Do you think they're that bothered about what he's said to the press vs what he's said to them? Honestly, this forum at times.

I'm sure you're right when he tells the press the players are weak and cowardly they don't care at all.
This forum when people don't understand basic human behaviour.
Duh.

Robins is absolutely spot on about managing expectation

It would be a minor miracle for us ever to get close to automatic promotion with parachute payments the way that they are and if people have got carried away and convinced themselves we are going to be a shoe in for the Top 2 then that is on them if/when they are disappointed I'm afraid
Click to expand...
Well, when you are playing shit and approaching drop zone territory 'managing expectations' tends to turn up front and centre.
It's not really a badge of honour for a manager.

To be fair, anyone who didn't know that the autos is pretty much a pipe dream and the race for a play off place is a 12 to 14 team slog should probably be looking to do something else with their Saturdays.

That is fair, but the wretched form and performances have certainly not been acceptable. The team should be doing better than it is from the fixture’s it’s had.

Maybe he is trying to a light a fire under them, bring them out fighting?

Last year we got outmuscled at Preston.

Big game for Robins. If we lose tomorrow (as most are expecting), then we have to beat QPR for me otherwise he's gone

There's that and there's this though isn't there. This season is like me shitting on my wife's pillow every weekend and telling her to manage her expectations on marriage when she asks me to stop.

Fallout over an U21 game?

Don’t think anyone would’ve cared. It’s basically training.

Preston away with our current form isn’t the game for him anyway. Doubt there’ll be much space in behind and I expect it to be a bit of a slog between two teams struggling for form.
Click to expand...
I'd sooner him than Simms.
We need someone who can put a shift in, and that's not Simms's best attribute.
And although Thomas Asante works hard, he's not exactly a natural finisher.

Ifollow had full replays last season. Now it’s hit and miss. Sometimes full game but no commentary, sometimes highlights only

Greenwood - Frokjaer

Whatever the record, if we can't beat this shower of shite then we might as well never ever show up to Deepdale again.

MR: You think you’re clever do you? Swearing and shouting at people? Can’t you think of something constructive to say? Because if you can, I’d like to hear it.

@BlueSkiesForever: Yeah alright: Why don’t you play two people up front instead of one?

MR: Two, ok, anything else?

@TomRad85: Yeah why don’t you switch EMC from the right to the left because he’s a lot more of a threat?

@BlueSkiesForever: Put BTA into an attacking midfield role, Rudoni drops back and he shores up the defence!

MR: *nods in agreement*

@TomRad85: And get Wright to make some jinking runs into the box like he does for his country?

@BlueSkiesForever: And put Ellis and Bassette alongside each other up front you’ve got an effective partnership of strength and skill!

MR: Fuck off!

Why? - It's a discounted season ticket if we get to the Premier League?

Correct me if I am wrong but King has specifically stated the aim for the next 5 years has to be to be in and around the Play-Off mix

Bookies have been over-rating us big time recently. The odds on Sheffield Wednesday to win in our last game were very high, would have made good money backing against us.

Robins perception is that we have been playing well without getting the points. I must be watching different matches because in the main we have been awful, with the occasional decent performance (Oxford, Blackburn, Spurs).
