They were. It's what you need to do at this level. They were very good in the first half.

Well drilled throughout.

Let's be brutally honest. It was a shit show again. It needs fixing , it's not being fixed.
We've spent shit loads, we've lost to a shit side.
Even I can't see how this is going to be resolved if the coaching team aren't removed. Some of the signings are questionable to and the obvious lack of signings in midfield is a massive problem.
The consequence of all these factors could end up being serious.

When teams are awful for extended periods, managers pay the price. I don't think we're some special exception to the rule and I'd think Robins is on very thin ice.
We have absolutely nothing about us and Robins seems to be getting constantly out thought by younger managers.

Unfortunately true. Even away, our fans have been poor. Very few songs left.

Just thought to ask has any ITK heard anything regarding Robins? For all the people talk about how this could be end of Robins I feel I’ve missed something?

He didn’t hide. I’m taking that as a positive compared to the other three.

Still don’t think he’s a 10 though.

Robins post match:

Shot ourself in foot
Concede in both injury times.
Didn't start with tempo we needed
Let Sheffield wed off hook
Poor decisions for goals conceded
Game management not good enough
Last half hour we had some energy.
Lost cos of decision making
Ben sheaf not ready to receive ball when conceded seconds
So disappointed
We are giving too many games away
Is winning 2 in a row too much for this squad?
Sheff wed athletic team
We are a good team but we don't show it regularly
We have to start building momentum or seasons over
This wasn't down to lack of energy
Played backwards too often
Pedestrian out there
Don't put teams to sword
Don't think was lack of effort just lack of thought
Players till choosing easy options
Disappointed as I've ever been
Good teams won't let u have the ball I have to work for it. Stop taking easy options
Too much long ball for his liking
5-6 players away now. Maybe 13 players left to work with over break
Bidwell ligament injury. Prob out for 3-4 weeks
Two poor Saturdays
If we keep making poor decisions we will not build any momentum
Players need to stick to principles . In training they know how to play tactic . Stop taking easy options
Just poor

Thank you for this. If any one is looking to read all 31 pages just read this. It’s called a nutshell .
On a personal note I really feel for Robins right now. He deserves better and though we were beaten by a very weaker team (who inevitably) that will be struggling next year I just hope fans and personal do not over react. 🩵

The usual absolute garbage coming out on here- “the players can’t be bothered”, “this is a top six squad”, “a new manager would get much better results- rubbish.

nothing has changed, there is still something very rotten going on, but with each match you kind of get a bit more of an idea as to what’s causing it all.

1. If Wright is off form we create nothing and are impotent going forward.

2. The squad is blatantly not as good as we were all assuming & hoping

3. we have a massive hole in terms of leadership

4. The new coaching setup at this stage is a failure. Either Robins isn’t listening to them or they have no meaningful input.

5. The players are unable to adapt in matches, appear totally bereft of confidence, and have no discipline in terms of getting pulled all over the place, they don’t look cohesive at all.

Solutions?

King isn’t going to start offloading coaching staff or authorising another huge spending spree.

So.. get an experienced head in asap, someone that can lead, and someone that can bark at people, and someone Robins trusts

apart from that I don’t see what else can be done, aside from get a new manager, and I don’t want that.

there’s still a part of me that thinks “it’ll be ok, it’s like this every year”, but so much has changed that I’m not sure this holds any more.

Although I tend to agree about a coach that will be tough, these days it seems performance directors move away from that, as I'm sure some study somewhere will say such an approach is counter-productive.

You need a mix as different people react to different methods , and sometimes individuals can react differently. You've just got to know when they need an arm around them and when they need a bit of a kick up the arse, even if the don't want it.

The only consolation for me today is that Folkestone Invicta won 8-1.

Oh and that England women won the cricket.

Only mildly soothes things though

To be fair to EMC I feel he needs a proper run out on the left wing where he is strongest and can play his game.

The last goal their player should of been taken out even of it cost us a red card, it was so obvious they were backing off. Sheff Wed were doing it to us, we're to timid

we need to make a change before we’re serious relegation material

Still blaming Doug for this slide towards mediocrity. Off the pitch mediocrity was an improvement, on it not so much.
