If Robinson is a football coach then I'm Johann Cruyff. How does he have a job in professional football as a coach? Started with a 4-2-3-1, switched to a 4-4-2 Diamond, then back to 4-2-3-1. WTF. The players must be totally confused, especially the younger ones. Looking at tonight's shambles, most of them are mugging him off anyway.
Left five minutes from the end and could hear "You're not fit to wear the shirt" as clear as anything in Charlton Village! The whole ground must have been singing it at the end.
I don't even know where to start with that. The should be ashamed of themselves. Not fit to wear the shirt, indeed.
Tried to figure out what formation we were trying to play, gave up in the end. Ridiculously narrow midfield left Da Silva totally exposed. The poor lad looked completely lost as a full back. Yet again, we gift the opposition total freedom to attack down our flanks. Does Robinson actually watch what is going on during a game? Is he too bored to watch the video after to figure out what the problems are? He is making the same mistakes over and over again.
Our only hope is that there are four other teams more desperately awful than Charlton.
The tribute to Keith Palmer was very touching and it was great to see so many turn up for it and pay their respects. Made me remember what a great club we can be.
Worst performance I've ever seen at the Valley. How could the players play like that with no heart or passion in what should have been an emotional tribute to a grave man. If there's no takeover Swindon will be my last match can't face another year of this crap.
Don't think Solly did too well for both goals did he?
I didn't want to criticise him in my post as frankly I love that guy and he is the sort of person I want at the club. But he looked well off the pace tonight. I guess it could be the effect of all the injuries finally slowing him down but he looked far from the small right back bombing up and down that flank and more like a journeyed Pro treading water. I really hope that is an exception to what he is still able to do but it struck me as a metaphor for the night and of the club as a whole.
Robinson left Mk Dons when they were 19th. 16 points in 15 games. Since Robinson left MK Dons they are now 12th. 38 points in the 26 games without him.
Before Robinson took charge of CAFC 11th. 27 points in 19 games. Since Robinson took charge of CAFC 16th. 20 points in 22 games.
Possibly the worst performance I can recall in 30 years of following this club. Bar Holmes whof was a cut above (although not difficult tonight) we looked clueless.
Robinson will get pelters but the players need to take responsibility for not doing the basics a pub footballer would get slated for.
Sad thing to see was the almost acceptance of it all...they had a corner in front of the covered end first half and their taker had the ball about 6 inches outside the corner do which would usually cause uproar but wasn't even a murmur.
Team looked beaten after the first 6 minutes. Thankfully there are so few games left because another ten or so and we'd be nailed on for relegation.
Team was devoid of spirit, grit and belief and going nowhere good based on what I saw tonight.
This ownership is slowly killing the club. Hopefully the fanbase can unite like in the early days of protest and get these lot out of SE7 before they drag us down even further.
Have fucking mk dons won more games against fucking Karl Nobinson than they did when he was their fucking manager this year? He really really is dogshit.

Teams are better off without him.
Just have to keep repeating this to anyone who thinks we should let him spend money in the summer.

I was asking this myself tonight. How in Hades is he a football manager? Even as a manager of anything. Even as a manager of people. What a joke this club have become.

