Absolute horseshitIf we weren’t for the cup run then Robins would be taking some serious heat across the board right now.
no he wouldn'tIf we weren’t for the cup run then Robins would be taking some serious heat across the board right now.
What a load of bollocks.If we weren’t for the cup run then Robins would be taking some serious heat across the board right now.
NoNah, I think he would. I should add, I don’t think criticism of Robins is warranted at all. But with our league campaign basically over then were it not for the cup run we’d be four days into the season post-mortem on here. Given how much people freak out every time we lose a game, do you really think people wouldn’t be talking about whether we’d gone backwards since last season etc.?
Doug asked for a cup run. Arguably if we hadn't had those extra games, we might be in a better position.Nah, I think he would. I should add, I don’t think criticism of Robins is warranted at all.

I think there’s a very plausible alternate reality where we lose honourably to Wolves, get much the same results in the league, and we sit here today with fans moaning that we didn’t achieve anything and it’s Robins’ fault that the season is already over etc etcDoug asked for a cup run.

The temptation of European football might keep him at the clubAnd O'Hare might score/assist the winning goal.
TSx
You can’t rely on just 2 goal scorers. Iirc, Robins spoke of needing 3.5 goal scorers in the starting eleven (defined as 10+ goals) back in the L2 days.
After Wright and Simms, who are our consistent goal scorers in our team? Perhaps Sakamoto or COH at a push. We need an AM and a winger to reliably add goals and as things stand, outside of Simms and Wright (and COH going), there isn’t a lot of goals in the team.
Next season, you’d expect EMC to be another goal scorer and you’d expect a 3rd striker option because Godden has been toothless since September, unfortunately.
O'Hare has got 9 in all competitions despite missing the first 25-30% of it. Saka on 7 in 29. TBF, we're not a million miles away from having something like that already but yeah, EMC will hopefully add a more reliable goal threat.

Most people accept that last season was a "fluke" as we had 2 brilliant players (1 of whom is likely to be at a massive club come next season) who were player at the top of their ability. We may not be as good but we are more balanced, we own the first XI so we don't have to do a rebuild again and we heading in the right direction.Nah, I think he would.

I am not sure it gets mentioned enough...that brilliant player possibly going to a massive club....where was he 3 years ago? on loan to us I think had a total of 30 championship games (Swansea 11) 19 for us total goals in the 30 was 3 and NO assists. Many people on here were gob smacked and annoyed when we signed him on a perm deal and now 3 not quite 3 seasons later ..... in Robins we trust ....Most people accept that last season was a "fluke" as we had 2 brilliant players (1 of whom is likely to be at a massive club come next season) who were player at the top of their ability.

You get a few zoomers yes but just are happy with how we are going along.
The only thing that would be certain, would be that Ann Proctor-Brown would be back.
With Ann though, AI stands for Asinine Intervention.Ann is one of the most exceptional works of AI I've ever seen, able to analyse football results and intervene with perfect timing every time.
I was thinking more, An IdiotWith Ann though, AI stands for Asinine Intervention.
Had a feeling he was going to miss. Shame as I thought he was excellent at times.
Called both pen misses at home before they took the run up. Just vibes seemed off.
Absolutely. Sheaf looked knackered and with reason. I was worried that he was taking one but deserves respect for not backing out.Tbf to them both they both had a massive pair of bollocks to be taking them after 130 minutes against premier league opponents. sheaf I'm amazed he stepped up. He was out on his arse at 80 mins to get through 130 odd minutes and still have the guts to take one, full respect.
To be fair to all of them you go from the elation of winning the game, to it then being cancelled and you taking the second penalties in front of the other fans.Tbf to them both they both had a massive pair of bollocks to be taking them after 130 minutes against premier league opponents. sheaf I'm amazed he stepped up.

Oh nothing against the players. Though Cals was a dreadful pen. Just weird how you can tell. Same with Dabo last year.
Exceptional composure.Torps penalty was ridiculous btw. To put it top bins in that environment is unreal.
