This isnt a Robins out post

But what I will say is, for the first time in his tenure, I genuinely believe he hasnt got a fucking clue how to resolve this and seems lost

As a manager, what did he do wrong tonight?

He's set a team out thats created numerous opportunities and conceded very few. Individual error by Wilson and then conceding an offside goal on the break.

apart from strikers not scoring, i dont thinks its as simple as that, we havent got that spark that really brought an attack alive.

you could see from today, we're just stood at the penalty area not knowing what to do with it.

we havent got a solid first choice team, it changes everyweek, when we bough two strikers for combined, what £13m, knowing you've got to play both of them cause you've spent serious money for them but not got the formation for it, its going to fall apart like wet cake.

i dont even know what the problem is, but sacking MR isnt the solution

He must be so frustrated, our recruitment looks poor, we should be seeing positive signs of progress by now, but we are going backwards, and our options are limited.

We need to get to the next transfer window before we drop into the bottom 3, some of these players don't look like they'd fancy a relegation scrap.

"Numerous opportunities"

Keeper didn't get his kit dirty.

When it was 1-0 we had no clue how to get back into the game.

I think he's struggling to fix it. The fact he's stood watching Eccles put those corners in and doesn't tell somebody else to take them.

He's had plenty to spend this year, he has no excuses to hide behind

Let's not pretend he's not involved with recruitment when players are bad.

i dont thibnk its about the losing, esp to those two goals, or the lack of finishing, its the lack of development in attack.

On sky they were on about Robins being upset about the new rule in the technical area as Viveash is the voice.

We didn’t create much but it’s fair to say that Wright should have had 2 and Allen 1.

More that Viveash takes the lead, doesn’t he take training as well?

I'm not excusing him at all. But not replacing Hamer, and having the smallest squad in the league isn't helping us.

We know MR wanted more players in.

We have to admit we just aren't good enough


The signings just aren't good enough

Mark Robins is a great manager, but he can't do the players job for them

I wouldn't want to see Robins sacked but I fear he could be two games away from the sack. Fully expect us to lose to Preston and Stoke as well.

Haha… Robins just said to the players don’t lose your confidence and keep working hard. Fuck me… I’d hate to see them if they lose confidence then

The problem mainly lies in midfield. We have absolutely nothing coming from the centre.

It would be nuts to sack Robins if he loses the next two.

Yea, when we all said Hamer's replacement was the priority. And don't get me started on the fee for kitching. We've had our pants pulled right down.

@fernandopartridge hammered me the other day for a slightly tongue in cheek post about his new saying being 'give it time' and he's basically on repeat again.

It literally is the new 'this is what we are up against' and 'we cannot compete with the wage budgets' that he's said for the past 5 years.

He's not necessarily wrong with either statements.
