Agree with all that
changes are needed either way. We need a new GK, left back and right winger as a minimum.
That said, its considerably less than years gone by when a whole new team is needed !
Mmmmmmm Cos they’ve destroyed my club
Middle of the road really-not great but not disastrous. I seen you on about the Bayliss one earlier. Definitely a mandatory caution in that scenario as Bayliss denied what was going to be a promising attack.
InsaneThe club was on the way down before they arrived.
If we lost in the play offs it would be much better than anything we've had for years and actual progress. You and others are judging Robins on the basis that we have historically been in a higher division as if that somehow means we should be promoted from this one by default. It doesn't.Constructive.
I'm sorry, but if I failed my objectives at work there would be consequences. If Robins does it should be the same.
I just don't think he's the right man long term. I know everyone loves him and you can't criticise him without people making dickish comments like yours. I like him as a person, and I want him to do well but, after turning things around, he's gone back to making the same mistakes again and its cost us today.
We all know the budget will be reduced next year so we should get used to this division if we don't go up. I suspect we'll lose many of our better players such as Willis, Jones & Bayliss (granted we've been without Jones for some time). Replacements will be on a budget, hopefully the scouting is now in place but based on January I'm not convinced.
He still has time to turn us around and get us up through the playoffs. I suspect he will be better in league one than he has this year. He seems to be under the impression we should match the long ball tactics of other teams in this league despite not having the players.
If we make the playoffs maybe we should give him the benefit of the doubt and let him have the summer but would need to make a good start.
Appreciate I overreact but I don't think anyone can argue we haven't underachieved up until this point.
Which of the team's above have a better squad of players? Luton probably have, but that's it. They have been better managed and played to their teams strengths. We haven't played to our own strengths.
Insane
Tis true. We were in a mess before Sisu unfortunately.It's not insane at all, we were flirting with relegation to league 1 way before SISU arrived and were hardly in a healthy position financially. Even Gary Mac commented the club was rotten to its core and the downward spiral would continue until it was addressed.

We are a league 2 club with a league 2 squad. If we get to the play offs and lose we keep the manager and try to improve by another increment next year. Sacking him and starting again would be repeating the same idiotic short term decision making that sees us in league 2.

Why the fuck does the shit about SISU come up every time we lose a game.
Ffs enjoy the game enjoy the rest of the season. We are still in play offs.
As I seen it there was no foul-just a player standing his ground. Was the keeper impeded by this? Not for me and that's most likely the view off the official too.What’s the law on that? It looks like obstruction but with how crowded the box is and how much players have hold of eachother at set pieces you can kind of understand why the referee didn’t give it
I agree ref was below standard. Not impressed also by antics of NC short haired central midfielder and tall defender with beard. Ref did nothing to stop theirBut let their player off with a warning for doing the same having been booked 2 minutes before. Ref was appalling today as we’re the linesmen. So many bad fouls pulls and pushes ignored by them. Their first was a definite foul on Burge. The defenders diving in their own half to get free kicks. Just shocking from the officials.

If We get into play offs will be likely to 6th or 7th. Rather than 4th or 5th.
I think players will be confident knowing that they been given a last chance saloon saving grace to salvage the season.
There's no doubt in my mind this group play better in the BIG games. Been evident most of season.
Do they? What happened against Accrington and today?If We get into play offs will be likely to 6th or 7th. Rather than 4th or 5th.

Yes he did, when it really matters (as today) it seems we can't go the extra mile and produce. Just hope we can produce in the next 5.

Hopefully!
Just what i thought after watching the highlights. Going by comments on here and in this thread during the game I thought he was at fault both goals. Don't see it!How do you blame Burge for either of those
Won the pen at Wycombe. More a moment than a game though.
for 32 of those we were in the top flight but I suppose being in the top 6 of 2nd 3rd or 4th divisions is infinitely better.Just think. If we finish in 7th, then we'll be in the play-offs. Even if we go up, we can still hang on to that glorious record of not finishing in the top six in any league since 19 bleedin' 70! Who else can take that nearly 50 year old record from us? :emoji_smile:
I won’t disagree about the frailties of Burge but the manager brought in a much needed new keeper pre-season but he isn’t good enough is he, played a few games at the start made a couple of costly errors, dropped for Burge never or hardly ever to return. A poor and costly signing to go with the two inept signings he made in JanuaryHe makes mistakes he doesn't inspire confidence certainly among many of the fans. However the league 2 managers seem to rate him. As they have all seen him that isn't based solely on the back four in front of him
Personally I would have favoured an older more experienced keeper especially with a brand new team and the number of young players but I suspect the budget for what we really need just wasn't there.
But it hasn't been the only problem. Generally the full backs have been hit and miss, we need more than one creative option wide and centrally. We needed a leader for seasons we found one but now now need to plan a replacement.
If we miss promotion it will not be because of one player , burge or otherwise. They have all had good moments but they have all been crap at other times and cost us . Our biggest problem this season has been consistency be it in individuals, matches or for the season itself
We are an upper half league 2 team in a division that is dire most of the time. I think the level of being decent isn't actually that high.
Sooner we get out of this division the better and we can still do that
Was going to post similar. Post after post about how terrible our players our yet Robins should have them walking to the title as its the best squad in the division!One thing puzzles me. Posters keep saying we should be top three with the squad we have. Then next breath that the recruitment has been poor. As we had to pretty much recruit a new team which is it?

If he's the best goalkeeper in the division, how come other clubs aren't clamouring to sign him?<snip>Burge is a prime example, voted the best keeper in the division yet most of our supporters don't want him in the side.
Grimmer’s man with the free header for first goal. He’s the best we have in that position but I haven’t been convinced all season and as others have said if he was here last season he’d be getting far more criticism. I’d be looking for new right back, goalkeeper and left back in the summer
