Yep, and the excuse was to "get Preston" out their system. That worked well.Keep hearing this excuse rolled out, small squad and players tired.
Yet against Maidstone we are cruising but he brings ohare, mve, dasilva and Eccles on.
If players are tired, bring the kids on off the bench as we are well ahead.
Actions don't match the words.
Yeah, his lack of subs is astounding.
Even tonight, WBA change half the side. We couldn't even bring on Godden.
Few of us saod that on here after the Monday game. It was a chance to give Eccles and mve a full rest and he still brought them on.Keep hearing this excuse rolled out, small squad and players tired.

He doesn't trust his squad, he has 13-14 outfield players he trusts and that's it's.Yeah, his lack of subs is astounding.

We had an even smaller squad last season and they seemed to cope alright.
Game was won by half time, he could have rested players then.Playing a team that strong against Maidstone when the fixtures are piling up like this was ridiculous. Robins shouldn’t have let King, Ipswich or the bedwetters on here convince him that resting key players would be a mistake against such poor opposition.

Will it be lesson learnt though?Football a funny old game, sometimes it works sometimes it don't lesson learnt

Do you think Robins is persuaded by anything on here?Playing a team that strong against Maidstone when the fixtures are piling up like this was ridiculous.

Well apparently playing kids was always asking for trouble and Maidstone would have punished us like they punished Ipswich - maybe Robins felt like he didn’t have a choice?It wasn't even that, it was the changes made even when the game was won.
Fair enough play a strong team and get a few goals, don't get a few goals and bring more first teamers on and moan about tiredness.
O'Hare missed a game through fatigue the other week, why bring him on at half time in a game we had already won?
If only we had the man who made that quote up front tonight, he would of scored I’m sureFootball a funny old game, sometimes it works sometimes it don't lesson learnt
He had a choice about the subs. Some players could have had a night sat on the bench and rested.Well apparently playing kids was always asking for trouble and Maidstone would have punished us like they punished Ipswich - maybe Robins felt like he didn’t have a choice?
It was a golden chance to rest players and we willingly turned it down so we could run up the score against a sixth tier side. Truly bizarre.
When they bought on another defender it was an opportunity to bring Godden and Fabio on to go all out at the end.Yeah, his lack of subs is astounding.

I fail to see the logic in finishing a game were losing with 3 CBs.
He had a choice about all of it. He should have given players the night off entirely. For whatever reason he felt compelled to start a side that was arguably stronger than the one we started with tonight - people on here were delighted.He had a choice about the subs.

I get the logic behind starting strong and taking the lead. However you then make changes when the game is won.He had a choice about all of it. He should have given players the night off entirely. For whatever reason he felt compelled to start a side that was arguably stronger than the one we started with tonight - people on here were delighted.
But he does have a habit of seemingly saying the right stuff post-match but then just doing the same thing in future.Yes. Even Robins as said as much in his interview
We move on, never an easy game
Was gonna say something similarI can only come to the conclusion, following the agreement by so many on here, of Robins often getting his tactics wrong, setting the teams up wrong, not picking the right players for games and not making substitutions at the right times in games, that he HAS to be sacked.
Seems he is lying about illnesses and players being tired and fatigued too.
DK should act immediately this morning and fire the utter barsteward.
I do love how we all have this crystal ball on the club.
A player is on the bench - he can't be ill
Oh yes he can. He might be able to only play a small bit part in a game. What would have happened if we had gone two nil down and then only had kids on the bench last night? We would have got annihilated.
Fact is, we don't know who was ill, how many were ill, who was just making up numbers in the bench.
We don't know has knocks and why they are not playing.
I am puzzled on the Bidwell/JDS and Wilson/Collins debate, but I don't know what is going on in the club on the matter. I trust Robins though
MR is quite a strict disciplinarian and plays his cards close to his chest. He had he reasons, we just don't know what they are.
He admitted he got it wrong last night and I always see him as someone who is quite truthful and to the point.
He's been absolutely brilliant for us, but with any one defeat, there is always a pile-on on here straight after, where all the players are shit and the manager doesn't know what he's doing.
I am seriously thinking about keeping off the forum for a day or two after any defeat, until everyone has calmed down and come to their senses. It's utter carnage and woe is me.
We did look very jaded last night and lacking energy.
Anyway, Robins has my 100% backing.
We WILL lose games and we WILL play badly and the manager WILL make mistakes. They all do, even the best managers in the world.
Anyway, I am off to enjoy my day.
I quite often avoid match day threads on game days and stay off here, or at least just glance over the football related posts, after a loss as there's a number of posters who seem to revel in doom and gloom.I am seriously thinking about keeping off the forum for a day or two after any defeat, until everyone has calmed down and come to their senses.
