Robins arguing with people in the crowd now. It’s getting close.

[procdoc]

This is most likely reactionary but it might be time for a change

 

[Nick]

Robins going at a fan. Not good

He looks rattled.

 

[jto123]

I sort of think he is already gone. Will probably be stretched until the international break, but will sacked then.

 

[Mr Panda]

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

 

[covmark]

Utterly hopeless

 

[Sick Boy]

Robins going at a fan. Not good

What happened??

 

[sixfoursix]

QPR will beat Portsmouth later and send us into the bottom 3

 

[Northants Sky Blue]

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

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

???

 

[MalcSB]

I think the next international break will be the sacking.

Whats the point in waiting until we are deeper in the shit, some of the away support seem quite angry with him - and him back.

 

[Sky Blue Goblin]

Just looked like Robins getting heated with a fan. Wonder what that was about

 

[Paul Anthony]

We are so fucking soft.

Our defence, somehow at the same time, can look like a bunch of statues, whilst looking like a bunch of headless chickens.

Attack is totally toothless. How many shots did we actually get on target today? Just the one he saved? And how many minutes into the game was that? (edit to add: obviously there was the Wright one just before that. Handball my arse!)

We are deeply mired in the shite, and at the minute can't see us doing anything but drowning in it.

 

[Brylowes]

something is broken inside this club

I would say the fan base.

To find a replacement.

 

[SkyBlueAussie]

Doug..If It Ain't Broke Don't Fix It!...F..K Off!

 

[covcity4life]

What happened??

Looked like robins was saying clap and support us. The fans were like fuck off what was that? back etc

 

[duffer]

Not enough fight in the team. No tempo. We have twenty minutes of turning their defence around after half time, get them flapping, and then stop doing it. Immensely frustrating.

 

[It’sabatch87]

I said on Monday/ Tuesday 7/4 Preston was like printing money!!!

 

[TomRad85]

I said after Watford I was done with this season...

 

[Ashdown]

Robins is simply unable to change anything.

Yes he is, he changed it for the worse again like he did against Spurs. Pre planned bullshit unnecessary subs for the sake of it.

 

[Saddlebrains]

Cant be. Weve got the worlds best owner

92nd minute

Just said to my football-ambivalent wife, “That’s 30 games we’ve played at Preston and never won”

Her reply: “Is that normal?”

It isn’t really, is it?

 

[lewys33]

Too many teams know how to play against this type of football now, and if you don’t have a top 2 team to support that type of play this happens.

 

[ccfc922]

Never a handball, but we're heading for relegation unfortunately

I thought the rule now was if it hits a legitimate body part and deflects onto the hand, then it's not handball? Tbf I can't keep up with handball rule, I'd rather they change it back to if it hits then it's handball.

 

[Matt smith]

Just looked like Robins getting heated with a fan. Wonder what that was about

How shit we are probably

 

[procdoc]

I don’t blame the supporters for being pissed off. They’ve got up early to travel to that fucking dump and are served that dogshit performance as a reward

 

[Nick]

I reckon somebody said that subs don't have to be like for like and it kicked off.

 

[Terry_dactyl]

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.

 

[Macca]

Can't keep on living in the past. Dynamics change, players change and MR can't handle this assignment. A legend but one to move on from I feel

 

[SeshMouseSkyBlue]

The longer this shit goes on the quicker our £10-£15 million players won’t have much worth, so Dougs idea of turning a profit on player sales in pretty much fucked!

Robins arguing with people in the crowd now. It’s getting close.

After match interview will be interesting

 

[SkyBlue_Bear83]

Well looks like another season wasted, aim has to be to get to 50 points as soon as possible.

Who comes out with any credit today? Lati and Dasilva were ok, Dovin did ok. Binks and Rudoni not the worst of the bunch.

Thomas, MVE, Sheaf, Eccles and Simms very poor

 

[2024/25 League 1 Champs?]

I’m not bothering with the aftermath on here, I’m going to spend my afternoon doing something fun like fixing the dishwasher or painting the shed…

have to say though, these players aren’t shit, there is something off between them and / or the back room

ultimately Robins needs to sort it, that’s his job, and if it isn’t working he needs to let Doug know…

he’s just had a go at some of the fans behind the goal too, not happy with the criticism I don’t think, but I’m not sure what he can expect when he’s not actually showing he’s able to do anything to change this absolutely atrocious run - I don’t care what anybody tried to argue, this is well and truly relegation form and we are well and truly in a relegation battle at the minute
