Really? Can you go through the match threads then and see anybody who critisises Robins tactics or the way he sets us up and see where they are "falling" for this budget stuff? Maybe they are just judging it on what they see at matches week in, week out?
People will just the players on manager on what they see it games, trying to justify the Wycombe game as some sort of tactical masterclass to prove a point is a bit random too.
Under Mowbray last season we drew 6 and lost 4. Not the best form either.
You’re doing it yourself. You talk about tactics as if he has unlimited resources to sign unlimited players to cover an unlimited number of tactics and possibilities. He can only sign a limited number of players based on a limited budget and that only gives you a limited number ways to set a team up utilising their skills.
Again you presume to know better than a manager not only with all the experience both on the field and touch line already mentioned but also a manager who spends all week every week from preseason working and learning systems that work best within the constraints of the group of players he’s been able to assemble within the constraints of the budget. You seem to think we have a budget that’s allowed us put together a squad of Roy of the Rover type players who can do all things in all areas therefore allowing the manager to turn the team on it’s head at a whim.
They’re clearly not seeing it on what they see week in week out because we haven’t won, lost or drawn every week. Sometimes the tactics that the players are capable of playing work, sometimes they’re indifferent and sometimes they fall. That’s football, get over it. Doesn’t mean that the manager gets it wrong week in week out which is what you’re insinuating, sometimes he gets it wrong but it isn’t week in week out. Sometimes he has to persevere with a player knowing that they will get better like McNaulty, is sticking with him one of his mistakes or actually a success?
