Its fine to offer opinions. But when wrong just admit it. Its not s competition. Just lesrn from it for next time

Take hiwulla godden walsh and o hare out of this side and it is not relegation fodder. Sure not 3rd either but defo not fighting for survival.

We r a better tesm than u expected . Its that simple. Doesnt make you an evil person

Do you really believe there has not been a change in approach since the thread was made? Be honest and direct now. Your whole credibility depends on it...

SBT - “people wrote off Godden”
Grendel - “who”
SBT - “well you yourself said after the Lincoln game that he wouldn’t get into the squad of any top 6 team”
Grendel - Well I didn’t mean Godden because at the time of the Lincoln game I thought he would be long term injured.
SBT - Godden played in the Lincoln game
Grendel - I oFfeR oPINionS

That is how that exchange just went. You’re like the Donald Trump of SBT. It doesn’t make you less of a man to admit you’re wrong sometimes.

It wasn’t the Lincoln game when I made this so called infamous statement was it?

Less than 2 months ago this thread.

The OP will say “I was still right because it’s inevitable that we would go up”

or

“Robins completely changed his approach after following my advice the day after this post so I am never wrong”

Out of curiosity and I am not at all being sarcastic so please don't think I am I'm just interested in your actual opinion of him as I don't really know it.

Are you happy with the job Robins is currently doing Grendel

I wasnt wrong because if the results carried on as they had been it would have been correct to get rid of him - as I’ve often said it’s the managers you retain once a slump starts that costs you more than the opposite

Ok that's fair enough.

All opinion I suppose.

I think he will stay and try and build on his legacy

If we got promoted certainly through an automatic stock will be at its highest it’s ever likely to be

He was pretty much down and out as a manager when he came in

The reality is next season if we get promoted will be at best very difficult (Ricoh return) and at worst impossible (st Andrews)

It’s likely we will be in the bottom 4 and then an axe is more likely and the CV less impressive

You congratulated yourself that you were right about a previous Mowbray car crash but there has been no car crash this time since the the thread started ..

.. so on this you were wrong? No?

You really can’t help being pessimistic can you?

Other than your own opinion what is this based on?

Yes, with your own opinion of the situation.

So, my question remains.

How fucking pathetic are you that our team is absolutely smashing it, everyone is in a high, won what was arguably the biggest game of the season last night late on, and you go to dig out old threads to try and point score with the gift of hindsight.

Get a life lad, enjoy the moment!

Ok, so it is just based on your opinion then as I initially stated.

This isn’t a criticism, it’s a genuine question as why you believe he’ll go, and it seems it’s just your pessimism as opposed to anything else.

Robbie it’s all banter son! I think everyone is delighted with the win.

You could equally claim with lots of justification that it was pathetic to start a post calling for the manager’s head due to a dip in form over a few games.

In terms of hindsight - it’s a bit harsh to claim that - as many passionately argued at the time that Robins was the man and should be evaluated on his overall track record with the club vs. a dip in form.

Onwards and upwards. #notaxiforrobins

Well other than the fact if Mowbray was fucked off in January we’d have been promoted then

I'm not so sure, I still believe the injuries at the back which we continuously had played a bigger role than some Mowbray haters would like to admit.

We lost

Cargill
Johnson
Ben Turner
Stokes for several weeks
Martin lorentzson
And Jack Stephens all suffered injuries

It wasn't as simple as just... Mowbray lost the plot

To be fair, all of your comments in the match thread seem to be about Grendel. It's very strange.

Don’t I give opinions then? Surely my initial comment re you being pessimistic was an opinion?

Come on Grendel - as the King of Misdirection I expect better. I didn’t dig this thread out, I commented on it once somebody else had.

I wasn’t even trying to provoke you, but you’ve gone to your attacking the poster playbook, so I evidently have. Not my intention.
