Think Palmer leaving without been replaced has really upped the pressure on Robins.

Personally I think it was the final straw for me when there are clear issues so far this season with drive from midfield. To then let the one player who has brought that spark leave makes it very difficult.

Last time I felt like this was Hereford away. Why youve sold McSheffrey chant

To be clear: Are you sack Robins?

People can be concerned. Let's face it he had no idea today

Evo1883 · Aug 31, 2024

I think robins has also been let down by the recruitment by not adequately recruiting properly in midfield

I am concerned too. How we can attribute so many unforced errors on the manager baffles me. Players are culpable.

Got three strikers but one right winger. Depth is great IF you need it. Today we upset the balance of the team with every sub.

jto123 · Aug 31, 2024

I would say my bigger worry is Doug King’s transfer policy and the supporting staff. Robins is really not where our focus should be.

Monty · Aug 31, 2024

Would I sack Robins? Based on his contribution over the past few seasons no, but purely based on performances this season and the lacklustre performances would be telling him things need to improve the next 5 matches or, yes, he is sacked. Players don't seem interested, they are either not good enough, don't understand the system or he has lost the dressing room, ultimately if they aren't good enough go back to basics but these are the core of the team from the last couple of years. It therefore has to be the system doesn't suit square pegs in round holes or he has lost the dressing room. The first he can change and if he doesn't is responsible, the second is he may as well walk now

Tommo1993 · Aug 31, 2024

This isn’t one of those reactionary things, but I think if we’re loitering bottom half come new year then he’ll be staring down the barrel.

Im pretty sure King said he couldn’t remember the last time he’d watched a football match when he took over.

Robins has to stop trying to play all his forwards and stick to the system. Wright plays left for 90 minutes. If that means Mason-Clark doesn’t play so be it.

Was it £4m we paid for EMC?

Tommo1993 · Aug 31, 2024

Wtf. EMC beat his man far more than Wright did on the left.

If Kasey Palmer was a bit heavier with less spacial awareness he’d be EMC

Alkhen · Aug 31, 2024

Fuck sake lads it's 4 games into the season! Robins has done more for this club than pretty much anyone in history I think he deserves miles more runway than 4 games.

Gets till Christmas/NY in my opinion

There was no heart today that’s the most worrying

He looked really good on the left. His actual position. Just glad for the two weeks on the training pitch. I'm sure things will click

He’s not a patch on wright. He never gets his head up and his touch is not great

The worry is that it’s a continuation of the poor form from the end of last season as well.

stevenorfolkcov · Aug 31, 2024

You only have to look at the way the Norwich manager has them playing compared to us.
They moved the ball quickly, weren’t afraid to play out from the back (admittedly helped by our inability to take advantage when they did make mistakes), and had a plan.
We didn’t know what we were doing, and this is with a squad largely established from last season.
Robins is now being exposed as tactically weak, exposed by Vivash going - I personally think it is time for a change - time runs out for all managers at some point.
This season has already gone due to our complete lack of midfield - Robins has to take some responsibility for allowing such poor recruitment, especially when we clearly had funds but bought in the wrong positions.

SkyBlueDom26 · Aug 31, 2024

All of this is on Doug king, we are fucking crying out for midfielders yet he fucking sells one on deadline day it’s laughable…….and unfortunately robins will end up paying the price for kings bullshit.
Also the 15 coaches that have come in are awful, we miss adi and Dennis massively.

Hard to disagree with any of that.

recruitment has been woeful

The man dragged us through the leagues with some of the most neglectful owners doing their best to scupper him, all the way. Playoff final and a FA cup semi the last two years. Bet he'd be delighted that renowned bed wetter Matt Smith gives him until Christmas

He'll blame the recruitment.

That form was to do with the fa cup run and a small squad. This is just players not settled and a lot of structural changes. The international break has come at the perfect time for us really

procdoc · Aug 31, 2024

He’s got to own this defeat as much as the players. He looked like he had no clue how to change it. Just swap a few forwards and hope for the best

Appreciate that, but he’s had very good coaches alongside him

how are they good coaches, there miles behind adi and Lawrence

Liquid Gold · Aug 31, 2024

Problem is we're playing with

MvE - Lati - Binks - Bidwell
Torp - Rudoni - Eccles

MvE is the only one that is consistently good, the two centre backs are ranked 3 & 4 out of the 4 we have, bidwell has regressed.

Torp hasn't yet developed into the player that we thought he'd be, Rudoni hasn't lit anything up and Eccles is up and down.

Also 6 of that 7 are players that were here last year and participated in us being shite towards the end of last season.

Our recruitment has been too focussed on one end of the pitch and whoever is responsible for that will be on the hot seat if things don't improve.

Nobody has a divine right to play 90 minutes.

If Wright (or anyone else) is playing poorly, they get hooked.

Sorry but that's an absurd statement.

Robins determines the recruitment position priorities. The idea that people think Doug King does is laughable.

Count the league games at the end of last season and the league games this season think we've won about 1 out of 10.

Based on what? The coaching is done behind the scenes. You have no idea on the coaching credentials

Why can we sign a couple of progressive midfielders?

It's irrelevant, if we're struggling at Christmas including the end of last season you're looking at 30-35 games of poor form.
