For the first time this season I cannot face giving my opinion on ratings. However, we have to start on Monday with O'Hare, Gyokeres and Walker as front 3. It may be too early but I would also be tempted to start Eccles. He should be pleased with his individual performance on his championship debut. The performance in the first half was as bizarre as the starting lineup.
Marosi would have been my motm until that 3rd goal blunder. However how the shot was able to come in so easy was very poor.
Marosi 7
Osti 6
McCallum 6
The rest 4 at best
Da Costa is never a wing back 2
Robins. Set it up all wrong and after two weeks off had a weak plan and failed to inspire 3
Looks about right apart from James who was a 4Marosi 6
DaCosta 2

No MOTM today what so ever
Must have been getting training from the captain of the Ever Given! Probably spent the past couple of weeks stuck in the Suez Canal. Certainly been nowhere near the training pitches given his appalling performances this whole seasonShipley 2 (Literally like the ark royal-turns like a large ship, moves like a large ship, first touch like a large ship and generally when given an opportunity this season has been a really stinker ship)
Where do you stand on his job security OSB?

Every manager has a sell by date but I think the owners will stick with him, especially if we end up in league 1
I think myself that championship is a step too far for him. If we stay up and begin badly next season I think he will be gone
We as a team are in the championship probably 2 or 3 years too early based on what we have seen. We don't seem to have the toughness to compete at this level and that's down in large part to MR
Got to consider what he’s done in recent years though. Two promotions and not played a home game for a couple of years ?!
I think he’s too defensive/negative in a lot of the games (stems from an absolute dogshit defence) but also had two main strikers and captain not fully fit for most of the season.
Not playing at home hasn't stopped the promotions has it ?
All teams get injuries
What worries me is that he doesn't adapt things well, gets stuck in a rut expecting something that repeatedly fails to work next time.
It is a tough gig but this is very much his team and the direction he leads at this level is not clear and translates on to the pitch
If we stay up I hate to think that Robins will blow a lot of our budget on getting Matty James in. He’s not a poor player but no better than Kelly or Sheaf. I actually think we’ve missed Sheaf these last few weeks. He can dictate the play,, and our passing has gone down the toilet since he’s been out.
He was given funds to bring in players in January?If we get relegated Mark Robins will surely have to look seriously at his position, I hate to say that. Either he hasn’t got the nouse for the championship or the available finance to progress his ideas, that was evident in the January transfer window when it was clear we needed experience injected into the team, remember most our better players were injured with no idea when they would be returning.
That doesn’t mean we should have spunked money on transfer fees by the way but upping the wage budget to get a couple of decent loans in for six months as we have with Matty James I’m sure would have given us more wins and points. Even at £10k a week about half a million quid in total, yes a lot of money but with survival the prize and guaranteeing the money earned staying in the championship would have been cheaper than relegation. The bonus the Callum Wilson transfer to Newcastle could have surely covered that. Again remember in January our two main strikers were out with no sign of when they were returning, our goalie seriously crocked, Kelly a crucial player in midfield , Dabo, Rose and DaCosta all crocked. and Shipley and Allen struggling for form and add to that unknown to us fans at the time Biamou playing nursing a dodgy knee.
If getting in proper players on loan to help save the day was denied by our owner, why would he stay to struggle with the same problem again next season whatever division we end up in.

He signed James and GyökeresWhy didn't he use them then?
He signed James and Gyökeres
And Reid.He signed James and Gyökeres
Didn't say it was, and from what I hear, Reid is a decent young talent. He hasn't used his money well though, in all honesty.If you think loanees other Champ teams got rid of and an 18 year old kid is evidence of a massive transfer war chest I don’t know what to say.
