Maybe Wriddrington didn't really wont Baka at Bristol Rovers he just put the word out in the hope Robins took the bait?
I agree with that, but this is what worries me.We've played 5 games. It's not looking great at the moment but lets see where we are after another 5.
Bor off you twat. Your like a fart in a space suitThe clock is ticking again Robins.... sell your top goal scorer without a replacement lined up is sacrilege and now it’s costing you. The scatter-gun approach to recruitment does not work either and now the squad is falling out with you, bad times.
Ah shit, I have just merged the 02476 555 555 thread into this one by mistake. Apologies!
it's funny because it's a taxi number like your taxi for robins thread xYeah I rather liked my title

So subtle I had to google it. Strangely there are many towns & cities in UK with taxi companies with the number 555555. Must be some joined up thinking going on there at least.More subtle though
I'll give you a 'like' for the Red Arrows comment.To be fair he's right.
How can you say we have no plan B? We've already tried more formations than the Red Arrows. What he doesn't seem to have at the moment is any semblance of a plan that works effectively.
And we already tried Godfrey...& that didn't work out either!Everyone needs to calm down
We need Captain Mainwaring not Corporal Jones

Completely agree.I’d give him two weeks to sort the debacle out or he has to go.
The whole thing is a shambles.
He’s let players go without replacing them, signed a glut of forwards in the Biamou mode I.e non scoring and non threatening (as well as bizarre giving a player like Biamou in nil demand a 3 year deal) is sounding like Micky Adams in interviews (he will soon be saying “Mark Robins think this”)
Also - like Adams - has fell out with players and won’t play them and freely admits many are unfit and not ready
Unless this turns round very quickly he must go
Yet you’re going to plant a not very subtle seed about financial restrictions anyway despite no evidence whatsoeverNeither of you - unless you're insiders - have any clue to the financial or footballing restrictions he might be working under. I know I don't.
When both Nick and Grendel start briefing against a manager of a higher status and quality than we have any real right to expect, and after only 4 league games to boot, then it's time to get out those 'Russell Slade is our Saviour' T-shirts, and start planning next season's away trips to Yeovil, Forest Green and Morecombe. Neither of you - unless you're insiders - have any clue to the financial or footballing restrictions he might be working under. I know I don't. Getting rid of Mowbray didn't work out too well for us. Be careful what you wish for.

Higher status than we expect? Explain.
As for restrictions go and have a look at Accrington
I agree with that, but this is what worries me.

Hopefully within a few games we will see an improvement on the field but 55 years experience as a football supporter tells me that if some of the above are anywhere near accurate, we have big problems.

So in other words he isn’t of a higher status as this is where he has managed clubs - leagues 1 or 2
Thing is, I don't think it's the players. I don't think all the signings are 'awful'. I think it's the systems and the tactics.Well what can i say what hasn't already been said, we have problems all over over the pitch,we should go back to basics,a 4-4-2 and go from there,maybe Ponticelli up front too.
My surprise is, listening to Robins he seems surprised that we are playing so awful at the moment and he is wondering why his tactic are just not working,he seems blind to the obvious but it is still early on,but i know it cannot continue like this before actions needing to be taken.
Mowbray manages in a higher league currently and is doing ok I suppose.
It’s just that I looked back over old posts (when I had a couple of hours to kill on a train) and I did notice that is was the same 8 or so people posting now who were also posting Mowbray out ..
.. those same people were a lot quieter on the Slade threads.
I imagine this was because they shouted loudly about getting rid of Mowbray with no clear plan beyond a replacement (caretaker or otherwise).
Now, I’m not saying Robins’ will get things right and Tuesday night was absolutely awful but it has bordered on hysterical on here the last couple of day’s!
I do notice it’s seems to be those same aforementioned posters from Mowbray day’s.
They know better than everyone else and tend to get a little aggressive, as much as you can be a shouter through a keyboard, with those who disagree.
In summary. It does seem as though, when I come on here, that it’s the same 20 or so people arguing with each other.
I would also suggest if you’re not making up “rumours” to back up your arguments, it would be helpful to be specific about your sources?
We can all just relax a little bit, at least until after the Barnsley game, doesn’t mean you care any less than anybody else.
I reckon if we are bottom mid September he will be ejected. Let’s see what he can do
I agree with that, but this is what worries me.
