Another poor performance and poor result. The team looks badly organised both in an out of possession and people need to be accountable for this.
What do the members of this forum think needs to change to improve the performances and results?
- Should the team play possession based tactics or a counter attacking tactics?
- What formation should be used? 4-2-3-1, 4-3-3, 3-4-2-1 or 3-4-1-2?
- Does Robins need an Assistant Manager?
- Does there need to be a change to the coaching set up?
- Should Dean Austin be replaced as Head of Recruitment?
- Should the Manager be replaced? If so, who should replace him?
I think the team would be most effective in a 4-2-3-1 formation and with possession based tactics and a high press.
A new Assistant Manager could help Robins and the coaches as Rhys Carr is the only coach at the club that has previous experience of coaching at senior level in the Championship. Delaney, Boateng and Dempster were all Academy coaches.
Dean Austin has made several errors with squad planning and recruitment and his position should be reviewed by Robins and King.
It seems that Robins has been badly let down by Austin who has spent circa. £18m on 4 strikers (Simms, Wright, Thomas-Asante and Bassette) during the last 2 summer transfer windows and the squad is unbalanced and lacks strength on depth in several positions such as centre midfield, number 10, right wing and right back.
In my opinion, Robins should be given until the next international break to improve results.
This will be games against QPR (A), Luton (H), Middlesbrough (A), Derby (H) and Sunderland (A).
A minimum of 8 points from these 5 games should be the target.
If there is a change of manager, the following are likely to be decent candidates
Frank Lampard - Unemployed
Liam Rosenior - Strasbourg
Luke Williams - Swansea
John Eustace - Blackburn
Lee Carsley - England U21
