No he’s not. Second half he made the right decisions. Not his fault we can’t find the net from 3 yards or make a 5 yard pass.

We have no penetration from midfield around the box this year, no smart passes into space or overlaps. Strikers are out of form and we always look like we can concede silly goals. That's down to players not being brave or being stupid on the ball, they look mentally shot when they walk over the white line. Call for MR's head is all well and good but the choices of managers out there aren't good and it would still be the same players. I hope he fixes it but it's a results business but these players look woefully short of confidence.

Not a chance. It'll be one of the backroom staff who are cheap. All the more reason to keep Robins.

Season tickets will drop off a cliff next season if this continues.

Even if they don’t, if we go down Kings asset halves in value

If we can't make a 5 yard pass regularly something is definitely going wrong on the training ground

8 points, 10 games. He looks broken. Time to go. That is reality

Pressing their defenders who didn't like being pressed. What a mental idea.

It's funny really considering that people are defending the bloke who only does like for like changes regardless of what's happening on the pitch.

I think lose on Tuesday and then it's time for a change

There is definitely ability in this group of players and should be pushing the top half of the table, and they should all be looking at themselves in the mirror and doing better than what they are

However it is the manager's/coaching staff to motivate these players and give them sufficient induction to implement tactics correctly and both aspects clearly aren't happening

If we lose Tuesday then Robins needs to go

They’re being told to pack the 6 yard box at corners but still concede there anyway. Time to stop copying Pep and use some common sense.

BTA is perfectly capable of pressing.

If you're bringing Tavares on you're either bringing him on instead of Wright, BTA or Sakamoto or you're playing without a midfield, neither of which make sense.

Gutted to say it but think the end is nigh. Just don’t see things changing and think he’s probably got until the Sunderland game.

The group seem to be sinking without the characters of old to steady the ship.

It’s not a lost cause yet but think Doug is going to make a change sooner or later.

hoping Doug comes out and fully backs robins ( and not in the usual backing way) I’d say majority of fans don’t want robins gone either, pull together, Doug robins and us fans, it’s the first time in a while we’ve had a rough patch let’s not turn on the manager , stick with it,

After they went 1-0 up, we looked like we scored a legit goal which was wrongly ruled out, their keeper pulled off a great save (Thomas) and wright missed from 5 yards. It’s not as if we didn’t create anything

It hasn't been robins fault for the months this poor form has been going on.

It won't be his fault when we are in the relegation zone.

When can things be his fault?

Click to expand...

how many points do we get for creating a chance? and if that’s a measure of whether we deserved anything, Preston had far more chances

we had one shot on target - that’s not enough to win the game when the opposition has already scored

Click to expand...
Yeah, I don't think we were abysmal either.

Very poor in the final third, with that final ball and some poor shooting, but besides that, we weren't that bad

It wasn't a good performance by a long chalk and wasn't good enough, but I think it's wrong to say that it was abysmal

If you read I also said sakamoto could have gone into the front 3 to press.

Robins is just a good steady L1 L2 manager that got lucky with the Hamer and Gyokores. He hasn't got what it takes for modern day championship football. 45m gone down the swanny, a long road back!
