Bollocks, if he tells them to shoot when they are around the box and they dont because they want to walk the ball into the net its not his fault. He cant kick every ball for them, the players are shot shy and risk averse at the minute, they not him are bottling it.

In our first season back in the championship, at the start of the season we got 4 points from 24 available. Did we sack him then?

Togetherness of the squad that was soft as fuck? Kids against menLower half champ/League 1 players?
Yeh it was totally different last year
I'm not really sure togetherness is the same as being soft.

Anyone calling for Robins out now is accepting our return to the depressing directionless Championship years of Adams, Dowie, Coleman, Boothroyd.

Is it just me or has Adi been less visible on the touch line this season?

Massively different expectations.

We may have had more possession but we didn't dominate.
WBA sat back and watched while our midfield and wing backs interchanged passes 25/30 yards out..
Someone on the phone in last night said exactly what I had thought myself. They were afraid to shoot because they were afraid to lose possession.

Sky said there is some stupid new rule that only allows one person in the tech area at once and Robins has been finding it difficult as they normally work as a team

Only one person is allowed to stand in the technical area now at a time

Performances and results have been very poor but I think Robins deserves a while longer.
By no means is he unsackable though. Football is a results business and if he’s not getting results then Doug will step in. Ranieri won the league with Leicester and they still sacked him a few seasons later.
“Credit in the bank” will only take him so far. Some on here are completely delusional thinking he has as long as he wants. Stop fooling yourselves.

I would tell Wright and the back 3 - you have 5 games together, I am not going to change you - Prove me right
I would play a midfield of
Sheaf and Allen as the holders and Tats and COH as the top of the box (Allen is more progressive than Eccles even in the defensive role, and we will create more)
I would drop Jay De silva for Bidwell

What a bollocks rule. As long as they stay within the TA why should it be an issue?

We had two players scoring a lot of goals and creating loads of assists - so who is doing that this year?

I’ll tell you in a year, that’s sort of the point
Bollocks?
Do you actually watch our games?
WBA 15 shots no goals
Rotherham 23 shots no goals
Bristol 12 shots no goals
Norwich 21 shots no goals (it was an oggy not from our shot)
Thats 71 shots with no goals. Hardly not shooting in games are we.
Two more bad defeats and the key for the gun cabinet will be getting a little stare.

Looking at our November fixtures
Preston A - they’re in poor form, although have had a hard run. Objectively we’d want at least a draw but with our record I’m not confident.
Stoke H - mid table but have had an extremely difficult last 5 which they’ve done well to get 2 wins from. Home games need to be wins though.
Millwall A - Poor side, should win
Plymouth H - Poor side, long travel, must win
I’d be really worried if we took less than 6 points from these. Then if you get into December, where we do have some difficult games, I think Robins job could be on the line. If we’re in the relegation zone at Christmas…

With 25 million shags left to find, I can't be picky

It’s actually formatted xG if you’re bothering to capitalise.
Weird obsession with trying to relate football opinions to sex lives on here. The virgins doth protest too much…

xG isn't a football opinion, it's a meaningless stat to make people who can't manage a football opinion themselves think that it gives them some insight.
It doesn't.

Gyokeres had already had a season scoring goals. If you take hamer and Gyokeres goals out from last season there’s a huge void and I personally can’t see where the goals will come
We are also conceding goals far more

Not meaningless at all. Useful in context. But don’t trouble yourself with it.

It’s not meaningless though is it. A team could have 40 shots but all come from 35 yards out.
with xG it assigns the likelyhood of scoring - take Bristol City for example. We had something like 12 shots, we’re said to have dominated. Whilst we dominated possession we had 1 shot on target.
