So in the space of a week Ian Wright gave tips to the team who slipped bottom of L1 and Watford who lost 4-0!
Very interesting league table! Plymouth actually had a point less than we do. And MK Dons we’re sat confortably in mid table. Only one of the four teams sat in the relegation zone ended up dropping. It’s not all over but obviously Robinson has to get things sorted nowWalsall 1-1 Shrewsbury Town - http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/41450708
I hope the link works, not good at this sort of stuff. Scroll down when in the link past the match report

And me that's why I posted itThat's actually cheered me up a bit!
It's reasonably encouraging, but to be fair, 6 of the teams in the bottom 8 then did finish in the bottom 8 at seasons end. Add Walsall and it's 7 of the bottom 9 at this point last year finished in the bottom 8 come season's end. Plymouth are the only team you could say really turned it around.Very interesting league table! Plymouth actually had a point less than we do. And MK Dons we’re sat confortably in mid table.

Southend only had one shot too. I havent seen a detailed report yet on how individual players did. This debate is just going round in circles - I don’t think he’ll be sacked so just get behind the team.Despite earning a draw, at a ground we never usually do well at. KR still has to go! Woeful campaign so far.
We mustered one shot on target through 90 minutes of football. It’s not good enough!
Bottom of the table. One win. On course for 25 points and relegation. And people still think he should stay?!?!
I’m not saying everything’s honky dory and he should definitely stay, what I’m saying is it’s pretty obvious Tiger isn’t going to dismiss him from what Robinson said after yesterday’s game, so moaning about things is going to achieve nothing. Better to try and create as positive an atmosphere as we possibly can to give us the best chance of three points next week and league one survival in the long term.Bottom of the table. One win.

Last season the final relegation place was Oldham with 50 points, so if we stay with KR, we could end up with half of that.
The whole season has to be put in context.
With over a quarter of the season gone, we are in a dire situation with a manager who blames everyone else, even training pitches for the situation we are in, rather than realising the team is picked and tactics decided by him and his two stooges.
The fact that we got a point against the poorest team I've seen all season changes nothing. We went bottom as well of course.
The people who suddenly believe that he's had a Damascus moment, and suddenly is potentially the saviour, is music to his ears.
The longer these people give him grace the worse the situation becomes.
Remember the "good bunch of lads" Patterson scenario. He was given far too long, some said give him time, and we all know how that turned out.
Yes we played a little better yesterday, but were still toothless up front, that was in spite of kr, not because of him.
Forget the fact we are bottom, the only thing that matters is how far in the relegation places points wise we are. Currently 5 points, a loss next week, who knows what it can be. It's taken us the best part of quarter of the season to get 6 points, getting relegated seems seemed more likely than not, thanks to kr.
All of the work MAPP put into the club to get us up, destroyed by an incompetent manager. If Carlisle was the high this has to be the low of recent years. But yeh, lets give him more time shall we?
I suppose that what I'm Suggesting is that creating as positive atmosphere as possible would be easier without a clueless leader.I’m not saying everything’s honky dory and he should definitely stay, what I’m saying is it’s pretty obvious Tiger isn’t going to dismiss him from what Robinson said after yesterday’s game, so moaning about things is going to achieve nothing.

Many people were calling for MAPP's head at this stage in his first season.
I agree the start of the season has been disastrous and if KR was to get the sack now he couldn't have too many complaints.
We gave Appleton time and he turned it around. Let's not forget that Robinson has a league 1 promotion under his belt.
If we continue the way we're going however we will go down. We don't score enough goals and make too many defensive mistakes.
I'm really not sure whether we should stick or twist at this stage.
