What I find odd is that before the season most people seemed to think we'd be doing very well if we avoided relegation. Then after the first couple of games people were talking about us being down by Christmas. Add in that our players are apparently useless, there's been claims several of our squad aren't even good enough to be professional footballers, and wouldn't get near another Championship side and you have to wonder why it seems to have come as a big shock we're in a relegation battle?
If the players are genuinely that bad why is there also a belief that a different manager would have them mid-table?
So 12% of fans .
Not alot really
Moving on
Robins has a rolling year contract. If a new guy comes in and gets relegated then we’ve got a fresh start, fresh ideas.So what if Robins is sacked, someone else comes in and doesn't keep us up.
Then we're much worse off because we're relegated and paying off Robins + the new guy. Plus we've lost the man that got us promoted twice in three years.
12% of fans. Yet somebody keeps on about it on 100% of posts. Irrelevant or not. It’s getting as bad as that weirdo who has a hard on for COH on Twitter.

is it a gamble? Yes - but we’re gambling on new manager bounce. With Robins we’re progressively getting worse.
football managers have shelf lives, at some point it gets stale. That’s what’s happening now.
what if we get relegated and we start of badly next season? Does Robins still get by on his two promotions?
No you can’t but you can coach the mistakes out of them, we’re on course to finish below Rotherham - who themselves are a league one side who finished below us. It’s also good that Sheffield Weds have a 6 point deduction.Progressively getting worse? Over a few weeks of a season when a squad has hit their ceiling by winning League One? I’m not sure. You can’t just say to players ‘be better’.
Utter nonsense to have a thread like this. What are you all going to say after Monday and 3 points with a game in hand on brum and Derby and well clear of Wdnesday and Wycombe?
Robin's has been let down by key injuries, which can't be argued against, and with a squad we knew would be weaker in depth. Around that he has done great. The recent form has been lacking from a number of players who normally would be relied on. Robin's recent tatics and team selections have been on the basis of giving people a chance to stake their claim but they have let him down. he must now accept players like Shipley and Biamou just won't cut it in the championship for us. If there has been a mistake from Robin's it's been his loyalty to a few players. I'm sure now though he and Vivash will not be so accommodating.

we have a supposed chanpionship player in James -we’ve been worse since he’s been here. The manager inexplicably left his best goalkeeper on the bench for weeks.
we signed Gyokeres but persisted playing Biamou.
And Rotherham lost half their team to Covid. Right now I’d say they’re in a better position than us.

No but now they’ve got a hectic schedule, with half the team recovering from Covid. They’re still more likely to stay up than we areThey didn't play with half their team missing?
It’s a sample of 100 - some of our fans think Hamer is worth £15 million

Most of our fan base couldn't spot a player if their life depended on it.
But they weren’t having to play matches, were they?And Rotherham lost half their team to Covid. Right now I’d say they’re in a better position than us.
Many think biamou is a good player
Exactly, many thought Tom Bayliss was the next Steven Gerrard and James Maddison wasn't going to make it in the Championship.
They have 3 games in hand on us. They’re likely to do what we couldn’t and beat Wycombe tomorrow, and be 1 point behind us. We’ve scored 2 goals in our last 5, they’ve scored 5.You keep saying that but based on what?
Missed my first game yesterday as I was stuck at work. Other than that you’re 100% wrong. As usual.Also you get people on here like Tony who could vote but never even sees games
They have 3 games in hand on us. They’re likely to do what we couldn’t and beat Wycombe tomorrow, and be 1 point behind us. We’ve scored 2 goals in our last 5, they’ve scored 5.
we’ve got to go away to them with the 2nd worst away record in the league. If we lose which I think we will, they’ll go 2 points clear with 2 games in hand.
we hardly look like scoring let alone winning
We could do with the league ending on PPGFair enough & some legit concerns for sure.
We average more PPG than them & every bookie currently has us as more likely to stay up though so to say "we're on course to finish below them" is a bit premature.
Ryan LoweOut of interest, the people who have voted for MR to be sacked who would your replacement be? This season was always going to be a relegation battle even before injuries to key players.....Godden, Dabo, Kelly etc etc. Yes the manager has made mistakes, but with 8 games to go our destiny is still in our own hands. PUSB
Is there any point just getting rid of just Robins? If you listen to interviews with players, or even the interviews Boddy has done, its very much a team effort and Viveash holds a lot of responsibility.
Not sure its practical to replace the whole backroom setup with a month of the season left, and if we're not doing that is changing just Robins going to have much impact?
In 3 seasons Ryan Lowe has had 2 promotions, and has safely kept Plymouth up in league one. He probably has one of the 4 lowest wage budgets in league one.Ryan Lowe?! Let’s just get Sam Ricketts in.
I would assume Bowyer has just come alone? Don’t know but I assume so

plays passing football and more importantly adapts to the situation. Plays 3-4-1-2 mostly which suits our players
He’s an up and coming manager, that plays to our philopsophies.Robins won 2 promotions in 3 seasons, we are 22nd in the wage table, £4m behind 21st, £9m behind 20th.
Plymouth are 18th in the market table in L1, a much closer league, and sit 14th.
The comparison is weak. Ryan Lowe, pfft.
How do we attract better players in a stupid money league when others have much better to offer? Coventry, Rotherham, Wycombe all could only afford to bring a butter knife to a gun fight.
