

We’ve been happy with the last 3 long term permanent head coaches, from start to finish what makes you think we’ll be any different with this one ?.

Even if it’s a bridge too far this season (which I don’t think it will be) and we go down-he should still be at the helm next season.
Can’t say I’ve seen/heard any of this Robins out nonsense myself.

100%, I’m guilty of knee jerk Robins moaning. Players obviously respect him and he does care about the club and fans!

Is any one calling for MR to be sacked?
I dont fucking think so.

I’ve got to hand it to Robins this week. At the end of Tuesday’s match when the game plan had totally failed, we looked demoralised and it was hard to see where points were going to come from this season. Heads were definitely down, so within a few days to tweak the formation and send the team out and play the way they did, with belief, bravery and togetherness was great management.

Erm we were hardly on the front foot against Reading sky blue blinkers - great result but they had a hell of a lot of the ball their goalie gave us two of our goals and their strikers were wasteful their main man could easily have walked away with the match ball instead of just one goal.

Let's not kid ourselves was a much needed three points but could very easily have gone the other way.

Not us, we by on large as a fan base tend to see the bigger picture, we’ve not had a clammer for the head coach to be sacked for over 5 years, the club is set up to play a curtain way, attacking, hardworking, energetic, high pressing football. And that’s what we get, because we recruit to that end. our last 4 long term head coaches have kept their side of the bargain, as it’s been evident to us fans as we watch the games, they’ve all done a cracking job with the players they’ve been given to work with, our frustrations are with our billionaire owners as they keep selling our better players.

I remember your fans definitely wanting Johnson out when he was your manager, and when Mowbray was our manager when we beat you 4-3 at the Ricoh. Ironically from that moment on your fortunes positively transformed while ours went downwards. Your fans got their wish though as he left for Bristol City a few months later, not that it affected you much as you still got promoted.

Yeah 5 years ago that game, as I say it’s 5 years ago since our fan base wanted a head coach sacked, he was probably the last one to be fully backed by the board throughout his entire stint as head coach, all the others have had their best players sold from under them before we finally cashed in on them theirselves.

That's true what you say. But on the other hand we were by far the better team vs Swansea and Bristol City.
