My apology.
I
It wasn't aimed at you. It was the OP - the only point of this absurd thread is for him to vent his spleen. He can't stand robins as he exposed how shockingly bad his hero thorn was. This whole thread is geared to chuck in as many negative robins comments as he can.
He failed to gain any support for his laughable view on robins and the players he inherited.
I agree.Exactly what I have been trying to say but worded far better.
I am just concerned that due to Robins' previous spell people have these false expectations of what he can actually do. He had a very good 7-8 players and added the missing ingredients with 3 good signings.
He didn't do any good at Scunthorpe or Huddersfield and this has been highlighted by the performances of the managers who followed him.
When as I expect we are not steam rolling division 4 next season. I don't want to hear people demanding he is sacked and we start from scratch again.
The problem lies with how the club is run and we need a manager, who can work round that over a prolonged period of time.
We can't expect some crazy miracle from Robins. He is a bang average manager.
First time round he was very lucky that DMC was on fire and then he was intelligent enough to get the hell out of here once it was about to go to rat shit. (fair play to him).
Huddersfield were not overly impressed. Scunthorpe fans were pleased when he was sacked.
Even Grimsby fans didn't want him when he was linked with them before we got him!!!
There is a myth that he did some minor miracle with us. That really wasn't the case.
Let's just hope he can bring some organisation to this farce in time to get us a great day out at Wembley.
If he does that then he will have achieved big time.
I think the point don is trying to make, is not to run down anything that Robins did here before, but that to a certain extent that was he blip in a sea of CCFC shite over the past decade plus... and to expect him to overturn the inherant shiteness of our club singlehanded is a harsh expectation.You're talking nonsense as usual, our form under Robins was superb. So what, he had a good striker? All good teams have a goalscorer, it doesn't invalidate the job the manager does.
I can't subscribe to the theory of him being lucky last time. Having good players is one thing. The manager still has to set up the game plan to get the most out of them. That's a managers job isn't it?
You can have a team of good players but if a manager is not any good at setting the team up to get the best out of them, then those good players are less effective.
Look at what McGokdrick had as a record before he arrived. Would hardly say his form was anything special. But here, under Robins he was in fine form. Because Robins set up the team to get the best out of him.

A bit like we've expected it of Pressley, Mowbray, Venus, Slade...
That isn't my expectation, don over-egged the pudding with silly terms like 'bang average' manager. Maybe he is, but he got a lot more out of practically the same squad of players as those before and after him.
But... you're half-saneThat isn't my expectation

Revenues will drop dramatically. Fisher has said the number one priority is break even. And our current squad is not good enough for L2. Yet some posters on here are predicting a promotion challenge. Some people never learn. Assuming no change in ownership, next year will see us near the bottom. Our main hope rests on the fact that only two teams get relegated from L2.
He had a championship GK, CB, CM and Striker.
I don't want us 'banging on the door of the playoff spots", I want us leading the automatic promotion candidates.<snip> If Robins and "his" team are not banging on the door of the playoffs around Christmas time ...<snip>.
Who? Only McGoldrick was a Championship level player. Murphy signed for a Championship club but didn't play. Richard Wood the CB? Midfielder - not Moussa or Baker?
He did have Christie tbf, you've not even remembered him though.
I don't know.Cody McDonald was SHIT for us, all the revisionist nonsense in the world will never change that.
Living in a town in Suffolk ITFC are the biggest supported team, most of my mates are IpswichMcgoldrick was a laughing stock before he arrived here. Mcgoldrought as fans derided him.
His career after departing has been pretty mediocre as well.
So it's clear having robins as manager and the style of play worked for him so to dismiss that as lucky is nonsense.
He inherited a basket case of a club where players training regimes and plans were non existent. He was hugely influential in turning a dire situation round into a successful season prior to his departure.
Cody McDonald was SHIT for us, all the revisionist nonsense in the world will never change that.
Trouble is we replaced Murphy with a "run of the mill" non league goalkeeper and ermAs was wood and Murphy is just a run of the mill league one keeper.

Fans with a large proportion of those ST holders. To a man they rate McGoldrick as their best
Player, they also insist if it hadn't been for his unfortunate nack for picking up injuries he would
Have probably spearheaded a promotion season by now.
