I can make arguments for either side, and I’m genuinely concerned about the direction of the club in general atm (I’m about 60:40 in favour of him staying atm), but I wondered what the average view of SBT is?

Still too early.
People are right to have real concerns though.
I think if we didn't pick up any wins at all in the next 5 or 6 games, I might start to change my mind, having been an absolute supporter of Robins up until this point.
We were brilliant against Spurs, so to then put in such an abject performance in straight after, is really baffling.

Another 6 games without a win and more droning from MR then it will be difficult to not want some sort of change.

One win in the next 5 would be horrendous form.

It tells you about the psychology of this group of players, able to step it up in a game where nothing's at stake, no pressure riding on it and low expectations about the result.
When it comes to the bread and butter of league games, well, we get the crap that's been served up more often than not.

Yeah, fair point, but if it was 1 win and 3 draws and just one loss, that wouldn't look as bad would it and we would be delighted with a draw at the likes of Leeds wouldn't we.
Depends who we are playing against when we picked up the points.

Looking at the fixtures I can't see more than one win coming from them. I wouldn't be surprised if King sets a points target from them for him to keep his job.

Robins will get some latitude but unless he can get this group of players to work harder and smarter he may be out of a job by Christmas ..

No knee jerk reaction yet as he has been here before, needs to start the turnaround fairly quickly. I just hope we don’t get hammered at Leeds away next Saturday as probably won’t recover from that.

I’d give him until at least Christmas but if we’re still around the relegation zone by then I can’t see him surviving.

Without Viv he’s being found out & Doug has to address this situation , as the reported £45 million over a 3 year period spent , has us now going backwards & playing the most abject football, you could ever imagine .

Keep Robins get rid of all the new coaches.
New assistant manager. Back to basics and if a player isn’t putting the effort in, give him a ferkin bollockin.

That’s all well and good but it would likely mean there would be less to spend in January.

If Doug King does get rid of Robins, would be interesting to see who he brings in.

I can’t get my head around fans accepting the slow starts, we got off to slow starts when we had a team built on a shoe string budget. We’ve pumped 45 million into the squad with the mindset of getting over the slow starts, however they still persist? I’m sorry this can’t happen anymore.

3 years, I think.How long is left on Robins contract ? It would need paying up if drastic action was taken

If anyone is used to dealing with change it's Mark Robins. It's going to take a while for the new players and coaching staff to gel. I dont think these changes were made with an immediate promotion in mind. I dont think long term contracts have helped though. Too many players perhaps content with just picking up a pay packet maybe? I also don't think Viveash was the brains behind our tactics but I do think maybe the players feared him more than they did Robins. Let's hope he gets more ruthless.

Well that's it isn't it, you are ultimately judged on where you finish at the end of the season.
Constant slow starts, are pretty much always going to result in a disappointing season, when your aspirations are for top 6 and promotion

Those voting Robins out need to be careful what they wish for. We’re missing our most influential player. £45m or £0 players are human beings and need time to bed in. The only time I’d even start considering a change would be the end of the season.

I’d like to think he’d do the decent thing and resign.

He'd have been sacked before then in all honesty.

The season we made the play off final you were worried about us getting relegated in january
These threads are massive overreactions after 6 fucking games

We hadn’t spent £45 million then? People are getting tired of it now

well done for missing the point
people were crying about us getting relegated and we ended up in the play offs and that was much later in the season
it's too early for all this performative online bullshit

For me it depends on whether he is having the final say on all recruitment. If he is then I would say he's got a few things wrong in the last 12-18 months and is now rightly or wrongly coming under some pressure. If he isn't well that another story and we may no longer be the right club for MR.

Last season was a slow start and a horrendous finish!
I think he needs an experienced assistant in ASAP, before things get past the point of no return.
