5/6 more games and it’s half a season of continual decline, not exactly a blip then is it
5/6 more games and it’s half a season of continual decline, not exactly a blip then is itA question we've not had to answer for a very long time in footballing terms is when do you know that it really is time for a manager to move on as opposed to it just being another bad spell?
With Southgate in charge of England it became obvious even to him. Most cases aren't that clear cut5/6 more games and it’s half a season of continual decline, not exactly a blip then is it

Just a coincidence mate.His last post was the same day you joined , massive massive massive coincidence
Most influential signing
In Robins second stint Liam Kelly for me but there are at least a few more who’ve played from league 2 and don’t look out of plane in the championshipwww.skybluestalk.co.uk
Post #26 mate. Maybe you said something earlier mate but that's when I first mentioned it.
Before the Blackburn game I was thinking of starting a thread saying I'd worked out what the problem was - Grendel hadn't posted a taxi thread yet!Very intrigued by the lack of a taxi thread from a certain poster. Maybe because it’s not as edgy a thing to say as in the past

Thought their segment was quite poor to be honest. They don’t seem to have actually watched us much and based a lot of their analysis on ‘Simms and Wright aren’t converting their chances and that’s the main issue’ and an idea that the performances hadn’t been that bad because the underlying numbers are ok. They were spot on about how mad it is to chop and change the keeper though.This thread gets a mention in Not The Top 20 episode today.
I’m now on the fence, he can turn this around but something just seems badly off atm, team has lost all spirit and robins hasn’t seemed his calm self all season, looks like he’s lost the dresssing room and if true he won’t get it back
No offence chief but if we’re building the squad around you then we really are fucked.Such a shame you can’t sack players.
Seems the recruitment team have really fucked I’m the squad rebuild and it’s already cost Ady his job and likely Robins too.

He has’nt suddenly become a bad manager overnight. He’ll fix it. If he thinks individuals are lazy or not working for whatever reason they’ll be gone. I don’t want to ride the manager merry go round for the next 5 years
Recruitment has been very poor, well done deanSuch a shame you can’t sack players.

Personally I think they're much bigger than just poor form, the team isn't working tactically. So I'd expect him to have a solution to that but I'm not sure he does.
11 very good individuals doesn't automatically equate to a good team.Recruitment has been very poor, well done dean
It isn’t Dean Austin who was adamant that we should sign Kitching at the expense of a loan CM.Recruitment has been very poor, well done dean
The owner would hold some responsibility for the obvious shortfall in defensive and midfield area's!Robins is a good manager. We have good players. But you see good “on paper” teams losing all the time. Something in the mix has gone wrong. It’s not tactics/formations/systems, it’s mindset. None of us know what has changed. A bad apple in the mix? A dislike of coaches? Cliques forming in the squad? The problem is we risk throwing the baby out with the bath water by laying it all at Robins door without knowing the real reason.
Been a long time coming.I posted on the Swansea match thread that Robins should sort things out or go. Got laughed at but now many people are saying the same thing.
So now I'm going to stick my neck out again and say I think MR will sort things out, starting with a win tomorrow.
Well as a Premier League manager, you probably know better than most on this forum!I posted on the Swansea match thread that Robins should sort things out or go. Got laughed at but now many people are saying the same thing.

No.was going to say it’s a big game tomorrow but probably not the best place to go to put in a season changing peformance, we couldn’t could we ?
Have the fans really inflated expectation levels?The biggest problem we have is the fans who inflated our expectation levels. No sorry their expectations levels.
They need to remember that 5 year Premier League package was a goal, an ambition and not a promise. Also we are barely into it.
We are misfiring but it is small margins. Not as much wrong as people think, a lot is confidence, we need to scuff a couple of results over the line.
