I think we'd still be talking about this if we are in the Conference!
The Conference?
It’s like telling the truth on here is forbidden. Don’t get me wrong I wouldn’t sack him as it hasn’t worked any other time we’ve done it; the underlying factor is Sisu and it’s no coincidence since they’ve been here good managers have failed to get promoted. I wouldn’t be confident going into the play offs, as I wouldn’t trust them not to bottle it with the losing mentality that is ingrained within the club.Nothing he has said there isn’t true. We’ve been pretty much in the top 7 all season, so to not make the play offs is a massive failure and he should go if we don’t make it. You cannot say all season we are the best team in the league and then not make the top 7.

I can’t comment on that as I haven’t been around that long, but I assume it’s been apart of the club long before Sisu as well. They’ve just continued the trend.I don't disagree, SISU are clearly difficult to work under. However, what about the previous 37 years of a losing mentality?
Yes but for most of them years we held our own and had our best years.I don't disagree, SISU are clearly difficult to work under. However, what about the previous 37 years of a losing mentality?

who do you suggest we replace him with ?
i for one share no excitement to begin yet again with a new manager who wants to bring in his own players and for us to start again.
5 additions to this squad will elevate us to the next level.
if you can’t get your team up for a must win home match against another, yes another lower league team, then you’re not wanted here.
No top seven finish or you’re out son!!
Not his biggest fan think he’s bit overrated for me, but he has us winning and likely to be in play-offs which is the very minimum for me.

I get what you're saying, but over his two spells with us he has a 50% win ratio. That's not far of Wenger's at Arsenal!
Brendan Rogers favourite.I get what you're saying, but over his two spells with us he has a 50% win ratio. That's not far of Wenger's at Arsenal!
Just think MR’s early season defensive minded tactics cost us points and looking at the table now probably automatic promotion and we seen last night a different Liam Kelly playing a more forward thinking role.Not his biggest fan think he’s bit overrated for me, but he has us winning and likely to be in play-offs which is the very minimum for me.
Top 7 was minimum for me, still pissed off at not reaching the automatic positions plus there’s a strong chance we still might not go up.All gone quiet over here!
Sky Blue Ruffian who are ya who are ya

There has been some improvements in the attacking side of our play, so that is positive. Shame that couldn’t be shown at home against Forest Green and Yeovil.
When the extent of Jones’ injury at Stevenage was announced, I thought it could be a real hammer blow to our season, particularly following on from that of Andreu. If you had told me at that stage that we would also lose Nazon at Christmas, I would have said we had no chance of promotion. However, Robins has managed to keep us trundling along, mostly in the top 7 and has given us an excellent chance of doing something no other manager has since relegation from the top league, a place in the play offs.Why are you 'pissed off' we haven't reached autos? Our best player has been injured since game 19, and I'm convinced Andreu would've been a key player had he also done his ACL. It'd be like taking out Billy Kee of Accrington or Akinfenwa from Wycombe. Take fixtures like Notts County, Exeter, Lincoln where he made the difference for us. We're 7pts off autos now? I think Jones is worth more than that over the 24 games he's missed so far - imo, he would've passed 10 goals and assists had he managed 40-odd games. Andreu over his career gets roughly 10 goals a season too. Incidentally, goals from midfield has been a weakness of our since Jones and Nazon have left...
I think with a fully fit squad, I think we're good enough to finish top 3 for sure. But, we've been particularly unlucky with injuries. Assuming we miss out on promotion via playoffs, we're in good stead. With injured players coming back, and few additions to the squad, I'd make us favourites to go up next season I think. Jones, McNulty and Andreu in the same team on form is a very entertaining prospect.
Context is everything too. Most teams capable of bouncing straight back up went down with strong teams, and probably shouldn't have got relegated in the first place. Our team was a mess last season and we've completely rebuilt from the bottom up. There's a reason why only Doncaster have managed to get promoted at the first time of asking in the last 5-10 seasons.
This season is undoubtedly a learning curve for the players and MR. This season has shown him to be tactically flexible, a good instinct in signing players and identifying young talent. He's a good fit for the club, and any notion of sacking him shouldn't be entertained unless we fail miserably next season.
The notion that his substitutions are too late, too early or just wrong I don’t think stacks up either. Off the top of my head, in recent games his substitutions have brought goals, assists or changed the game at: Newport (Reid, Biamou), Yeovil (Biamou), Crawley, (Biamou).

IMO MR has learned a lot from this season, particularly about this division. He obviously wanted to get the defense sorted out first and for the whole season we have had the best defensive record, so that plan was successful. Now we are playing various more attacking formations we are conceding more goals but results are still coming. Its definitely preferable not to be messing around too much with formations and what your best team is at this stage of the season, but considering our lack of continuity from last season to this, in terms of players, manager, and the division we find ourselves in, and of course our bad luck with injuries to key players, I don't think MR has done too badly at all. OK mistakes have been made but most people agree that it is unusual for a team to get promoted from L2 in their first season following relegation. There is obviously a reason for that.
THISTo be fair to robins he lost andreu and jones for most the season

His win ratio is one of the best among managers since Jimmy Hill (if not the best). He seems to have a method and a plan. If we don’t go up this season, why would you want to undo all of his good work in building a team to have another stab in the dark with someone else? For once I think Fisher will make the right decision and leave things alone.

And at the time, one of the very few players we had with pace.Nobody has said that.
What he was though was our top scorer and maker. 5 goals and 8 assists at the time of getting injured.
