Last season, about 40 goals from Wright and Simms..last season Robin's did the same early on.
When he figured it out, at QPR away, we win. Last yr, Wright left, Simms CF, Saka right. Saka not mentally right after injury. Wright left, Simms and Basette up front, Asanti (12 last year) on the right. Go for it, stop worrying about them, let them worry about us

Very concerned that Robins cannot figure out who should play in goal, fairly basic, three different number one keepers in 6 months. That is not right.

Personally I would like a young promising manager. Edin Terzic is available, but unrealistic, so someone like Robbie Keane. Another option could be David Wagner.
Loads of managers are out of work. Lampard, Xavi, Vieira, Potter etc. Would King pay compensation for a manager already in a job? That's why I said it's not my job.

King is absolutely the sort to appoint a “name” but not pay the going rate so end up with a Rooney at Derby style appointment.

Are you deluded? We can all have somebody in mind but it will make absolutely no difference because we do not own the football club. Just for you if I did own the club I would be attempting to get Eustace or David Moyes. Happy.

This is a concern I have - that being said, Robbie Keane is a punt worth taking given he’d have to sack Robins who ultimately a legend

Yeah I'm far from convinced that getting rid of Robins will be some great turning point and we'll be charging towards the play offs. We had 27 years of if we just change the manager everything will be OK and ended up in League 2!

Speaking of mental health support, and therapy, you should sign up for it.

We are all allowed to disagree on here and hold passionate opinions of the club, but 95% of your posts on here are just swipes at other people. Why do you even bother posting? You seriously come across as being miserable at life, and your attempt today to argue with most of the board just backs that up. You barely ever comment on how you have seen a match, or what you think of certain players, or how we can improve. All you do is have a pop at other people for the way they think.

Maybe it is time to revaluate your life, because you come across as an absolute c**t.

It's been an issue since he returned to the club.
And every time it looks like we've got a decent number 1 they go to pieces.

I do not respect you as a person or a poster, so the pissed up rant is a bit wasted on me- but I confess I am honoured to be the subject of your daily early hours waffly attempt to get all macho with someone, as you attempt to offload some of the bitterness at life you carry with you. It’s not normal to be so angry, you need help

Various people getting the blame, new back room staff etc, but if MR has had personal issues as suggested (someone said a bereavement?) is just a case that his head isn’t in it atm and that is affecting the players? Perhaps his tactics aren’t cohesive and they’re confused resulting in perceived lack of application?

With a lot of new coaching staff there’s nobody experienced to step in and fill the gap in leadership quietly in the background and things are perhaps a bit rudderless.

I think give MR time to get his head straight then give him a run of games and see where we are.

Got to be honest, based on his post-match comments, I think this is the beginning of the end.

Robins has said he’s involved in the decision making on the coaches.

Robins also fell out with Adi. Robins said the quality of applicants for the the assistant manager led him to appoint 2 coaches rather than an assistant.

Robins has backed the club to move to an elite level structure and said Dr Claire has been great.

We’ve had record season ticket sales and the CBS packed. Shirt sales off the scale. Doug is sorting income streams into the club.

There’s been significant investment such as the training ground, Robins has been backed with money to spend on players more than any other manager in our history.

It was Robins decision to appoint his mate Dean Austin as Head of Recruitment. He approves with Dean the players to go for after recommendations.

Robins makes the team selection and selects the tactics. He keeps saying the players aren’t carrying out instructions. The players look like they can’t be arsed.

Robins has done wonders for the club over the years but all the above points to him being backed and failing to deliver right now. He’s in a fight to save his job. I hope he sorts it but he’s got no where to turn right now.

I think he is absolutely not the sort to do that.

much more likely to make a data led decision.

Not unless he gets Robin's to walk for nothing, then that leaves the new guy 4 seasons to get top six!

What beyond Robins explains regularly how we are now using data to support with recruitment and data to support with player conditioning etc ??

or the fact we we have licensed a data pack to study opposition teams in the way premier league clubs do …

We quite clearly use data for recruitment in a more strategic way under King

MR could murder kittens on live tv and people would still blame the coaches.

Nothing is ever black and white but people seem a little blinded right now. This is on MR to fix, and he has 2 games IMO.

Yes. Now we spend £4.5m on Ephron Mason Clarke and sign a new first team keeper every five minutes.

Transfer policy has gone off a cliff since King arrived. It used to be the envy of the league, now it’s spending £45m to get relegated.
