But probably see a lot we don't.
Nope, not anymore unfortunately, since I moved south, .so I do get it that I don't quite see what everyone in the ground sees.
So, what am I missing?
Yeah, fair point. I don't feel the same despair those who go feel for sure.That's why you're always happy. I pay 500 - 600 quid a year watching them though.
That is very true tooBut probably see a lot we don't.
Why not? Being in the ground makes no difference. I am a ST holder and it makes no difference. Despair is not something anyone should be feeling.Yeah, fair point. I don't feel the same despair those who go feel for sure.
He brought us up from League 2 and he’ll take us back down thereRobins has a job for life according to some on here.
Where's this free place?Bit like someone complaining that people who've paid for a bad meal aren't happy, while they sit there eating for free.
Surely it does make a difference doesn't it? People get ready, set off and head to the game. That takes time and effort. Then repeat everything at the end of the match.Why not?

See my post above.On your TV. Most people have been up since 8am, not getting home till 5pm. But you stay on your sofa moaning at people being unhappy.
Our poor run of form stretches back to the end of last season. Most players are the same as before. Over the last 10 league games our record is W1 D2 L7 with just 1 clean sheet. If that doesn’t ring alarm bells then I don’t know what will.Mad isn't it.
IF we are really struggling at Christmas, down near the bottom 3, then certainly we should seriously be considering MArk Robins' position
But we're not bottom 3 and it's not Christmas.
We're 4 games in.
The doom and gloom is rather OTT have to say.
I am a happy bloke. Treat every day as if it is my last day on earth.Fair enough. You're just a happy bloke. No intent meant directly at you. Have a good night
Not sure most players are the same. Not today anyway. 5 new players out there today during the game. Dovin, EMC, Rudoni, BTA, Bassette. That's nearly half a team.Our poor run of form stretches back to the end of last season. Most players are the same as before.

‘Turkey again ole ole’I am a happy bloke. Treat every day as if it is my last day on earth.
Life is too short and at my age, as soon as Christmas is over, it's Christmas again, because life goes by so fast.

Viveash has been here basically from the start. The thing is, for years MR has got his teams to be much more than the sum of their parts and to beat much more expensively assembled teams.I've made it clear that I am a massive Vivash fan and expressed my concerns that anyone who replaced him would have to be as good if not better.
That said, the last two seasons we started really badly and that happened when Adi was here. The CBS pitch debacle didn't help two years ago. Think how our second string played against Bristol City at Burton during that time.
It is way too early to see how the team will perform this season or to start asking questions about the Manager.
A couple of weeks ago, someone said to me MR was distinctly average in his second spell with us until Adi arrived. I wonder if a statto on here could prove if that is erroneous or not, as I can't find the info.
3 of those were subs. Still the team needs to be doing far better than they are.Not sure most players are the same. Not today anyway. 5 new players out there today during the game. Dovin, EMC, Rudoni, BTA, Bassette. That's nearly half a team.
I thought MR started off with his regular assistant who had to retire due to health problems. Can't remember how many games they were together at the City before Adi came in.Viveash has been here basically from the start. The thing is, for years MR has got his teams to be much more than the sum of their parts and to beat much more expensively assembled teams.
Now he has an expensively assembled squad and can’t get it to work.
Ironical isn’t it? They have no identity, don’t know what they’re doing or supposed to do, no cohesion or communication and the performances have been so lackluster. Week after week MR keeps lamenting about how disjointed we look and I’m frankly shocked that they have not worked on it during training. We also continue to defend set pieces very deep with nobody guarding the perimeter of the 6 yard box for shots from recycled efforts. It’s also very easy to run through our midfield or lack of one. I feel we’re going to be at the end of a real drubbing very soon when facing a better team.Viveash has been here basically from the start.

Yeah. That's why I said through the game.Only 2 started including the goalkeeper
The regular assistant left before the first season had even started I think.I thought MR started off with his regular assistant who had to retire due to health problems. Can't remember how many games they were together at the City before Adi came in.
Makes no difference at all. You’re obviously as invested as the rest of us.Surely it does make a difference doesn't it? People get ready, set off and head to the game. That takes time and effort. Then repeat everything at the end of the match.
A lot of time and effort involved.
I can just switch the TV off the moment the game has ended.
And it kicked off at 12.30 today and I switched the game on at 12.30.
The regular assistant left before the first season had even started I think.
I feel it does.Makes no difference at all. You’re obviously as invested as the rest of us.
It's puzzling to me as the pre season performances looked fluid, players looked on the same wavelength and generally just miles away from what we've seen this month.Ironical isn’t it?

A right mess if that is true.Right,this is 100 % true, robins and Doug have had words , robins went begging to Doug. We need a midfielder, our players are capped at 20k a year max, all,the players that we wanted in the transfer window. Wanted more than that which. is why we Didn’t sign anyone,lots going on behind the scenes, players not happy that new players that have come in are on more than players that have been here for years, robins isn’t irreplaceable we had nearly 20 million pound on the bench today, pressures on everyone to,turn it around, Doug isn’t happy
But then surely, if they sacked Robins, the new players are still going to be on more than the old players aren't they, so that wouldn't change a thing.Right,this is 100 % true, robins and Doug have had words , robins went begging to Doug.

Apart from two thirds of last season of course you're rightHe’s barely played for 2 seasons so it’s not COH we are missing ….
I have a suspicion “something isn’t right”A right mess if that is true.
Even if it’s legit he’d never tell you puts peoples jobs at risk.Where have you got this info from ?
So what’s the fallout of Doug refusing? Also when you say Doug isn’t happy does he have an itchy trigger finger in this regard. Sounds like a shitshow behind the scenesRight,this is 100 % true, robins and Doug have had words , robins went begging to Doug.
