What possible evidence, over this season so far, where both have featured, is there that Stevens isn’t good enough but Eastwood is?!
Oh dear, misrepresentation. I'm not talking about this season, I'm talking about the times I have been lucky enough to watch the youngsters play, the same games the manger would have seen or had reports on, over the last few seasons
Hell the way things are, and I'm a big Eastwood fans, until things can be sorted properly in January as Steve Kinburgh said on the radio, I think we have no choice but to play stevens. Have you not noticed that loans are normally brought in when Eastwood doesn't wear the no.1 Jersey? What does that tell you? kr has had little faith for stevens to wear that jersey up until now. Don't be surprised to see Eastwood in goal on Tuesday, if kr is still in charge.
 
It’s obvious the defence are crapping it about having Eastwood behind them, any defence would be. Give Stevens a go till the transfer window, what’s the worst that can happen, we go 23 games without a clean sheet?
Stevens has kept a (the only) clean sheet this (strange ) season

Albeit in the pizza slice trophy
 
he wasn't needed though was he ! they never looked like scoring, the problem was we opted to hoof it anywhere and were not passing to each other resulting in numerous + needless free kicks..
Yeah it’s almost like we were desperate for an experienced head to calm everybody down as we continued to panic and sink deeper and deeper.

But you’re right we didn’t need Mousinho, or even Forde for that matter, because there were no signs of danger. Apart from all the things you mentioned.

Spot on, how bad is Mous if he is not getting 10-15 in a match crying out for experience and leadership!!! Add Forde to the mix as well .

Widely reported that Mous's knees are fcked and there's a risk of him ending up permanently crocked if he plays. Why he's on the bench in the first place is anyone's guess.
 
Let's all just calm down a bit here. Yes the subs were the wrong decision, yes our 2nd half performance was poor, yes Easty made a calamitous mistake.

Does Karl have the right minerals to drive our club forward? Wholeheartedly yes. Do we have a board that's head and shoulders above most others in the EFL? Definitely yes. Are we as fans going to stand behind our club and not slag them off because we lost one massive game? Surely we are. Swindon will almost certainly get relegated this season, we will finish mid table or better. Yes this season is looking like a missed opportunity right now but it's not over yet and we need to show some perspective.

Oh and you forgot to add we are too good to go down. We've been in and around the relegation zone all season, playing some of the worst defensive football we've seen for years, so tell me what the hell have you seen this season to tell you that, "Karl have the right minerals to drive our club forward."
At the moment, there is only one place he's taking us on recent evidence.
 
Henry was very poor today. Thought Forde should have come on.
Totally agree that Forde should have come on in the middle of the park. He has some degree of responsibility for the role. Whilst we were not great in the second half those 3 subs just created panic across the pitch. We started lumping because none of them could keep the ball. They also didn't want to defend when we didn't have the ball. I could understand Sykes coming on if we were chasing the game but we were desperately trying to hold it together and he does not have the desire to play that role.

Well obviously the only person that didn't see the need for an experienced head was Robbo. Instead he sent on sykes, Agyei and shodipo. Who have barely got 100 apps between them
 
It was a calamitous last hour for sure. We seemed to panic unnecessarily but certainly the subs did not help and most are in hindsight correct that with the tide going against us cool stable heads in Mous, Forde and maybe Hall would have been better. I have felt for some while that Sykes flatters to deceive in most games and he has rarely scored or assisted whilst the defensive side of his game is often weak as shown today when he crucially lost his man for the 1st goal. I have been a big Eastwood fan though he has often been hesitant on crosses but he clearly has lost confidence so his decision making has become hesitant. He really needs a break. Having said that we really should have put the game to bed in the first half. So disappointed.

Thats all very well, but if you look back over numerous threads and posts I am sure you will find no end of comments wondering why KR isn’t playing Agyei....

Agyei is not a winger though. If you are going to bring him on, either change to a 2 up front or replace Taylor with him. He played very well at Pompey while Taylor was sat on the bench. Same goes for Clare who is not a rb and plays better right mid.

These failings and not learning is why Robbo will never manage any higher up the pyramid.

I don't care if he's a winger or not, he didn't run! He didn't chase back! He didn't go looking for the ball! That's unacceptable in any game, but in a derby he had the opportunity to run a crappy defence ragged and did nothing. And Shodipo was even worse. I'm not sure how anyone can defend that.
 
Still fumin. There's only one pit Karl Robinson is taking us with his fcukin minerals and that's to the cesspit off L2. Where STFC belong! What a shíte side and no not just talking about them but our waste of a space for a team. Haven't got a clue.

Get rid off KR now before it's to late, Get Sam Ricketss in he will turn us around no problem. Mark my words!!!w.

So far just this season we have tried playing Kelly as a holding midfielder yet he played in the Chamionship as a no 10. We have had the Clare right back fiasco and the Agyei winger experiment. We persist with Robbie Hall but unfortunately he is unlikely to return the level he once achieved. God knows where Sykes plays.
I think Robinson is very protective and loyal to his players which is an admirable quality but in many football clubs that gets you a P45. We still appear to be experimenting, not a great way to be trying to win football matches.

Please not Sam Ricketts, the style of football was appalling. He still is the only manager I have ever seen kick a ball down the tunnel to waste time. Did you see Shrewsbury last season? Not many in Shrewsbury mourning his loss.
