Agreed a good performance is the ability to take chances and win games. Blackpool were spot on today, took our attacks with ease and did the damage when it counted.

The performance can't be classed as good enough if you don't take chances. He picks the team he picks the tactics and he is accountable.
Unless he makes a miracle change next week he needs to go and take Chaplin with him
It's embarrassing, he looks lost
Mowbray wasn’t sacked, he walked away knowing he’d done all he could.
I think Robbins is in a similar situation now.
Agree. Teams fo that to us every week. You just know after how bad they were in the first half theyd regroup and have a reaction. We all saw it comjng so why didn't he or the team? Its pathetic. I even called his post match conference on the way over there today.We played right into their hands today, toothless upfront and they easily absorbed our attacks. They then upped a gear in the first 10 mins and killed us off with two easy goals.

We could play a lot worse. Ironically we have this year and won and people lauded the result.Could we do better? Obviously. Could we be playing worse? Probably not. He’s been given money and at present it looks like he’s wasted it. He paid around a million for 3 strikers and despite all 3 having certain qualities none of them look like they’re consistent goalscorers and quite frankly never were before their arrival. I never quite got expectations lumped in particular on Chaplin. I’m not sure why they were so high. Despite the good moments and the relative glory that came at the end, he made mistakes last season, was tactically very naive at times and the overall outcome could’ve easily been so different.
On the whole I’m not sure what it would achieve by sacking him but I also don’t think it would make things any worse.

Which one of them shouldn’t have been sacked?
I love it when teams 'decide' to move in to second gear. Is that a collective decision? Or someone shouts a special code?It is all about the result.
We could pass it round like Brazil every week for 45 minutes while the opponents stand and watch. It's pointless if we lose and concede goals as soon as they decide they want to get into 2nd gear.
Wtf are you talking about? Did you watch the Plymouth performance? Or the Wimbledon performance? If you did you'd know the performance was good and the result not deserved.

Yes we had chances and we didn’t take them. It equally we have issues at the back, they drifted through our back two with ease againNo they gave us sitters and the usual suspects fluffed them

Thing is though, Nick, we should have won that game and were all over them in that first half.Unless he makes a miracle change next week he needs to go and take Chaplin with him

Well I think it was the manager at half time telling them not to sit too deep and get forward, guess what it worked.... twiceI love it when teams 'decide' to move in to second gear. Is that a collective decision? Or someone shouts a special code?

It's such small margins.
Chaplin misses a header he should have put in. Thomas has a great chance inside the box and hits the ball far too close to the keeper. He then screws another one badly wide.
Enobakhare had the ball in the penalty area and dwells on the ball far too long, the chance lost. Westbrooke had a fantastic chance. The keeper saved it, but it is not hit with enough power.
Enobakhare again gets the ball to the byline and tries to slide the ball in from the tightest of angles rather than punch it across.
ALL in the first half.
It's such fine margins and we could easily won 4 or 5 nil today.
Second half WAS dreadful though.
Ah so that's how you get them to go up a gear?? Amazing. Two poor goals but Blackpool weren't markedly better at any point.Well I think it was the manager at half time telling them not to sit too deep and get forward, guess what it worked.... twice

Bakayoko looks like he can score?Time to rest Chaplin and Hiwula - start with JCH and Bakeryoko who looked like they could score - although JCH missed the two headers his head was there on the end of a cross - he was a lot closer than Chaplin
You've got a very short memory if you don't think we could be playing worse.
We're not playing well at the moment, I don't deny that.
But I have seen enough this season to know that we're not far off being a decent side. We are a newly promoted team and we're 12th, that's not bad.
We are a goalscorer short of being decent.
There is no point in getting rid of Robins. We've been sacking managers for years and it's got us nowhere. Robins has a long term plan in place and is signing lots of young players.
Let's actually give a manager a chance at building something rather than getting back on the manager merry go round.
Same old story though Otis? We keep missing chance after Chance and at some stage you have to question the ability of the players rather than we are unluckyThing is though, Nick, we should have won that game and were all over them in that first half.

I guess that's where we disagree. Today's first half performance was leagues above the drivel thorn served up. We're miles ahead of that team.That today was as bad as what we saw during a lot of our last relegation season.
Probably Adams if I had to pick one of those.
Robins is a striker and can’t get anyone to score sitters.
And as I keep asking, why is Oggy taking the strikers' pre match warm-up shooting?

Look forward to the next new era and reviving this thread in two years.
