Robins seems very open and honest, and there's some players I think ear marked to be told they're not wanted I think.
Wonder who they are!?!
Hussey is one I would say! About time his attitude was picked upon
'Flecky did well in his first game back' The nicknames never stop! :facepalm:
I don't mind a manager nicknaming the players. It's when the players started referring to him as 'Robbsy' when we have to worry.
Aparrently Edge has been dropped because he doesn't speak fluent enough English so makes for bad communication along the back lineThought he was bottling a lot of anger tbf.
It's too early of course but signs are still there and he does not like what he witnessed today so I'm pleased that's recognised and won't be tolerated.
On the other side he said Brown did Ok and for me was surprised to see him included! Though the Edge has looked pretty good in a poor side up to now. may not be a Robin's style player though?
Did not understand Kilbane at left back either. Daniels still in midfield was strange too. can't see him appearing again though with Mousa leerking.
Baker did Ok and I did not think Macca was so bad considering he has been excluded up to now on the whole. He does still have quality and that will need to be nurtured again and think Robin's will do that. Jennings is not the work horse so many thought when we signed him. He'll plod all day - a bit like Doyle did but acheive absolutely nothing for his team except the odd game. I don't expect to see him play much under Robins.
Cody will be given his chance. Not sure he can play with McGoldrick in the same set up though.
Will be interesting to see how we form over the next few league games. Arsenal is a complete one off. I expect he may just play a few and have a go. If we get severely beaten he will use it as a tool for some wholesale changes. (most likely scenario)
Clearly he has more backing from SISU than most of us expected.
Not an increase in support today that a figure like Wise would have impacted but it will come...
