Nick. You do an excellent job running this show but your talents are obviously wasted. You really should be City's new manager..........

It's all well and good doing prep work in the week, if it works well then it's great. It's when it doesn't work.

He was an idiot. Just trying to show off. Sadly it’s these clowns who get heard.Completely agree that Robins didn’t cover himself in glory. The twat continually shouting about having wasted £50 to be there like he was the angriest man in the world to then turn and giggle to his mates like a school kid despite being 40+ was pathetic and credit to Robins for putting him in his place

The bloke was no politician, believe me.Does that explain Tiny Blair, David Cameron and Theresa May then?
Itsabuzzard alert, itsabuzzard alert!!!!We lost, the team we’re bad back to front, it was just one of them off days that ALL teams have & in reality nothing robins could of done would have really changed that on the day in my opinion ... move on. Get over it. Work on the defence !!
Nick I believe Robins is at the next trust meet the fans night.Amazing how you never, ever make a point or discuss things.
I've pointed out most of the time his issue is when he is unable to change games, if we go a goal down then he has no idea. It's all well and good if we go a goal up but if we concede then most of the time we are stuffed.
He also seems to like singling players out now to take the heat off him after bad performances. It must have been Sterling putting a clearly unfit midfielder in as well.
Yes, I know. It's not just the defence that needs work...Itsabuzzard alert, itsabuzzard alert!!!!
It's common sense
It’s too easy to blame the manager. It’s easy to say ‘why didn’t he tell them not to sit so deep’, he probably did. But when they are in the moment it’s up to the players motmto drop. They have to push up. They have to deal with the mistakes on the pitch
I agree, Otis - but surely MR could have got a message onto the pitch to tell them to stop booting it mindlessly upfield.Yeah, well MR did say we started lumping it forwards yesterday and was puzzled as to why we were doing so, so that's the players in the heat of the moment rather than managerial instruction.
It’s not as easy as common sense Nick. Otherwise you and me would be managing in the lower leagues as well.
I’m not saying that I know what the answer is but I do chuckle (not necessarily at your posts) when people say the manager should do this or the manager should’ve picked so and so.
MR is significantly more qualified that Gary the shop assistant from Lidl or Geoff the greengrocer from Kenilworth, to make the decisions he has to make.
He won’t (and doesn’t) get them right all of the time. But he’s proved his worth since he’s been here both times with the highest win percentages of any manager and two wins at Wembley one of which has given a large percentage of the fan base their first ever CCFC promotion.
The blokes obviously not clueless.
Sadly when we go behind in games we (players and manager) look very clueless.It’s not as easy as common sense Nick. Otherwise you and me would be managing in the lower leagues as well.

Same was said about the last 8 managers we have had.Sadly when we go behind in games we (players and manager) look very clueless.
It isn't just this season, it's been a pattern for months.
It does make you wonder why Mark Robins stands on the touchline, every time we see a performance like today he doesn't do anything to change it, he might as well be sitting in the stands.

It happens too often, hoofing the ball ect, it makes you wonder what they do in training all week.How do you know that? Perhaps it is a failure of the players to carry out the game plan?

But if you are going to play the long ball game then you need a centre forward who can hold the ball up.
The fact we haven't got a centre forward who can hold the ball up is down to Make Robins.
Now that's what I call a plan.It’s amusing that Robins is saying he didn’t know why we kept lumping it forward. The hapless idiot behind me kept moaning when we were knocking it around quite nicely and kept referring it to ‘this tippy tappy nonsense’ and his solution to our problems, ‘just kick it up the pitch so we can score’

So is it a trait in all managers?
I'm sure other supporters say the same about their managers when they are beaten.
Funny thing is it is mostly in the lower leagues where the squads are not very strong, and when you do change players it is usually like for like.
That is really to be expected as you buy players to play a certain formation/way.
Hopefully the board at Burnley will ignore them. Burnley obviously have similar fans to those of ours who write on the match day thread, ones with superior football knowledge.Nothing to do with lower leagues. Dyche is hanging by a thread at Burnley. Fans were saying “he’s taken us as far has he can” before saturday
Our goal came in the last minute of the first half.It was a free kick given when Chaplin was brought down. That was the final act in a move that went on for thirty or forty passes of slick one touch football. No hoof ball there.It happens too often, hoofing the ball ect, it makes you wonder what they do in training all week.

Plenty were moaning about it too during the build up.Our goal came in the last minute of the first half.It was a free kick given when Chaplin was brought down. That was the final act in a move that went on for thirty or forty passes of slick one touch football. No hoof ball there.

Well the obvious answer is Jones, but when will we see him? Still sounds a few weeks off.Surely the real problem is that, while we can create chances, we can't put them away? Therefore when we go a goal down, it's unlikely we'll win because we rarely score more than one goal per match. So when Bristol went 3-0 up, the game effectively was over, because the probability that we'd score 3 goals was very low. The chance of us scoring 4 goals was close to zero. Until we improve our chance to scoring ratio, we'll be vulnerable once we go a goal down. Robins tactics are important, but so long as we can't get our shots on target, we'll struggle. I'm confident that Chaplin will get a few goals, but who else is going to score them? It should be JCH, but frankly he doesn't pose much of a threat at the moment.
then its upo to the Captain else whats the point if your captain only shouts expletives rather than instructions on how we should be playing. Doyle has got to step up to the mark and drive us futher up field if we start to fall back.It’s too easy to blame the manager. It’s easy to say ‘why didn’t he tell them not to sit so deep’, he probably did. But when they are in the moment it’s up to the players motmto drop. They have to push up.
