No manager is immune to criticism, even Robins who's been elite for us needs to be put under pressure when things are dire.

I don’t forget what he’s done he’s been superb

im not happy with his management in terms of team selection at the moment

Much better with the formation change. Actually having options ahead of you and pace down the channels works, whodathunk?

Sort the back four and GK out and there’s a team there. Didn’t expect to win today but thought we were unlucky. Barring defensive fuck ups we’d have been OK.

Next game:

Collins
Lats Thomas Binks Bidwell
Sheaf Ayari Eccles
Saka Simms Wright

Let’s see how it gets on.

Agree apart from Ayari. Allen wasn't great today but he offers far more than Ayari IMO

Second worst start in 10 years

I'm not calling for his head, but Robins is living on his reputation here
Click to expand...

Some still believe he’s untouchable, but anyone else their head would be called for.

No idea what has happened but something has to change.

Does he come out publicly and say he doesn’t rate this seasons buys? Does he slate the recruitment team? Does he accept he’s winging any plan B?

Poor Doug must be wondering if he’ll ever get any return on his investment of these players! Could have made £30m+ in the sales of Vik and Hamer, but has squandered a fair chunk of it on 11 duffs

Swap out Ayari with Allen, Saka or O Hare and I 100% agree.

And if we’d have gone up, we’d have been hammered every week.

Time to move on and accept this is where we are, and it can change with one win.

I just can’t with the final balls from midfield today. The rest of his game sure, but watching O’Hare and Allen give it away on the edge of the box constantly…

When O’Hare is fit he starts. But he’s clearly not.

Looked a lot better second half then gave away another awful goal. No denial now it’s all about survival this season.

Surely time for some stability and consistency now in defence. The constant chopping and changing can’t be right. Pick the best combination and let them develop an understanding on the pitch

We certainly looked more threatening with the formation change, I think Robins has almost no choice but to start with it next week.

Simms and Wright were good, Eccles made a big difference.

It's time Fadz was dropped.
Click to expand...
Agree with that but also drop Da Silva for Bidwell. Nice to actually see some fight towards the end hopefully this might kickstart our season.

All the players plus Robins came over at the end. Which is nice but I’d prefer some points on the board.

I mean he can't come out and say that, it would be very unprofessional.

The question for Doug is do you allow Robins to try and repair this mess in the January window?

Wright at least scored a couple of goals and looked better but generally the new signings look poor

If anything's come from that game it's that for better or worse, Simms and Wright have to be our first and second choice strikers.

Ayari should be no where near this 11.

Lats is not a RB so should be MVE.

Agree apart from that though.
