I said his open letter at falkirk impressed me yes. I enjoyed that first game too we won 1 nil with Cody MacDonald scoring lots of passing it around.He thought Presley was a tactical genius and was thrilled when he was offered a 4 year deal
It’s stuff like this that’s hilarious about this forum. Of all of Robins many many strengths, you choose his tactics and call him a “tactical genius”. Then I’m the arsehole for saying I think that’s a bit muchTwo promotions and survival against the odds suggest otherwise. You can argue he’s got it wrong in individual games but over a season he’s been repeatedly bang on.
We just won 6-1 with the box formationI see yes, a chap called fucking clueless for suggesting we play something that actually turned out rather well?
I’m not saying that he’s not a very good tactician. However if Robins is a tactical genius then that makes the Barnsley manager the second coming of ChristHe's clearly a very good tactician, I don’t see how anyone could say otherwise.

Stop acting like 2 upfront drastically changes us. We play a wing back system and that is what's most important. Tweaks upfront can be done game by game basis but we would have stayed up with either as don't forget u were moaning 247 whilst we picking up results and not in relegation zone.

It’s only negative if you have the wrong personnelYes genius may be stretching it. But he's consistently got us performing above expectations in the league and I think a lot of the success of the last two seasons has been as a result of the formation and tactics.
Also as a side note, Tuchel is playing the box formation with Chelsea. I wonder if many Chelsea fans are calling it a negative formation?
You do love to hold previous claims over people. Risky business, when everyone can hold your opinion on Robins over you to dispel any opinion you might have for the next decade or soHe thought Presley was a tactical genius and was thrilled when he was offered a 4 year deal

Also pretty sure he brought this up a year or 2 ago and when he linked to the post it was clearly me being toungue in cheek.You do love to hold previous claims over people.

I've never been wrong but I hope when I am I accept the fact graciously.
Not my fault im right alot?Not a joke when half of your posts are ‘I’m always right’

It’s never been as caveman as ‘just put two up front’
Not my fault im right alot?
True but I am sure we can think of some who are wrong most of the time.....You might be, but nobody is right all the time.
I never said that we didn’t outplay them. All I’m saying is Robins cannot be described a tactical genius, can’t believe I have to justify that statement with an explanation to be honest!The term "genius" I took as clearly hyperbolic, not sure you can refer to many managers as that, especially over a relatively short time or amount of clubs etc. Pep, Bielsa etc. maybe.
Just checking that would be the same Barnsley manager who praised Robins' tactics & admitted we totally outplayed them as we beat his side comfortably?

That's what I don't get.
Why is he bringing up some guy's opinion from 6 or 7 years ago... in a thread where he states a fucking ridiculous opinion just 2 months ago
I see yes, a chap called fucking clueless for suggesting we play something that actually turned out rather well?
You weren't right really You just moaned lot.
True but I am sure we can think of some who are wrong most of the time.....
but enough of the negativity. When do you think the league one champions parade will be held?
A genius to me is a word that gets banded about too frequently. There are no geniuses in the championship lolJust read a couple of your earlier posts & think we're actually broadly in agreement that he is very tactically astute.
I'm guessing it's the term "genius" you take issue with? If so, agreed as stated earlier but it's just the usual hyperbole of the modern world, hell I've seen Biamou described as a "legend" on social media recently!
I was recommending 5-3-2 or variants there of since October
We rarely had our two main stikers fit and were shipping goals, (even after our decent finish only 3 teams conceded less) Robins had to something and when looking at the season in its entirety for the most part he got it spot on, events though it was brutal to watch at times.
To suggest a different formation earlier in the season would have paid the dividends it did in the last couple of months when we've had Walker and( briefly) Godden available, James showing us what he is capable of and Sam, Gyo and Hyam all hitting some form is fantasy.
You were also lionisng Wycombe, and I think maybe Rotherham and how much they werei n form and how they were going to catch us and neither happened.
Robins has done brilliantly the way he's managed the season.
I wasn’t wrong to credit Wycombe and I also never predicted they would finish above us. Rotherham’s awful run of form at the end looked unlikely but fair enough, it happened. And besides all that, I’ve justified formation preferences on more than just ‘stick 2 up’
