Better than hill and Sillett - righty ho
He is up there with our most successful managers ever .. that's a fact
He’s managed at a lower level. Managers on very tight budgets who made sure I was watching Liverpool every season for 20 years for me deserve as much respect - you can’t win promotions if you can’t get promoted
This situation now is at a similar level to those managers so now is an acid test of compatibility
We had an indifferent mid season
We won 7 from the first 11 and 7 from the last 13
In those 24 games we lost 6
It was mid season
You're arguing something you don't even know
Grendel , as usual when it comes to mark robins you talk absolute waffle ... I suppose I should listen more to you when you talk about finances ..but when it comes to football il continue to ignore the crap you spout
You said earlier you think the club will struggle to make it until January.
John sillett never had that kind of pressure
We scraped into the play offs. We weren't great for most of that season.
Did you ever watch the team through the 80’s?
I've just told you exactly how the season went and you've ignored it to carry on spouting
We had an indifferent mid season .. good start and good finish
I started watching in 89 , most fans I speak to that did though hold Robins in high regard though .. so I'm unsure why id take your opinion over theirs
You can go back through the season, we would pluck out wins through good performances and then go on 2/3 game periods of some of the worst performances I've seen.
Forest Green home and away, Morecambe away, Chesterfield away, Yeovil, Accrington home and away. Horredous performances.
its incomparable - I though Gould was a lunatic but he lost an entire team recruited a squad of mainly low and non league players and stayed in the league including a 4 - 0 thumping of liverpool
Situations are not comparable - it doesn’t have to be a heated argument just opinions
Well it doesn't have to be heated no .. I don't agree with you on Robins, I never saw any manager from 89 that was better , unless I'm mistaken ?
I know , I was at every single match .
Weirdly football at league 2 level is pretty fucking shit and we were one of very few teams that tried to play football ..
Again though
We started very well , lost 3 in the first 12 and lost 3 of the last 13 to finish well ..
Our mid season form was as you describe , indifferent..
14 new players 20 left .
We got the job done
He was still was poor tactically in game and I'll stand by that.
I think he's been poor during games ever since. Even last year. The time he makes substitutions is baffling.
It has been since they’ve been hereReverse the taxi back up the street it's the owners fault now robins

Stand by all you want , 5 successful years with 2 promotions are facts you are arguing against using opinion
Do they ?He has many strengths, but in game tactics isn't one of them. Most agree with that.
Not sure how you can compare Sillett and Robins. Especially given Sillett was financially backed more than Robins (which granted isn’t hard).
Winning the cup, then finishing 7th the next season should’ve been a catalyst to even better things but it’s when things actually started to go downhill.
Why? (Well, perhaps the situations are somewhat comparable.) After a bad start to the following season team moral was low (sound familiar?) Sillett dropped Speedie (sound familiar?) then in November was sacked, or walked (released while he was sick) and was replaced by Terry Butcher. The rest is all fucking downhill.
Robins is the man for the job, if he wants it anymore.

Managing in the top division is always the ultimate challenge, but it’s over 20 years since that was last relevant

You’d have had him gone and replaced with Kenny Jackett years ago, so you’ll forgive me for not giving a shit about what you think.
Robins team has a wage bill comparable to a lot on this league - the signings last season were largely poor
Says the man who says if you don’t think hamer os the best player we’ve had for years you know nothing about football
Ah fuck it can't be arsed .. if you don't like Robins you don't like him , not my issue and I don't even know why I let it bother me ..
I don't know how anyone can say Robins is tactically inept.
Even if you ignore the two promotions (which is a pretty big thing to ignore!), how do you explain all the points from losing positions last season? Staying up first time of asking with a weak squad?

Show me
I believe the average wage in the division is 35,000I have no evidence to give but I have been told the new contracts for O'Hare etc are a lot higher than people realise.
There's probably 6/7 players on 12k+. Compare that to our first season in the Champ where we had maybe one or two above £10k.
