i expect us to go down, always have done! That's where your delusion kicks in.
not moaning, just being realisticSo then why moan when we are outclassed by a superior team?
Based on the games so far it's definitely not delusional to think we have a damn good chance of staying up this season, cut out the daft mistakes and we are a decent team but unfortunately with a young inexperienced team that will happen
I'd prefer not to write my team off from day one
In fairness, 1 up front doesnt work, it hasn't all season. And in terms of Max v Gyorkeres. Max came closer to scoring with 15mins than Gyorkeres did in 75. I dont think he even touched the ball in the Reading box did he? Either way, both were in a thankless task because if were playing 1 up top, NONE of our squad are suited to it or good enough for it. To play 1 up top like we do, we need a player like Joao.Bloke on radio going mad about 1 up front and “Gurkis” starting over max

Neither can I. It will make a change from listening to your moaning and constant comments about MR and his subsCan’t wait to hear this one
Give it a restPredictable as his subs

One up front is fine for us if we’ve got total control of the game and can play in their half. Yesterday after half an hour we were sat back on the 18 yard line leaving the striker as the only man up.
Either be brave or stick two big men up top so at least the guys on the 18 yard line have two people to aim at.
It’s what we were all saying and most thought it had after the firstGames gone after 2nd goal, can’t believe he said that FFS.
I thought the first half was much better than that. True no clear cut changes but that was mainly through poor choice or poor play in the final third. Heads went down at 2-0 which isn’t like us over the last 18 monthsOne up front is fine for us if we’ve got total control of the game and can play in their half.

That was clear in his changes mate he made no effort to get back into it tactically he’s weak as pissIt’s what we were all saying and most thought it had after the first
He’s the second best manager we’ve had in our history don’t talk wetThat was clear in his changes mate he made no effort to get back into it tactically he’s weak as piss
Love Robins for what he has done for us, but his interview last night was bit of a car crash. Yes the players were shite last night but he needs to accept some responsibility for the tactics and some of the players selected.
Allen played pretty well in his last spell in the team. Now he's been glued to the bench for the last few games while Shipley is starting and Bapaga getting time off the bench in front of him. I find that odd.
We know nothing. Not only do we have very little football knowledge but we also have no idea of what’s happening in training or injuries or funds available or length of injuries or who responds well to public ridicule or praise or who on the bench is fit to play and who is good enough at a young ageI agree.
The biggest downfall for a lot of people and business is their reluctance to change or not. This guy has made some appalling tactical decisions recently and half the forum are screaming for him to make changes or not pick certain players. The old joke about him being arrogant is kind of funny, but there is some truth in it.
Well do you think robins is trying not to win and aiming for relegation or that there’s a bloody good reason?I think it’s odd Allen didn’t play ahead of a clearly out of form and low in confidence Shipley

It’s just weird wtf is going on how can Shipley keep being picked I don’t see how we can’t go back to a flat 4 now with 2 strikersI think it’s odd Allen didn’t play ahead of a clearly out of form and low in confidence Shipley

We are utterly dreaming if we think we have a clue about how to get the best out of the team.
Sure we can have opinions but for me and for most on here he has earned the right to poor runs, poor performances and strange decisions. If you think otherwise you need to give your head a wobble
For me even relegation doesn’t make me question his position

We lose a midfielder playing Shipley mate that lad needs dropping and fast it’s weeks lateHe won’t play 2 strikers as he’s knows they aren’t good enough and we lose a midfielder
He’s cautious by nature which is fine but despite Hyam repeatedly getting good ratings here he’s been vulnerable all season

Shipley shouldn’t be close to that starting 11 for a start if he knew the game was over at 2-0 as he said in his interview why didn’t he just go 2 up top and just have a go at themThe players selected? Who should have played then? Did the tactics make the individual errors?

You're 100% right G. If we go down he should be relieved of his duties. Forget about sentiment, we would probably end up firing him early into the season if we didn't start well and that would be a season down the drain.The only reason I would assume is he wanted to keep a formation which Shipley fitted into on the left sound
He got it wrong. There was never a good reason to offer a contract to Bakayoko a player even he never seemed sure of himself and it’s perfectly reasonable to discuss if this is a task beyond him
If we go down we will I am sure make the mistake of retaining him and then firing him by September
That was clear in his changes mate he made no effort to get back into it tactically he’s weak as piss
At this levelHe's got us promoted twice in 3 seasons. He's obviously not 'tactically, weak as piss'.
And another summer budget wastedYou're 100% right G. If we go down he should be relieved of his duties. Forget about sentiment, we would probably end up firing him early into the season if we didn't start well and that would be a season down the drain.
Baka was affordable and he hoped to use him sparingly can be the only reasonThe only reason I would assume is he wanted to keep a formation which Shipley fitted into on the left sound

Give him time. Far too knee jerkAt this level
He’s been at the level beforeGive him time. Far too knee jerk

Hyam also 4-5 games now being exposed to the level
