More than happy to be putting this thread up. Let’s hope we maintain this and get over the line. 4 more points should do it

I don't know why fans feel the need to backtrack .. every single person in this forum has made a few silly claims or predictions over time .

I'm absolutely positive I once said that Ben Stevenson was a better player than James maddison

I'm holding firm though , I think Ben can absolutely turn it around

Not seen everything you've posted, but Robins changed things today and it worked.

Something we have been saying since vs Brentford. (Derby being the only flukey exception)

Incidentally, I listened to the Radio Manchester commentary game of Bolton v Colchester on Friday on a walk .
Ben Stevenson was a second half substitute for Colchester.

Still tough to stay up, so don't get carried away with a welcome 3 points today.

It was more a tongue in cheek comment my criticisms of Robins revolves around his inability to change and not being willing to positively take on teams

I was impressed today. We played well and Robins went with the 2 up top, with O’Hare behind

ive Always said if he keeps us up job done, I didn’t think he had the ability to do so. Today has restored a little bit of faith. There’s 7 cup finals left. Let’s hope he finishes the job and proves me wrong

The recent criticism was justified but he and the players have responded to the recent dross, which is what we all wanted.

To be fair mate, you can criticise without demanding for him to be sacked all clubs have difficult periods

And that’s what my initial post is. I didn’t think he’d do it. He did and he was right. I give credit where it’s due

We're not safe yet so just like the doom and gloom Friday was a bit OTT its a bit early to be popping the champagne.
Long way to go but we did ourselves a big favour today and Wycombe did us one as well.

Might do but can't panic if we get nothing from them. Fight hard though and make them earn it

No 7 more cup finals to go. We’re in a much better position now than we were this time yesterday

I think collectively we all agreed he got the selection/formation/tactics wrong against Wycombe and QPR and that he should have been more positive (ala today!).

It’s the calling for him to have been sacked in January, calling him a clown and making ridiculous statements about him losing the dressing room (all of these fifteen times on each thread I might add) that I think some people take issue with.

We started well against Wycombe but seemed to withdraw into ourselves when we didn't score, (not for the first time).

With the front two from today fit I'm sure we'd have won.

QPR was a car crash

I meant in terms of one up top. IIRC Biamou was up top on his own?

I was the same. At one point I thought Stevenson would be the better player.

I did say and so did a few others too, there was no certainty at all of Rotherham easily beating Wycombe.

I did fancy Wycombe's chances and Rotherham aren't half as good as some have been making them out to be on here.

Ok I will put my tin hat on for this - that looked like his best team yesterday to do a job on a poor team - he couldn’t play that team at Wycombe and he did want to play it due QPR whose form was good

I wouldn’t be surprised if he does a complete change for Bournemouth- they are in good form , he won’t want them knackered - tactically it could be the right thing to do although it will look negative ?
