Good question...
Can someone else answer this. Trying to get some thought on the site about this.
I will answer your question though if no one volunteers.
What on earth is that shite little video all about? It’s true - xG etc is an absolute borefest
I agree to some extent and it’s by no means panic-stations but I do find the lack of creativity both from some players and from Robins quite concerning.A lot of the negative posts being made now, are just regurgitated version of posts made at multiple points last season, and the season before that, and the season before that, so forth. And look at how last season turned out. Not worth taking seriously.
3 of those 4 teams are in terrible form, the 4th was playing a makeshift defence with a depleted squad. We got 2 points out of 12. Really against actually decent opposition it could be embarrassing.I agree to some extent and it’s by no means panic-stations but I do find the lack of creativity both from some players and from Robins quite concerning.
I’m not one of those that wants Robins out but I do think we don’t seem to have a Plan B atm, there’s a real reluctance to change tactics and I personally think that’s holding us back. The manner in which we lost to Bristol and Rotherham as well as draws to Huddersfield and Norwich show how we can’t break teams down and I think there needs to be some tweaks with formation and player positioning, but that’s just my opinion, I know many others don’t share it which is fair enough.
Team, or manager? Be careful for what you wish for. If the numpties start venting at MR, then Norwich sack Wagner.......There’ll be other managers. Other teams. I just think this one is over.
Assuming two more defeats next week that's 4 on the spin. 6 has just done for Ainsworth...Team, or manager? Be careful for what you wish for. If the numpties start venting at MR, then Norwich sack Wagner.......
I think MR has a bit more credit in the bank than Ainsworth (who has had 1 win at home during his tenure).Assuming two more defeats next week that's 4 on the spin. 6 has just done for Ainsworth...
How did it manage to keep 20+ clean sheets then?

Yeah absolutely agree, against the likes of Leeds, Southampton, Ipswich etc we’ll be turned over pretty easily. I don’t necessarily think we’re awful but the way we play and the lack of tactical variety means we become pretty easy to defend against. I think Robins need to accept that playing with one style and one formation isn’t going to hack it week in week out.3 of those 4 teams are in terrible form, the 4th was playing a makeshift defence with a depleted squad.

Team. The one that started L1 promotion season. Robins may or may not build another, but the one we loved is gone.
Yep. Was inevitable which is why I'm not losing any sleep over it. Sure it's frustrating but if we are serious about completely overhauling everything that's not a quick process. I expect we'll see a little pragmatism from MR as usual when the going gets tough.I was always worried about the size of the rebuild this season feels like the leftover gift from sisu who didn't want to invest in the squad last year. The worry I had was that we would loose our identity and that horrible gelling word which appears to have come true. I never thought we'd make play offs this year but still feel we won't be near a relegation battle. Where we sit mid table will depend on how quick the team take on the identity again.
Could have left out the last eight words tbf.It doesn't half get weird on here when we have a weekend without a game.
Like he done with Beavon, Bakayoko, Biamou etc etc some players wish to develop, Biamou for instance but he just wasn't skillful enough, everyone could see that but at least he tried and atm we are seeing the likes of Hadji and Simms struggling to even control the ball at times and also appear lazy and unwilling to battle, so if you haven't got the basic skills or indeed desire where can he improve these players which cost millions? If we could see some signs of improvement maybe it would give us more hope but at the very least a player that cost in excess of 7 million you would at least like to see some signs that he was trying and at the minute that is sadly lacking, but I do admire your optimism and thats genuine not a piss takeI think it's reasonable to expect a transition period .. the expectation levels obviously high from last season, but there's signs that most of the signings can be developed into top players .. when people talk about signings being shit they're obviously talking about the strikers .. but even then there is an obvious level of development required and allowed

Vik and Gus gone. Cal off, new signings got the heart of someone off to see the wizard. Old players looking past it.
Reckon Robins will go before the start of next season and we’ll be another bang average over paying Championship club with no identity and no hope. End of an era. Play off final was a season finale.
Yes you have, they were contributing 50k a week to his wagesMentioned this before but Villa spent an arm and a leg loaning in Tammi Abrahams but the gamble came off with the help of his goals they scraped promotion and look at them now.
Doug King has mentioned being pro-active in the window so let’s see if he is.
what a load of rubbish.Vik and Gus gone. Cal off, new signings got the heart of someone off to see the wizard. Old players looking past it.

Good thing that football generally isn’t foreseeable then. We were in league two 5 seasons ago.Last season was probably the closest we’ll get to the Prem for the foreseeable.
It’s the state of YouTube/social media these days. Watch time is king so videos get dragged out to fill time.If you’ve never watched one of those HITC videos then please do, the geezer’s voice that does the videos is so dull and monotone, almost quite funny at times, and I know I’m found of a comma but there’s wayyyy too many in his monologues.
“So what has happened at Coventry City? As you all know, or I hope you do, Coventry, a city of around 300,000, is located in the West Midlands, just east of Birmingham. But why have they performed so poorly? Well, to say the least, or to not put too fine a point on it, they have, some would say, had a strange purchasing strategy. The club wanted to generate revenue, as well as points of course, but their strikers, or forwards, as well as many others, didn’t live up to, or come anywhere near to, the expectations many fans, or even the manager, hoped would be achieved from the highlight reels they watched.”
I know I write a fair chunk when I’m arguing the toss but that guy just waffles on and on and on. Could literally sum up a 30 min HITC video in 5 mins
Fucking nerd, I knew it. Less computer time, more speaking to humans needed. I bet you've got a VR headset and really stained carpets.It’s the state of YouTube/social media these days. Watch time is king so videos get dragged out to fill time.
Although looks like the meta is switching to shorts now so maybe we’ll see a shift in content creation again.
It seems to generally be a race to the bottom to maximise whatever the current monetisation strategy is instead of creating good content.
