Now that's what I call a short corner
I do actually remember him playing for Rotherham. I have no memory of his top flight career at all. Some older posters will have seen him I'm sure.Does anyone remember Mark Robins as a player and what he was like?
He was in the Norwich team that finished 3rd in 1993 so must have had something about him!

As an overall journey over last 9 years it's definitely robins with a huge assist to lampard though. I like the analogy. I mean OP ripped off my original AI pic after all!As much as i love Robins and as much as ive given Lampard shit since hes been here i hope he gets all the credit For this season .
Yes Robins Helped build this team and yes robins got us to this division but frank was appointed with a job to do and if he wins us the league that is probably above and beyond even dougs expectations
Its his achievement , Robins is already rightly given the hero status for his own achievements

Yeah I agree. Im saying overall journey not this season.Ofcourse robins helped set the foundations but all the managerial and coaching side of things frank and joe should be credited with , its a huge deal to be promoted and an even bigger deal to win the championship it would be unfair if it was constantly labelled like he was aided by our previous coach
Frank Lampard has took the team to higher levels that I just don’t think Robins could have. It’s 100% his achievement and don’t see how, for example, we’d hit a 75%+ win record at home over 33 games under MR.As much as i love Robins and as much as ive given Lampard shit since hes been here i hope he gets all the credit For this season .

I only care about his work here which is more than many managers achieve in their EFL careers tbh .. but i generally agree with your postFrank Lampard has took the team to higher levels that I just don’t think Robins could have.

No disrespect to Robins career because he is a club legend, but he’s actually not had much success elsewhere. He’s done good jobs at place like Barnsley and Rotherham, nothing like the job he has in either of his spells with us.

Waghorn cocking it up in front of goal. Shock.As an overall journey over last 9 years it's definitely robins with a huge assist to lampard though. I like the analogy. I mean OP ripped off my original AI pic after all!

He was a very good player but not good enough for where Man Utd were heading under Ferguson hence his move to Norwich. It's hard to compare him to current players as formations have evolved but he was a better version of Conor Chaplin, he could get onto knock ons from a target man or drop deep and hit decent passes through defences. I don't think he had a lot of pace which may have stopped him going to a higher level.Does anyone remember Mark Robins as a player and what he was like?

Saw him score against us at Old Trafford.Does anyone remember Mark Robins as a player and what he was like?

100% agree. It’s all that matters and in that respect, he’s a legend that embodies our turnaround as a club.I'm the same, don't care what either man did before or after their time with us, just what they do here.

With the benefit of hindsight, I think he took us as far as he could.
Compared to the 2 decades before that:If we win the league though what a decade its been for supporters
2 x titles
1 x playoff win
Checkatrade trophy win
2x championship playoffs
Fa cup semi final
Tidy little striker, similar stature to Tony Cottee. Was a steadish type of player, all rounder type. - good squad player rather than nailed on 1st choice.I do actually remember him playing for Rotherham. I have no memory of his top flight career at all. Some older posters will have seen him I'm sure.
Reckon in another era he'd have got senior caps, especially when at Man U/first season at Nodge.Robins was a good player. I would describe him as a poacher but his all round play was prem level at the time
Without?Top of the Championship?
Looking at it possibly leeds 19/20When did a non-parachute team last win the league?
I don't really know what that means, to be honest. If the lottery of a penalty shoot out had have gone our way, or if Hamer hadn't gone off in the play off final, he could have taken us further.With the benefit of hindsight, I think he took us as far as he could.
And yet you still had to queue for a beer at half time!Compared to the 2 decades before that:
3 x relegation
2 x FA Cup QF
1 x EFL Trophy Semi
Craig Bellamy
Lee Hughes
Don't know they're born, the young 'uns!

That was a one-off. 23/24 we were well off the playoffs and in 24/25, we wouldn’t have made the playoffs with Robins.I don't really know what that means, to be honest. If the lottery of a penalty shoot out had have gone our way, or if Hamer hadn't gone off in the play off final, he could have taken us further.
It looked as if it had run its course by the time he left, though. Is that saying the same thing?
Saying 'as far as he could' suggests a ceiling, which is obviously not the case.
