Normal service resumed on Saturday, with a 2-0 defeat at bottom-of-the-table Bradford.
A few familiar themes in his post-match press conference -
“I said to them Bradford have got good players, they shouldn’t be where they are." - reminiscent of ""Everybody knows Bury are in a false position" after we drew 1-1 with them. Bury were ultimately relegated, 15 points from safety, so that doesn't bode very well for Bradford.
“The players are disappointed, frustrated, they’re honest, and it will hurt them, but that’s not a bad thing and I know I’ll get a response on Tuesday.” - I wonder if that'll be the same "caged animals" response he promised us at Gillingham following the 0-3 defeat to Wigan?
I must say, it's nice to be able to dissect a post-defeat Karl Robinson interview on a Monday morning. I'd forgotten how much I enjoyed it. Reasonably confident of enjoying some more drivel on Wednesday following a home defeat to Rochdale tomorrow.
Great Karl quotes from the past:
"I'm not a short-term manager, that's never been something I'm very good at, my style doesn't actually allow short-term success."
Given his history he’s fortunate anyone goes anywhere near him. He’s lucky if he was offered a deal to the end of the season. Clearly no one is going to throw a 2 year in his direction.
Im actually surprise he doesnt have a club at the moment... He's like Ravel Morrison where there is always one club stupid enough to waste their time in the hope they can be the ones to the best out of him

Hopefully then he has learned and is still learning. He didn’t show a lot of aptitude for that with us, particularly the formation but don’t wish him ill except if Oxford do better than us.
That's one defeat in 14 games. Wonder what those Oxford fans are saying about him now!
I'd imagine some Oxford fans are still saying bad things about him. Remember, they're still only placed 18th in League 1 with just under half the season already played. Most Oxford fans would have expected the club to be higher than 18th come December.

Some more meaningless nonsense in here:

...or long term success. Or medium-term success.

there fixed it for him

Would rather have Steer or Phillips upfront than have Ranger anywhere near the club
Top geezer tbf.
Fookin hilarious...haha haha haha
Just because you think that, doesn’t mean everyone else does?
If only there was some way you could gauge everyone’s opinion?
It’s a while since they’ve been on tv but it seems Little and Large are still together
