Where are we in the xg table anyway
Where are we in the xg table anywayThere’s always anomalies, but generally the xG table is a good indicator.
I get Evo’s point. It potentially shows we’re just not taking chances and that’s the reason we’re shit.
however we’d have had a decent xG yesterday but our only shot on target was in the 92nd minute
The defence looks all over the place, there’s arguments on the pitch - MVE, Simms and Wright look totally different players from last year.I don't agree that the players aren't playing for him .
I see no evidence of that
Per 90 we are 3rdWhere are we in the xg table anyway

once thing robins could instil was heart and fight, remember when we were blood and thunder a few years back and we’d go right into the 95th minute. Nowadays if we go 1-0 down we don’t look like coming back. Heads drop and they coast until the end of the game
Considering Preston were shite - if anything they show that a change of manager can indeed improve the team
Burnley were forced rather than changedAll the relegated teams last season changed managers too!

Sheffield united had wilder last season as did Luton?
Relegated from the Championship!!
I’d argue Huddersfield and Birmingham were shit shows destined to go down at some point anyway. Rotherham also.All the relegated teams last season changed managers too!
See you tomorrowAnyway I can't do this anymore anyway .. it's frying my head so what will be will be , don't want him gone
I'm out

Sure they slightly edged the game but they were the home side and my argument is we had a perfectly decent goal chalked so we didn't deserve the loss .
It was a tight game , we done enough to get something
Il leave you with this , read what fans of other clubs think of our fans , exactly as I said .. won't be back on here until the whole thing settles one way or another .See you tomorrow
Why would we care what other fans think? They’re not watching us week in week out.Il leave you with this , read what fans of other clubs think of our fans , exactly as I said .. won't be back on here until the whole thing settles one way or another .

Again - why should we care? If we stick with this, and go down. Do we benefit from the kudos from other fans?we’ve become what we used to laugh at & look down at. Fickle & demanding heads at the first prolonged run of bad form.

social media has led to too much importance on other peoples opinion.
Right , what does that mean
this is XG after 46 games, or 49 in the case of So’ton, so not entirely relevant to the situation at the minuteWould you ?
Preston we're top early on last season but they were near the bottom of the xg table .
It showed that their form was unsustainable and it showed as they dropped down the league
What do you notice about the xg table from last season View attachment 38956
Of course the table is determined by Xg. I get it now . We really aren't just above the bottom 3. If Preston are as good a side as you have made out explain why they are 23rd in the Xg table and yet 4 points above Cov.Sheffield wednesday played well first half , we completely dominated the second half, Swansea we had almost double their chances , preston we should have got a deseved point but the officials fucked us
At this point we should probably forget about promotion entirely.We aren't going up this season, we need to look at improving over the season and finishing as well as we can ( under Robins) and push on next year
You still have your ‘League 1 on tour’ shirt from 2012?At this point we should probably forget about promotion entirely.
And as I said before - they don’t watch us every week, so their opinions of our fans is irrelevant.Not the point being made. This is the first prolonged crisis Robins has ever had with us, after delivering so much, and we have now have people angrily demanding him gone. It’s fickle and exactly what we used to laugh at teams like Sunderland about.
We were in a similar hole at a similar stage last season. The big difference is that all the leadership since then has gone, there’s no COH to come back and the team is falling out with itself on the pitch.Not the point being made.

Such fine margins isn't it.

Robins looks devoid of ideas and the team is getting worse. I’m sure I’d sleep better knowing that Steve the plumber from Sunderland reckons cov fans are decent for sticking behind Robins even if he gets us relegated
You say the team is getting worse yet we didn’t play that badly yesterday.
The point about other teams’ fans is a side issue. The point- again- is that this is the first genuine crisis Robins has had, and he’s turned everything else around before now. It’s October, there is no relegation battle, that’s stupid talk, and yet people are all riled up demanding his head on a plate, some with quite a lot of venom.
I’m still yet to see a convincing argument that he needs to go now. He has to turn this reasonably quickly for sure, but we’re not there yet.
And to be getting all bitter & twisted about it coming up with far fetched rationalisations why “times up”, it’s shit to be honest.
you’re making things up again to suit your agenda - where is the venom?
also if it’s the first genuine crisis, what has he turned around before if they weren’t also crises?
we are fourth from bottom - a loss on Tuesday against QPR and we’re in there, with a quarter of the season gone, and with an average of 0.8 points per game, if we carry on that way we end up on 37 points, which I’d put my house on being relegation
we’ve actually been in a similar / worse vein of form since March last year, over what would be 18 games, 5 off half a season - we are well and truly in relegation form currently, and therefore in the relegation battle
I’m yet to see a convincing argument for him staying, and by the way I’m on the fence on this one, but you in particular along with a couple of others are happy to spout nonsense about others suggesting a change, and yet you have no argument as to why we should persevere other than ‘we’ve had bad starts before’ ‘he’s turned it round’ or his past achievements with us, or he’s had a personal trauma
when are we there then Ring of Steel? do we wait until after Xmas and miss the chance to change things in the transfer window because I doubt Doug will be backing Robins if it’s still shit…do we wait until we’re league one and can’t attract the same calibre of manager, and lose one or two and have to rebuild again? when do we decide to make a change and take that risk, and is that a bigger risk than sticking with what we’ve got at the minute when nothing has changed and also looks like nothing is going to…??

What the fuck are you on about.
You're like a shit bot on social media that just says a lot without saying anything.
No, no venom at all
it’s my view that we give him until Christmas, yes.
