Not sure. How often over many years have we seen City try to hold onto a win, only to be pegged back late on. There is also an argument to say that Robins bringing subs on during added time cost us the win against Huddersfield, as their goal came during ‘added’ added time. Rather we attacked and kept the ball in their half.
Think the type of players Robins has signed is based on us continuing with our tried and trusted wing back and back three system, might change during a game due to circumstances at the time.I'm not sure why people want to change it , it's given us year on year improvement.
We've changed to 4 at the back a few times in recent years and it's always ended up being turgid

It's like asking Jurgen klopp why he doesn't change from 4 ATB , but he's played variations of 4ATB ..
We've played 343 , 3412 , 3421 , 532 , 5212 , 5221 , 541 .
We've changed up plenty
It’s not an argument. It was a shitshow moment from players that had done the full 90.Not sure. How often over many years have we seen City try to hold onto a win, only to be pegged back late on.

Stop it you are making them look even more stupid.I'm not sure why people want to change it , it's given us year on year improvement.

The level of stupidity on this thread is amazing. If we were getting spanked every week I’d be behind a formation change but we are not losing games. The game we were utterly diabolical in against Cardiff we still only lost by one goal. There is nothing wrong with our formation.
As for the 5 first team centre halves, we play three so 5 decent options is only a good thing. The notion that Kitching was signed instead of a midfielder is ridiculous. We clearly wanted one hence our late move for John Swift.
Some of you really need to start educating yourselves on the nuances of professional football. Nothing is as black and white as it seems on the surface. The amount of planning that goes into every game from a tactical perspective is incredibly detailed.
Robins and his coaches don’t panic if we don’t play well or if we lose a game, they aren’t complete bedwetters like some of you on here. They planned the recruitment on maintaining three at the back with wingbacks.
Back 5, with a couple of notable exceptions he has stuck to, yes.
But he's changed the midfield and forward formations fairly regularly.
I'm not sure playing 2 CBs is a good idea given it would mean either playing Fadz as one, not a good idea, or dropping him, also not a good idea.
So I'm not sure theres much wrong with keeping the back 5.
I’ve only seen him in that friendly at Exeter, so you have more knowledge of him than me. It was, however, quite a competitive friendly, and it was Exeter not Forest Green Rovers that I was mentioning.2 things.
1. It was a friendly
2. It was against forest green rovers
I've saw plenty of Obikwu to say that he definitely isn't ready for championship football yet.
You must be a maths wizard at schoolIf you don’t push on to get another goal and create at least a 2 goal advantage you leave yourself wide open to conceding one and having to settle for a point.
Let me know when your resits are and I’ll help you .You must be a maths wizard at school
I think you're looking at it too simplistically.I’m happy with 5 at the back but would like to see more in game flexibility.
on Saturday Norwich had stopped trying to attack and were defending deep. We didn’t need 3 centre half’s and could easily have pushed one further forward to attack the various crosses we were putting in, after all Thomas and Kitching have a good scoring record for their position.
What ever the merits of Godden, Simms, and Wright attacking crosses from teams defending deep isn’t one of them !
I think you are missing my point …. Norwich were playing up one with a huge gap to their midfield. We didn’t need 3 centre halves to mark that one isolated striker for the last 20 mins when we were 1 down.
