I just can't agree that it's a bad squad. Few additions needed but regardless it's not a big worry for me.

Needs a transfer window more than any other part of the team. Although i think the fact that our only competent keeper out of 3 is back in the team will help slightly.
It's not a bad squad at all, it should have been performing better all season. However the defence is a worry, especially the left side. You can play as well as you want but when you are let down often by your defence/keeper it knocks the stuffing out of you.I just can't agree that it's a bad squad.

Yeh agreed, very much so. Still would say Lati and Bidwell are the most easily upgradable (is that a word?) part of the team.Dropping Dasilva and Binks is a start.

Our goals for record is amongst the best in the league, if he does get the defence sorted we'd need to stay near enough undeafeted for the rest of the season to make a real push towards the top 6His attacking flair won't count for anything if he doesn't sort us out defensively.
Hopefully yesterday's clean sheet was the start of remedying that.
Little evidence? The evidence you are somehow and unbelievably missing is a Wembley play off final against the odds vs. Luton without spending millions. Masterminding one of the best away performances against Boro in the semis.The truth is there’s little evidence robins would ever get us near the top 6 again
His record with us in this league when measured against managers managing in this league or top flight barely puts him in the top 10

A penalty shoot out away from the PL and let's be honest if Hamer hadn't been injured at a time we were in the clear ascendancy against Luton - we would have been promoted.
Whilst all of this is happening some twat on here is typing away for years on a keyboard like some demented attention seeking moron that Robins should go. It beggars belief.
I'm very prepared to support a new era but not be discrediting everything that Robins did to save our club or his ability as one of our very best ever managers.
His personal issues won’t have helped and I think in the future he’ll say that in hindsight it was for the best for both parties.Robins was one of our best ever managers. No doubt about it. No one knows the circumstances that led to the poor start to this season - Viveash? Recruitment? King? Lawrence? Robins? A combination probably. The time was probably about right. But that doesn’t mean he wasn’t brilliant for us. It’s not that black and white.
As you are someone who was calling for one of our greatest managers to be sacked for over 5 years - during which time he promoted us from L2 to a penalty shoot out from the PL and from a Wembley cup final - your opinion is 100% worthless.I said “again” - his record isn’t fantastic and almost any other owner would have sacked him.
Get over it and dry your eyes.
He doesn’t rate Robins as he made him and his taxi threads look stupid countless timesAs you are someone who was calling for one of our greatest managers to be sacked for over 5 years - during which time he promoted us from L2 to a penalty shoot out from the PL and from a Wembley cup final - your opinion is 100% worthless.
Get over yourself and perhaps show some respect to Robins vs. your total nonsense and need for attention.
We all support the new regime - 99% of us also completely respect Robins - he is the man who saved our club.
Collins!!By and large (if they were his calls) he got the multi million pound deals right. Wright, Simms, Saka, Emc, MVE, Rudoni, Bassette. Probably question over Thomas, Binks and Kitching. Not bad overall.
For me Robins is our greatest ever manager. He saved the club. Not only that, he’s ensured its survival for decades to come with the amount of young fans we’ve gained because of him.
However I think with hindsight it was the right time for him to go. This team that he built is not worthy of the price tag. Plus I would’ve hated to see him take us down to league 1. We’d have been back where he found us.
Ultimately I think him trusting the back room staff too much, and perhaps having no experience in handling a multi million pound transfer budget did for him.
None of this though tarnishes his record.
Don’t think he was multi million.Collins!!
Part of a multimillion total though. Maybe if there Is less to spend people are more cautious on what they spend it on.Don’t think he was multi million.

Has there ever been anyone who has managed to ignore facts and to twist things to their own agenda. How on earth do you describe the last seven years as anything other than success. Finishing higher every season except the last one, but a semi-final and near cup final appearance. Wembley appearances, promotions, best football in years, play off final, players improving, building several different successful teams. How do you define success?I said “again” - his record isn’t fantastic and almost any other owner would have sacked him.

You forgot to mention building an entire unified fanbase almost from scratch after years in the wilderness.Has there ever been anyone who has managed to ignore facts and to twist things to their own agenda.

Well, if he stays here 7 years, he would have done brilliantly well for us you would have thought. Even 3 yearsI don't think lampard could get us from league 2 to the championship like robins did
But perhaps lampard can get us to the prem from the championship.
I'm not saying robins couldn't do it. But maybe lampards more attacking flair is what we need.
Either way remember robins fondly and hopefully we will all do the same for lampard when his time here is over
The same Robins that got the sack and the same Hamer that ended up back in the championship?Don't bother as you'll be laughed off SBT for the millionth time given your track record on all kinds of things - including Robins and Hamer for starters. Save yourself the embarrassment just this one time.
By using a spreadsheet on everyone on here to try and prove everyone wrong when they said something wrong during a game in the heat of the moment?How do you define success?
UPGRADEABLE (there is now)Upgradable is a word. Look, I just used it. Surprised there isn’t an e after the d though, but there isn’t.
