People get so irrational about results at this stage of the season. We're losing games by 1 goal - we're in every game we play. Time and time, under Robins, we have bedding in phases of new systems and players, until it clicks and then we go on mad runs until injuries/fatigue hit us. Other than Sheaf, we should ok this time, just need to get to the point when everyone is fully comfortable with how we play.
Some of the games we've played this season and at the start of other seasons, Robins probably could have approached them differently and forced a win, but the bigger picture is to keep persisting until it all clicks into place. It's just a few tweaks until it all becomes fluid and we can start to play with confidence.
