Absolutely unbearable. You'd think we'd just lost 3-0 at home to bottom of the league.

I mean virtually everyone can see Robins played the wrong formation and wrong players, leaving out Collins, Bidwell and Kitching) for the vast majority of the season. As well as the usual favourites and subs nonsense.
Never mind the potential waste of £m's on disappointing transfers.
Objectively he's had a very poor start.

Sure , but it was obvious he was trying to stop them playing through the middle .. didn't work , could have worked if the players did their jobs ? But they never

Anyway without overreacting I don’t think we will win another game for the rest of the season and be relegated by Feb.

I don't think I'm arguing we got it wrong today .. we did .

Hard to argue we've got it wrong all season when we have 2 players in the top 5 of big chances missed and all the stats show we should be much higher based off performances ..

The change of formation has helped us solidify and add a new fresh approach sure

as does Milan

Prefer Allen over Ohare at the moment. Milan is too inconsistent and i have noticed argues with Robins at times, which i hate to see and Robins alluded to players not listening after the Plymouth win.

Anyway, draw a line under it. For context we lost at Burnley and Sheffield United last season so it's not necessarily the sign of some great regression. I think Ipswich will last the course.

we gave Burnley and Sheff Utd far harder matches than we gave Ipswich today who clearly were in 3rd gear in 2nd half. both were far better than Ipswich as well.
Doyle and McNally are massive losses. Kitching and Thomas are significant downgrades on them

also less defensively sound. At the moment i want us going back to basics and grinding out results and being horrible to play against. That means having the best defenders in the back 4 less error prone. January is massive for us recruitment wise as clearly we are way short of what Robins wants to put his actual plan in to work

Disagree. Was about having the right personall. Negative tactics. He can't come out after every game and say the players are getting used to each other blah blah..then change the team and left field tactics at that! The players looked lost first 30 mins by all accounts.

Hopefully this is just a blip, 3 points next week v birmingham and it will be 10 points in 5 games and we will be looking up the table again.

Robins needs to stop with the godden shit and focus on investing game time in the two strikers he spent £15 million on who will be here for the next 4 years.

Yeah and they scored from wide.

Can't just randomly change things and say "players didn't do what I asked". He could ask the players to go and score 15 goals and then blame them for not.

He fucked up

Kitching will end up being a Rolls-Royce. Team is shaping up nicely and really don’t get the negativity.

I know he fucked up but ayari jogged by the side of the lad out wide who switched the ball .. first goal was through the middle

Players didn't do their jobs too that's all I'm saying

I was. I do think Binks is better than kitching but i do think Kitching is a good signing. Just feel at the moment Binks has looked less error prone

Some people will never understand how a superior team 2 nil up take their foot off and relax.
That really isn't 'pretty even' and the stats are warped by the losing chasing team, including xg yawwwwwn..

Overall progress means finishing higher than 5th, and to be honest i think the chances of that are pretty much zero.
