I really didn't either, that seemed crazy.
Although his subsequent career suggests we had the best of him!

Bottom half finish would be disappointing, but I would definitely see a relegation battle as a failure.Genuine question here - what do people think would represent failure this season?
Bottom half finish?
Relegation battle?
Failure to challenge for top 6?
What happened?
Same for meBottom half finish would be disappointing, but I would definitely see a relegation battle as a failure.

i dont think the squad is bad, its the tactics
why do we play hoof?
why is striker always on his own?
why dont we have pace on wing?
why do we have 2 deystroyers in centremid?
why not get a experienced keeper?
all questions to be asked of robins
we did live of mcnultys magic alot last season, i dont remember many games where i came away thinking we are much better than the opposition,and that was league 2
love what robins has done for us and he needs more time but i miss mowbray
Along with the views of Shrews fans who reckon Ryan Haynes may be their player of the season. I always rated him, but he didn't get enough of a consistent run in the side to endear himself to others.I really wish we'd have kept Stokes. He looked the part when we were in L1 before, he can cover the middle too and from the outside he seemed an integral part of the good squad atmosphere last season. I also didn't understand why we shipped Blair Adams out when we did either, we must be going for some kind of world record for leftbacks.
yup he ddint hug wing, was centre mid at times. thats bad management not rectify that earlyWe put Thomas out wide who does have pace, watching him last night it looked like he felt he also had to play centre mid as well the way he was drifting in to cover.
Did we actually get a single cross in?

I know i'll get lynched for saying this but he's not the man to take us forward.
He's proven time and time again this season that he's incapable of switching to a plan B.
He makes laughable substitutions far far too late in games to have any impact. Why?
He can't fix the simple things that cost us points and he seems to have zero learning agility.
He's set up defensively against shit teams, he constantly plays players out of position (even after when he's forced to play them in position they have a much better game).
He refuses to drop shit players like Burge and Haynes.
Even if we by the grace of god fluke it through the playoffs (if we make it) and get promoted, I still don't think he's the man to take us forwards. If countless people on a football forum can see things, how can't he when he's paid (with our ticket money) to focus on nothing but the football team?
Give it 10 games and see where we are.We were never going to get promoted this season, its all about adapting to a new league with the basis of the same Div 2 squad. No need to panic just yet.
Its not really about panicking or adapting to a new league though is it? There is clearly something wrong at the club which, unless sorted quickly will drag us down. We had money to spend in the close season, and it's not unreasonable to expect the majority of that to be spent wisely on players that fit a certain, pre-determined system which should have been settled on before the season started.We were never going to get promoted this season, its all about adapting to a new league with the basis of the same Div 2 squad.

If Robins had the players that Mowbray had in his first season we'd be in a lot better position I would have thought.
Intelligent input darlingWhat a load of shite.
First and foremost bakayoko needs a partner because 1 upfront is awful and simply not going to work .
Second we need to remove sterling from the side as he’s frankly not good enough at all and jack grimmer , a player who already has understanding with players like bayliss and Doyle needs to be back in .
Players need to be played in their correct position too .
Who plays 1 upfront when you can’t score goals , it’s bizarre and seems very strange and out of character for robins to persist with a system and players that don’t work
Intelligent input darling
I don't think it is that out of character as he did the same last season.
If something worked then it was a bonus, during a game if it wasn't working then it was very rare that he changed it and the game changed.
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.
Would love to see Armstrong winning headers as a lone striker.
Well it’s hard to say I agree with you .
You have to remember we probably finished as was expected within the budget we had as opposed to a few teams , we started the season slowly (as we are doing now )
I’m not really sure how we can imply that robins negatively effected the team all that much as we got promoted , did he make mistakes ? Of course , we’re his substitutions sometimes too late and bizarre ? Of course .
But I don’t remember him sticking with something that never worked game after game
Don't think he'd need to would he.

It's not really a plan B though because he tries random things. It's more desperate, Oxford the perfect example.
