What matters is how this team looks right now. It is getting outplayed by mid table clubs, pissed on by the better ones and getting squeezed out by the stragglers.

I don’t see how it gets to 50 points to be blunt.

We have won 2 games in the last 16. Three like for like nonsense and refusal to change things during the game is clearly working for us isn't it.

Do you really think the changes you’ve suggested today are better?

I’ll repeat, there are issues.. but I don’t see a manager that could’ve changed the outcome today. We’ve been left short of any kind of creativity and drive in midfield. That’s where the biggest issue is. All you’ve offered is he refused to bring on Tavares to run around a bit.

Fuck knows but it would have been trying to get back into the game.

Every week we have to watch his pre planned like for like changes that do absolutely fuck all.

I can't wait for next season's excuse, it will be in league one if nothing starts to change soon.

W2 D2 L6 is undeniably poor from a set of favourable fixtures . How many games do you propose to give it ?

Most of you lot are so fickle its actually sad. MR has shit going on behind the scenes of course he’s not gonna be 100% focussed and in the right mind, if I were him I’d take a break. But it shows his strong will to keep going and trying especially when half the fanbase are on his back

Fuck knows is right, it’s grasping at straws.
It’s not the basis for an argument that MR should go.

It's not fickle? It's not a one off that just happened this week.

8 points from a quite generous opening 10 games, I don’t see another 42 coming.

MR tried something different and changed it up as we’ve all been calling for, he cant win can he? He deserves so much longer to turn it around and he is the man to do so, who the fuck are you taking right now to replace him, there’s no one available from what I can think

That was talking about one game at one nil down on 80 minutes.

We have been dog shit since march or April, robins rarely does anything to change the game during matches.

Its clearly not working, is it?

You're right. He can't win, that's the issue.

There will be hundreds applying for the job.

yep, it’s now a race to the bottom to see who can produce the most reasons why Robins has to go now- with extra points if they make no sense.

Nearly as much as a race to the bottom as ccfc.

It's weirder seeing the excuses for it.

That's alright then. Previous seasons mean nothing either way when the entire structure has changed.

None of them will be any better than MR, and there wont be hundreds of serious candidates applying, probably maximum 5

Can anyone who thinks he should stay have a sensible conversation about what should in fact change to help the situation we are in?

“table doesn’t settle till April” is the most insane thing I’ve ever read.

yes, you’re telling lies, exaggerating again, making out that if we were in the bottom three in March then people would be saying “give him time”.

You don’t need to be coming out with this nonsense, it’s bad enough without the weird exaggerations.

I don’t think King would go for the best option, I think he’d go internally or a bad option. You think otherwise, fair enough.
Click to expand...

to be fair, it’s not lies as lies are based on fact - it’s a subjective opinion that can’t be proved or disproved

…otherwise, ironically, you’ve just done exactly the same in the next paragraph as you can’t prove King would go for a bad and / or internal option, using your analogy that would also be lies

The truth is we wouldn’t go off whoever applies but would or at least should directly approach whoever it is.

There are no other managers in the world so if he went we wouldn't have a manager ever again.

Plenty would want the job, who is the leading candidate. Sensible suggestion obviously
