How bad do things need to get before we can start calling for Robins’ head? Any competent manager would have this side destroying dross like Preston, Millwall and Hull.

Sean Dyche in.

Be sensible.

Firstly, Dyche is supposed to be favourite for the Bournemouth job now Mowbray has amazingly landed on his feet at Sunderland.

And secondly, considering the start to our season, I'm certainly not doubting MR this early. If anything, the luck we had last season appears to have run dry at the moment. Another game, Waghorn's curling attempt doesn't take that vital Preston deflection and the ball hits the back of the net instead of the crossbar and bounces away. As we play more, the flow of play will improve.

Working with his hands tied behind his back but he tied them there and could release them any time he wants.

Yeah we’re fucked but a loss was on the cards tonight as soon as he decided the bench was going to be more talented than the pitch.

Joke. If we lose the back room staff now we're non league in 3. Stick with it however hard it is. Coventry never quits.

Robins will get it right in the end, he’s just having one of his regular spells where he does weird shit for a few games before landing on the right solutions.

He baffles at times with line ups and not making substitutions etc but apart from that he's a good manager with little to no money

Is it time to ditch the 5 at the back?

There is an argument to suggest that best we have played this season is when we switched to 4-3-3 at Sunderland

[

His first half once it settled wasn’t crap though, not what I would have picked but they all did a job first half, Allen has received shite as I knew he would but I thought he ran his nuts off, end product wasn’t good admittedly but he was all over they place chasing Preston down in midfield and young Eccles who has become a bit of a Shipley replacement for the boo boys had a nervy start but did okay once the game settled & until he went off, we certainly missed him defensively in that RWB slot when he went off and to be fair he ain’t a RWB.

It might be but to do that we need to have have the players. with 4 at the back you need two good defensive full backs who overlap with two decent wide men in front

In front of a flat back four there has to be a good defensive midfielder. good on the ball ideally, big with a bit of pace and a tough nut covering the central midfield area, Allen was doing that job okay to a digree yesterday but he’s just not tall enough, we need better but who ?
Is there anyone here who might be ?

Because you are ok once once we get to know you. Speaking in the 3rd person about yourself doesn’t help things though.

Win 3 on the bounce and he will be your hero - far too early to Judge - we will be ok just had an unsettling start

As soon as we have a weaker 11 im worried because his biggest flaw for me is not being able to change games with subs. Always to late, to safe or not at all.

Anyone calling for his head is mental though.

For me you always look at where we are after 10 games of the season. Undoubtedly this is Robins biggest test for a while. It’s not a happy camp behind the scenes.

With the upcoming run of games it’s going to be a while before we’re out of the bottom 3.

Quite possibly. Annoyingly our home games against opposition we should beat at home we’re cancelled.

Yes I agree - the games in hand will just add to the pressure if we’re in the bottom 3 still and struggling when they come around.

What a journey we've been on with MR at the helm. Given all that he's had to deal with he's suppased JH and George and John.

You seem to be under the very mistaken assumption I am not still firmly in the ‘Robins out’ camp.

He has taken us as far as he can go. We have a squad which any competent manager would have in the playoffs (this season or last). Instead, we’re celebrating reaching the dizzy heights of 15th.
