    Seems there's deep rooted problems on the player front. No s*** Sherlock!

    I'm happy in a way, as I want these out asap, but can't do until summer. Players need to take responsibility. Not all, but fair share. The details are their faults, like not listening to tactical instructions for starters, lack of discipline.

    On the other hand, don't see how it's going to improve morale.

    Rock and hard place...

    Right. So who in tonight's line up (which he selected) has dodged bullets for so long? Most of them have only been here five minutes, or are fresh from the U23s.

    I'm all for banging home a few truths but he's just clumsily alienated tonight's team before hurriedly praising Holmes, Novak, and Jacko. Talk about losing the players!

    This sounded far more like self preservation, passing the buck. Excruciating. Impossible though it is to manage under RD, he's now making a fool of himself. Just what are these mysterious goings on that he's so desperate to tell us about. Come on, spill the beans. Why can't you make these wonderful changes that would save our season? Oh, I know.....

    Okay....interesting....next manager please.

    He's definitely under the strain and I really wouldn't be surprised if he was put under more pressure before the game in front of the players.

    Only a matter of time now before Congo Chris LOL has a go.

    He's screwed and he knows it. Just getting his excuses in early.

    Just like Pardew everyone else is to blame.

    Compare and contrast with Curbs who always said the buck stopped with him.

    Every change is the right one isn't it Kat?

    Had him pinned as a Scouse Pardew from his first interview, nothing has happened since to change my opinion on that. He even picks team like Pardew used to when he finally totally lost it. Just floundering around sticking more and more forwards on the pitch hoping that, somehow, one of them might score a goal, never demonstrating an understanding of how to control a game through tactics.

    However, I still maintain, that the constant flux of managers and players has been the single biggest problem for this club over the last 3 years. At some point, we need to settle down and give manager and his players 2 maybe even 3 or 4 seasons to just chip away at our flaws and see if they can't finally, however slowly, turn this juggernaut around.

    It needs to be the right man though and however hard I try to think rationally about it, I just can't convince myself that Robinson is the right man. Slade I actually thought might be, but Robinson no.

    The real trouble remains the ownership though, because until we have an owner willing to back the manager properly (or at least as best they can within their/the club's resources) and genuinely allow them to just get on with their job, with minimal interference, whoever comes in will be doomed to fall short of what we as fans expect.

    He mentioned Champions League, so he's likely referring to Tex & Watt & possibly Botaka.

    It can't be Rudd or he'd play Phillips.

    I doubt it's Byrne.

    It can't be Konsa, Jackson, Holmes, Aribo & Novak, as he praised the older 3.

    He also bemoaned not having Pearce, Solly, Lennon & Bauer.

    So it must be Watt & Tex and a question mark over Botaka and Magennis.

    A chancer of a man that couldn't manage his way out of a paper bag.

    But WE all knew that before the tin pot pricks that run this club took him on.

    Did I hear him say he's going to get out of contract players to play? I was confident of a boring mid table finish but after listening to that we could be staring at the abyss.
  • If players aren't fighting for the club, don't pick 'em. Simples.

    Otherwise keep your trap shut as the dressing room must be looking at each other wondering 'is he talking about me or him'.

    I've been a supporter of Robinson and his enthusiasm but listening to that; yeah he's lost it.
    What the fuck is he on about - he lauded his jan signings and is now moaning that 'he can't do what he wants to do' and suggests the squad ain't good enough.
    Bizarre and very worrying interview.

    Murray's shown his colours and is standing by them. Detest the man and he's as bad as the Belgians. Rotton to the core this club

    As manager wouldn't he be in control of what happens before a game.

    Murray!
    Good god no.

    He's been well and truly put out to pasture and his brain long since turned to mush.

    You'll normally find him at the back of the corporate canteen blowing snot bubbles or singing 'o'Danny boy' with a pair of y-fronts on his head.
  • I'm not listening to that. He's so full of shit. He's tactically inept and has been found out.

    I fully expect him to be sacked by morning, You cant have an outburst like that. What players are going to play for him now till the end of the season after the shit he just spouted. We are royally screwed.
