Had a gut feeling since last season that this will be MR’s last season. Not saying that I want him gone but reckon he’s got 4 more games. Can see us bringing in someone like Rosenior if he goes.

Agree with all of that apart from Binks. Probably the best of a bad bunch today.

Respect that but think Kitching is a better defender, Binks a better footballer. Not defending the box well enough atm.

I wish we’d stop this nonsense about Leadership.

Having a leader ain’t stopping Robins picking the wrong team, or playing the wrong formation and tactics.

Having some who can shot and grab the game by the scruff of the neck is brilliant but they can win games alone.

We don’t need leadership we need direction.

It’s a bloody rudderless ship at the moment.

Who is on the pitch with leadership qualities, because in spite of what you say, every team needs one. All the teams at the right end of the table have one.
You can blame Robins and with some justification, but when things are going wrong you need players who can grab the team and galvanised them. We've got absolutely no one .

It doesn’t help when none of our players have any composure in front of goal.

We get overrun when Allen plays, he's not good enough.

And bringing Dasilva on so late is obviously not going to change the game, that's my point.

Toro was rubbish and how the fuck would Da Silva change that game?

He's on the radio saying players didn't listen to him. Then going on about tiredness.

Said he had to get the players in at half time to tell the players to adjust? What the fuck. He does know he can talk to them in game, right?

Because Bidwell was knackered and Dasilva is better in the final third.

It's not difficult, even for someone who thinks Kenny Jackett and Gareth Ainsworth are incredible tacticians.

Robins has just said it was ‘unlike us’.

Sorry, but it was exactly like us at the minute. Slow to start and can’t defend the box.

I’ll understand if King gives Robins till the end of the season but I think this journey is coming to a close.

There are much smarter and tactical managers out there. Robins goes down in history for what he has done, but everyone has limitations, and it’s really evident now with a multi million pound squad.

Well robins thinks Allen should start games and Bidwell should have stayed on so are you saying he’s clueless?

Bidwell was one of the few trying to get forward at every opportunity. The sub was pointless, sorry.

Please tell.me he's not actually using tiredness as an excuse. They've just come back from two weeks off, we're a month into the season and he's got the biggest squad we've ever had

Don’t blame Jamie Allen for today. Didn’t need sports science and performance directors etc,etc to evaluate him for today.
Anyone there on Wednesday who watched him run himself into the ground,knew full well he would not be playing football today.
For the last ten minutes Wednesday he could barely walk,to pick him to start today was stupid beyond belief.
And as for Wright, since his last jaunt with the USA team , he hasn’t given two f**** about Coventry city.

Yes but he was knackered.

And agree it was pointless, as it was far too late.

It was obvious Allen was exhausted and should have been taken off against Tottenham.

He's losing the plot, we've been poor since the last quarter of last season, 2 cup runs have glossed over a piss poor league run.

Was spot on first 55 mins wasn't it?

It was clear from the 7th minute we were in trouble. 1 up top and they were just taking the piss out of Bassette chasing shadows.

And yet when we had it at the back we had absolutely no time whatever

Here here.

Finally someone talking common sense.

Robins has been great for us but after 7 years he's run his course.

This was exactly what I feared he'd do.

At home, letting them fanny about all game with the ball. Think it's 7 losses in 9 at home now?

I have no issue with this kind of criticism.

But as you say he goes down in history for what he's done yet I've seen posts saying 'fuck Robins' and 'hopefully' he gets sacked next week.

We were losing. He tried absolutely nothing to change that.

Just his trademark like for like planned subs.

Why not whack 2 up top?

"Nah, let's do the full back change"

Sad to say but I'm now questioning Robins. He's been used to flogging the same starting 11 to death previously and now he has a big squad and seems pretty clueless how to set them up or establish any meaningful game tactics . Worrying.
