Robinson out?

cafc_harry

I’ll start this by saying I still think it’s too early and we need to get January out of the way at the very least, we’ve gone on good runs with him before and we may well again. The questions I want to ask are:
1. How long do you think he should get to correct it?
2. How patient do we think Roland will be? Naive as ever with his spending in the summer stopping well short of a big enough squad but I still think he ‘planned’ on going up this season and he’ll see that slipping away.

"We'll never drop out of the Playoff places this season". Fuck off Karl and keep your fucking mouth shut

stonemuse

Fuck all to do with Robinson now, it’s all up to Roland.

Leuth

If we haven't won by the end of the OIdham game I'd get rid. And I'm very patient with managers

cafctom

No. We're 6th in the league for crying out loud. If we were down to 12-13th then sure, change things up.

Not his fault that our squad is depleted heavily due to poor running of the club.

Not sure why people are even suggesting that sacking him would help us to be honest.

newyorkaddick

His record is poor but in the circumstances who would do any better?

cafc_harry

I’m posting on the assumption that a takeover is a way away still too. As I said I don’t think he should go yet but I think Parkinson was sacked for similar.

blackpool72

His stupid reluctance not to change a playing system that will not work in league one will eventually be his downfall.
As for when only Roland knows.
Will he support him in the transfer window or will he make a change.
We will find out in the next couple of weeks

AdTheAddicK

No way for me. However he's lack of change is starting to wind me up

I doubt that he'll be sacked during that game.

Based on current scorelines we are 8th and will be 9th if Pompey win

Dazzler21

Fuck off with knee jerk reactions. You lot are far too used to changing management at the first sign of trouble.

We've got 8 players out another 2/3 at less than 80% and an owner that won't spend.

We're not looking fantastic but we're not absolute shite either.

A management change could spell disaster at this point in the season, but funding player signings is far more important right now.

Braziliance

Won't make a difference, I'm starting to think he's a crap manager but we would only get some no mark in and we don't have the squad good enough for championship footie. I would say 5 of our players or so are good enough maximum.

All optimism drained from me, best we can hope for is 6th, probably get a mid table finish. We need new owners, that's it really. When we do then get rid of him probably yeah

ricky_otto

Not yet - I’d give him the first couple of weeks of the transfer window and see who he brings in and where we position wise.

That’s said, his refusal to switch from a formation that hasn’t worked for weeks is staggering.

Ultimately, whist we are being run by these mongrels - nothing will ever change.

Horsfield9

He's far from perfect, but let's face it, are we likely to attract any better and then fund them?

CH4RLTON

Really finding it hard to blame Robbo, we all knew what would happen once our squad size was exposed. He made it clear preseason he wanted 2 good players for every shirt number , he didn't get it.

MrLargo

No offence, but how many managers do we have to go through before people realise that the manager isn't the main problem, and all of them are doomed to failure under Roland.

Only able to put 6 players on the bench today, and the side we did have out has no right to expect any kind of positive result at Southend. Another transfer window approaching where we'll sell anyone of value and replace them with Dodoos, Bests and youth teamers.

I have loathed Robinson since the day he arrived and can't wait to see the back of him. He knowingly signed up for this shit so I've got no sympathy for him at all, but "Roland Out" should be the chant when we lose.

JamesSeed

No decent manager would come here now.

No ambition. No funds. Our best players will be wanting to leave. Decent players won't want to sign for us.

Duchatelet might well sack Robinson. But that'll only satisfy those fans who don't realise it's the ownership that's the problem.

Don't rate Robinson - no

Six games without a win playing inept football-can't blame all that on injuries. Don't think he's a good manager and I'm sure we can find someone just as bad.

Won't get a decent manager under this owner.

Dazzler21

Eight first time players injured and at least three others playing at less than 80%.

No you can't blame it all on injuries. Just the vast majority.

grumpyaddick

Robinson is very mediocre, irritating and overweight but he is not the core problem.

I'm totally against the fat acceptance movement but many of our own fans are far fatter fuckers than our manager. He's actually quite slim for a northerner.

So that explains all the last six games does it? KR has no managerial shortcomings?

Robinson quoted as saying he had an outstanding budget and as saying RD does not interfere at all and that KM is excellent. He chased Reeves all summer and bought in Marshall, Page and Dodoo.

Don’t get me wrong, I wouldn’t sack him, it is no coincicidence that we have had zero success in 3years of current ownership BUT if he is going to come With these claims and go for plaudits at City Addick about signing Fosu he has to take a fair slug of the blame for now and should certainly not be immune from criticism just because RD is the arch villain.

Needs to change tactics, needs to learn to pipe down sometimes and have a little more tact and needs to learn to bring the right players into the club. Can’t help thinking a more experienced number 2 would have helped in a situation like now but that, again, was his choice.

mogodon

Robinson is not the core problem but he is a chancer who's not as good as he likes to make out and I suspect now the going has got tough the bullshit will really start to flow ... look at last season when results went south and he started having a real go at players. He's a very average manager but given the state of the club, we're not going to get anyone better. Nothing will change until Roland sells or keels over.

The Red Robin

Roland out

SOTF

KR is a limited league 1 manager and we’re a limited league one team. It’s a stick rather than twist from me until we have owners with higher aspirations.

hoof_it_up_to_benty

The core problem is the owner and until that changes no decent manager would take the job. KR is better than Fraeye.

Sometimes yout have to suck the owners off in the hope that they'll give you some spending money in kind.

Problem is Robbo is less skilled at it than he thinks.

Didn't buy Dodoo - he loaned him. Fosu was a fantastic signing.
