So you don't then? I'm pretty sure Robins would have been consulted and have had an input into the coaches he wanted.

If we get nothing from the next two home games his position has to be under review. It isn't just this season, this form goes back to the end of last season too.

it's just depressing at the moment. This time last season I saw enough signs that we would improve. I don't see it this season

Possibly, but that's not the point, the point is we've been absolutely shite (relegation form in fact) since the last quarter of last season.

So you want him to stay, but you’ve been highly vocal calling him useless, pathetic, no fucking clue, doesn’t know what he’s doing etc ad nauseam for months.

Weird.

He has said he was ok with decision to hire the new coaches. So do you know for sure that's a lie?

no it doesn't, the only games that matter are the 7 this year so far

Last season we had squad that by the end was running on fumes

if we are like this in 10 games time then we can revisit but after 7 games is far too earlier

Seen enough teams where there is obviously something wrong. And that’s where we are. No idea what it is but heads are down. Our summer recruitment was excellent. But it lacked a versatile right sided player. But it’s not about that. There is just something wrong.

We reached the fa cup semi final and finished 9th , we were probably robbed of being atleast fa cup runners up .

We had a good season with a small squad

Click to expand...
I’m sorry but this is so true.

I find it very difficult to like Lati, Kitching, Dasilva, Thomas, Allen, EMC, Simms…. I could go on.

The play off season was a fluke, we actually somehow got clean sheets that season. Now we have no idea. BUT that season I liked our players, even when we lost…

Today was so bad, the worst I’ve seen in years and I’m old enough to have seen a lot.

But I’m sorry but it’s all predictable, the summer was a shit show and the gaps in the team show more than ever.

That is on Doug and/or Robins.

I mean, we got to an FA Cup semi final. We couldn't even do that in the 90s.

This is pretty much my position. The next two games are pivotal. 3 points would be minimum, 4 points to keep pressure off Robins. Anything below 3 and I think he has to go.

2nd half today shows the players wanted get back into it but we simply didn't have the ability to do so .. Leeds simply are a better team

Genuine question then. I really like Robins. I want him to be the hero.

How do you see us getting out of this and challenging for promotion this season?

well I respectfully disagree.

the best times Robins has had was when he had no involvement and interference from above. The biggest crisis he’s faced is when he has loads of involvement and interference from above.

Well if Latibeaudiere was the ring bearer, there’s no guarantee the ring even turns up. You’d be similarly upset.

Apparently Lati was the priest, bride, best man and driver at the wedding too.

They're a top side at home and we were always going to struggle here .
Click to expand...

I’d say look at the performance at Leeds away last year. Leeds had a stronger side back then, yet we ground out a point.

Leeds are still good and will be challenging again this year.

We, on the other hand, on the odd occasion show what we can do.. but the rest of the time, we’re shockingly bad. Even worse for me.. have no fight and seem clueless.

Don’t know who’s to blame?

Robins as manager? Dean Austin for not getting the midfielder we needed? Dr Roberts as the players don’t look conditioned for football?

The players have to take responsibility but at the same time they don’t look like bad eggs so what is it with the new coaching regime that’s not working for them?

No idea how we fix it

If we don't challenge for promotion from this point that's not really an issue in my mind , I want us to sure but finishing mid table won't ruin my life
