You want an apology for being wrong? That's a weird flex you have going on.

No it would be good of you to accept making the original point irrespective of changing your mind last week

What are you talking about? I said I'd said something, you said I didn't and I showed you the post. You then went off on some weird post spree trying to change the nature of your argument.

It was weird but the basic fact remains I did say what you accused me of lying about saying. End of story

You’re throwing away a steady job for a lottery ticket. Managers who outperform their wage bracket to the extent you’re expecting are like hens teeth. We’ve found exactly one in twenty years and you want to sack him.

Aside from anything else, if you can’t allow a manager a poor run of less than 10 games at a significantly higher level after three years of continual success, when they hell can you? If you ran the club it’s be Richardson and his paying off five managers at a time all over again.

As much as you wish it were true to save your face, Robins isn’t the problem anything like as much as the fact we’ve got a L1 squad in the Championship.

At Portsmouth League 1. His over all average is lower.

We are Championship.

Jacket? I would rather have the Barnsley manger whose track record is much better.

If we were going to change Manager I would look at Nigel Pearson before Jacket?

Struggling to understand the overreaction to the defeat the other night. We knew it was going to be a hard season and survival was the goal. It's not that long ago fans were saying Robins is our hero.
Yes, it was a very poor performance but we can and will improve. Emotions run high when we lose especially after such a poor performance but it's too early to round on the team and the manager.

Why though? You like stats and the bump theory is short term if not a complete myth?

Does it make statistical sense to sack a football manager?

As the English Premier League kicks off again, the top three clubs have new managers. But, statistically speaking, do managers really make a difference to a team's performance?

We’d never heard of our last 3. One got us promoted, the last one kept us up, and now we’ve got this lad from Lask Linz. We get our head coaches from Europe these days, because they’re used to the way we’re run, with an head of recruitment and scouting network that’s bringing in players, who can play the style of football the club wants to, each of our last three head coaches have the same footballing philosophy, which is the way the club wants to play and recruits for, so the transition from one coach to the next isn’t that difficult for us. Which always gives them chance of hitting the ground running.

So you might agree that going from Robins to Kenny Jackett is...inconsistent shall we say

To all you guys panicking I say stick with Mark Robins. Rome wasn’t built in a day (nor was the Ricoh or St Andrews). A new manager with same budget is not the answer.

At least it’s got O Drivel to pretend he’s interested in football. I’m surprised he’s not pushing Gerry Adams for the job and having a stand - or perhaps a seat as he was a bit tiny when he died - after his hero Bobby Sands

This doesn’t happen to us, because we have a high turn over of coaches and players, we’re always scouting the next one, I’ve no doubt that at this very moment we have 3or4 coaches on our radar that we’re keeping a watchful eye on, ready for when this latest recruit moves on. With us it’s part of the plan, they tend to fit in perfectly because of the long term planning that’s gone into it. We don’t often get it wrong, because we’re not scrambling around in a couple of week window looking for the next man.

Probably curse us by saying this on match day but Reading's run of form is freakish & unsustainable...
I'm sure every team they've played so far has said similar but it's possible we could nick something from this.

They are 14th in the XG table & their shot conversation % is off the charts.

Opta suggest they've had just 48 shots (we've had 52!) but they've scored 31% of them whilst typical Championship conversion rate is around 11-12%!

That said they are still a very good side & whilst results have flattered them they are defensively solid & clinical in attack; 2 things we are anything but...

It'll take a massive improvement from us but it's not a foregone conclusion that we can't nick a point.

If we play like we’ve already been beat tomorrow and then get beat by Forest, Watford and Blues, I’d give Robins the dreaded vote of confidence.

I like Robins but he’s not really selling me he can manage at the higher levels right now.

We will almost certainly be beaten tonight if the team don’t turn up until tomorrow
