Nope I’ve put several points across about the concerns I have with Robins. You’d have been the same dribbling over Mowbray when he had to get the sack in the January
We both know that to be untrue.
Exactly - it’s the refusal to accept this that frustrates

No one is saying we are the finished article.
Most people can see that the team has a few flaws. And sometimes we need to change tactics in match situations.
Most people can also see the potential this side has and what Robins has accomplished so far.
The only real point of disagreement is your 'warming up the taxi for Robins' conclusion in your first post on this. Nothing else.
And as you know I've debated and made several points from the other side of this debate - beyond calling you a Moron. As for your Mowbray point - WTF. You have finally gone crazy by throwing in that kind of nonsense to distract,
Gordon is a moron.I’m a moron
Well I don’t think he’s capable of getting promotion at this level

The Mowbray reference was why I made the thread and titled it as I did
But you've completely made up how I felt about Mowbray at a particular point in time?
I think your point as suspected is that Mowbray should have been fired in January (obviously anyone can be clever after the event) and given that Robins should also be fired now? That's ok. It's all opinions. I just violently disagree!!
Maybe a better way of phrasing the question is
'Has he taken us as far as he can?'

And The Cracks are Beggining to Show
This was my first post on the Mowbray decline and it got a lot more direct a few weeks later
So you are actually dialling up the mythical taxi Grendel?
Mowbray should have been sacked in January, a fact I stated at the time. No one is calling for Robins to be sacked. Grendel is simply pointing out some faults he has, which we all recognise. Grendel is also right that if these faults aren’t rectified, we will not go up and Robins’ position will become under threat.
He wasn't saying that. He was saying 'let's get the taxi warmed up now.' Admittedly he may have retracted that view over the past few days.

This is spot on along with others similar comments

Answer: I believe he will take us further and given the fact that he has advanced the team every day since his return I am certainly prepared to give him the benefit of the doubt. We've seen the damage caused by changing managers and changing now would simply be madness.
Exactly so he is saying that the next month will be crucial as to whether Robins will learn, or if the wheels will fall off. At this point, the taxi will be outside or it will have remained at the rank
I guess if it's an Uber we could download the app then delete it?
If we finish lower than 8thI agree changing now would make little sense. But let's suppose we have another 20 odd games of the same mistakes being made, the same patterns in games, the same post match comments-at what point do we decide that enough is enough?
Finishing 8th would be a failure as would anywhere below 6thIf we finish lower than 8th
If we finish lower than 8th
It’s progress in very trying circumstances I think that’s harshFinishing 8th would be a failure as would anywhere below 6th
Actually, I said we'd finish 17th at one point but that was prior to a number of signings.
If we finish lower than 8th
Do you agree Harvey and Danny Thomas and below this should mean dismissal?
I’d say below 6th myself
What trying circumstances? Robins has been pretty positive about St Andrews, make no mistake it is nothing like the Sixfields season where at this date we'd have been on 35 points with a GD +6 if not for the deduction, having played the same games but scored 44 goals compared with a paltry 26 this time. We had players like Billy Daniels in the first 16, Andy Webster....It’s progress in very trying circumstances I think that’s harsh

I hear you Brighton Sky Blue. But I think in the bigger picture it's very difficult to argue against Robins' ability to transform and improve the team season after season.
The point is to be careful what you wish for. Anyone coming it may do a lot worse under the same circumstances and might not even have us playing the good football.
Which I agree with you on.Do you agree Harvey and Danny Thomas and below this should mean dismissal?

People used to say Thorne played good football. The only good football is winning football
So you can guarantee any replacement would play winning football? Or at the very least an improvement on where we currently are?
