I don't really know what to think about it all. For me Robins strengths are his man management and player development, culminating in small, successful, over-performing squads. Whereas in game tactics and speed to react to things unfolding on the pitch has always been something of a weakness...

Douglas better get the next decision very very right, or his relationship with the fans will forever be toxic.

I don't know why, at any point in that first 60 minutes when we were struggling to string 2 passes together, we didn't just swap Saka and Rudoni for 10 minutes. Just to see how Derby coped with the change.

Then you move to a house you can’t afford to try and please the missus, she ends up leaving you anyway. Your new partner can’t afford the rent so you get kicked out of home and then end up living in Northampton. When you do eventually move back to your home town, no one is interested and you...

Behind the scenes the game has changed massively since we were anywhere near the Premier League. I think for a lot of people that only really follow us, the differences in the way top level clubs are run these days will have bypassed many while we were languishing down in League 2. We’ve been...

Keep your head down and only say anything when you truly think it’s worth listening to. My view on life that I’ve carried over onto here! (Match day knee jerk reactions aside!!)

My favourite player since relegation from the Prem. Carried Doyle for 18 months while Doyle got all the plaudits. Integral to our promotions from League 2 and 1 as well as our consolidation in League 1 and the first season back in the Championship. His reading of the game is excellent, as is...

Lati going off injured suffering from an under-used left foot.

Thomas reminds me of a Labrador puppy. Sometimes he wants to chase every ball, sometimes he'll break your best vase. Hopefully this time on the pitch leads to a smoothing out of the rough edges and an increased maturity will see him acting as a guide dog for the blind!

He's always been pretty 'safe' but he's not played for months. What you are describing is just a lack of game time for an aging player.

2 league goals all season playing 10 in a team flirting with the playoffs. It's piss poor. He's good at sliding off the pitch after balls that were always going out though.

When was the last time we went away from home and got given 3 goals as absolutely piss poor as the 3 we've given Hull tonight? Can't remember 3 gifts like that.

Kasey Palmer is not a number 10. His head just isn't wired right for it. The clarity of though under pressure just isn't there.

And I would also say I've always found it mystifying. You have 90 minutes to win a game of football, why would you limit your chances of doing that to 45 minutes by being conservative first half. And I get that teams get tired 2nd half and the space opens up but it has always struck me as...

And away against the top half. 8 defeats away against the top 12 by a single goal Always been Robins style though. Get to Half time in touching distance and then let the handbrake off. 64% of our goals this season scored in the 2nd half of games.

Hulls back line are absolutely shitting themselves every time Wright or Simms get the ball. How many clubs has Ryan Giles played for against us now?

This ref needs putting in a headlock and giving scrubs.

His old club Stevenage are 9th in league 1. Wouldn't be surprised to see him back there.

And as for the match thread and criticism, it's natural. We're all still livid about Sunday. Then we're pissed off about the weakened formation tonight and then annoyed about the soft performance. It was probably never gonna happen but a statement performance tonight would have gone a long way...

Lati can't play multiple positions, it's a myth. He can't pass the ball forwards with any pace or accuracy. He's shit in midfield, too ponderous with the ball for a RB and too short for a CB in a back 2. At championship level he's a right sided centre back in a back 3, at best.
