A bit of a strange one in the interview after last night.
"Building blocks"
Fair enough, but it should be abundantly clear to the coaching staff even Doug, that we need to supplement this young team with a spine of experience.
I always remember the ‘you won’t win anything with kids’ argument (Alan Hansen I think, aimed at Utd and their class of 92), however it’s feasible if there is a vein of experience in the team.
Personally, I can’t accept that we will be challenging for anything other than mid table safety for a few years, at the very least. We need seasoned personnel.

I'm pretty fed up of Robins excuses each week. The average age of the team isn't even that low. Infact the team with the lowest average age is Sunderalnd and they are top of the league.Fair enough, but it should be abundantly clear to the coaching staff even Doug, that we need to supplement this young team with a spine of experience.

It's odd from the owner really or the recruitment that they put the future profit on players at risk with this attitude to experience,and individual identity ( O'Hare) , spirit!Fair enough, but it should be abundantly clear to the coaching staff even Doug, that we need to supplement this young team with a spine of experience.

But surely he's talking about the squad isn't he? Why would he just talk about 11 players? And he obviously wasn't just talking about last night.I'm pretty fed up of Robins excuses each week.

Building blocks are bollox too as 8 out the 11 last night were with us last season.
AHH I've missed the "gelling" nonsense.But surely he's talking about the squad isn't he? Why would he just talk about 11 players? And he obviously wasn't just talking about last night.
We signed 7 new players in the summer.
That's a sneaky push in the back.
Who mentioned gelling?AHH I've missed the "gelling" nonsense.
Who mentioned gelling?
He's just saying we have the players to build a good side from.
Nothing to see here, please move along.
Nowt wrong with that sentence at all, but go ahead and knock yourself out over it.
Yup.This is starting to become abit tedious
Only 2 new outfield players started last night so why were we still so poor with no idea of tactics, no game plan, nothing. It was dreadful to watch. Its very, very clear to me that our style of play and performances over the last few seasons were down to Viveash and Lawrence, not Robins.But surely he's talking about the squad isn't he? Why would he just talk about 11 players? And he obviously wasn't just talking about last night.

Yup.
I am going to quietly withdraw from it all and look to post on some more sensible threads.
It has now been proven that last paragraph is tosh, they are proving to be less than average currently and all permutations have surely been tried now.Does this really warrant yet another thread, Nick?
Maybe we can have a thread for each sentence Robins uttered last night.
Surely this question can be asked in one of the already numerous threads we have going at the moment.
They are popping up all over the place.
I didn't find it strange, for what it's worth.
I think he's just saying we have the players in order to become a very good side going forward.
Even if you didn’t say it he’ll pretend you did.
I’m not sure that would help their resale value at the moment,It has now been proven that last paragraph is tosh, they are proving to be less than average currently and all permutations have surely been tried now.
I keep wondering if MR is being told by King to keep rotating the squad to constantly keep players in the spotlight for future sale.

How can he talk about building blocks when we don't even have a bricklayer? Once again, something that is ignored
Ordinarily I would agree but I honestly thought QPR were terrible apart from Chair. It was one we had to win in view of upcoming tasks .When you‘ve won 1 game in 9 and lost two on the bounce with a midweek away game, we just needed to not lose. To be frank, we had the better chances too so we can take a positive out of the game performance wise even if the result wasn’t ideal.
They were but when confidence is so low, you need something to latch into. QPR are also in a similar position to us you feel i.e. punching below their weight.Ordinarily I would agree but I honestly thought QPR were terrible apart from Chair. It was one we had to win in view of upcoming tasks .
I agree but as he has admitted himself,King knows little about football, he’s a financial guru and perhaps thinks if they are all getting a chance in the shop window, they will be noticed. At the moment they will be but for all the wrong reasons.I’m not sure that would help their resale value at the moment,
Again I agree but we have to negotiate the rest of this month and then at least two more before we can rectify anything.They were but when confidence is so low, you need something to latch into. QPR are also in a similar position to us you feel i.e. punching below their weight.
Robins has to extract what positives we can from the game. If one of the many Debby downers on here were managers, they’d be slagging players off publicly and moaning about the performance. Every player we have is not shit for god sake! We just need to add quality on defence and midfield and we’ll be back on track.
Jesus Christ we've spent £45M on players and after 10 games you reckon "we just needed to not lose" against bottom of the league who had last 4 on the bounce.When you‘ve won 1 game in 9 and lost two on the bounce with a midweek away game, we just needed to not lose. To be frank, we had the better chances too so we can take a positive out of the game performance wise even if the result wasn’t ideal.
That’s a cute statement.
