The manager picks the players, and the manager decides who he signs.
Yes, Biamou isn't good enough, but it isn't like he chooses to pick himself and play up front alone. For me the tactics have been way off this season - I actually wasn't surprised when we made no changes at half time against QPR for example - because it has become so obvious what Robins does. He doesn't react either.
We signed Gyokeres in January and after scoring he got dropped. I cannot understand why he was benched for so long because I actually think he is half-decent. Our tool shed might be limited, but you have to use what's in it. I hope we stay up, and I am praying we do, but I am not happy with management this season. We have been ridiculously unprofessional.

We’re in a tricky spot with Robins as he is more effective getting us up from L1 than staying in this league. But if you sacked him after survival it would be a harder sell than keeping him after a needless relegation. I assume the board has discussed both eventualities but I really don’t know the answer.
Robins has said Walker and Györkeres only became match fit a few games back. Both had COVID and we don’t know how it’s affected them. It’s clear he rates Walker more highly at least considering he chased him for two years then made him the marquee signing.
I think the bigger problem has been the insistence on one up front. Once you’ve made that choice and don’t have Godden available sadly Max is probably your best choice.
Still trying to get my head around QPR pick shit team and get beat by Rotherham, SBT goes into meltdown and starts slagging off various City players
Maybe better to do this once the seasons done and we know where we’ve ended up. But if the worst comes to the worst and we go down, it won’t be a single players fault, it will be a majority of the team and manager who haven’t done the business over the season (which still currently has six games to go !) Hopefully it won’t come to that though
I just hope if we stay up, then we can build on it for next season.
I always thought this year would be sticky, but watching it unfold I have been pretty underwhelmed. I'm quite disappointed we are where we are given how the games have gone.
When was Györkeres supposedly unfit though? It doesn't really add up, and sounds like an excuse to be honest. Not having a pop at you of course, but some of the decisions this season have baffled me. Starting with Shipley and Allen recently was mental.
We have approached games with a lot of fear and lack of self belief, which you can probably trace back to the tough start we had. Since then we have actually hit the right formula for a few games then gone back into a shell. Barnsley have shown if you have faith in one way of playing and excel in it, you might occasionally get a beating off a superior side but more often than not you’ll cause problems.
If we stay up I really think we could build a side around the 5-3-2 if we committed to it. If we go down there is little knowing how long it would take to get back.
The Brentford performance should have been the catalyst in my view.
We played so well, without fear, and just had a go at them. The pressing in that game was great, and to be honest, I don't think they were expecting it.
After that (as you say), we went back into our shell. The negativity was really frustrating.

Brentford were happy to try and be Brazil at the back on our then dodgy pitch. Rotherham will just kick it to the other end of the pitch for a big lump to get on the end of it, and play off him. If we send half our team up to try and press them, we'll get caught out at the back. Fine to push up when we've got the ball though. On a side note, Rotherham's pitch looked in decent nick, so should allow for some passing football.

Now O’Hare is the next in the firing line.
I guess you could say (regardless of which QPR turned up), when we played them we were a disgrace. Rotherham play them and at least put up a fight. That's what annoys me the most. I'm not surprised the senior players called a meeting after that.
Pragmatic my arse.It’s called pragmatism. 6 points will have us safe
Getting desperate labelling them as cheats.Does anybody know why those cheating bastards Rotherham are not playing the rearranged fixtures in the same order as they were originally cancelled?

this made me laugh
We are humanWe aren’t a charity
We are human
this made me laugh
Cant argue with that.this made me laugh
This is SBT - Of course you can!Cant argue with that.
We'll be doing that also. Are you seriously suggesting we shouldn't be expressing our views after each game?The one thing I don't get here is the way players are constantly destroyed continually on different threads I cant see why we all couldn't pick the bones out of the season when it ends and give our views then on all things the club.
So that's 62 mins of the games he has been involved in. That would be a lot lower average for all of our games this season.Didn't want to get involved , he's played 29 league games and played 62 minutes per game on average
Can't wait to see the success we will have with Harris or Lowe.Is there genuinely a post on here that says he’s the sole reason we’ll be relegated? I’ve not seen it.
He’s played a big part though but less of a part then the muppet who kept picking him
If Robins is a muppet I wonder what that makes the other ten of eleven managers we have had since PL relegation.Is there genuinely a post on here that says he’s the sole reason we’ll be relegated? I’ve not seen it.

I’m sure as Mark Robins is a manager whose capable of performing in pressure situations he will see us through
