In all seriousness some people look to the football for an escape when other things aren't great. When that escape is also complete shit, it's not ideal.

Create a new culture then.I think Doug’s fucked the culture at the club and it doesn’t much matter who is manager we are fucked and on the decline.
Did we watch the same game?Are people still convinced we’re a game or two away from one of robins classic winning runs up the table?
Because I think we just played a genuine relegation candidate and looked 2nd best for most of it.
And even then weren't that greatly threatenedWe looked second best for about half hour after we scored that’s about it

That or do nothing and sulk our way to relegation.
Dunno what people want really? Are you going to sack the owner?
When things are going this badly managers pay the price. Its football, its what happens.
No…Do people still think we are turning it around?
We can do that too.Was just planning on sulking mostly. Just pissed off.
Yes.Do people still think we are turning it around?
Yes.
I think that's it in a nutshell. Absolutely no guarantee at all of any new manager turning it around and lasting any length of time here.I can't see anything other than us burning through manager after manager once Robins goes.
Vik windfall used to pay compo.
A couple of wins to leave us sitting more comfortable in the table.What does "turning it around" mean to you?
Completely agree, it's what we should have been doing for a while.I think it’s time for back to basics. Stop pissing about up front. Front three of Wright, Simms and Saka - our 3 best forwards. Stop pissing about at the back. MVE Thomas Kitching Bidwell/jds. Rotate Torp and Rudoni. Tell Sheaf and Eccles to stay fit for a long season ahead for them.
It’s hard to see but then a bit of confidence would probably completely change performances.Do people still think we are turning it around?
That's exactly how football works.It’s hard to see but then a bit of confidence would probably completely change performances.
At Asda?Robins slaughtered simms and dovin, whilst he was right you can’t do that in the media, I think he knows he’s getting the boot
robins clearly has stuff going on and isn’t committed like he was, he probably fell out with viveash and it’s fallen apart
I think king will give the job to George
I had the same thought regarding the DK silence, is this the longest we have been since he took over the club without hearing from him in some form ? I feel things are happening in the background, even if it’s just contingency plans if we find ourselves in the bottom 3 come the next international breakI'm very critical of MR for a lot of reasons and said that he doesn't come across as knowing what needs fixing to get us out of this.
However - I'm really not convinced that anything changes under a new manager. There is something fundamentally wrong with this group of players that I think the slate needs to be wiped clean with them and rebuild the whole thing. Fully aware that's not realistic though, either MR or a new manager needs to make it work with the bulk of this squad.
There's two circumstances under which I agree MR needs to go:
1. It looks like we are actually at risk of going down and need to roll the dice with a new manager. For me this can be anywhere between the next int break and Christmas.
2. This second one depends on MRs level of involvement with transfer policy, but if it's deemed he is the one responsible for recruitment failures and we need to rebuild from scratch then he should go. If the blame lies with DK (which a lot seems to) then DK needs to back his manager with what he needs.
One thing that is grating with me is DKs silence - he needs to come out and show a bit of support. Even if he is considering a change just a bit of moral support for MR and the team (especially given the circs) is the least he can do.

It might be Robins can’t work in this culture and Doug finds someone who can?

Well yehh but the stuff written on here every day for multiple years is laughableYeah, I know. It is for me too. I've been supporting and going home and away for decades. But, some of the stuff written on here over the last few weeks, from presumably functioning adults, has been laughable.
How long do you give it before a change needs to happenYeah, I know. It is for me too. I've been supporting and going home and away for decades. But, some of the stuff written on here over the last few weeks, from presumably functioning adults, has been laughable.
What a load of drivelRobins slaughtered simms and dovin, whilst he was right you can’t do that in the media, I think he knows he’s getting the boot

As others have said, I don't think sacking MR would actually make much of a difference. Of course he deserves criticism - every year he doesn't seem to be able to find the right formation from the off, he rarely changes it during a game if it isn't going well, he doesn't make proactive subs to change a game and usually look predetermined like-for-like subs without looking at the way the game is going.I appreciate Doug King’s position here, he’s damned if he does pull the trigger as fans may turn against the decision but if he don’t then there is a risk we get remain in a relegation battle and potentially get dragged down to L1.
For me at this point DK has to look at the facts, look at the end of last season and this one, results have been nowhere near good enough. This isn’t on the basis of last night it’s an accumulation of results and performances.
Thanks for everything Mark, but change is required, because currently there doesn’t seem to be any suggestion this changes.
