Wide players have been arriving at the far post and providing more of a threat. Marginally better at getting the likes of Rudoni in the box also nHaji played wide and scored 16 last season, sakamoto scored several before injury.. EMC had no choice but to come out of his shell as he was only playing because haji was injured
We've literally had 1 purple patch of 4.5 months (mid Nov 2023 to March 2024) since last september and that coincided with O'Hares return. We've been poor either side of it. Sometimes a cup run boosts a team to play above their level, which transposes into their league form. it happens all the time. And people underestimate the impact O'Hare had on the way we play, especially in the final third that goes beyond goals and assists. This is not a top 6 deck, it's totally imbalanced with players bought in for one way of playing being asked to things outside their limitations.We beat Leicester too with nion the same players , what I mean is there aren't enough changes in the squad to go from playoff contenders until April to absolute shit .. the players are letting the club down , the fans and the manager/s down
The team is just underperforming, it’s not a bad team. It should competing for the playoffs, there is a need to freshen things up in defence and midfield and we should be good to go.Team that beat Leeds, not sure if fans think palmer is the greatest player in history but there isn't wholesale changes hereView attachment 40498
Long story short , the players are letting the club down rather than lacking ability ..
Would pull you back to the later bit on your post for that though.
He’s got barely any time on the ground with the lads, first person he’ll rely on is the Caretaker coach. Rightly or wrongly, you’d go his his input. Now he’s had more times he’s taken them both out and not swapped it back.
I don't disagree it needs a couple of additions to add some balance , but they are underperformaing , the stats dont lieWe've literally had 1 purple patch of 4.5 months (mid Nov 2023 to March 2024) since last september and that coincided with O'Hares return.

pretty much spot on, that cup run had the opposite effect for us just don’t get it, same squad only missing o hare but surely that can’t be the only reason for how bad we’ve become ? think even if o hare came back in we’d still struggle, cant believe the drop offWe've literally had 1 purple patch of 4.5 months (mid Nov 2023 to March 2024) since last september and that coincided with O'Hares return.

In the last few weeks EMC has flourished from being a nervous mess to a far more confident dangerous player. Youre not denying that are you?

So what we are saying is the only reason we won games was because of O hare ?
So cal held the entire team together ?
Honestly that's a ridiculous suggestion and I like him
Yeah I don’t doubt he watched the games and got an idea but that’s very different from watching them train everyday and seeing interactions throughout the squad.Whether or not they just chat shit in interviews but Lampard was saying about Ephron ‘I was aware of his talents before joining’ etc.
If you were about to take over a club and he’s going to be under scrutiny like he is because of a jaded past in management… I’d be watching their last 10 games at home.
You could easily watch 4 games in a day and catch up on them as a club.
Surely through the interviews you’d want to have seemed like you have done your research on them and that would be by watching games etc.
For Lampard it’s a bit like Rooney, it’s his last crack at management, all pundits have said that too.

Thing is we watch football every week and I have ideas on what I would play every week but if you dropped me at the training ground on Friday and went go, of course I would need to talk to people at the club to get a basis.
I mean let’s be honest pre season is normally when managers set up tactical ideas, how many full weeks have he had to train the lads.
Benefit of the doubt for Collins as I’d put more blame on Carr
If only we brought in the new manager for the international breakIf only we’d sacked our manager just before an international break
The team you posted above wasn’t capable of putting together consistent form for more than those three months around Christmas. And today’s squad and starting XI is weaker. The predictions for success this season were all based on the idea that all the good performances last year counted for something and all the bad ones didn’t.So what we are saying is the only reason we won games was because of O hare ?

OK, five months then - unfortunately the league campaign lasts quite a bit longer than that.The team lost 5 in 25 between november and April in the league what you on about
Robins’ brief last season was to compete for the playoffs, not to outperform Chris Coleman.Third. Highest. League. Finish. For. 24. Years.

doesn’t make it acceptable though does it, drop off after the wolves game was massive and it’s cost us last season and this season,Third. Highest. League. Finish. For. 24. Years.
Who cares what Micky Adams did? It was almost 20 years ago.And he got closer than any manager bar Mickey Adams (and let’s be honest we were closer last season than that season under Adams).

Robins had a brief, he was given funds to achieve it, and he underperformed.

Very few teams in this division are going to be handed the kinds of transfer money made available to Robins without challenging for the playoffs being a reasonable expectation.Maybe the brief wasn’t reasonable. And technically the brief was to challenge 3/5 years and he did that.
, we had a chance of another crack at the the play offs but for some reason a cup run took priority. Your right semi final was brilliant but look at what it’s done to us, I’d of Gladly given up the semi final for a play off spot,I dunno man. I think doing better than anyone previously is acceptable. Maybe the expectations were reasonable.
I was as emotional as anyone about last year, but in the cold light of day it was a very good season.

Last season a crap start blew a hole in our playoff aspirations and this year it was the same. Sacking the manager was a tough but justifiable outcome.
