Robins has to go… (3 Viewers)

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Edwards was manager for mere months before they went up

I wouldn’t bet against the loser of the match at the CBS losing his job.

With respect to a few posters on here, there’s just too much emotional knee jerking here. You seen after the Blackburn win people serious said we have one of the best CM partnerships in the league. This was after one convincing win.

You had the same in 2019/20 when we won the league. Had some torrid form in Oct-Dec and the same things being said then are being said now. Same as last season after we lost 3 in a row.

We’re 9 games in, there’s plenty of time to sort things out. It will take one good run of form and Robins will be the messiah again.

There is a problem though- it's not the last 9 games it's the last 20 . What's a good measure of time 20 , 30 , 40 games ?
Admittedly the variables have altered ( ie coaching etaff ) but this decline has been far longer than you are indicating

 

[Tile Hill Phil]

Short memories and ungrateful bastards

Not ungrateful at all about Robins achievements but unfortunately things don’t last forever

 

[Evo1883]

Because we have a better squad, a better chance of promotion and he'd get a better wage.

We don't have a better team looking at them today

 

[Otis]

Robins was also let down by 2 or 3 players today , you can set teams up however which way you want but you can't factor in the mistakes that lead to the goals today .. sheaf that's 2 games since his return where he's given the ball away in shit areas to lose us the game

Yup. Sometimes it is very small margins

You do realise you are calling people out for knee-jerk reactions, whilst alluding to something I said in response to people calling out Eccles, yet you have no idea what my feelings were before the Blackburn game.

You also only responded after the game today to said comment, so you used hindsight of today's game. Your hypocrisy is stark. People in glasshouses, my friend.

 

[RegTheDonk]

Robins isn’t the issue. It’s King. I’m certain, if left to Robins, we’d have signed a midfielder in the summer. We didn’t. We have no cover at right back, we have a lopsided squad.

Surprised he hasn't got Joel to fill in those positions.

 

[PVA]

On today's evidence no, but clearly we have a much better squad of players.

 

[procdoc]

Or maybe the players we have bought are not as good as we think

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Or maybe the players we have bought are not as good as we think

Not as good as some think, but not as bad as they’re showing

 

[Evo1883]

Not as good as some think, but not as bad as they’re showing

Isn't it more a case that we haven't upgraded the team in the right areas ?

 

[CovValleyBoy]

Yup. That's the way it seems to me.

Rudoni is a fabulous player on his day. But how often is it his day? He seems to be another Kasey Palmer at the moment. Lacks consistency.

Please. Rudoni is a footballer. Palmer was not.

 

[procdoc]

Isn't it more a case that we haven't upgraded the team in the right areas ?

The bottom line is we haven’t improved the defence or the midfield. We are much weaker in both areas than we were in the playoff season

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Isn't it more a case that we haven't upgraded the team in the right areas ?

We should be doing better than we are is my point. The team is top heavy but we’re seeing a team that can’t do the basics.

 

[procdoc]

Dovin must be delighted he joined us

 

[CovValleyBoy]

I reluctantly agree that his time has come, still plenty of the season to play and we can still reach the play offs if someone can get the team playing as they should. Shame if it does end like this and must go down as a legend, but we need to think of the here and now.

I don't know how any incoming manager could get a tune out of our central defence.

 

[fernandopartridge]

Hasn’t turned as much as Luton yet

I'd have Edwards here

 

[Chris1987]

Isn't it more a case that we haven't upgraded the team in the right areas ?

Obvious element of truth in this but if you're being brutally honest what have you derived from the tactics employed this season and the quality of the performances?

 

[Evo1883]

We should be doing better than we are is my point. The team is top heavy but we’re seeing a team that can’t do the basics.

I just think that it's more to do with the fact that certain players just aren't as good as we'd all hoped and we didn't get the right players in the right areas .

We simply aren't as good as we all thought

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

I'd have Edwards here

Problem is he’s been sucked into the same possession based shite that doesn’t suit the players he’s got.

 

[Evo1883]

I'd have Edwards here

Sure , but he's lost 17 of Luton last 24 games in the league

 

[fernandopartridge]

Short memories and ungrateful bastards

Robins himself knows that it's your last result that matters

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

This is true but we surely aren’t as bad as mere relegation contenders. If we are then basically everyone needs sacking!

 

[Evo1883]

The mistakes we are making on the pitch are hilariously bad

 

[procdoc]

The mistakes we are making on the pitch are hilariously bad

It’s actually embarrassing

 

[Terry Gibson's perm]

I’m sure in an interview before the game Bidwell said that Dempster works hard all week on the set pieces I really don’t see it they lack imagination and the throw ins fuck me we would be better off the opposition having them instead.

 

[Diogenes]

“The rot”. Brilliant. We won four days ago. Get real

You are in no position to question anyone else's grasp of reality. You are completely delusional.

So you're saying that the problem is recruitment ( I do agree with this tbh) but there are many other issues too with team tactics and in game set up.

 

[procdoc]

End of the day it’s a results business. What happened previously is ultimately irrelevant

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

I agree. Which tells me it’s not just the players.

It also tells me that King has to own what’s gone on.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Working hard on how to give our own 6 yard box a higher population density than Monaco

 

[Chris1987]

Sure , but he's lost 17 of Luton last 24 games in the league

Context required. Majority of those in the PL where money spent on ground improvements seriously hampered any transfer activity. I would be looking seriously to appoint him if Robins left

 

[CovValleyBoy]

Wow. That is a contradiction !

 

[Pricey1984]

Out of curiosity, given that we have not replaced the key players that have left well , whether that be the talented ones or the leaders... and we've not replaced the coaches that have left well, why do people beleive we would replace the most successful manager we've had in decades well?

I'm not being critical of anyone who wants Robins out, I am genuinely curious as i personally have no faith in us getting someone better in.

Seriously don't know how this will end up. Worrying times whatever happens
