You didn’t but you’d would expect Doug to sack him… after 10 games (of better than average form btw)
Yes, I think it would be naive to think that he wouldn’t have serious concerns. It’s hardly ‘out there’ for a team that’s supposed to be serious promotion contenders.

I think you are very naive to think king has any loyalty to Robins - he trusts him to do a job and has provided him with resources and a squad with depth. I know for a fact after the Rotherham defeat last season there was a heated discussion then and a warning to “sort it”

If we’re 8th after 10 games and Robins got sacked then to me it would be madness. If that makes me naive then I’m cool with that.

If we are 8th clearly not but we have played 3 teams who will not be in the mix - so after 10 - 15 games will be the time when there is an analysis of performance. The point is though king wants success and couldn’t care less what’s gone before.

Ok cool. I was arguing with someone that said if we were still 8th after 10-15 games “he’ll be gone”. I don’t think he will and sounds like you agree with me too

Again, can you point out where I said he’d be sacked if we were 8th? Thanks.

It was muted by the commentators and some fans that Robins looked a bit jaded today, sat down a lot, appeared tired and a bit spent 🤷‍♂️ Might just be that he was not feeling 💯.
Some have suggested there have been a lot of managerial and coaching changes around him that may have been out of his hands 🤷‍♂️
It can’t be an easy job and we have an ambitious chairman now who wants results rather than some disinterested scumbags who just about kept us on life support, whilst they explored their legal options.
Hopefully everything is tickety boo still and a couple of home wins now will settle some of the nerves🙏

I think it was a Robin Hood reference fueled by alcohol.
It was a reference to Robin Hood and it wasn’t fuelled by alcohol.

It was a tongue in cheek play on words offering fuelled by a DISAPPOINTED fan.

Jeez we all support the same team but have differing opinions on how we see a game good bad or indifferent, there’s no need for the abuse just because my opinion isn’t the same as others.

I love Robins to bits and would never want him to be sacked but I do wonder if we have evolved passed his tactical know how.

there are so many young managers coming into the game now and feel like we’re not evolving tactically under him.

it’s the same old

I know some won’t like this and I find it hard to type it but it’s just a gut feeling

I hope I’m wrong and I’m still confident as I’ve backed us to be promoted but why do we start so slow?

Madness to come out with this just 4 games into the season. Our record for this season is 2 wins, a draw and a loss in 4 games.

It’s not even like we’ve got to a stinker like Luton who’ve picked up just 1 point.

Lots mentioning Sheaf and how we’re playing poorly due to him being out injured but ultimately, the team should be more than one man.

We shouldn’t be completely reliant on one player to get results. They all need to be pulling their own weight regardless of who’s out injured.
Precisely. We have no-one else who can play that role.

The expectations have majorly changed since a few years ago though, not just from the fans.
I accept that fully but we haven't morphed into prime Barca or Man City in that time . We should be competing for promotion,whether automatically or playoffs , and I think we will be .
We will still throw in stinkers occasionally and we will recover from them but some of the stuff on here has been nonsensical

He appeared ok in his post match interview and as per usual gave an honest opinion of the game.

We also performed perfectly fine last season when he didn't play.

To me our biggest problem seems to be application at the moment. As other posters have said, we are too passive and soft. The midfield is a problem but for me you've got someone there (Torp) who isn't up to the defensive side of the job and goes missing. We should still be blowing teams away though, but we are stuttering to get going.

It’s not just 2 games though…the back end of last season was shit too and we’ve spent more money and don’t look any more dangerous

the FA cup run just covered the cracks over last season

We were unimpressive from January onwards in truth

I think we faltered when Saka got injured and our right side got messed up. But we collapsed when the Utd game came into view.

It’s a big season no doubt, but four games in having won two drawn one isn’t the time to start putting scare stories about us being terrible for months together. It’s a new coaching staff, we’ve seen the vision is a good one, it’s just a matter of getting the players consistently enacting it.

I just see the manager paying way too much respect to opponents. Hopefully it’s just the players needing to be more confident playing how he wants as opposed to them carrying out his instructions.

I think so, but I also think we’re lacking cock and balls generally, on and off the pitch, compared to last season.
