I watched some of the match back since, and the only player I can't be proud of is RCC. Close up of him with his hands down his shorts fondling his "trophy"....should only have been shown after the watershed.. :facepalm:

3 or 4 more wins between now and the end of the season will have championship Vultures overhead,
what would he be on here I would guess 150.000 - 250.000 a Year.
He could probably treble his money at least, in a funny sort of way it would probably work out better
For us if we don't impress to much in the last six games.

I doubt he's on anything like that. I would guess £80k basic

As I said I'm guessing, you may well be right but either way the point I'm making still stands.

Slade was a poor choice for this squad, unless he was going to be allowed to sign 6/7 commanding brutes.
This squad was built by a bloke who only allows the ball to be played on the deck.
Robins had worked that out and has us playing that way. FairPlay.
The only difference with Robins and Mowbray. Robins has worked out how to deal with not having the striker we desperately needed but never got.

I'll give Mark Robins his dues he's managed to galvanise a fragile team and got them playing some reasonable football and looking a lot more resilient. It seems we've had a shift in luck some what.
The big test will be this summer, I've said it before and I'll say it again....recruitment is key. Retaining the "right players" for a league two campaign. We had a great day Sunday on a footballing pitch, league two couldn't be more far away from that. Teams will be more physical, pitches like 25 years ago come November.
It's a different task, but I'm hoping Mark Robins and his team are capable of identifying realistic targets to complement the team.
Let's hope so anyway.

What's the biggest biggest difference this bang average league one manager has achieved that none of his predecessors have?

Mowbray signed more strikers than you could shake a stick at and wasted valuable resources in that area by giving Tudgay a contract.

He can't have been far off that surely? 4 or 5?

I really hope he's here for a good two or more seasons to build a squad and take us forward.

First time around, I thought from his first interview he was the man. I was devastated when he left, but I was happy when he came back.

If yesterday isn't a spring board for the club, then nothing will be.

If nothing else, thank you Mark Robins and the team, for the best day in my life!

We need some stability and continuity if we are going to build a team a squad. We need to cultivate an ethos and club philosophy at the same time. We need some desire and determination burning in the home fires also.
