Probably delighted that he won’t have to refund £2.5 million any time soonNothing's going our way at the minute. We need to be picking up results quickly. I wonder how Doug King is feeling at the moment with all the 'premier league season tickets' sold.
Brings back memories of 'Operation Premiership'....
Late to the party on this thread, but this is a great post. We sometimes lose sight of the bigger picture.I think the opposite. I'm quite confident he knows what needs to be done.
I think the difference is that I am willing to be patient. I'm not putting down anyone who isn't but I am just quite calm about the whole situation and obviously that's a good thing for me in terms of stress and panic etc
Imo this is year 1 of a rebuild that might take years. The version of kithcing or Simms or wright or MVE we see right now isn't the version we will see long term imo. Next summer we don't need to completely change everything. The players will mostly stay and know our tactics and what robins wants inside out over next 2-3 seasons.
We will have a chance at promotion if we stick with robins and his current plan. He recruited for long term. So Nov 1st ain't time to say recruitment team should be sacked etc
Keep the faith. Hopefully Doug will too.

As poor as his corners have been recently, just taking corners mean his key passes and xA will be higher than anyone who doesn't take set pieces.Eccles is average, saying he's top of progressive passes and this and that is a red herring.
Simms and Wright will be at the top of the shooting charts for us but have still been poor this season.
Just cause that's the role he's been given in this team, to try and play progressive passes and create stuff doesn't mean he's been good at it.
Would love him as a squad player, you'd be very pleased if when Sheaf got injured earlier in the season Eccles was the player to come in to replace him but as a starting player he's not for me.

So the fact he's top of progressive passes means he hasn't been good at progressive passes?
Don’t know how you can’t understand the point being made tbh
Allen being wasted in that position was yet more punishment for the failure to recruit in midfield.He said that Eccles having a high number is progressive passes is a red herring because that's what he's in the team to do. So doing exactly what he's in the team for should be ignored because...reasons.
Anyway, Eccles was excellent today and helped change the game. Allen is not a CM, Eccles clearly far superior in that role.
Can't wait to get promoted to the XG Premier League.
I got mocked by the usual posters for this but it's turned out to be fairly accurate...So much panic, I think it will turn around.
We are sixth in the xg table 10 points better off, that at least shows we are creating enough chances. Once they start being taken we will be fine.
If we actually take the lead and teams come onto us we will create even more chances.
@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.
The original post was the most telling , and why we really should just accept that MR is truly a geniusThis 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

fernando was in fact correct
I doubt the rest of the championship are green with envy we’ve secured the likes of Haji Wright Bobby Thomas and a couple of championship journeymen on long term deals to build for the future
Is that @PVA and @skybluetony176 peering at ccfc on the TV after taking a break from the Ukraine thread

Haha never seen that before
Decent deflection that.
You'll be getting it for nowt, come on.Not really - there is one consistency - I’ll be renewing my season ticket next season
and poor old PVA still can’t afford one. As for Tony well…
Funnily enough Nicholas had to pivot to that as he was just about to say that Stelling was drink driving
