They've fallen for the cunning plan.

Absolutely. My point was of course players hear and take note about what's said about them. Next we'll be hearing from FP that players take no notice of social media.... They just focus on what the manager says...

Well, when you are playing shit and approaching drop zone territory 'managing expectations' tends to turn up front and centre. It's not really a badge of honour for a manager.

I'm sure you're right when he tells the press the players are weak and cowardly they don't care at all. This forum when people don't understand basic human behaviour. Duh.

Obviously. Although it's not like they don't see the press statement is it?

Absolute nonsense.

Wait until you find out he played his first 4 games in the first team. Mind blown.

Hopefully yes. But it would have been better if he had 20 mins as a sub in the Championship. That's where he has to learn to do the business.

U21 won't do him any favours unless of course he gets some Championship games off the back of it and starts building.

Apparently you don't think Robins should have played him in the first team. As stated above I think Robins has been quite odd on this. Although it fits with his chopping and changing, not knowing his best 11 and general poor use of subs who never seem to impact a game positively.

I'm not sure many pros would see being picked for a club's junior team as anything but a bit of a snub by the manager. It's hardly great on the CV is it? But let's hope he gets some game time against Preston and scores.

I suspect players going somewhere in their career are different. We need different and this team needs shaking up. Robins seems to want compliant players who narrowly do what they are told. It isn't working.

If 'grounding" is being turned into a passionless, predictable player, who doesn't raise their voice or opinions, then no thanks. We seem to have plenty of those already.

Quite a strange take. He didn't just 'walk into the side'. He was chosen by Robins as a first team striker for a few games, got some plaudits, now isn't getting any minutes even as a sub and is now put in the U21's. Just all looks a bit odd by Robins.

Think you missed the point That's what I'm saying. Wingers aren't big 6fters. Which is partly why he can't run up and down the wing for a whole game.

At the moment Haji isn't being played as an out and out forward. He's being played as a winger who largely doesn't support his fullback, In fact I don't think he has the engine or physique to do that. So at the moment he's pretty much a luxury player. If he's played it should be upfront as a two.

Collins, Kitching and Rudoni were all in teams that got relegated from the Championship as well...

Tbh I not sure the 'Gotcha' people use on here about people writing off Wright and Simms is quite as powerful as they think it is...

You repeatedly argued they were all 'excellent' about a week ago. Now they're 'generally good'. What will they be like next week?

FA cup games though.
