These sort of things are usually said when the manager has lost the dressing room.

The guy needs an assistant, you can't just take away his right hand man and expect things to just carry on regardless. He's a lost soul out there

For me Robins totally got the system wrong so he should take the blame for that.

Im pleased the rubbish about sacking him has largely gone, but next time he's interviewed, can someone let him know that he's allowed to make tactical changes before the clockwork 61st minute.

led to believe there are ‘ongoing discussions’ around the future of MR at the club and I think his comments are those of someone looking to shift the blame - looks like the Rudoni slice of luck was just that, and MR struggles with ‘horses for courses’ tactics for the team in front of you…

….and I’ll say this until I’m blue in the face and don’t care what the sycophants say, we need a stronger midfield of Sheaf, Torp (at 10) and one other, Eccles playing a long hoof to their keeper with 30 seconds to go is criminal, he’s not the answer

1) you know fek all about Robins future so don't pretend that you do. I hardly think Doug has shared his thoughts with a gimp like you.
2) he accepted responsibility for tonight and didn't shift the blame on Rudi
3) what coaching badges do you hold to say he's tactically unable to see what's un front of him?
4) you're calling out two of our best performers that really aren't a problem. Of course we could do with another in there, two deals fell through, no point wasting on someone who isn't better
5) err yes I think I understand my own post, but if you want to play top trumps go for it.

resorting to calling me a ‘gimp’ is hardly a strong start to an argument…..

I’ve got my UEFA A licence seeing as you ask, so I’d say I probably know a fair bit, but you don’t need that to see he isn’t the strongest when it comes to setting up for what’s in front of you

I never said he blamed Rudi, and I haven’t called out any ‘strong performer’ but Josh Eccles wasn’t anything other than ordinary - don’t care about what might’ve been, that’s no excuse…

hyperbole isn’t what you meant, you just tried to use a big word to sound clever

No, I meant hyperbolic which is what I typed. I perfectly understand it thank you and if you would like to go down that route, then quite simply you'll look even sillier than you already do.

Uefa A licence professional coach are you? Copy on here or it's bullshit. Especially as you appear to know so little about the game. You'd certainly have more respect for Eccles or Robins if that was true.

Rudoni was fit. He plays that position. MR picked our best fit no. 8/10 and played him at LWB because it looked good for a bit vs. Luton. He could've started:

Dovin

MVE
Thomas
Binks
Da Silva

Sheaf
Eccles
Rudoni

Sakamoto
Thomas Assante
Wright

and none of those choices would've raised any eyebrows. Players in their best positions, picked on merit or as a decent option if others aren't fit.

To be fair why the feck do you get booked for decent after we have scored. I'd be fuming with him as well. He will now miss the Sunderland game.

Pressure is on him to get a massive performance at Sunderland now. Another loss into the international break and it will be doom here again.

The pressure is not massive for Sunderland. That’s something just made up on here. For some it’s as basic as lose one = Robins out. It’s ridiculous.

The manner of the loss too.

If we turn up at Sunderland and get turned over like we did at Leeds, the pressure will be massive again.

He has to let the shackles off.

The issue for me is that in successive summers we have had the intention of buying players to suit a certain formation and for whatever reason that hasn't worked. We then revert to a different formation unsuited to the acquisitions we have made. It gives the impression of pissing in the dark. The players signed therefore have not been good enough and there are obvious howlers regarding recruitment. MR doesn't seem to know his best 11 and is way too slow to change things when the formation is obviously not working. Maybe it's just that a good number of the squad just aren't up to it. I really don't know what the answer is and I'm not sure that Robins does either.

Agree Chris. But I think the 5 at the back with Rudoni is a bust now and for me was never really a good thing. So we should move back to the formation this years intake we envisaged to be in.

I agree 100% with this. The issue for me is that we have been chopping & changing which does ring alarm bells. I can only hope that the solution is found.

Exactly that. Surely over the last two seasons it’s been firmly established Sakamoto can only play wing and Wright (by far our best attacker) does best on the left side. Sometimes it’s very simple. Just play them there.

Spot on. I thought Wright looked very slow last night and not comfortable where he was at all.

Think something not mentioned about the offside which wound me up, is that the lads all just stopped including Milan.

I know there young lads but play to the whistle. We’ve done it a couple of times now and it’s a really bad habit

This is the issue isn’t it.

It’s not just bad results like last year when you thought once it gets going. The performances outside of the last two and Blackburn haven’t been good enough and it’s starting to get to the point when I don’t know why since it’s all of them.

I definitely think having so many kids on the bench, was a factor in Robins' thinking. It wasn't a strong bench tonight
Click to expand...
There were 5 “first team” outfield players on the bench - defence, midfield and attack. We are allowed 5 subs in a match. It’s not that long since 5 would have been the maximum number on the bench. We have had far, far weaker benches than that.
So presumably Robins ”thinking” must have been that the crap being played was good enough to get something out of the game and that they there was no need to change the schedule and players routine by using subs before 60 minutes.
