Trust me I would love to call for the manager to go as an easy fix, but I don’t see anybody coming in and changing our results with the depth in midfield. I’m just as frustrated as anyone with the terrible start.

No mate. The problem isn’t depth in midfield. We have plenty of that. The problem is we’re tactically inept, unmotivated and defensively useless.

If robins is going to go or be sacked , I'd expect far more respect from the mongrels on here .

Matt , if I sift through your comments you've been robins out during every little bad spell.

I hope you get your way

Yes our midfield is second best most games so we can't get a foothold.

It wasn't midfield that cost us today.

People are desperate to ignore that robins doesn't know how to change games.

He said the other day that games were tactical and like games of chess. He just keeps trying the same move.

Does anyone think they forgot to add on the time for the rain delay?
8 mins was a joke
We wouldn’t have scored but ffs
And as for Eccles getting a card for doing the refs job
Bizarre

We miss Ady yelling from the sidelines at the players to:

press their defenders

find space from throw ins

pick up unmarked wide players

etc.

You know I’m right.

He will always be a legend. But he’s tainting his legacy now. Players are good enough. It’s the coaching letting them down at the moment. If Robins isn’t up to turning it around then we need to change it.

This isn’t how anyone wanted or imagine it would end if he is sacked before January. But if these displays carry on for a few months more and we’re hovering above the drop zone, King has no choice.

Love Mark but while he’s given us an amazing 7 years, he has to be judged on the expectations at the club. Right now, it looks like a shadow.

Wonder if there is any pressure from Doug now and how much Adi leaving as impacted us.

It’s people’s favourite to compare Rudoni to COH. So I’ll have a go: COH did too much sometimes, Rudoni absolutely takes the piss for it.

Yeah he definitely deserves the respect but it's starting to feel like he's reached his ceiling with us. Given the relatively low turnover of players in the summer we've basically continued with the poor form from the end of last season.

It would be a right shame but yep January if we are where you say and a lined up manager is there that wouldn’t be over bad

Not sure he has?

How long does he get a free pass without anybody being able to say he had a shocker or looks lost?

That said the goals again are so soft and as much down to defence as midfield. It shouldn’t be so easy to score goals in this league as just about every team manages to against us.

How much? Poor starts every season and we’ve gone backwards year in year out since the PO final.

You know I’m a massive fan but this is dire Pete. Every manager has a sell by date.

It's maybe a bit early, but him and his coaches need to sort this shite out, and pretty quickly.

While Robins is here he has to be judged on the job. Of course he has credit in the bank, but it can’t be unlimited

Seriously? Pretty sure in our years falling out of the Championship and then out of League 1 there were plenty accusations of players not making much effort!

That was dreadful.
We've got a squad full of players with no winning mentality.
People laughed at those who wanted to bring Matty James in but we know he can change the mentality of a dressing room.

I respect your opinion, you're not an overreactive idiot .

I think should he leave , we will end up back in a circle of bad appointments and change for a few years .
It's so hard to get it right , with so many changes throughout the club it's strange the blame is lay at the bloke who has not had a bad season with us yet

You're only as good as your last game and we've been poor in the league all this calender year.
