Well we've hardly spent well on our new coaching staff ? Probably the cheapest options available

Fair enough mate, not arguing at it is a subjective opinion

We're a lot better prospect then we were, I think plenty would fancy a chance of getting us up.

how do you know? What coaches would you have had lined up?

I personally don’t know any coaches outside the PL/international really so I am genuinely curious why people would think our staff are cheap.

Russell Martin would be the same. Southampton only just scraped promotion with a team that’s worth 5 times what ours is now.

this passive style of play does not work for 95% of teams.

Possibly. Don’t think we’d be in bottom 3 though.

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.

that’s fair, but me personally, I’d move heaven and earth to attempt to keep us in the championship and I’d sack the lot and start again (manager and coaches) no matter where you think the blame lies it’s the only real change that can happen.

We're not the same club as then.

Off the pitch we're doing well.

An owner that has proven he is willing to let the manager spend (even if that hasn't worked out)

Stable finances

One of the best supported clubs in the EFL

The irony is that it's you making things up.

There is no weird exaggeration. We are currently in the relegation zone.

It's time with view for a new manager to have time with the players in the next international window.

I can’t argue with you, I just feel that changing when it’s King making the call could well land us in an even bigger mess than we’re in now.

honestly don’t even know, I just know I have no knowledge on coaching staff at this level so have no idea if they are good, bad, indifferent, expensive, cheap etc etc.

My opinion is you can’t just blame the coaches. Robins is the leader of that team.

A new manager may mean a new backroom staff anyway .. we can surely sack the performance director ontop of that and move on the sleep coach

Also these players were backed all the way today by those of us who went, then some mild booing at the end and they’re bewildered.

This team might well be doomed no matter who’s in charge.

Sleep coach is doing a great job actually. Someone needs to tell him it’s not the fans he’s meant to be working on though.

May well be the case, there’s a few attitudes I’m not a fan of at all.

reports are varying- mild booing or abuse, which actually was it?

Forest looked doomed under Chris Hughton in a similar scenario where big things had been promised and the players didn’t look up for it.

The question is if a change of manager can do for us what it did for them. If the Greek Jabba the Hutt can appoint a decent manager so can Dougie.

Calling for Robin's head is the silliest thing I've heard all day. We lost by the finest of margins today, and even could have won it against a team on an upward trajectory in recent weeks. So in the cold hard daylight it was not so bad but the frustration is coming from the enormous expectation. Confirdent it will come good with some tweaks in the back room staff that now need to happen.

Mild booing at the whistle, then a small group at the front seemed to have a go at Lati when he walked over. We were pretty far back but that’s how it looked

I agree. But what’s the point of saying it because the tidal wave of ‘robins out’ is too much to go up against at the minute.

He stays for me..... the amount of people on here calling for him to go without views of who we could replace him with is unreal.
Be careful what you wish for......

The evidence so far would suggest that's correct.
