Let's remember that he brought both Bowyer and also Gallen to the club.
I prefer to call him Tubby Mctalkbollocks. There is no doubt he is good at introducing football people (who know what the're doing) to help him. The issue is generally, why does he need to bring in "football" people to help him ? (Obviously, we need assistant managers etc).
I still like karl. He showed a passion for the club and had to manage in some turbulent times. Of course bow has had the same problems and performed better, but that's due to bowyers brilliance more than robbos innadaquces imo. Robbo did some good things and I would clap him if I saw him. Much preferable to Slade and Fraeye
Same here ... as long as he's at a different club to ours.

I don't disagree with you.
I would not want him to return as manager.
Who amongst us would have predicted Bowyer to be the manager he is? I remember when Robinson left the majority here wanted JJ as the boss. Robinson deserves some credit for bringing him in.
Plus Steve Gallen who in my opinion is the best talent spotter we have had since the Premier League era.
Terrible result for Oxford, considering Bolton let in 6 on Saturday and have a team made up of unfit rejects from other clubs
Even worse considering Bolton had conceded 5 or more goals in their last 3 matches prior to playing Oxford.
I know a few Oxford fans and they want Robinson gone now. They're criticisms of him are very familiar to those we were making: tactically inflexibale, talks too much sh*t, never his fault when they lose.
Yet, Robinson won't be sacked anytime soon, as he signed a new 3 year contract in the summer.

If Oxford flounder around the bottom six he won't see the season out.
Big result for the Micky mouser and hatrick for tariq 8 points from relegation and 4 from the play offs sitting in 12th but have played 1 or 2 more games than a few others and 3 more than Pompey
To be fair it was a great win for them yesterday whatever way you look at it. They do also have some excellent attacking players for League One so ought to do well as the season progresses.
Sunderland’s draw at Bolton yesterday also doesn’t make Oxford’s look so bad now either. Especially the way Sunderland just got away with it. Jack Ross can’t have long, never believed he was a good manager. Think they’ve drawn 1-1 thirteen times this calendar year in the league.
Was at the Lincoln game yesterday. They were awful and losing the Cowleys looks like it will be really hurt them. They made Oxford look like Man City! Fosu was a handful and took his goals really well. Robinson was just in front of me and was his usual vocal self... Yesterday he was even more smug than usual. He tried to hide it but I could tell!!! Special shout to the Lincoln supporters who sang their hearts out for 90 minutes under dire circumstances.

Fosu seems to be quite a patchy player, as he'll have periods when he plays really well and scores regularly, then he'll have bad periods. I remember his brilliant hattrick at Fleetwood 2 years ago for example
5 wins 1 draw 1 loss manager of the month possibly another big win yesterday , has he sneaked in a new sidekick still only 10th , 4 points outside the play offs , 11 points from relegation
I'm not surprised by this. He always has a good run in him. When things come together he has the right players fit and firing and his system works his side generally go on a good run.
It's when things start to breakdown, players get injured or lose form, other teams work out how to counter his system etc. That he doesn't have the answer.
He's a manager of massive peaks and troughs in results.

This is spot on. A very streaky manager whose sides tend to either be on fire or horribly cold hence as he struggles to change things up when not going to plan.

Agreed, there were some excellent performances under Robinson as well as some frustrating ones.
The point is Fosu-Henry and James Henry are Championship quality when they are fit in body and between the ears. They have lots of flair in the Oxford side but can they dig out a result on a cold misty windy night in Fleetwood where the smell of fish is in your lungs and the only hot air is coming from Karl Robinson and The Yob Joey Barton is telling him to Calm down, calm down or I will see you in the tunnel.
Oxford have 13 goals in 3 matches but beware the bad weather.

1 point from next 5
Think it was 14 players signed in the summer, he cant have long left

"I can give you 4,231 reasons"
Other than that, they all seem to think he's too expensive to sack. That lengthy contract they gave him - madness!
8 points from relegation and 4 from the play offs sitting in 12th but have played 1 or 2 more games than a few others and 3 more than Pompey

I do not get this fixation with Karl on here?
He wasn’t great, was one dimensional, talked utter shite and he left us to go to the mighty Oxford.
