YES . Without a doubt. But if we are having statue it has to include his back room staff . They’ve all done us proud

Sorry but a club that had been in the top flight for 20 years is established.

We could have been relegated many seasons, how is that established? You didn't experience the 4-1 last day win over Champions Everton (and the two wins before it) in 1985, did you?

Even after 3 promotions ? Name the 3-5 potentially better

It would be 2-4 better, and it's quite easy to work out yourself.

No, I didn’t start going to games until the early 90s

It wasn’t always relegation battles though. I know the early to mid 80s was bad but prior to that we were very good for most of the 70s

If fans are going to talk nonsense then we should bring in the real nonsense .. Gordon Strachan had us 5 points off the uefa Cup in 1997/8 .. one of the all time greats ?

We had last day relegation scrapes in the 70’s - we had to sell players to fund crippling losses

Nothing changed there then - hopefully now for a season or two

Simple question: has Robins done a good job?

And do you think he's a good manager?

He was however responsible for introducing three points for a win (I think!).

That was because we were two points behind Sunderland

If he got us promoted he'd certainly be our best ever. This season in particular I've been impressed how we've always found a way, O'Hare injured, we're fucked, all our AMs injured, we're fucked, now Sheaf injured, again I'm thinking we're fucked, but we always find a way. I'm assuming it's just to do with our identity, how we play, so to an extent it doesn't matter too much who plays, outside of Hamer and Vik who are absolutely vital.

That's exactly the reason I'm not worried about losing Vic if we don't win the play-offs.
