Ticketmaster best get themselves in order for all the league one package cards they’re going to have to distribute.

I think his time is up and I’m not putting it all
On him but this isn’t sustainable

 

[usskyblue]

Did we deserve a point? On the balance of play you’ve got to say yes.. but the issue is; we deserved a point against a really poor Preston team, and more worryingly, we have real issues all over the pitch.

 

[Essexrobbie]

Latibeaudiare for all his critics on here has been steady today

I agree, my man of the match for us...where as Shef..... bloody hell the sooner he goes the better.

After match interview will be interesting

Probably be a copy and paste of every other delusional interview.

Not sure, dovin kept us in it.

 

[MalcSB]

I would say the fan base.

The fan base don’t pick the team, the tactics or play on the day.

 

[robbiethemole]

Robins having a go at some people in the crowd, never a good sign

If only the players showed that much fight

 

[mark82]

1st effort on target in the 92nd minute. Just not good enough.

Too many had off games today. Sheaf, especially.

Wright scored a perfectly good goal, but point still stands.

 

[marrrkjay_ccfc]

For me, Robins has got until the November international break to turn both results and performances around. This squad should be challenging the playoffs minimum not battling to survive relegation.

 

[Great_Expectations]

Was he having a go or just telling them to stop having a go at the players?

Forget how shit we are and whether he should go or not. Sad times when fans with nothing about them have a go at our most successful manager of recent times.

 

[Pezza]

Robins wanted the PL return to complete the dynasty but it’s a level above him, sadly. I said it a while ago, he won’t see November.

 

[Bugsy]

Some of our fans are fucking pricks anyway so I give robins the benefit of the doubt there.

I don’t know. One shot on target. I’d struggle to justify it considering Dovin kept us in it

 

[Earlsdon_Skyblue1]

It's the same script.

The subs were wrong. We go behind. We don't react and really change anything after that. It's a massive weakness for Robins.

We are too poor at the moment and lack any cohesion and fight. Players go missing, drop clangers and the leadership on the pitch again just isn't there. We need to get some mature heads in during January and give the armband to someone who is actually up to it.

It is really frustrating at the moment.

 

[Saddlebrains]

His press conference yesterday was bizarre with his revisionism of expectations.

Now he's having full on arguments with Supporters after we've won 2 of the last 18 games

I think hes gone

Looked like they were given him quite a bit of abuse

 

[hinckley cov]

Sheaf was awful today and he couldn’t hit a barn door from 2 foot.

 

[Saddlebrains]

I agree, they are.

But i think any of us are entitled to have a pop at them or Robins with how shit we are after the support we give them

Most likely off their heads tho

 

[im-confused]

The amount of hype put into buying season tickets and getting on board the journey etc. is it really a surprise that fans are getting frustrated with the displays they've been given?
Robins can talk about managing expectations all he likes but the club have put such expectations on themselves.

 

[pusbccfc]

He won't mention the referee though. As always. It will be the same old.

It is really frustrating at the moment.

I think he struggles with more resources. He doesn’t know how to keep fluidity with team selection/subs. This is why I think, sadly, if we want to push on it might have to be without him.

 

[Ashdown]

Watched the replays on TV, can’t see any handball in that goal. Just for once Robins should be losing his shit with these piss poor officials!

 

[chiefdave]

I think he's done but who do we get?

Does Swiss Tony have the football nous to make the right appointment?

A lot of people seem very confident that the person who appointed the performance director and has overseen a complete overhaul of the coaching setup is going to make the right appointment should it come to that point.

 

[SBTasha]

I fear for Robins for the first time ever. They weren’t great we weren’t great and could’ve gone either way. We move on and hopefully QPR game saves Robins, our season and his job. WLADITT 🩵

One game isn’t going to do it. Need to see a run of three or four performances. Something that shows we’ve got a plan we’re working towards and the players have half a clue how to operate it.

 

[Sky Blue Wozza]

If we’re going to get rid of him, can we please appoint a replacement before Wolves sack their manager - I keep having a horrible thought that Gary O’Neil is going to end up here.

 

[mark82]

Fuck me. This is painful.

When thinking about the cause and what’s changed from last year…
We’ve had 2 first team players leave is it? O’hare and Palmer?
Or
Our entire backroom staff.

Both. O'Hare and Palmer haven't been replaced, and I think we're seeing what Robins is like without Viveash.

Robins out, bring Viveash in to manage us.

I just can't believe he's defending the players..

They are completely throwing him under the bus and fans are making that clear. He should have stood back.

 

[napolimp]

I know a lot has been said about AV and Lawrence, and no one really knows what went on behind the scenes especially with AV, but it really feels like Robins is cutting a lone figure at the moment. At least before it felt like AV and Lawrence were at his side.

Deluded

 

[MalcSB]

Added to which the handball awarded just outside their area was in it and should have been a penalty. Would have been papering over the paper that’s already over the cracks though.

Based on absolutely nothing

It’s still wild to me that people blame Doug for the coaching setup and think Robins had nothing to do with it.

How often do managers get sacked and the coaching team remain the same?
