What players did Robins bring in last time, and were they signed quickly in the summer or during the start of the season?

He never was a manager here when we had a transfer window.

Beavon has played the loan striker most his career at Burton I think.
Kwame Thomas would be wasted as a lone man, you need his pace and ball carrying ability slightly deeper... in this current side anyway.

Yeah he was here till February I think so had the January window and the loan window prior to the loan window too.
He signed Leon Clarke in the January window

He had a winter transfer window I've just seen, but don't matter I've googled it
These were his signings whilst here:

He might not be good enough but then again he might be too good.

Just think L2 players will eat him for breakfast. He's definitely got talent, but as the saying goes can he do it on a wet Wednesday at Grimsby.

I look at that and I wonder where the goals are coming from. First time around he had mcgoldrick who scored 2 in 3, and baker who scored pretty much 1 in 2 for him, and scored a lot through creating their own chances.

That's part of the story of the season, lack of goals and creativity.
Me personally for this week I'd stick with the 4141 as it's a little late in the season with little time between games for training to get to grips with a new system.
Where a world away from the 2012/13 side

And we've been a world away from a League One side this season.

His best game was when he got assaulted in Sheffield to be fair. His other was against Millwall.
Just depends if he shows up.

To use Leicester as a example, Ranieri tried to switch Leicester from 4411/442 system to 4231 and various other systems and the players told him to ditch it as they could not get to grips with it in a few training sessions. Ranieri said it would need to be worked on in the summer to understand each individuals roles off the ball.
I'm sure we will see Saturday and then Tuesday night.

i agree with this. i have said since day 1 that squad isnt so bad it should be rock bottom. this is venus and slades doing imo. we would have been ok had mwobray stayed but he fucked everything up by leaving. hopefully robins will get some joy now.

Still stand by that comment?
Time to face it, this is a very bad side and we fit our position, poor from front to back without desire or ability. A sad night, new lows.
Otis
Well-Known Member
I would say this squad IS so bad we deserve to be rock bottom.
Consistent factor throughout the season. Soft goals let in at the back and not scoring anywhere near enough up front. Been happening all season long.
Recipe for disaster.
Poor keepers, error riddled defence, weak midfield, no goal threat up front.
Just 30 goals scored in 37 games.
You are never going to have any chance whatsoever if you score an average of less than a goal a game.

Yes instill stand by it. Its a bad side. But nit one that shudbbe 17pts from safety
We were better than bradford fot 45mins. That shows team can compete.
Robins to blame yesterday as well as players.
Otis
Well-Known Member
Thing is, though we more than competed against Bradford for 45 mins, that one overhead from Beavon apart we didn't look like scoring.
We simply haven't created anything like near enough chances this season.

it was only robins first game, give him a chance to get things going. the fact a shit squad and a new manager were more than match for bradford for 45mins shows team shouldnt be 17pts away from safety.
i repeat i agree squad isnt good. i just so not agree it is soooooo bad its SEVENTEEN pts from safety.
Otis

Unfortunately I can't tell that to anyone without laughing. Call it gallows humour, call it what you want, but I find the whole thing just laughable.
Looking very likely the gap may well increase too.
Can you imagine ending up say 23 or 24 points adrift?

I think this team is pretty close to what we will see next season in Division 2, give or take a few players who may well be sold!

So many things were wrong about last night for sure, that gap of 17 will only grow. We've no goals in us, zero creativity weak at the back and can barely pass to each other. Only ever gonna get worse. I've seen some shocking performances but that's the worst of the lot.
Zero effort and belief from anyone.
Not a great deal is worth saving for next years 1st team from all this.

it was terrible. even beavon played shite. worst i have ever seen us

Thing with that is Tudgay dropped deeper, so it meant their 2 centre halves just stood by Beavon and took the ball of his head every time. Easy.

oh yeh alot has to be down to tactics. tudgay never won a header,only way he could was to foul opposition,so all beaven could do was run around like a dog in a park,but today he never got close to the ball.

Experienced keeper is the most essential for L2 I think. - these guys love their set peices.
Lameiras hasn't been the same since Maddison left, he needs tricky players to link up with in the middle - useless deployed on the wings most of the time.
I'd keep Reid, he should stay and can do damage in L2, likewise I think it's the right level for Jones, Haynes and G Thomas to make an impact.
