No it won’t lol. No one will care other than “remember that little club that got to the semi?”

We’re five off with a game in hand.

If he had blamed fatigue , injuries, fixture congestion he would've got even more stick .
He called it out for what it was

You are assuming we’ve won that game in hand.
Look at the Wolves match with all the international commentators. This will be global exposure and many will be willing us to win.
I’m not giving up on play offs but we've looked a bit sulky in a couple of recent games.

I have never seen a ref approach a player during the run up to a penalty ever before! That has to disturb his concentration and focus surely.
How can he ignore two handball goals as well, Adams clearly deflected the first with his elbow and even with today’s weird rules, it’s still handball and Collins should have done better with the second, but the ball is in off Adams’s arm/hand.

Robins not holding back. Mentality of team needs to change. Doesn’t matter if you’re tired. If you want to challenge at this end of the season you find a way.
Click to expand...

To be fair to the players Robins has been the one talking about tiredness etc in post game interviews. I thought out of all the games they had an excuse last night after Saturday, second half in particular was mostly just chasing players/the ball

Everyone’s in the same boat though so no issue with him challenging the players to see who wants it and try to drag a reaction out of them. Still surprised he didn’t make a couple more changes last night though

Im not sure ‘provoking a reaction’ by saying on national TV our players are mentally weak is the best approach.
In private yes.
How would you feel if your boss told everyone publicly, including friends and family, you were mentally weak, would it motivate you or just seriously piss you off?

Haha - what a weedy comment - there was absolutely nothing wrong with what he said

On another note, it was great to see that “ Burbage” Sky Blues flag in the away end last night. Does that belong to anyone on SBT per chance?

And you certainly would be. Nobody survives in football without a bollocking on occasions. If anything he over protected them early in the season. This is when it counts and Robins knows his players better than anyone.

Bizarre that. Although suspect with VAR it's ruled out for handball (which I'm sure even we could all agree would be ridiculous).

I agree, it’s what we all want but easier said than done sometimes, as shown by Leeds ‘flat’* performance at home last night. They had the chance to go top and couldn’t muster much. I presume again because they put everything into Saturday

Even one extra day could make all the difference and it’s not just physically, our players looked like it took them ages to switch on properly last night and continued to produce some sloppy passes throughout. We know they’re better than that

*commentators words
