Really feel we’ve got season after season of teams we used to ridiculeThe shape matters, but no shape is going to succeed with players taking so long to advance the ball, giving away soft goals every week, and missing sitters at the other end.
They need to be putting in double time at the training ground to sort this out. Otherwise, we're the new Stoke on the block.
Our form was pretty good in the league until April 6th .
We then played 10 games in 34 days including the semi final
Every season Stoke spend a ton on their squad and tell themselves this will be the year that's different from all the ones before. Then the manager is sacked some point early on and they finish in the bottom half.Really feel we’ve got season after season of teams we used to ridicule
stoke to name one
There's not always been a question mark about his ability at this level without viveash .The thing for me mate is if I’m honest since we’ve come up we’ve not looked convincing without Vik and Gus. That was fine because we were run on a shoestring. But their sale should have meant we built a proper squad of championship players rather than two PL ones and a bunch of L1. And TBF we have.
Now I want to see us playing with some type of identity and looking convincing. The last couple of games, collapses apart, have been encouraging, but the games sandwiching them are some of the worst I’ve seen us play under Robins.
There’s always been a question mark around his ability at this level without Viveash and cheat code players. Last season I could accept we did a big rebuild and it would take time. This season we’ve ripped up the coaching staff and started again and frankly I can’t see any progression. Our players look unmotivated, confused, and are sniping at each other on the pitch. They don’t generally look like players out of their depth, just set up badly and lacking in leadership. All of which has to come down to Robins and his staff.
I’m willing to give him time, but I need to see a consistent upwards trajectory from the abject shite we’ve seen so far. Spurs was a different sort of performance and one no player at this level needs motivation for. Oxford was frankly a fluke. Watford was promising. And that alone is why I’m not calling for his head. But I have an awfully long way to go to be convinced this set up is getting the best out of this group of players.

That's looking like being CCFC this year, but unlike Stoke we don't have gambling tycoons ready to fund another bash at it next summer.
Tough result to take.You don't want to hear what I've been told this evening i assure you
Let's see how things look on here next Saturday after Leeds' 5th goal

King’s not exactly shown he’s a dab hand in replacing key staff, be fascinating to see what avenue he’d go down

I wasn't happy with how our form dropped with a busy schedule and small squad last season but many including yourself at the time suggested it was understandable with such a small squad and the load .
Now it's different ?
Doug not at the game today, probably just as well.

Not getting into bed with him, but it's a fact we have three clean sheets in the league all year, a fair chunk of which was under Dennis Lawrence.The fact you two have got into bed with eacjother on this should make you think @Brighton Sky Blue , matt does this every month every season
Nothing changes over night. Old habits stick about for a bit. We also had Viveash. The worry is now we have neither and their replacements aren’t good enough.
Right let’s be crystal clear here. The hypothesis is that Lawrence and particularly Viveash were heavily responsible for our performances and the team that’s replaced them starting from last March isn’t up to scratch.
That’s why taking last seasons results matters. Because it shows the cut off clearly. It’s also why it’s not just calling for change after five games.
First game of the season my Dad forgot his ST and the queue was so long we missed a goal. I ended up watching it on my IPTV stream on my phone in the queue.
The team Lawrence coaches now are terrible , I think fans are scraping the barrelNot getting into bed with him, but it's a fact we have three clean sheets in the league all year, a fair chunk of which was under Dennis Lawrence.

The cut of is inconsistent though , it would imply that Dennis Lawrence was Jose mourinho and viveash and Robins were wank .. it's all bollocksRight let’s be crystal clear here.

Talk us round Evo. What are you seeing this season that gives you hope?
Sure, the fact stands though-three clean sheets in the league all year. Under MR that must be much lower than previous years in his tenure.The team Lawrence coaches now are terrible , I think fans are scraping the barrel

No I don’t think that. I can completely accept the game schedule and squad size and general losing at Wembley deflation played a big part.
I think Viveash was very important though. I can accept he may have made his position untenable, but then it’s on the club to replace him with as good if not better like any staff member.
I think we’ve lost a lot of leadership in both the squad and the backroom staff and not replaced any of it.
We do now , bit shit to say that then not say
We conceded a lot of very poor goals in the first few months of last season with a back 5 too. It points to something else being the problem.Well up until last season we played a back 5 pretty much , well wing backs
