For most of the first half of the season it wasn't working and we weren't creating enough.
Playing 2 defensive midfielders that rarely went out of our half at home when chasing the game was a common one he liked to do.
The people calling for Robins to go are he same deluded people that believe Cov are still a big premiership team
If memory serves me correctly , we dominated most matches early on but couldn’t put the ball away .
Then we had the unfortunate injuries of andreu and jones ,2 key players at the time .
He adapted the squad , and towards Christmas our form was indifferent , after Christmas though we had very good form through until the end with the occasional blip , we lost 6 in 25
We didn't really create many actual clear cut chances, it was the theme for most of the first half. He was very cautious, changing it around is why Kelly looked a different player towards the end of the season when he seemed to have more freedom.
The message he quoted was from last season.To be fair he's right.
How can you say we have no plan B? We've already tried more formations than the Red Arrows. What he doesn't seem to have at the moment is any semblance of a plan that works effectively.
But the moral of the story bud is that it worked , as we got promoted
The message he quoted was from last season.
Yes when he eventually decided to change things about a bit. (or got lucky)
I mean in general on the forum and on social media , I can’t work out wether fans are asking for him to leave or asking for him to sort it out .
I too had issues with robins last season ,didn’t always agree with things and vented things in frustration after losing games to forest green away and Yeovil at home .
But when all is said and done he eventually delivered .
So he earned fans respect and we should afford him time to get things right this season
You don’t get lucky over 46 matches , I went to 41 of the 46 league matches last season and felt like we dominated matches an awful lot , I often moaned that he couldn’t find a way as we were playing teams off the park but not getting the right results , then he mixed it up often went more direct and the results came with the occasional blip .
I’ve always had issues with his substitutions though , more to do with the fact it’s always on the 70th minute irrespective of performance
Its so frustrating. I wish we had a decent interviewer who could ask him the blatant questionsI'm saying sort it out rather than sack him.
What annoys me isn't just the results, it's the manner of everything. The way he doesn't know what his best team is, the way he talks like it is still pre season.
I can understand players coming late on in the transfer window, it happened to loads of teams. Robins had already changed his preferred formation by then and pissed about in our friendlies.
It's as if the players were out on the beer until the first week before the season started and they are picking formations out of a hat.
The thing is though is that we couldn't break teams down. We might well have dominated possession and kept clean sheets but now we aren't even doing that.
You can get lucky if something falls into place by luck though. I don't believe anybody could watch the Wimbledon game for more than 5 minutes and think it's a valid tactic to have somebody stood on their own and us just aimlessly hammering it forward.
Neither , one of the first things you leaner in football is how not to be offside.
I agree that the current system is not working at all .
It’s also why I don’t want to judge offayoko too harshly as id like to see how he works with a partner .
Hopefully that game was the straw that broke the camels back and changes to the system are coming
Do you actually believe it was Robbins who sold McNulty?The clock is ticking again Robins.... sell your top goal scorer without a replacement lined up is sacrilege and now it’s costing you. The scatter-gun approach to recruitment does not work either and now the squad is falling out with you, bad times.
McNulty's agent sold McNultyDo you actually believe it was Robbins who sold McNulty?
Fucking clueless.Ah shit, I have just merged the 02476 555 555 thread into this one by mistake. Apologies!
Intelligent input darling
Have you got any quotes that back up this shite?
Which bits did I cite as fact that you would like some quotes to backup?Sorry, as you would put it:
Do you actually believe it was Robbins who sold McNulty?
I honestly think that you can bring in too many players and that take times to gel into a workable team, whether it fits the system then that's a different matter down the line. The amount of signings we had brought in feels like he had little trust and confidence in some of last years players (Grimmer, Burge and Shipley jump to mind). With this its feels like the feel good factor of promotion has gone with it a little.
Some roles needed to be filled, left back, replacement for Doyle eventually, centre half etc but seems like he wasn't happy with anyone. I hated the loan system we used to play in replacing half of the squad with new strangers each 6/12 months but we now seem to be doing it with permanent players instead. Just feels like he has dicked around too much with the team unnecessarily.
It is going to take us 10 games to get into a position where we look decent in my opinion but I hope he doesn't continue to chop and change otherwise this could be longer. Still optimistic of a top half finish but I think the current performances show exactly how good we are in the league.
