It would be a right shame but yep January if we are where you say and a lined up manager is there that wouldn’t be over bad

I think 5 more performances like that and King will lose patience. Possibly fewer.

Results are one thing but the displays have been alarmingly bad.

[shmmeee]

That was dreadful.
We've got a squad full of players with no winning mentality.
People laughed at those who wanted to bring Matty James in but we know he can change the mentality of a dressing room.

Needs to come from the manager and coaches if not on the pitch, I don’t see it in any of the backroom staff like we had with Viveash.

 

[Grendel]

M

Robins will be given time and quite rightly in my opinion
He is mr coventry

Is he a manager who looks lost not “mr Coventry”

 

[Evo1883]

Not sure he has?

How long does he get a free pass without anybody being able to say he had a shocker or looks lost?

He definitely has , you're the same age as me , unless you enjoyed perennial struggle in the Premier league

 

[Evo1883]

Would you keep him if we went down?

We won't go down ffs

 

[Nick]

That’s fair but give him time

For what? How long?

 

[shmmeee]

I respect your opinion, you're not an overreactive idiot .

I think should he leave , we will end up back in a circle of bad appointments and change for a few years .
It's so hard to get it right , with so many changes throughout the club it's strange the blame is lay at the bloke who has not had a bad season with us yet

Will we though? We’ve got the resources to hand to a normal manager and probably do OK these days.

I enjoyed watching Dublin and huckerby much more than that heartless shit today.

We haven't had a bad season under Robins and fans are after throwing him under the bus .. the only way it gets bettwr with anybody else is top 6 consistently and a promotion .

It's mental

 

[shmmeee]

We won't go down ffs

My point is how much leeway does the rise from L2 give him? A season? Two? A relegation? Because you seem to be saying there’s no limit because of the first six years of his tenure.

January

 

[SeaSeeEffCee]

I’m not Robins out but you simply cannot defend this start to the season. We’ve been completely out-thought tactically in the 4/6 of the league games so far and the management team have done very little to respond to it in game.

Nottingham Forest got promoted by binning off Hughton relatively early on and when they were putting in similar crap to what we’re serving up.

Get the appointment right and who knows.

We’re in our second bad season under Robins.

How long is he blameless for?

Must be amazing to be in a job like that.

 

[Evo1883]

I enjoyed watching Dublin and huckerby much more than that heartless shit today.

But over the last 7 years it's been so much better as a supporter , loved almost all of it .

Dublin and whelan gave us 97/98 , the rest was shite

 

[Osullivan18]

For anyone mentioning AV, he was also here for last seasons poor start as well as the end of the season performances.

 

[Sick Boy]

This isn’t how anyone wanted or imagine it would end if he is sacked before January. But if these displays carry on for a few months more and we’re hovering above the drop zone, King has no choice.

Not sure I’d trust King to find a replacement.

 

[Evo1883]

We’re in our second bad season under Robins.

We finished 9th and reached the fa cup semi final .. that's not a bad season at all

 

[Matt smith]

Evo he’s been great

this is alarmingly bad, 2 wins in 16

How much more of today is he allowed?

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Share that concern myself.

 

[Ashdown]

This fucking useless obsession with trying to only score from a cross is pathetic and producing fuck all

 

[Matt smith]

Not sure I’d trust King to find a replacement.

I’d go all out for Rosenior if it came to that

 

[Macca]

How long is he blameless for?

Must be amazing to be in a job like that.

He will be here forever

 

[oscillatewildly]

Well he had Torp who we paid £2m for today, not sure the argument exists. We are being tactically outmanoeuvred most weeks.

And it is so plainly evident.
I mean, you could even see it if you were sat dead centre during the team photo shoot.
Just saying

 

[Evo1883]

He gets the time to get it right , and I hope the owner isn't like the fans on here

Not for me, I see being in and around the play offs at the start of April as a good season.

At the moment I think we'll struggle with that.

 

[Evo1883]

He will get it right

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

He’s probably not far off

 

[covcity4life]

Fucking terrible. Second half worse than first

Simms is annoying and doesn't seem to try impact the game

Our subs r not making impact at all

We don't have a brand of football. Just pass at back alot. No one is brave. Yeah good riddance Kasey we so much better off now.

Rudoni and Eccles only good players today really.

Worrying. Robins needs to get us attacking or I fear king may decide he wants his own appointed manager in place at some point

 

[shmmeee]

We finished 9th and reached the fa cup semi final .. that's not a bad season at all

£30m for 9th in the Championship isn’t good.

 

[clint van damme]

He gets the time to get it right , and I hope the owner isn't like the fans on here

I agree with that. He's still got a lot of goodwill in the bank for me

 

[Nick]

It's mental

We went backwards.

Its hardly throwing him under the bus to point things out today.

 

[Evo1883]

Not for me, I see being in and around the play offs at the start of April as a good season.

At the moment I think we'll struggle with that.

But we've not had a bad season yet in 7 .. expectations have been met and now fans want him gone again because of a few bad games without our captain etc ? Crazy mindset
