The structure is there. Certain personalities are targeted as are signings through the recruitment team.

the structure has been in place since Widdrington
Click to expand...

So you think in a year here as head of recruitment he put a system in place and set a direction for the club, that will stand the test of time if Robins gets sacked. We will bring in a manager who will be happy with the backroom staff and won't want his own people in instead. A manager who will look at the current playing staff and will want to keep the majority off them as they will suit his or her playing style and their personalities.
We will seek a replacement manager who embraces the ethos set by widdrington and will play a style off football the similar to Robins' way so we have a steady flow of youngsters and under 23's coming through the ranks.
I wish I had your faith in the running of our club however I actually think there is as much chance that a hockaday, boothroyd or a slade would appearing.

We’ve hovered above the drop zone most of the season. I think we will scrape through but Robins isn’t capable at this level to do any better - he’s an old fashioned type of manager really - a good fit for a club who needs a boost in the lower leagues but basically dim when against superior managers who outthink him every time

Saturday was the first time I thought on balance we won't. Yet curiously you've started 3-4 threads on sacking Robins this season. Don't know what conclusion to draw from that

They’ve literally been talking about the structure in place for 3 years now.

widdrington’s work was replaced by Badlan, the coaching staff has been identified over years.

farndon was the youth coach he’s now in the first team coaching, Luke Tisdale has took over, all the players in each level have a particular skill set. This has all been mentioned by staff throughout the club.

just because your head is in the sand, doesn’t mean that a lot of work has gone on behind the scenes to get the football side on a good level.

vivaesh isn’t even a Robins pick- that was Steve Taylor originally (hope he’s well now)

I believe with a fit squad this season we'd be a good 6 /7 points better off than we currently are.. we've not exactly had it plain sailing

In the strikers department I agree, but we've been our own worst enemy in the bulk of games lost or drawn.

I don’t think he’s ever going to be good at this level as he’s not capable enough. He’s limited and pretty draconian. He’s fine at lower leagues and short term bounce but he’s at his limit so we need to push on

My thoughts are preventative. I’m worried about the direction the team is currently heading. I think Robins is too negative, he’s thinking draw all 9 games and we’ll be safe. I don’t think we’ll get enough points to stay up

I’m calling for the sacking to quickly get a short Term fix who will get us over the line.

of course I’ve said before, if Robins stays and he keeps us up,I’ll write a retraction post with an apology for wavering faith.

I really hope you are right however what we haven't seen since 2017 is the manager getting sacked. My head isnt in the sand we just haven't seen the reality yet, you will only see that when Robins leaves or is sacked. As I say I really hope I am wrong and you are right, but it will be Boddy and unfortunately probably Fisher choosing the new manager.

Based on the managers available right now and given we have less than 2 weeks till the next game, who would you go for?

What you on about we haven’t seen reality? All of these players have been brought in using the methods and workings of Chris Badlan.
They literally have 2 databases of players going into the end of the season depending on league.

also The same fisher who brought Robins?

Limited

He plays a 3-2-2-1 box formation that no one else in the lower leagues plays

You're a fucking football dinosaur

I’ve said this, both Neil Harris and Gary Monk have been successful enough in this league. Both are fighting managers.

Harris took millwall out of league one and into mid table championship.

monk has done well initially at Swansea and Birmingham (although not a great long term manager I admit - and not a great top half manager, but we’re a way off that)

Injuries were expected after the dodgy end and start of last and this season. Everyone has them. We just got a chronic dose of it being our best players.

Gary Monk pulled both Birmingham and Swansea out of the shit when they were relegation candidates.

harris led Cardiff to 5th in his first season.

they might not inspire you but they have evidence of successful fire fighting in this league
