As is Robins
As is RobinsWas on a horrendous run and out of ideas
No, I don't think we are unlucky. That's not what I am saying. I am saying we are failing by such small margins. All over Plymouth last week and lost, all over Blackpool today and lost.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 unlucky
One thing that pees me off immensly.Why should we have won the game? We can pass it around all we want while the opposition stand back and let us but it doesn't mean we deserve to win the game.
They had done their research, they came out from halftime strong and pressured us. They looked like a completely different side from the first half. It paid off as they won 2-0, they didn't need a possession stat as they got 3 points.
Anybody notice the proactive sub their manager made in the first half too?
I disagree , only manager to bring any form of success to this miserable fan base in 30 years , first season back 8n league 1 and we are mid table , I’m absolutely positive we are doing as expected and another manager would have no more success with the squad(most players are 2/3 years off being finished articles ) than robins has .
We have to stop firing the gun if things don’t go our way , I like robins , I like what he has done for us over his tenure and I am encouraged by what I see on the pitch a lot of the time

Surely Robins has seen teams come flying out of the blocks against us after half time and score. It has happened so many times now. What is he saying to our players at half time about it?
Yes but if something doesn't work we need to see a will to change things to try and fix it.
It's got to the point where the fans know exactly what subs he will make and when he will do them (regardless of the score).
Agree.Should
Could
Would
If
Didn’t
I’m not sure it’s not working , I’m sure the main thing that’s letting us down right now is awful finishing .
Bring a new manager in you will still have the same strikers and nothing will change , he will look to change things when he can but right now his signings up top just haven’t come off, it happens to all managers

We need to stick by him
The lack of desire to try and get back into the game might change. He might play more than 1 of those strikers up front when we are losing.
It's all good hearing "we need to tweak a few things" but in reality it's which striker is he going to play up front, which is he going to play on the left, which is he going to play attacking midfield. Then at 60 minutes it's which striker is going to come on so we can then re-jig the previous lineup of strikers to suit chaplin.
Exactly but at some stage you have to question why...No, I don't think we are unlucky. That's not what I am saying. I am saying we are failing by such small margins. All over Plymouth last week and lost, all over Blackpool today and lost.
We had more than enough chances to win both games easily. It's not like we are a terrible side.
It worries me when we get to the point that our strikers need finishing training when they've been playing football from probably a child and more or less kick a ball every day of their life. If they can't finish now in their 20s then I don't see how they will improve. I know players develop but strikers either have it or they dont.Christ knows. Did he not say that he would be putting the forwards through extra finishing training?
Sure.
Playing devils advocate I guess you could level those stats at the majority of managers across the boardNicks right, assess our performances and the pattern repeats itself time and again. I dread half-times. I actually feel a bit sorry for Chaplin he’s been so poorly managed it’s a joke, he’s a rookie ffs.and should have been rested, dropped call it what you like ages ago. Looking at Robins and his career it follows a similar pattern wherever he’s been, good start, does okay for a year or so then slumps, happening here again.
OK same question to you give me a sacking after Black you disagree with

I agree I don’t think he should go but he has to be more versatile. Questionable changes, not quick enough and seems to have one way of playing which teams are reading too easilyOn a personal level I would be extremely disappointed if we sacked robins for us being mid table in league 1 the season after promotion , extremely disappointed .
It’s next season that’s key , if we can push on
I can accept that confidence matters but his willingness to have a go from
free kicks tells me he isn’t totally demoralised. Putting away sitters should be bread and butter stuff

I agree he is making mistakes , we also don’t know how much influence for example the number 2 has on matches or how much influence the scout has on player recruitment
It’s probably more about the fact that some managers probably could have done with more time or backing , we have struggled for years because of change , we are finally in a place where things seem settled and we are rebuilding from almost scratch and I firmly believe the man deserves time to rebuild the club and hopefully eventually get us back to at least the championship
That's the thing, there needs to be signs of improvement and willingness to try different things.
1 up front with another striker on the left and the other on the right whilst Chaplin is pretty much in midfield isn't what should be happening at 2-0 down if we want to get into the game.
There's no real pressure under free kicks is there?
Coleman was backed to the hilt and fucked up. Adams too was given freedom to spend and same story. The others woefully underperformed, some after good starts others not even that.
Robins is devoid of a plan or ideas
Putting it in the corner from 30 yards isn’t what you do with no confidence.
I agree there are mistakes , it actually really pisses me off too, I don’t agree we need a new manager though , I think he’s done a steady / good job at a club that has chewed up and spat out more managers than I can remember .
I would give him until Christmas , halfway through next season to see where we are at
It's a shame he can't from 2 yards out like today or the one he missed last week (keep adding to the list) when actually under a bit of pressure.
Mid table in League 2 with some defending it because we’re not far off being a great side
I dont wabt robins sacked but u r deluded. Every game ur in full on defence mode pretending everything is perfectI hate our fans.

Ok I just disagree I don’t know what more to say
