Ask them where the goals are coming from

No he hasnt got any ambition. God knows how we won two promotions and a cup in three years. You must be great fun at parties
The cup final ? He took control of the actual 1 game the final ? League 2 we Should of pissed and last season we got handed it with very important games to goAll flukes, didn't you hear?
That is absolute bollocks and you know it. He's been questionable this year but Robins did extremely well particularly last year in getting us to the top with our budget, and we would have stayed there if the seasons played out.The cup final ?

Good chance but I’m saying we still had very important games to play who knows what could of happened,he can’t be credited for that cup final game tho it’s madness he literally took the finalThat is absolute bollocks and you know it.

League 2 he took a shattered team and did the job for us. Not sure how you can discredit him on those seasons.Good chance but I’m saying we still had very important games to play who knows what could of happened,he can’t be credited for that cup final game tho it’s madness he literally took the final
We were 5 points clear on a fantastic run having just played virtually all of the teams around us youThe cup final ? He took control of the actual 1 game the final ? League 2 we Should of pissed and last season we got handed it with very important games to go
No way would Slade have won that final. Listen I think he's really bollocksed things up recently, something I'm hoping he puts right asap... but you can't knock the job he's done the previous 3/4 seasons.Good chance but I’m saying we still had very important games to play who knows what could of happened,he can’t be credited for that cup final game tho it’s madness he literally took the final
He will though because he isn't rational. He can't appreciate Robins efforts the last few seasons without recognising that this season he hasn't been good enough thus far.No way would Slade have won that final.

Fair point but let’s see what he does going forward his formation last season is flawed at this level will he change it ? Or will it stay as 1 up frontHe will though because he isn't rational.

Fight ? Surely this comes from management up can you imagine a Neil Warnock or Roy Keane etc team playing like we do their softI think we need to fight for a win somewhere and a bit of confidence will come back.
The pitch looked awful last night prob Blame us if we stayed up and they went downWhy Blues may well go down......from their forum re: their home form
01.02.20 Blues 2 - 1 Notts Forest
12.09.20 Blues 1 - 0 Brentford
28.10.20 Blues 2 - 1 Huddersfield (The last time we scored more than 1 in a game at St Andrews)
Let that sink in 417 days...3 wins 5 goals
If Blues go down a lot of the blame should be focussed on the owners strategic and operational decisions.The pitch looked awful last night prob Blame us if we stayed up and they went down

Rubbish - compare the team MR took over when we got relegated to L2 to last seasons team. He had to work within the same financial structure and yet managed to redevelop the team with the recruitment of Doyle, Kelly, McNulty, etc... Compare and contrast! It was obvious that due to the major changes in playing staff the team would take time to settle and our results improved through the season.The cup final ?

I dont agree on league one or the checkatrade but he’s right - we made a right pigs ear of league two. We should have gone up quite comfortably.The comment about pissing league 2 is laughable. As if football is that logical. Before he came back to us, we had been on a continuous downward trajectory for near enough 20 years. We hadn’t finished in the top 6 of any league since the 70’s (and yeah, much of that was in the top flight, but a pretty big chunk was still in lower leagues). We’ve played badly in a few games, been outplayed in a few games and then it’s “AcTuAlLy, RoBiNs HaS bEeN lUcKy”... mind-boggling.
That’s not how it works though, is it. When we got relegated from the PL we thought we’d bounce straight back. When we got relegated from the championship, we thought we’d bounce right back. Look at Sunderland, look at Ipswich. L2 was the first time we’ve done something we were “meant” to... but in all honesty, my expectations were, it’s Cov, we’ll stay in this league for a few years and then finally go down to the NL. It was ingrained in the mentality surrounding the club. That was the hardest thing to change... and he did it.I dont agree on league one or the checkatrade but he’s right - we made a right pigs ear of league two. We should have gone up quite comfortably.
however the remit was to get us up, he did so, and we got a laugh in Nottingham.

Agreed, we shouldn’t have been at that level. That wasn’t Robins’ fault though.I know that’s not how it works. It was a travesty we played in league two.
Robins had a reasonable budget that year, not many league two sides would have picked up the players we did.
McNulty hadn’t dropped that low, Grimmer had played well for Shrewsbury in league one, Kelly was a big signing for Leyton Orient and Doyle had just been let go by Portsmouth, and they wanted to keep him,
Even Willis and JCH were higher pedigree players for that level.
we were miles behind Wycombe and Accrington.It might be that I became a fan in the premier league era. But we shouldn’t have
Been at that level.
No the league one season wasn’t Robins fault, and we’ve been brilliant since he’s returned. We got promoted from League two which was the objective. Just felt we made a meal out of it.Agreed, we shouldn’t have been at that level. That wasn’t Robins’ fault though.
Like I said, it doesn’t work like that, especially with us. We spent £5million on Lee Hughes in 2001, it didn’t work. Sunderland spent £4million on Will Grigg in L1! That didn’t work! Even Guardiola didn’t win the PL with Man City in his first season, despite spending a fortune!
I’m just thankful he turned us around, no matter what it took to get up. Honestly, I thought we’d be in the conference by now.
I'll admit I was starting to lose a bit of faith up until the Brentford result. Performances against Forest & Watford showed we can do it, we had the chances. I think Hyam had a hat-trick of chances in one of those games. Walker is going to be a huge factor if we stay up.
Good and bad runs happens to all teams, Rotherham had a great run of 13 points from 6 games, now they've lost 4 on the bounce and still below us. We're still 5 points clear and have been on a terrible run of form.
6 wins, thats all thats needed!
