What's that got to do with the point?
It's almost as if the default is to say he has a job for life and just ignore the point being raised.
What's that got to do with the point?Was gonna say something similar
Same on facebook
We were hoping to finish top 10 this season and we will I’m sure
Robins deserves so much gratitude and patience than many on here and Facebook and Twitter are willing to give him. It’s fuckin bananas it really is
I forgot about torp against Preston as well. No need for that if he was saying he was injured.Im with you. There is no doubt players are tired and the schedule has been relentless but the the rotation/changes has been strange. Why did Torp come off the bench for last 20 against Preston when he was coming back from a strain and we were 3 down. Ohare and MVE shouldn’t have been anywhere near Maidstone as both obviously fatigued recently. Also changing to wingbacks and asking MVE to do even more is also strange
Bizarrely though we appeared to have more energy second half last night. First half was just sloppy and disjointed. Can’t get my head around it but then again I don’t know all the details, like are certain players carrying knocks/strains, been ill etc
Annoyingly last night we had opportunities to put the ball in the box early but every time we took an extra touch and / or an extra pass and allowed West Brom to get set again.I do think we are guilty of the modern disease of wanting to stick to our principles and pass our way to the perfect goal even with minutes ticking away ….
in the past we would have taken Lati off, pushed up Kitchin and told him to ruffle their defenders abit and create some space and knock downs for Simms and Wright to exploit ….
now we stick to 5 at the back, 5 mins to go, still trying to pass it across the back line trying to stretch the opposition out of shape etc etc
I love the way we play but cmon guys time and a place …..
And then that goes back to the lack of movement in the box. The strikers don't know when the crosses are coming in because we slow it down and check back too often.Annoyingly last night we had opportunities to put the ball in the box early but every time we took an extra touch and / or an extra pass and allowed West Brom to get set again.

Easier to say when you’ve got a squad like Leeds, but not sure we can Jedi mind trick the players into being fully fit for five games in 16 days.Leeds manager just now on Sky “if we keeping talking about being tired the players will be tired. We moan afterwards not now. Now the players need to keep playing “
If you keep playing tired players they get injured.Leeds manager just now on Sky “if we keeping talking about being tired the players will be tired. We moan afterwards not now. Now the players need to keep playing “
Kitchin, Bidwell, Wright have had plenty of rest ahead of last nights match ….Easier to say when you’ve got a squad like Leeds, but not sure we can Jedi mind trick the players into being fully fit for five games in 16 days.

Yeah, you've got Kitching, Bidwell, Wright, Kelly and even Godden that have had plenty of rest.Kitchin, Bidwell, Wright have had plenty of rest ahead of last nights match ….
Binks, Da Silva were out the team for long periods.
Torp had a 2 month winter break
Simms hasn’t played that much football over the course of the last 4 months
Thomas, MVE, Eccles I can understand …..
Have you thought that maybe Robins has more information on fitness of individual players than we do? It's not just about how many matches they have played. There has also been talk about illness.Kitchin, Bidwell, Wright have had plenty of rest ahead of last nights match ….

Torp is coming off an injury, Simms has played in maybe every game, and Kitching/Bidwell/Wright all started three nights prior because we were Very Concerned that a team from the National League South would turn us over if we didn’t start as strong a team as possible.Kitchin, Bidwell, Wright have had plenty of rest ahead of last nights match ….

I've heard somebody else say similar, there is something in itLeeds manager just now on Sky “if we keeping talking about being tired the players will be tired. We moan afterwards not now. Now the players need to keep playing “
It's basically giving the players an excuse.I've heard somebody else say similar, there is something in it

I 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.
Yet he said he got it wrong.
Do you think Robins is persuaded by anything on here?
This is getting absurd now. Is he changing the team to annoy us or is he taking too much account if what we say on here?
He said he set us up wrong, not that he picked the wrong side.
Yeah setting us up does include picking the players.
