We're lucky 6th place is still there to play for. We're already 11 points of 5th place though....which is shocking based on where we ended Nov.
For the rest of the season we're basically in a mini league with Peterboro, Pompey & Rotherham. The winner obviously makes the playoffs....and I fancy Peterboro to be that team rather than us to be honest!
Yes, all the ingredients for this awful run of form were noticeable: Injury to key players, poor squad, a non goal scoring striker, A tactically rigid manager, and a history of entering 10/15 winless runs under Roland.
No different to last season under KR, the season before that under The Interim, and the season before that under Peeters.
Not this bad but anyone who reads my posts knows that I have been saying since the start of June that we needed some decent strikers & was very critical of KR to hold out for Reeves instead of assembling a well balanced squad.
I'm also sad to say that nothing will improve until we get new owners & KR goes.
Yes. Overall a poor squad and a manager with absolutely no tactical intelligence. Who can only play one way and tries to force that way no matter what players he has available, and struggles when things aren’t going well. I never expected anything else that mid table even when we were getting results.
Yes I can believe it, we have a terrible owner plus an average at best manager who successfully convinced some fans he is a great manager because we play "nice football", he shows "passion" and he had one good season a few years back.
Bring on the takeover so we can start attracting genuine quality again.
Was surprised that we made a decent start. Not remotely surprised that it's disintegrated - why would this season be any different from the 3 previous Duchatelet seasons? I think a lot of people got carried away very quickly early in the season when the good results were interspersed with losses and dropped points against the likes of Plymouth, Gillingham, Bury and Rochdale.
It's disgraceful though - the much-maligned Parky had us challenging for promotion for a year and a half while we were on the verge of administration in a much stronger division than this one, including Southampton, Norwich, Leeds, etc. Robinson needs to take his share of the blame, although the main issue always has been and always will be the morons he works for.
It's a predictable outcome. We are doomed as long as Roland's here, and even if we win our next three games against three of the weakest sides in the division, it'll just be a brief respite from the overall crapness that is absolutely guaranteed under this owner.
Out1st 11 were overplayed with no break and hence they are now injured. The likes a of aribo should have been used earlier to minimise the risk of injuries. Kashi despite being injured for how long was given no break. Solly with his fitness record again forced to play week in week out when we had djstell in reserve.
For me it's not the lack of plan b it a that there has been no rotation until injuries hit. It's not bad luck these injuries have happened it's bad squad rotation. Yes we have a small squad but there has been a failure to use the squad we have in favour of relying on the same starting line-up week in week out.
As much as I'd like to see Robinson given a chance at least till the end of the season,after all this ones now over, he will be gone within 48 hours of a takeover.
I'm so glad I decided to not go today. This club is in decline ( again) and for some reason the players seem to be getting off scott free when the criticism is handed out. Sure Roland is at fault as is Robinson and we know these players have the ability but do they have the balls? I don't think so.

Didn’t think it would happen until January though.
Wasn't sure myself if it would happen as though we could survive the season on minimal injuries yet not surprised.
The club is being neglected and Robinson ain't as good at winning games as he is at talking.

The above have all come back from injury and thrown straight back into the starting eleven, when thats happened they've instantly got injured again
As said by plenty of people; based on his performances this Christmas, there was absolutely no need to replace Aribo

There was no injury crisis that night just a little insight to the future
Yep we've had a run of injuries but we cannot keep using the squad depth to excuse his limited ability to organise and react during the match.

Hopefully the 2018/19 season will begin with a new owner and manager.
Nothing majorly against KR, I just think for the long term...he ain't gana be any good.
The club is rotten from the man at the top to his team.
