What manager doesn't?
What manager doesn't?so before tonight robins hasn’t raised his concerns and disappointment with lack of players through the door?
I believe our squad is better or as strong as the other teams competing for the 6th place.

Think our first XI probably better than those, squad not. We don't have the depth to cover injuries.our squad is better than West Brom, Norwich and I assume you meant hull. I hope that’s a joke because it’s clearly not
I’m sick of hearing about it to be honest - I do not doubt it’s a hectic schedule but you’d think we were the only side to play a Saturday/TuesdayPersonally think we, Robins included, talks about ‘rest’ far too often. I get it, the schedule is tough and we’ve had a few injuries. But it’s tough for every team. Get on with it.
Preston did tonight.
Hull are pursuing a shit or bust strategy. They don’t own many of the players and if they don’t go up this season then they will be back to square 1 come the summer.well hull look to have done well from going for it in Jan. haven’t looked back. Right players were there with the backing, hull look nailed on for the playoffs as a result of excellent jan business
Next two go one of two ways don’t they? Fuck up against Maidstone then hammered by West Brom and cry into our beer until May or grow some balls and win the both. No in-between. Been here before thinking the group look spineless and shit and we’ve turned it around.
Wouldn't say it would be rest, more protecting players from the chance of more injuries.Id stick the same team that started today out bar Saka obviously. Then keep anyone who doesn’t cover themselves in shit vs Maidstone. Rest my arse. They should be hurting and wanting ti get out there and put it right.
Why is it not? Explain please? Because we lost today? Are you stupid or something and just write for sake of it? Ask yourself the question and you might come up with a better reply!!!!our squad is better than West Brom, Norwich and I assume you meant hull. I hope that’s a joke because it’s clearly not
Be really interesting what team he picks for MondayThere's no way we are winning at West Brom with no Sheaf and Sakamoto.
We'll beat Maidstone, but there will be changes made and those changes will be with West Brom in mind - there will be no continuity going into that game and we'll get beaten there.
has our squad improved? torp an excellent player but our squad hasn’t strengthened. robins has called this out ever since the window closed
Exactly. We go again…..
Singers corner got us up to where we are and now over the seasons but they need to stop moaning about other support around stadium. They were a disgrace today and last few games too. Why have they gone so quiet? Me and my 2 boys sing our hearts out in family zone no matter what the score. If 30 secs of football defines our home support then give up seats for true fans. Rant over.
Yeah, mostly loans. That's what I mean, couple of decent loans in we'd have been in a much better place.well hull look to have done well from going for it in Jan. haven’t looked back.

Hull will quite possibly get a go in the play offs. We won’t and have to replace O’Hare in the summer whilst also still needing to strengthen elsewhere even after spending an obscene amount for this club.Hull are pursuing a shit or bust strategy. They don’t own many of the players and if they don’t go up this season then they will be back to square 1 come the summer.
By contrast we own almost all of our players …..we will add EMC in the summer and Robins expects significant other business too.
I know which strategy sounds the most likely to be successful and sustainable.
Hull might pull it off and if they do then fair play but it’s far from certain.
Got to hope gyokeres goes.Hull will quite possibly get a go in the play offs. We won’t and have to replace O’Hare in the summer whilst also still needing to strengthen elsewhere even after spending an obscene amount for this club.
Loans help you get over the line. Might even have avoided needing to play Sakamoto tonight
Loans didn't get us over the line last season and has lead to this seasons massive rebuildHull will quite possibly get a go in the play offs. We won’t and have to replace O’Hare in the summer whilst also still needing to strengthen elsewhere even after spending an obscene amount for this club.

Because we were using loans to form a good chunk of the squad last season as opposed to supplementing the core first team.Loans didn't get us over the line last season and has lead to this seasons massive rebuild
No doubt about that unless he too gets injured.Got to hope gyokeres goes.
You think it’s a dead cert?No doubt about that unless he too gets injured.
Loans are a huge gamble . We are all pissed off tonight but let's not get carried awayBecause we were using loans to form a good chunk of the squad last season as opposed to supplementing the core first team.
Tats didn’t pick up an injury through fatigue. He was picked because he’s one of our best players. If we had bought a loan in Tats would still have played.Hull will quite possibly get a go in the play offs.

He’s scoring for fun in a team that may well win the Portuguese league and go far into the Europa League too. Very surprised if he’s still there next seasonYou think it’s a dead cert?
This Mason Clarke deal looks a bit weak now on our side…. Especially for that money.
Robins said this was worse than Stoke.Just got home not read the thread so if any of this has been said I apologise….
very poor tonight, last time we were that bad was Stoke last season. What happened after?
First goal, what were we doing.? Nobody up the field waiting for the ball to come allowing them to press the defence at will, corner knocked out why did the defence not push up? Tactically inept.
Second third goals very direct something we just don’t do.?
First half I thought Simms was the only person that had a decent half.
second half Palmer.
lets hope that was the low point but worse than the result was the tats injury. Not read anything yet but hope it is no where as bad as it looked.
I agree with the last part . Our best CB pairing is Thomas and Kitching and our best keeper is Collins .Tats didn’t pick up an injury through fatigue. He was picked because he’s one of our best players. If we had bought a loan in Tats would still have played.
I too would have loved a couple more additions but I don’t buy the whole lack of squad depth bullshit. We have much greater depth this year than last and we still made the play off final.
what we did have last season was a really settled back 3 for the final run in and Robins needs to choose his best back 4 and let them find some form.
We don’t have depth out wide, this is why Tavares had to start last week and why we have similar issues on the left if Wright doesn’t play there.Tats didn’t pick up an injury through fatigue. He was picked because he’s one of our best players. If we had bought a loan in Tats would still have played.

@GIMOC
Who decides the strategy of spending big money on players but not strengthening the numbers?
We've spent £6m on two players this window. He's bought an entire squad with less before.
One of our players kicked the ball again after kicking offWhat happened from kick off to give them a free kick?
Odd that he would keep praising Dennis Lawrence in that caseRobins said this was worse than Stoke.
More or less said that we could bounce back last year because we were good defensively. He's basically written off our defense with that statement.
