What needs to change? (1 Viewer)

I don’t see the players as the issue in terms of their ability.

The fact they’re so fragile is the issue. Anyone can see they’re petrified, bereft of any confidence. It’s absolutely screaming for a dose of experience, nastiness & toughness on the pitch.

It’s impossible to gauge them yet anyway in terms of ability & potential, seeing as not a single one of them has played to their ability the whole season so far.

Feels like we were conned into thinking it was decent by a good 13 game spell at the moment. Most of the players signed last summer are back to looking dreadful.

We need to go more direct. We still seem to be trying to play the ball around the back despite the fact Thomas and Kitching always moments away from a howling and despite the fact we have 4 strikers who are physically imposing and better in behind.

It seems remarkable that we aren't hitting the ball into the channels for any of the four strikers to run on to. It worked so well for us with Vik and worked well when we did it for Haji and Simms last season. Asante and Bassette will run all day.

With such a poor midfield, there's no point trying to overplay things. We don't have the movement of Palmer and O'Hare in the gaps to play the current style of football.

You look at the diverse opinions on here and instantly see how difficult the fix is. So many have different ideas.
Personally I think Robins needs a tough assistant by his side and this gaggle of coaches should be reduced.
We need a leader or two on the pitch but that has to wait till January.
We have to know and stick with our best 11 where possible now.
Sadly a lot of the damage is difficult to remedy because we have signed some very bang average players for too much money.
