But ultimately people aren't. They're just pointing out that the subject heading, as per the one before, is rather reactionary and also diverts from the issues which are more pressing.

Let’s be honest though you’ve always believed in a long term approach with managers - it rarely works as it’s short term game. Exeter have a long term approach and it’s got them nowhere.
On Saturday all the left sided defence were watching the ball not the players. Any one of three attackers could have knocked that first goal in.
The second goal we had 4 players heading for their player.A simple pass to a player running in and a undefended shot for the second goal.
The defenders seldom find a midfielder when kicking out and it usually goes to Biamou and then are always second to the resulting ball.
No, basics and inexperience will see us fail.
January was a missed opportunity. (Again)
Yes, look how changing managers every six months has done wonders for Leeds United.Let’s be honest though you’ve always believed in a long term approach with managers - it rarely works as it’s short term game. Exeter have a long term approach and it’s got them nowhere.
I'd actually suggest Exeter being a solid, established club is exactly the reason to stick with a manager! It's allowed them to put foundations in place... but there'll always be a glass ceiling, the same as we won't be winning the Premier League any time soon, with or without Robins. Exeter have an identity, and compete despite being nowhere relative to many... and that's as much because the manager's been allowed to manage. Last season they turned it around dramatically... and they didn't have to sack the manager to do that.Let’s be honest though you’ve always believed in a long term approach with managers - it rarely works as it’s short term game. Exeter have a long term approach and it’s got them nowhere.

What did you expect from this January window? It’s all well and good saying it was a ‘missed opportunity’, but how so? In January, all prices are inflated, all free agents are far from match fit, so your most realistic options are loans.
What did we need to do? Two midfielders, to replace injuries to Jones and Andreu and another striker. They’re still contracted to us, and frankly, at least with Jones, the best option in the league. We didn’t need permanent signings. If the loans turn out to be poor signings... the failings on TW and MR.
We worked diligently on getting a striker, missed out on Richards who chose Swindon. According to reports, we agreed a deal to sign Craig Davies from Oldham - he didn’t want to drop a division. We eventually signed a striker who’s got pedigree in the leagues above us.
In a season where we’ve signed 15+ players, I can’t take the suggestion the owners are to blame for this season very seriously. It might’ve been true 5+ years they’ve been in charge, but this year is not one of them. Oh, and in the last two windows, we’ve let go a 4th choice midfielder and a striker who’s contract had expired. There’s without a doubt a concerted effort from the club to improve what we have.
League 2 is a notoriously difficult league to get out of and I personally think Robins has done well with signings this year. I absolutely think he’s the man to take this club forward, despite his shortcomings this season.
Am I mistaken? the league didn't finish last Saturday did it???. Cos it sounds like for some our season is over. We are shit away, have no consistency blah blah blah!
If it had and we finished 8th, then I may have to say Motor vehicle for Mark Robins.
But as it stands as far I can see there are 6 places above us within reach! 2 of which are Automatic. lots to play for!
in our last 4 away league games we've won 1, poor in another and abysmal in the other 2.
Ignore that if you want.
Whos ignoring that? look at the whole picture! again looking at one game in isolation!
picked up 6 points from last three games. 2 ppg
Picked up 12 points from last 6 games ..2ppg
Picked up 18 points from last 9 games ...2ppg
Add to that we have beaten Stoke and won away at MK Dons in the fa cup.
So in effect we have won 8 of our last 11 matches!!!!!! Taxi for Mark Robins.
If we win 8 of our next 11 matches il take that right now please!!!!!!!!!!!
Fucking Numptys!

With whom would you replace Robins ?

Surely Exeter have done relatively well, particularly this season, given their resource?Let’s be honest though you’ve always believed in a long term approach with managers - it rarely works as it’s short term game. Exeter have a long term approach and it’s got them nowhere.
Paul TisdaleWith whom would you replace Robins ?
Unlike us where sacking managers has been a success
Which is why it's naive for people to say things like 'we're only 2 wins off the autos' at this point of the season, like that's some kind of reasonable measurement of how well we're doing. Yeah, we are. Us and 5 other teams are, who would all have to lose both games for that gap to be recovered and don't discount Crawley who are this year's team to come from absolutely nowhere, they were 4 points of relegation in mid December. We need a better run than we've had all season to claw those points back on the Autos with only 16 games to go. Can see teams needing 80 points just to hit playoffs this year which is going to put immense pressure on our final 8 home games unless our away form dramatically improves.Team P GD Pts

The league table at this same time as last year makes for interesting reading. We would be sitting between 3rd and 4th this time last year.
Table is so tight this year. its crazy! Lincoln have 49 points and are in 9th place!!

Totally agree, January as a club we could not sensibly do much more.
Targets were identified in strikers and eliminated as the days ticked by.
I do find it funny tho how some are mocking a 25k bid for 32 year old Tom Pope who still would of commanded a huge wage on top of a cash offer. This is a man who however pivotal in L2 should we get promotion be deadwood in L1 and also was available for free last summer and many said was slow and shit we need better.
We've brought in JCH who will be a success in L2 once is match sharp and can make the transition into L1 should we get there and the deal is sensible should we need to pull the plug.

48 points left to play for. We need 10 wins from 16, 8 home matches, 8 away.
Which is why I keep saying we need to turn our form around. It's a clear as day.in our last 4 away league games we've won 1, poor in another and abysmal in the other 2.
Ignore that if you want.
And if it was to be 10 wins from 16 matches that would be a very big ask.Which is why it's naive for people to say things like 'we're only 2 wins off the autos' at this point of the season, like that's some kind of reasonable measurement of how well we're doing.

You are talking playoffs, the 10 wins suggested by Esoterica I would regard as to being for automatic promotion.Fact is 6 wins may be enough for play offs.
Who says we need 10 wins.
Might only need 6 wins , 5 draws and 5 defeats. Another 23 points. Equates to 73 points maybe enough for 7th.
Or 7 wins, 4 draws and 5 defeats. 75 points. Which practically in 9/10 seasons get you play offs
it's important we get those 6 wins vs teams above us or around us. And lose to teams in bottom half.
Rather than other way around.
Nope he said he thinks 80 points just for play offs.You are talking playoffs, the 10 wins suggested by Esoterica was in regard to automatic promotion.
