That expectation was over a full season with a squad and formation Robis had trained. We are now 1/3rd through the season and miles behind the top 6. Expectations therefore can alter.The expectation has to be play offs. That is the target Robins had. That is why he’s gone. I fear we’re now moving to an early 80’s / early 00’s model of a manager a year. That saw us in L2.
If there’s no improvement I would. It’s a numbers game finding the right fit now. No sense in holding on for another 18 months and spending millions in the hope of a turnaround.
By miles you mean 3 winsThat expectation was over a full season with a squad and formation Robis had trained. We are now 1/3rd through the season and miles behind the top 6. Expectations therefore can alter.
To be realistic it’s not 3 wins though is it. It would be 3 wins if you expected no one above us to win any games at all over that period.By miles you mean 3 wins
You're right but I imagine if we won 3 games straight we'd be within 3 or 4 points based on average ppgTo be realistic it’s not 3 wins though is it. It would be 3 wins if you expected no one above us to win any games at all over that period.
Also with our defensive record as it is and these next couple of fixtures coming up we will need a while to chalk up them 3 wins.
Considering the expectations that were given to MR. We should be playoffs, anything less should be seen as a massive failure.

Agreed and obviously I hope we do but I think the reality at this moment in time with how we’ve been playing is we are more looking at making sure we aren’t looking over our shoulders than looking up.You're right but I imagine if we won 3 games straight we'd be within 3 or 4 points based on average ppg
I think if a new manager can come in and bed in a style of football that makes the most of the squad’s talent and has us consistently performing at a level that would get us into the playoffs on a full-season basis, then that would be a marked improvement over the past 12 months, even if it probably wouldn’t be enough to make the top 6 this season. Not sure why I should be unhappy with that.Considering the expectations that were given to MR. We should be playoffs, anything less should be seen as a massive failure.

I would have said the opposite. I had high expectations because of Robins. If it is a 'Lampard' let's just concentrate on staying up. I'm not being negative there. Just lowering expectations.I think a general barometer of the fanbase is good too but suspect those that didn’t want robins gone will have higher expectations of a replacement.
Based on many years of previous experience. There is a reason the fans of other clubs sh@t themselves after we thumped Boro. The stats were good, the goals are starting to come - no one other than a few flakey Coventry fans had us finishing bottom half.Doug sacking Robins has allowed people to create a romanticized version of future events if Robins had stayed.
We're 15 games in and our points total is relegation form. The new manager presumably won't have a time machine back to August, so that is a ridiculous statement.Promotion or what's the point? Could have had mid table safety with Robins. Anything 7th or below and the new appointment should be sacked.

How can our points tally be relegation form if we're 17th ? It's not static every seasonWe're 15 games in and our points total is relegation form. The new manager presumably won't have a time machine back to August, so that is a ridiculous statement.
blues got relegated on a higher ppg than we're averaging. Anyway, that's not the point I'm making.How can our points tally be relegation form if we're 17th ? It's not static every season

That’s a lot after 15 games.We are 8 points off the playoffs.
Maybe not but it’s equivalent to about 20th place.Our current ppg doesn't relegate you most seasons.. we are 17th and 8 points off bloody 6th get a grip

Yeah, I agree with you both, and did genuinely believe that Robins would drag us into the playoff mix at some point but Cam's key point here was that we shouldn't be sacking the new manager for finishing 7th given that would be playoff form over the course of a full season. I get Nanolimp's "what's the point" but it's done now. Sacking a manager that finished 7th would be exceptionally harsh.Our current ppg doesn't relegate you most seasons.. we are 17th and 8 points off bloody 6th get a grip

8 points is nothing in the championship as we have shown in previous seasons. Lots of points get dropped and anyone that can string a run together will find themselves there or there abouts.That’s a lot after 15 games.

We should be challenging for the play offs though.