Absolute shyte. I've seen better organisation and skill displayed on Hackney Marshes. How can they consider themselves as professional footballers - their sole job is playing football and practice daily. How come they can't pass a ball to one of their own team players (excellent at passing to the opposition) as they can do it in the warm up. No tactical awareness from Mr Gobbie. Oh shit I could go on and on but I won't and end on a positive note.
Excellant from our fans singing: "PC Palmer, he's one of our own" and the stand up applaud that went around the ground. And of course, "Roland Out".
I am sick of watching us get slaughtered down the flanks, as it happens match after match, yet KR does nothing about it. It must be terrible being a FB, especially a kid like Dasilva, knowing that you'll have no cover at all
We have plenty of players to play a sort of 442. Tonight on the left we could have had Chicksen behind Dasilva with Solly behind Holmes, with Byrne and Botaka also available to change things.
I've no idea where JFC and Aribo were meant to be playing in the first half as neither contributed much going forward, but didn't provide much defensive cover either
A couple of Slade like draws are needed now but our current incumbent hasn't the tactical nous to recognise this, let alone implement it. Relegation fight is on now.
I am just astounded he somehow managed to get MK Dons promoted from this league. He seems utterly clueless as to what some of the basics of football involve.
Four of the remaining five games against sides beneath us should allow us to just about claw our way to safety, but I simply cannot see that this side - which will be the core of the 2017-18 squad - can lift us out of this division.
I suspect the answer to how he got Milton Keynes promoted is Alli & Afobe.
And Grigg.
And they all stayed fit all season.
Pretty sure with that front 3 I could get us promoted from league 1.
If that fat **** Jimmy Tarbuck is still the manager in the morning then I think we can safely say Douchbag must want to get his own back on us by allowing Robinson to relegate us.
We gathered to pay a tribute to one of our own, PC Keith Palmer, which was impeccably observed by all present.
One hoped that in their turn the players would then put on a performance to be proud of as their own tribute. Sadly we were 'treated' to a gutless, spiritless performance from the Charlton players. I exempt Ricky Holmes from that broad brush and, to a lesser extent, Pearce and Solly as it is unrealistic after a lengthy lay off to expect them to hit the pitch sprinting.
The rest though were a disgrace and, although I didn't join in myself, the choruses of 'you're not fit to wear the shirt' at the end were understandable. I hope they feel some semblance of shame and desire to make amends next time out.
The performance was so dire that we were reminiscing about old Charlton teams and picking our own all time X1s to the extent that I completely missed the MK Dons second goal!
A sad performance which was one of the worst of a poor season but not that surprising all things considered which PC Palmer, as a longterm fan, would have known all too well.
To try and even analyse it is quite a job. It's shambolic.
It's clear from the fact that KR keeps rotating players, he's utterly clueless as to what to do. Not that any of them apart from maybe Holmes deserves to hold down a regular place, but if you keep dicking about with player changes and slightly different formations, there will never be any settled consistent play.
Saturday we had Bauer and Tex and centre back, tonight it's Pearce and Bauer, this Saturday will probably be Tex and Pearce.
Saturday Chicksen was left back, tonight it's DaSilva.
Saturday was Ulvestad and Forster Caskey holding, tonight it's Aribo and Forster Caskey holding (I think).
I genuinely couldn't tell you where Holmes plays because he seems to be everywhere (that's not a pop at him because I think he's the one player actually playing for the shirt at the moment)
On Saturday did we have Watt up top with Novak or was it Novak up top on his own with Watt in the 3 behind Novak. It doesn't matter because tonight it's Magennis up top on his own.
Solly comes in for Byrne and didn't look anywhere near fit enough or ready, and you could argue that the one player who should be dropped on current form, Rudd, seems to retain a place regardless, when Phillips as looked much more assured when he's played.
Granted I think there's been a few niggles and injuries in recent weeks, but it really does seem to be a lottery as to who will play now.
It actually took me about 5 mins to go through the starting line up tonight and work out who fitted where in KR's preferred 4-2-3-1, only for it to look more like a diamond of sorts.
If it was, you can see why MK Dons got so much joy down our flanks. DaSilva is not a left back and had no cover, poor Chris Solly has had a wretched career with injury and was hung out to dry with no cover.
KR's tactics, team selection and instructions on how to play, mirror that of his interviews. A manifestation of his words spouted at you with little cohesion, structure or meaning.
We've also got a back room staff that resembles an episode of the raggy dolls. Bits of human cloth thrown together in a blind draper's factory that are also contributing to this mess. With all due respect to messrs Barker, O'Laughlin and Bowyer, none of them have had any sort of history together, and none of them are experienced coaches. Bowyer has popped up out of nowhere, presumably waiting until fly fishing season starts and Jimmy Bullard stops touring the country with soccer a.m. O'Laughlin we know is RD and KM's rent boy, and Barker was joined to the hip with Karl over the last year when the two of them have taken MK Dons down, and now fancy a crack at successive relegations
To top it off, the club seems to being run by an incompetent, inexperienced competition lawyer who got the job because she helped Roland with some tv rights and laws to do with an issue he had in Belgium, the wife of the club secretary and the ever present shadow that is Richard Murray who simply sits there, week after week, having presided over what was the most successful period in the club's modern day history, and won't say or do anything to stop this implosion
And it is an implosion of a monumental scale.
And to top it all off, when I got home tonight, my fucking shoelaces got all tangled as I tried to get them off, so I spent the best part of 10 minutes trying to nibble at them to untangle the knot, only to bite through the fucking things. That and a £7 large chicken Shish with only 4 sodding cubes of chicken
Club should be so embarrassed with this latest shambles of a show...,they ought to be giving half the ticket mons as organised to Pc Keith Palmer's family,then donate the other half to the families of the other victims of that days atrocities...!!

I'll remember this evening For the decent tribute.
The covered end were right, You're not fit to wear the shirt.

Watching that video, he knows he doesn't have a clue how to turn things round.
And it's obvious that the players also know that he doesn't.
