Id blame him when we aren't creating chances and getting hammered every week. Bar Leeds we could well have won every game this season

I hate to tell you this but have a look at the form since we played Leeds last season.

You spent half this season moaning about our signings and you’d trust our management team to appoint an unknown manager from overseas rather than stick with Robins

That’s a fair point and one I agree with you with.

But yeah I think it’s worth the gamble

Preston are a poor side and they cut through us very easily. They had a lot of chances.

We are just so disjointed and the players seem lack lustre.

We were slightly better second half but we don’t control games at all

Preston are definitely not a poor side

they've beaten Luton Watford drew with Burnley and Middlesborough

A very tough side to play against

Honestly the clamour for him to go is fucking embarrassing. What he’s done for our club is nothing short of a miracle.

The environment he’s had to operate in and what he’s delivered is consistent huge overachievement. The disrespect of people calling for his head 10 games into a season is pathetic

New manager will do fuck all. Half the team are bottle Jobs. Also we're you under the illusion we would get promoted this season?

Ten games in and this was very much like the opening game away at Stoke. Poor first half, improved second but just not good enough overall.

We have several areas of concern but the biggest one for me is; We’re severely lacking any kind of creativity. Which makes the call for a new manager a bit redundant, as someone new giving the players a bollocking isn’t going to fix the gap in the squad.

Absolutely. COH and Palmer out and we have nothing to create in midfield. The latter looks a shocking decision now, despite the bloke being pelted by some most weeks.

Disrespect? We have been awful for months.

What's pathetic is the half arsed performances we are paying to watch every week.

Let's face it, he was a goodie in the sisu era. He had no issue jumping ship to Huddersfield though.

Environment he's operating in? We had over £10m of players on the bench today.

What he’s done, he’s had, he’s delivered. All past tense, correct?

it’s fine to think he’s done a brilliant job, but he’s taken us as far as he can.

I get people are angry but the answer isn’t as simple as replacing Robins and having a new manager giving the players a rocket.

We’ve had, and still have, a glaring hole in the squad. No new manager is going to conjure enough creativity out of our available midfielders.

We’re in the position of having 10 mill worth of players on the bench today because he took unknown players in hamer and gyokeres and made them absolute beasts, he didn’t just inherit this money, he created it

If we were 30 games into the season this might be fair and even then my personal opinion is that he’s earned a shit season.

The prematurity of it is the problem

30 games into a season

It's being tactically aware as much as anything. Anybody who will actually look at what's happening in the game and try to change it tactically would be an improvement.

It's not just about giving them a rocket.

you’d give someone 16 games? I’m not saying it’s not achievable to survive with 16 games left but I think that’s where management changes become far too reactionary and the pool would be a lot smaller then.
