A Gentlemans Excuse Me (1 Viewer)

[Sky_Blue_Dreamer]

The robins era has surely come to an end.

Robins as a manager is a curious character. He really has only ever achieved anything with difficult ownership structure.

He excelled at Rotherham under almost impossible circumstances and in his first stint here. He developed an affinity with Sepalla and Fisher. If we are being honest his one major achievement was League one promotion. League two was a poor season ending with a charitable referee and a fortunate outcome.

Yes we achieved the play offs mainly with the goals of Gyokeres, the resilience of Mcfazdean and the second half of the season when Hamer starting playing at a level beyond which he’d achieved at the start of the season.

The cracks were beginning to show last season. We achieved a huge points tally in the middle 23 games - around 45 points. We achieved 19 at the beginning and the end. O hare returned and definitely distorted the whole season. We had -around 19 points in the other 23 games.

The Sisu gang of players Robins was effective with have gone. His sidekick has gone. If the new coaches are poor that needs addressing for sure but it’s a modern day structure. Robins isn’t a modern day manager and he is looking bereft of ideas and motivation.


As the old dance The Gentleman’s Excuse me says - under Mark Robins we are now taking one step forward and then taking two steps back.

The fans are tired of this dancing and we are now finished dancing.

It’s time to exit stage left.

I have only one thing to say to this.

Every year our upturn in form coincides with your thread about Robins having to go and, although there is a noticeable lacking of taxis this year, hopefully this thread will suffice for this years turnaround.

I'm feeling more confident about tomorrow already.

You know I had to check which thread I am in.

If Grendel had to launch this thread then things may not be all that rosey in that Sky Blue garden.

Think we are going to need a few weeks of calm on here, and in the crowd in general.

I would of went a different way in doing all this, I know that Academia has never held the lead in any of this and was very surprised that CCFC never utilized or made public the huge benefit they had with hooking up Warwick University a couple of years back with their attempt to get into e-gaming.

I still think there is huge potential here but worried that no one has a clue on how to utilize the latest ideas.

I think it is time to have a chat with Warwick University and see what they have say and then, maybe just maybe a chat with Warwick University Chess Club, who, I would suspect, have part of the knowledge on where to go from here than even the University itself.

This, in my opinion, would be the way forward..

Apologies for the grammar etc but, well, quite drunk.

Viva la revolution.

Warwick University chess club??

A bunch of unathletic nerds who do their best to avoid any physical acivity

Chess has absolutely nothing in common with football, which is a fluid constanly moving sport with unlimited permutations which far exceeds chess, and you can't reasonably compare the two. If you want to pick a sport to compare you would be better focusing on American Football which like chess is stop start and staccato (and dull).

I can't wait for the retort?
It's more like Dancing for me,🫣, just not choreographed ATM, and TBF I can see some of the similarities re: permutations?

Can just tell you’ve been waiting for this moment ever since the “taxi for Robins” debacle.

This one seems to have fallen flat on its arse. Too contrived & overproduced, no real feeling behind it. The sequel is rarely as good as the original.

I think sequels are often better. It's the ill-fated third that usually spoils things. The only one I think that got better after series 2 was Blackadder.

Lord of the Rings?

Not watched any of them. Wife read the books and watched the films, but not my thing really.

Same as your accounts.

Well this is the original so thank you

This isn't a gloat but a genuine question

Since this thread it's starting to turn around again slowly .

Do you not find it weird that quite literally it happens every time you make the thread

2 wins 1 draw Since thread was made

Could have done us all a favour and made it after the first game

 

[Philosoraptor]

I'll have to do the maths at some point over the weekend to see where we currently are compared to everything else.

Had no desire to do this when things weren't quite as rocking as they once were.

I will say that this type of thread from Grendel is one that no one wants to see, but is now and again, necessary.

If anybody's football judgement is poor and needs sacking off - It's you.

Each season you try and drum up a sack Robins campaign. It is totally tiresome.

Tbh I enjoy seeing his threads and opinions, as well as some of the other more out there characters on here, they are funny and sometimes entertaining!

It is uncanny how like clockwork results improve almost immediately after he posts it.

 

[Perennial Lurker]

At least he didn't nominate his replacement after the last embarrassing choice

That is the most surprising thing in this whole lot.

There has to be a reason to it, it just keeps on happening.

According to Oggie, exactly the same as last season, 15 points after 13 games

I'll post what I've got when I'm less drunk.

Big fan of his commentary by the way. I think him and Eakin are a class act.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Took a fair bit of work to get him to do that last time but it was worth it

 

[rob9872]

Don't give Grenners stick for this thread, if he did his small part in turning things around,fair play

 

[stay_up_skyblues]

Three certainties in life… taxes*, death and……

* to be clear, that’s taxes, not taxis.

He deserves stick for not posting it sooner

I find it quite amusing when they get things wrong, agree, they are a great double act

It does genuinely piss me off (I know it shouldn’t) that Grendal has been silent on here tonight. Hasn’t posted a single thing. Yet if we lost today you could absolutely guarantee he would be all over the forum hijacking posts with pure negativity.

Im glad on a Saturday night I am in your thoughts Perry.

I have been out but now you have my undivided attention.

He’s not the only person who you genuinely feel he’s just waiting for the chance to pounce on robins
So pleased he seems to have found the answers once again
