Notts county have sacked their manager and in league two.

we need to back the manager and the team as we are a league above now and its not going to be easy.

The negativity 6 games in is completely bizarre

It's not really is it when we lose games like that?

Robins keeps being outdone by other managers

He was tactically inept in league 2 but managed to ge lucky with a handful of good performances at the end of last season.

Funny how we get promoted into a tougher league and our manager becomes hopeless overnight just as we naturally struggle more so than last season....

Nothing clear cut, just half chances but you'd expect to score 1-2 of them on a normal day. Toothless in the final third

keeps ?

We have lost 3 out of 6.

let me guess, you don't want to change manager, but you want him to change things and win more games ?

either we feel he is the right man for the job and we need to support him through tough times or we don't and we need to get someone else in who we think is ?

Can someone explain to me how Grimmer got man of the match in that game? I thought he was very poor. Thought Doyle had a rubbish game as well. Disappointing.

Now he’s got his man, Robins must be given more time to develop his side to how he wants it, but there’s certainly cracks beginning to show, plus his new signings have not yet improved the team. He’s got to Xmas for me, but if things don’t improve then I can see him struggling to hold on to his job.

Sorry but i thought this was a public forum where anyone can 'pipe up'. If that means excluding anyone who doesn't follow all the updates from the club on injuries, doesn't want the manager sa ked every time we lose, then again i apologise.

Do 't get it? I am trying to join in on a match thread whilst sitting in a hotel room in Slovakoa with the mrs really ill in bed. Instead i'm being treated with contempt on here

Yes, keeps as in it has happened multiple times.

What is your actual point, you seem to be insinuating you don't agree with me but you don't seem to be proving me wrong in any way.

It is a public forum which is why I am saying it publicly, you are just looking like somebody who is trying too hard to be interested in something you don't really know about.

I can't see where you are being excluded, just pointing your nonsense out like the bloke at a party who clearly has no interest or know about cars but tries to join in (insert any subject other than cars here).

It's pretty realistic to be annoyed after watching that today. I don't expect promotion, I have expected mid table and still do.

It's not about expectations, it is about the basics which we seem to be lacking and the persistence of doing things that don't work.

It’s almost as if we’ve gone full circle in terms of attitude towards the gaffer despite him bringing us 2 trophies in 18 months .
6 games in lads and lasses , get a grip he deserves time

On the other hand, fans don't deserve him to be still pretending it's pre season 5 games into the season.

Or just saying how it is when somebody who has been on here all week seriously suggests a player who has done his ACL will come on and score.

Seen enough of Thomas now to know we cant afford him in that position. And why we are persisting with 1 up front, I just don't understand, Have to give Dale credit for how they switched around tactics: we, on the other hand looked our predictable selves.

Can’t get my head round that system tbh to has to be 4-4-2 next week end of now we’re being bullied and game managed by poor football teams we seem too weak.

Robins has his man now it’s tme to kick on else the pressure will start mourning Robins looked clueless today out done by their manager people say it will come good I’m struggling to see how we don’t create enough.Corners free kicks total waste of time so frustrating today.

Chaplin looks a real asset he’s got great movement you can see the player in him he will score goals for us no doubt.

First 10 mins we were poor then we dominated the first half. One problem we have is we don’t capitalise when on top. Completely different performance 2nd half, different team. No gel, no cohesion, no attacking intent, useless.....
What does JCH actually do?
Willis future leader?? Nah mate
Doyle - too OLD

I could go on....we have problems.

Have you ever thought that some people such as me tune in and out and thus miss stuff? You live on here, and fair play that is your choice. I'm mostly an armchair CCFC fan who knows far less than more dedicated fams such as you. As such i will get things wrong and that's nothing to be embarrased about. I don't mind so long as others don't. All clubs have their cadual fans, football wouldn't be football without us. Despite this i pay thousands every year watching us and dedicate my free time to my CCFC fans group. Less of the derision please, honest mistake pointed out abd acknowledged.

P.s. i still think it's far too early to sack MR. If that means i am not a legitmate fan of a club that has changed manager every 17 months since Strachan then so be it.

We would be in championship now of Mowbray didn't leave after 10 games as his success elsewhere shows

So despite being angry at robin's it's too early for him to go yet

No we wouldn't. Mowbray had given up. Not hard to be a success at Blackburn when they have quadruple the budget of most team in League One.

You say i am not a proper City fan. A bit rich from a blole who has hated every manager we have ever had and most players too. In fact the only people you consistently stick up for are the owners and directors. Some fan.

JCH played well first off and some of our chances came from him, he needs somebody playing off him in this system which he doesn't have.

When we made subs we still kept the same formation and shape, we don't seem to change things mid-game yet we see other teams do it against us and how effective it is.

Clarke-Harris played well today but still missed three point blank headers that he should be burying. 11 shots in the first half with 0 on target is just shocking from the team as a whole.
