Did Dave get a bit twitchy? I mean seriously his decision to play Wilson was wrong and that’s it isn’t it?

Nope comments about godden playing on his own. He scored 2!!!!!!!

Shipley got some hate too but robins got the most for his favouritism to Wilson after two good performances in the previous games.

Many people said no chance of a result and would take a draw at best

It’s ok to admit you got it wrong mate

I’m sure Dave doesn’t give a toss about your or anyone else’s negative comments on here

What’s embarrassing are the cunts that continuously bore people to death by calling for him to be sacked to be replaced by jobbers like Kenny Fucking Jackett. Nice try G but you’re a negative imbecile that genuinely knows barely anything about the game. Fed up of your anti Robins bollocks

You play a character on here, I genuinely enjoy your posts but we’ve just won 4-1 away from home and you’re trying to pick the negatives. It’s boring. Plus you called for taxis for Robins, ridiculous

I can see us starting away games now on with the box if not changing it towards end of games. And think all the away wins we have started with the system.

Blackpool-newly promoted
Hull-shite
Peterborough-shite

We look better with more control of the midfield which it certainly affords us though. At home though it just looks to give masses of space over to the opposition. More quality needed regardless of what the formation is.

If you wanted to play devils advocate and nit pick; he can be frustrating at times, namely his use (or lack of) substitutions, and I think his default tactics are to be more defensive.

But how anyone still doubts him I have no idea. It’s back to being agenda central on here when people do. I doubt they even think it themselves, but it’s fun to play Mr/Mrs Opposite and/or others have to double down on previously made anti-MR comments.

Inevitably at some point his time here will come to an end, but that should not be for a long time yet. He’s the victim of his own success, by starting so well he’s set an expectation.

Blackpool are having a good season to be fair and posh have taken points at home from Bournemouth, Huddersfield, qpr ..so at home they aren't really a pushover usually at home .. it's a tough league

Now, if we perform the same and get results against our next opponents we can talk!

THATS what will win you over? Not the two promotions and year on year progress to the point we’re even dreaming of promotion to the premier league?

No manager is faultless but what he's built from when he took over is fantastic.


We've had very credible away results recently against Peterborough, Bournemouth, Huddersfield and Sheffield Utd. Some disappointing results along the way also but Swansea played very well for there win, West Brom are a good side who were better than us on the day and Birmingham was disappointing but performance wasn't terrible on the night, just couldn't get the win and these things happen in football. Millwall was terrible made all the worse by the fact they were dog shit.

Our away form has improved and we had a fantastic result mixed in against Bristol with only 10 men.

We didn't play for about 3 weeks in December and also had the new years day fixture postponed, it was 6 games without a win. But let's use the phrase first win in 2 months as it makes the form sound worse than it actually is.

It will be a sad day for the club when Robins decides to call it a day, hope he is here for at least the next 10 years

Yes we did but we didn't get the result we wanted. Playing well is great but we need points on the board, we've had a blip in form in the last 6 weeks so hopefully yesterday will kick-start a good run

Not sure how year on year promotions is relevant to our form in the last 6 weeks?

All I'm saying is it was a great win yesterday but against one of the poorer teams in the league. If we can replicate that in our next three games against QPR, Stoke and Boro then we can talk about us being in the top 6 again

We really don't have a divine right to be in the top 6 though , we are still punching above our financial weight full stop .

The last 6 weeks haven't been dreadful by any stretch ,there's an awful lot of drama queen's on here isn't there . I'd understand that point if we'd been turning up getting rolled over every other match but we haven't been

Fans are starting to think we are something we aren't again which is never good , yea we had a good first 10 games but it's a 46 game season and we've a lower end budget .

Lets be real again , if the lads can push top 6 it's beyond expectations not THE expectation

No we don't have a divine right to be in the top 6 but we were for most of the first half of the season (which we deserved) so we should try and aim to stay there

I never said the last 6 weeks have been dreadful, I was referring to our form which is based on results. You can play well all you like but if you don't get points on the board you won't win prizes

It was a great win yesterday and I truly hope it kick-starts another good run of form but I'd reserve judgement until we play some of the teams around us which the next three games are and see where that takes us

Nor me but there should be no reason why not, as you say we've been in most games this season so got to make the fine margins count.

If we want to get back into the top 6 we have to put a decent run and look to win against the teams around us, which we play in our n ft three games

Apologies - I thought you were talking about Robins, not the prospect of top 6.
